Victoria released under the name Beckham instead of Adams too and i don't see you complaining about that.

 

As that has been her stage name and is what she is famous for

 

Geri Halliwell is famous for being Geri Halliwell and that is the name on ALLLL her singles. They are NOT credited to Geri Horner.

I've been on a mad Spice binge on my Spotify and YouTube for the last week and a bit ahead of me going to the Spice exhibition in London next weekend. Last night I watched 'An Audience With The Spice Girls' again and it bought back so many memories from when I used to watch our VHS taping of it as kids:

 

 

- The first performance of 'Stop'. I remember when this got aired, that was one aspect of the show every one in my primary school was talking about on the Monday, to the point where when it was played at our Christmas disco a few weeks later, myself and most of my friends had the routine down pat!

- Richard Madeley, Brian Conley, Dale Winton et al being dragged out the audience and made to be 'Spice Boys'. That was so funny!

- When Geri and Victoria talk to Saffron Le Bon (Simon's daughter of course). 'Simon, you're a lucky man!'

- The assortment of 90s names in the audience who you hear hide nor hair of nowadays - Sally Gunnell, Jayne Middlemiss, Mystic Meg etc.

- The Luther Vandross duet. I really loved their version of 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now'.

 

I also found the 'behind the scenes' film they did about the show for CITV with Lee Sharpe (again, another 90s name we hear hide nor hear of). Includes a young Carrie Hope Fletcher (Tom's sister and West End star) playing a young Emma Bunton!

 

An audience with the Spice Girls one of my favourite things they ever did! :wub:

I also recorded it and played it on my vhs non-stop. I remember practicing the Stop routine in front of the TV again and again!

I'm currently binge-watching all of the Spice Girls adverts that I can find on YouTube - Friday night goals! :lol: It's quite crazy how many sponsorship deals they had.

I'd love to interpret this as some kind of a sign (that she's on board for a reunion). But I'm fairly certain she's just utterly smashed.
If SpiceGirlsNet reads this - I'm so sorry that your Twitter account has been suspended. :( It was one of my favourite Twitter accounts and I loved and appreciated the amount of effort you put into it daily. I truly hope it gets reinstated...

"It's some Spice Girls shit man": mentions in popular media

 

The title is of course from American Vandal (s02e06).

 

Let's compile a list of their cultural impact here, arrrr :arrr: :arrr:

^ Why has it been suspended though?

 

I got randomly suspended from Twitter. I suspect they have bots that might "catch" certain words/phrases, but it's faulty since it doesn't understand context.

 

Sounds fake but I hope they really recored something new at least two or three songs with the new GH and tour .

Thank you, Jay ^_^

Has anyone noticed quite a few of the SG Vevo video thumbnails have changed i.e. Wannabe, 2B1, SUYL and Viva Forever.

Oh yeh!

 

The change for Viva Forever's thumbnail is definitely a major improvement! I wish the Spice Up Your Life one was a shot of all of them, but at least it now shows a couple of the Spice Girls instead of a random extra lol. Wannabe's definitely didn't need changing, but oh well. :')

Victoria talking about how she felt during Return of the Spice Girls tour, in Vogue Australia:

 

‘I was with Elton John this weekend and I told him, “You’re the reason why I stopped the Spice Girls,”’ she explained. ‘I went to see him in Vegas in doing The Red Piano, where David LaChapelle curated the most incredible show with him, and I remember sitting there very near to the front and looking at him singing those songs he’d sung time after time, year after year, and his passion and his enjoyment was incredible, even after all that time. ‘And a few nights later, I was on stage at Madison Square Garden with the Spice Girls and I thought: “It’s almost like a waste that I’m given this opportunity. I appreciate the time I’ve had with the girls, but I don’t have what Elton can have after all these years.” ‘There was nothing there, other than that my kids were in the audience and I wanted them to see Mummy doing the Spice Girls.’

 

:( I suppose if the passion wasn't there for her any more then that's that, but it's a shame she ended up feeling that way.

The Overtones have covered Goodbye on their latest album:

You’ve also covered Aretha Franklin’s Say A Little Prayer and Spice Girls’ Goodbye – not the easiest of acts or songs to do justice to.

 

Lockie: “Goodbye was sort of the last song… it’s beautifully written and the chords are magnificent and I find myself listening to that one over and over and going, ‘oh it’s just such a nice difference hearing male vocals on it’.

 

https://www.entertainment-focus.com/music-s...f-timmy-matley/

 

What shines through on this album, and actually all of your albums, is that you don’t do the obvious. You switch things up and come up with interesting arrangements such as covering the Spice Girls…

 

Mark: It was Lockie that suggested that maybe we tackle Goodbye by the Spice Girls and our initial response was that we weren’t sure we’d get away with that. Like with every song on the album we get around the piano and we sing it with our producer Julian, just with the keys to see how it sounds. Straight away, just lyrically, it say everything we want to say and we’re not shying away from the fact that we’ve lost someone so precious to us and that’s what that song is about.

 

A lovely/poignant version :heart:
