news flash: spice girls announce reunion tour!

like you're surprised. for the past week there have been constant reminders of the 'big announcement' from the spice girls and as expected, the fab five have admitted to an 12 city reunion tour, a new greatest hits package and a warts and all documentary about the spice girls story.

UPDATE 6/29 here is the reel that they showed at the press conference:


looking at the adult version of these girls makes me wonder if their teeny bopper muzac will work in this day and age (since the much sexed up, and more talented pussycat dolls, have modernized the whole 'girl power' idealogy). truth be told, just the idea of these ladies doing 'wannabe' is reason enough to go.

these are the cities announced:
Los Angeles - December 7
Las Vegas - December 8
New York City - December 11
London - December 15
Cologne - December 20
Madrid - December 23
Beijing - January 10
Hong Kong - January 12
Sydney - January 17
Cape Town - January 20
Puerto Rico - TBA 2007-2008
Buenos Aires - January 24


while we're on a memory kick, here are some highlights that i openly enjoyed in the past!

spice girls - 2 become 1 [link 2]
["cause tonight... is the night... when 2 become 1!" oh the joy! definitely my favorite spice girls song ever!]


spice girls - goodbye [link 2]
[another great song. gosh i forgot how many wonderful cheesy mid-tempo stuff they did!]


spice girls - viva forever (acoustic version) [link 2]
[can you just see the turmoil among the group? they couldn't even get together to make a video! the animated spices look like they are crazed, which wasn't too far from the truth.]


spice girls - spice up your life (live @ istanbul)
[something to look forward to for their upcoming tour. to me, the girls always seemed like a childrens tv show that crossed over into the mainstream. nothing better shows that than this sugar coated performance!]
