Aussie

It's all a guess. But yes, all countries and cities with venues large enough (such as stadiums) to fit a stage. 49 to 56 concerts across 6 continents. - Leg 1 (either: February/March/April 2023) 1A: Australia (4 to 6) - Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. 1B: Asia (2 to 4) - Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila. 1C: Africa (1 to 2) - Cape Town, Durban. 1D: South America (2 to 4) - Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janerio. - Leg 2 (either: May/June/July 2023) North America (18). - Leg 3 (either: July/August/September 2023) Europe, including the UK and Ireland (22). 2023 tour announcement prediction: Anytime between March and August 2022.

To update, for an international/world tour in 2023: firstly, to new territories: (Numbers refer to concerts) - Australia (up to 6). - Asia (2 to 4 - China/Hong Kong/Japan/Philippines?). - Africa (1 to 2 - South Africa - Cities: Cape Town/Durban?). - South America (2 to 4 - Argentina, Brazil - Cities: Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo or Rio de Janerio?). Then visits to established territories: - North America, (USA and Canada), 18. - Europe (including the UK and Ireland), 22.

Not to be biased, but I will have a guess at a 2023 international tour itinerary. If Australia is to be the 'first taxi cab off the rank' let's say: February or March. (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane.) Next, would be Asia (At least 2 concerts in February or March), followed by Europe - including the UK (estimated 22 concerts during the northern spring or summer). Followed by North America (estimated 18 concerts during the northern summer), then maybe a return to the UK (up to 10 concerts during early northern autumn).

Sales of which SG vinyl record has sold more copies, reminds me of the poll I posted on here, about which SG is each posters favourite. - From memory, Emma was the favourite among fans on here. Geri was the runner up. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...=221527&hl= Is Victoria any more popular in America than the others?

Surely a fan will upload the unreleased song: 'Shall We Say Goodbye Then?' to You Tube or Google, once the 25th anniversary double album is released on October 29. Without new music, photos, postcards/writing for 25, or 40/45 like ABBA, performers seem to be limited to what they can create for a new product. Other than computer generated video or visual effects, such as: animation, holograms, or avatars. No surprise, that if any new songs were produced in future, that the topic and content sung by singers aged in their 40s/middle age (about generativity and legacy), would be different to that of singers in their 20s (about intimacy).

Even with CDs now, it's hard to find devices now that can play them. Optical drives are being phased out of notebook computers and new and used cars. Of course vinyl records and cassettes are obsolete. Though a few retailers surprisingly now stock and sell record and cassette players. There should be an option for digital audio file/MP3 and JPEG photos to download.

Will the demo song: Shall We Say Goodbye Then? possibly also be released separately on pay to download music websites such as: mp3million and zdigital? AUD$56 for the 2 CD including international postage is a lot to pay, to listen to only 1 unheard song, that is less than 1 minute in duration. The other previously unreleased demo songs can be listened to online for free.

You do wonder when a future tour could be announced at the earliest.

Yes. One thing that may delay the resumption of live music and entertainment is event and tour organisers and promoters being denied insurance, because many insurers now will not include a pandemic as part of their cover.

Reports of Victoria considering reuniting with the others for future tour. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co....ls-22875314.amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/20...s-13457815/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ok.co.uk/c...on-22875795.amp

Russia's approval of a vaccine and having it injected into you, is like taking medication in a tablet or liquid syrup containing a mix of: beer, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, raw egg, oyster, and marmite mixed together.

Good point Piers. Even if and when live music and entertainment resumes, there may be rules by governments to: - Cap venue capacity at 70% or less. - To download and use bluetooth tracking software to phones in order to attend. - Groups and bands would be limited to essential members, a limit of support or assistant staff, and would need to hire crew living in countries they tour. - Groups and bands being tested before they leave their home destination and again when they arrive at an overseas tour location. - Groups and bands entering foreign countries to first undergo quarantine of 14 days, with access to a rehearsal studio. Could Melanie C expand a tour to other continents?

Which year was a proposed or intended international tour cancelled? How would they change their concerts for foreign audiences? (Only some songs, and other features?) If things don't improve enough by late this year or early next year, do you reckon 2022 could be a possibility for a tour?

An amateur sing-a-long choir (no auditions) in my city, has announced a date for one of their weekly sessions in August to be: Greatest Girl Groups. It's going to include sheet music by the Spice Girls. It hasn't been announced by the choir organisers which Spice Girls song they will choose. I have a hunch it may be Wannabe. I managed to buy a ticket. Only 32 are available online to buy in advance for a particular session (of a different topic), with 19 remaining before I bought one.

Wow, 73! I wasn't aware she had done that many. Even if all aren't written and created by her. The 'A Girl Like Me' album cover photo, shows Emma with freckles on her face. I thought she didn't have freckles there. Where did you get Emma's demo songs from?

Sorry, double post. (The original post was slow to send.)

America has a long way to go in suppressing and controlling COVID-19 cases there. You would think if very lucky, any international tour annoucement may be November or December at the earliest. You hope Trump gets booted out of office in November and leaves in mid January. Very uncertain times. America, Brazil, South Africa, and the UK are in the top 10 countries for the number of cases. Melburnians in Aus, are in lockdown for 6 weeks and have to wear face masks in public from Thursday. New cases interstate, have been recorded in Sydney.

Well, Victoria has a son named Brooklyn, and Mel B has a daughter named Phoenix. Could there one day be a Baby Bunton named after a location somewhere? Weren't both Victoria and Mel B in the early stages of pregnancy with their eldest children during the girls 1998 tour? Harry and Meghan announced they were expecting a child when they toured Aus in 2018, when much of the British media were absent.

"Stop right now thank you very much." Emma's consideration to have a third child puts future tour in jeopardy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail....-love-baby.html

New songs would be welcome. But would need: interest, confidence, motivation, resources, time and planning. - Would it meet their standards? But when you're in your 40s, focus tends to be about generativity versus stagnation. (Leaving a legacy opposed to experiencing alienation from relationships and the community.) In your 20s and 30s, the focus is usually on intimacy versus isolation. (Also applicable to friendships and relationships that are romantic.) Then there's types of love: lust, romance and attachment. Like the girls, their fans who are up to 15 to 20 years younger than them, are now in their 20s, 30s and 40s.

I wonder if the new documentary will be distributed and broadcast overseas next year? In the woods, you can get away from the media, papparazzi and be private. You would have to be a fox with ears perked up to hear what they were 'chin wagging' (talking) about.

No surprise, Victoria will not be involved with the apparent tour. She was paid more money with a share of earnings from last year's tour, than she earnt from her business. As long as she's happy though. I had wondered if she could design outfits for the others. Also, if there is to be a tour, have a travelling exhibition of the Spice Girls used clothes and other memorabilia. Show them on display in some museums where they tour the same countries. There was a Designing 007: Fifty years of Bond style exhibition during November 2013 to February 2014 at the Melbourne Museum. Are they still doing that animated movie (as super heros)? Or is their proposed movie or video project about four of them touring around the world on a bus or coach?

Yes. And one shire north of Melbourne. (I'm not in the state of Victoria.) All of the other states and territories have closed their borders with Victoria. (Where Melbourne is.) If there was a tour announcement in future, and crowds had to be capped at 70 per cent, would that necessarily mean a 30 per cent increase in ticket prices to cover tour expenses? The proposed plan from an alliance of tour promoters to the Federal Government, for a few American bands that are scheduled to tour Australia in February: # Essential band/group members only, and two support staff only, being tested for COVID-19 before leaving their country of residence and again on arrival in Australia. # 14 days quarantine at a compound with a rehearsal studio. # Hiring Australian tour staff and crew to replace a band's or group's usual tour team. # Fans must download the government's COVID-Safe app to attend the show/concert. (The app uses Bluetooth to track if anyone you have been in the same location as, has Coronavirus.) # Crowds to be capped at 70 per cent of total capacity and social distancing measures to be in place. Could a tour announcement and tour in the same year be possible? (February/March/April onwards)
