7 years !!! Damn .

26th June 2012 - 6 years ago: Spice Girls reunite to announce their Viva Forever! musical

 

 

:o An exciting day (at the time it'd been a little over 4 years since they'd last been pictured together as a 5). I remember so much focus being on Victoria's perceived distance from the other girls.

28th June 2007 - 11 years ago: Spice Girls reunite and announce Return of the Spice Girls tour!

The excitement I felt on that day was immense - I spent it all online, on DenDen / reading news articles / watching news channels. :lol: The press conference. :wub:

 

It really seemed like it was never going to happen, with Melanie C being so adamantly against the idea of it. Thank goodness she had a (rather sudden) change of heart!

 

11 years on and I'm still not keen on Geri's dress. :kink: Melanie C looked the best!

 

Looking back, it's weird to think that it was only six and a half years between the end of the Forever era and that reunion. It felt like such a long time, but I suppose that's because I was so young (I was 12 when they went on hiatus, and 19 when they got back together). Six years doesn't feel like much to me any more. :kink: I mean we're not far from it being 6 years since they last performed together at the Olympics.

 

One more very " :drama: " thing that occurred to me - the 2007 reunion is now the half way point between the release of Wannabe, and the present day. In fact Wannabe to reunion was a slightly shorter period of time, approx 10 years and 50 weeks.

Mel C looked the best that night :wub:

No way has it been that long already :o I read the newspaper from a very young age so I remember those photos and the hype behind the reunion as clear as day. The annoying part is that I didn't get into the Spice Girls until 2008, aged 10, mere months after the tour ended... :cry: so I've always hoped that they'd reunite at least one more time after missing out. My parents did go to the Return of the Spice Girls tour though so I at least have their tickets in amongst my Spice collection :lol:

Wannabe was released 22 years ago today in the UK!

 

 

 

2 years since the disaster that was GEM :')

Wow

Who would have thought how their lives were going to change when it was released and how huge they would go on to become.

‘Viva Forever’ was released as a single 20 years ago today :wub:

Great song, still love it.

Best song ever! :wub:

Best song ever! :wub:

Their best song after the mega brill spice up your life.

Viva Forever was such a weird moment. A beautiful, haunting song featuring the now absent Geri. And such an eerie video.

 

And then it takes the UK No.1 spot, after the media-branded 'disappointment' of Stop going to No.2.

 

It seemed like it was over. Then, for a moment, Viva Forever suggested it wasn't... Until it all went quiet and eventually fizzled.

Happy Olympics Day! 6 years ago today! :yahoo: :w00t: :dance: :cheer: :D

 

:wub: What a magical performance! So exhilarating! Can't believe it's been 6 years since then.

Performance of the night... easily :wub:

I remember watching this at my sister's when we were having a barbecue. I saw nothing else of the Olympics but this I made sure I did! They totally rocked it :D

Today's date (5th September) marks 7 years since the UK release of Melanie C's fifth studio album 'The Sea'! :o

 

As a fan, 'The Sea' was game changer for me.

 

I was over the moon when this album arrived. Melanie really committed to a strong sound and I see it as a return to form. My faith was restored.

 

I'm sad for her that it wasn't as successful as it deserved to be. It should've made enough money to finance a big budget follow-up straight away.
