isn't this, like, one of the signs of the apocolypse?

and it is written that five will come, from ten years in the past, where they shall again torment the world with hit after hit of meaningless rubbish containg the lyrics: Zig A Zig A

we are doomed!

As if ya'll dont love them, they rocked my world the first time, cant wait for this time.

Anyone who doesnt like them obviously cant appreciate REAL music

I'm going to go to the New York show.

You people make jokes, but I was dating and living with a girl in 2005/2006 who quite liked to fire up Spice Girls any time we had a party. Her and our roommate both loved them. This is a fucking epidemic that must be stopped.

So is beckham going back to united? He could have a gae-off with cristiano ronaldo for eternal possession of the number 7 shirt!

Mnementh · « **Reply #12 on:** 28 Jun 2007, 08:52 »

What makes you think I'm joking? Does my last.fm suggest that I'm joking?

I'm going to that New York show.

The third album was wank, but I'd be into seeing them live.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Jun 2007, 14:51 »

I actually kind of still think they are awesome. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor? It would be like seven year old Brittany's dream come true if they did a tour Justin/Christina style with New Kids on the Block.

0bsessions · « **Reply #16 on:** 28 Jun 2007, 14:56 »

I think Donnie's too busy playing standout roles like "Guy Who Shoots Bruce Willis" to do a reunion anytime soon.

Besides, New Kids are a full generation of garbage pop removed from the Spice Girls.

Of course this whole thing raises a question - WHY are the spice girls doing this reunion? At all? Surely they have enough money? Surely they've destroyed enough ears? Right? I'm absolutely baffled as to why they would ever pull this shit.

As an English man who grew up watching various comedy programs with Hugh Laurie in, it is positively surreal to see him speak with an american drawl as a doctor in a very popular drama series. "It's him...but it isn't him" I repeat to myself, staring at the TV.

Is it just me that is kind of not that bothered by the spice girls?

I would much rather hear cheesy 90's girl bands than listen to some of the crap on the radio today. Let's face it, the spice girls are miles better than folks like Lily Allen.

Anyway look on the bright side - At least they're not Steps.

Let's bring back the 80s, because back then mainstream bands fucking SHREDDED it up and rocked out. Like Whitesnake, and Motley Crue. They were so awesome. They could play instruments and stuff.

Shut up, that isn't even funny.

You have summoned them

And honestly, those that genuinely like their banal crap aside, I really have to assume that anyone defending the Spice Girls is basically suffering from a severe case of 90's nostalgia, because shit they were fucking awful. I don't feel comfortable saying they were worse than the modern equivalent, but I sure as hell cannot claim that they are in any way better.

At least we know that Lily Allen is a foul mouthed little whore, that shit sells records nowadays.

Horrible pop shit from (x) years ago is always 'better' than horrible pop shit from today because you don't hear it as often. It's easy to 'remember' the Spice Girls as bearable because honestly, who's actually listened to the Spice Girls in the last 8 years?

Hat · « **Reply #46 on:** 30 Jun 2007, 09:32 »

I work next door to a dance academy where little girls dance to sections of Spice Girls, S-Club 7 and Steps songs over and over again. I honest to god some days cannot get the words to "Boot scootin' baby" out of my head.

I agree. They are a triviality except for one thing which sort of intrigues me.

It's actually remarkable how successful they were. The marketing involved was genuinely superb. Usually with these pop groups they hire some decent songwriters and eventually they manage to release at least one single that most people can grudgingly accept is pretty good. Britney had a couple. Destiny's Child had quite a few. Even I'll admit that Justin Timberlake had a tune or two. It never happened with the Spice Girls. Furthermore, they looked sort of like a Bulldog chewing on a Bee. Thus, whoever was behind the group managed to shift millions of copies of something with no redeeming characteristics. That's truly incredible. Genuinely, astoundingly brilliant marketing.

GRRL POWER!!
