This question is going around at the moment - and to be honest it often does since Gerita seemingly has stopped any chances of touring again.

This time, the question of a 3 piece reunion came up because of the announcement of a new Pussycat Dolls tour with only 3 members (whereas they used to be 7, then 5 now 3 lol)... In the past, various bands have done it with lesser members or even replacing some.

Westlife sold out massive stadiums across the wrodl with only three members, recently. So did Take That, Danity Kane (US girlband sold out an arena tour just last year!), etc.

The Spice Girls themselves, while a different type of band, sold out a massive Stadium Tour without the member that is arguably the most famous (and who got the biggest cheers and attention, by a clear mile, during their previous tour!)

Then, back in 2016 they were actually booked for Hyde Park and a potential tour after, as GEM! Without arguably their biggest member and the member that everyone says is 'the one that can sing'... that's f***ing wild. For a while, they were being taken seriously, back in the studio for new music and everything...

And this was before the massive nostalgia feeling that the world has for them, which only became more tangible with time. That's girlpower right there and show how much leverage them as a band can have still.

So let's consider this possibility.

Imagine that Gerita has said 'No More Spice Girls for me. Only re-editions of Spice and Spiceworld every 10 years and merchanside deals'.

Mel B, Emma and Mel C decide to give it a go. They go in the studio to make new music with some new producers like Mark Ronson (who said it himself he would do it!) and also a session or two with Biff.

They release an EP and then announce:

1. Headline gig at Hyde Park, with warm up acts like Flo, KATSEYE, etc

2. An Arena tour in the UK, USA, Canada and some key territories like Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Hell, take it to Poland and Scandinavia as well.

3. Alongside the tour, they do some big festivals across Europe. Primavera Sound (Barcelona), NOS Alive (Portugal), etc...

Then, depending on how it all goes, they could go back in the studio and do a proper album, and finish it all up with maybe a set of more shows and TV documentaries, etc.

Would you be up for this?

Only this set of three can actually do a Spice Girls tour, because all the key musical elements of the group are in. Any other combination of three wouldn't work. So yes, I'd be up for a tour, and new music. I don't see Victoria or Geri ever going back to the studio again.

I would love for Victoria to join for one last time but I’ll take just the three of them. Geri is a lost cause to me. She has caused so much damage to the band’s legacy that I no longer care if she’s in or not.

Did you see the video of her speech at the Commonwealth the other day? My god... she is so far gone

Life is short, so if three of them want to, then they should just go for it! Mel B, Melanie C and Emma could absolutely work as a trio.

I can't figure it out them as a trio but why not?!?

Still very Spicy looking if you ask me!

If Victoria actually wanted to do a reunion, I'd be shocked if Geri declined to be a part of that. So I very much doubt we'd ever see a reunion with Victoria but without Geri, even though it would be incredibly interesting to me to see that 1998-2000 line up back together again.

Without Victoria, I have my doubts about Geri being convinced to do more. I feel like that version of the 4 piece would have done something else before now, if their hearts were truly in it. It really seems that at some point, some or all of the girls went back to the "5 or nothing" mentality. Which up to now means that 'nothing' is winning, lol.

The 2016 GEM line up kind of feels like a fever dream that it was ever going to happen lol... but nevertheless it's a moment in Spice history when 3 of them thought that 3 was enough, even though nothing really came of it. It makes me wonder if Mel B and Emma have ever felt that way again in recent years. It would rely on Melanie C being open to that, but she took so long to even make peace with the concept that 4 was enough (I mean, it was her declining in 2016 to be a 4 piece that actually led to a brief 3 piece). Would she just point blank never consider 3?

What is funny is that GEM, as a 3-piece, back in 2016 when Spice nostaligia wasnt necessarily at its hight, did get BOOKED for Hyde Park headline gig (which is huge), were in talks to have a TV show around them (another thing that is huge) and were making music... Indeed, the idea of a 3-piece Spice seems to be mainly illusive in their own heads...

Mel C is the stumbling block to that, for sure. She has her own solo career going on and she is well known for NOT wanting to record new music with the Spice Girls, which from what we know as been one of the stumbling blocks of most reunions since the year 2000! She seems to want only nostalgia tours with all 5 or at least 4 or nothing else.

If Mel C would ever come around to the idea of a 3 piece with Emma and Mel C - SEEEMINGLY the 2 Spice Girls she is closest too!!! - then I think we could have really something worthwhile going on. But Mel is too focused on her solo music and she seems very much based in Australia right now. I don't see her coming around to the idea of actually focusing on committing to a 3-piece adventure.

Shame though. If there is a 3-piece that would work, it would be the two Mels and Emma.
