After the My Oh My release I checked this out, I really like it. Orville has a voice that is a nice contrast to Kylie, the chorus has a great melody, production is good. I've actually played it a few times since giving it a spin yesterday.

You cant help but laugh at how naff their social media posts are. That video is embarrassing.

Haven't ordered anything from the new merch, sad to say they have lost me. I totally know there is zero option to do anything as Geri is worse than Victoria now (Vic would do Glastonbury and let the documentary be released) and the other 3 are at ransom but I just cant find the effort to care anymore. Hopefully all their solo projects flop and this merch doesn't sell well as I would happily have them all bugger off for a few years and stop souring their legacy with shit group merch and awful solo projects.

Well this is annoying as hell. Too much effort to make it sound like what they think people want (CGYOOMH but more edgy) without actually focussing on making a good song.

It is also why we have had 489,109 different t-shirts because those casual fans who are mainly women will drop £20 on a t-shirt to wear at Claire's hen party or at a bottomless brunch for Sandra's birthday.

I think you have that the wrong way round. Kylie has the rabid hardcore fans who buy everything multiple times. As for the Spice Girls they are the ultimate casual GP fan band. You don't sell 700k concert tickets unless you can tap into a mass of casual fans who just want to see them in real life and relive their childhood. All those drunk women at SW19 aren't hanging on to any news or merch or buying Spiceworld25, but they will be there the moment they step on stage.

It sounds a mess but at least she is actually trying something different.

Kylie has never to my knowledge played stadiums in the UK, the Spice Girls did a 13 date stadium tour with a member down. Kylie also never stops performing so it isn't a OMG Kylie she hasn't performed in 13 years like it would be with a Spice Girls featuring Victoria. You are right though I doubt their egos will let it happen.

Oh they could headline no problem and it would be a massive success. What non current acts that headline Glastonbury need is 5 or 6 instantly recognisable sing-a-long songs that a drunken British crowd of 20 to 50 something year olds would know. Jay is right that it normally takes a couple of decades of releasing music to build up those 5 or 6 songs but Wannabe, 2 become 1, WDYTYA, Spice up your life, Stop and Mama are those songs. Each would have the crowd in full voice in a massive sing-a-long. Throw in some great visuals and costumes and the lure of seeing Posh Spice up actually on stage and it would be one of the biggest headliners ever.

Glastonbury is filled with artists now who a Melanie C doing a Spice Girls song with them would fit nicely and give them both more exposure. The gays would love a Sugababes x Melanie C duet doing say Viva Forever.

Looking forward to you being banned again Viodoo.

Let's be honest she could do every year as a guest for an artist as long as she performs a Spice Girls track.

How long till Voodoo gets banned again?

Perrie being #10 and #15 on airplay with two awful songs that have done rubbish on most other metrics is a slap in the face to so many artists that deserve more support than they get.

They didn't care how it sold or charted, more importantly the label didn't. Let's not forget the download was released a week before the GH, then the GH the next week, then the physical CD the week after. The physical CD also had no incentive to buy it when the GH cd with Headlines on it was already out. When you think also that Mel C liked Spice is back from the GH sessions that could have easily been a b-side. Simon and the girls only cared about the tour, the label only cared about the GH. I mean look at the US where they sacrificed a good (probably top 10 position) to exclusively shift 600k copies off to Victoria Secret. Might have made financial sense to get 600k copies sold up front but it means the album has a 90 something peak (I think it was 90 something) from finally getting released with the CD/DVD in shops that reported to soundscan in January, two months after being sold in VS.
