Spice Girls reform for Viva Forever launch
Geri Halliwell - then
6 of 11
Share this Gallery
As the most senior member of the group (she was unkindly dubbed 'Old Spice' in some quarters), Geri was seen as the leader in the early days. Her outrageous fashion sense (who could forget that Union Jack dress at the BRITs?) and outspoken nature garnered much publicity but also concealed the insecurity and depressive tendencies which would lead to her quitting the band at the height of their popularity in 1998.

Does anybody really give a damn?

YOU SEE WHAT WE DON,T HAVE ANYMORE,
IS PEOPLE WHO CAN ACTUALLY SING WITHOUT THE AID OF COMPUTER TRICKERY, AND SPECIALLY DESIGNED SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY AND RESISTORS AND CPU AND COMPUTER BOARDS AND SOFTWARE CORRECTING BADLY SUNG WORDS, I HAVE HEARED THESE ON STAGE ON A LIVE EVENT WHEN I TOOK MY DAUGHTER, AND WHEN I LOOKED AROUND PEOPLE LOOKED EMBARRASED TO BE THERE, IT SOUNDED AWFUL, IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW BADLY THESE GIRL AND BOY BANDS RELY ON COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO CORRECT THE RECORDING, BUT ON STAGE WITH BASIC POWERFUL AMPS AND SPEAKERS AND REALL INSTRUMENTS THESE BANDS ARE AWFUL.
REMEMBER ONLY A FEW CAN ACTUALLY SING BUT TO DO THAT YOU HAVE BE GOOD ON AN OPEN AIR STAGE OR CONCERT HALL, BUT WITHOUT ALL THAT EQUIPMENT IN COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE DOING IT FOR YOU OR MIMMING ON STAGE.

Please don't put us through this isn't the country in a bad way already.I think they should cancel the jubilee to save us all from the pain that they will put us through

oh for gods sake.....

Who on earth thought that a shining example of talentless mediocrity such as the Spice Girls should be involved in a national celebration? Their role in music history was to entertain little girls in the 1990's! Come on we can do better than that!
28/01/2012 22:21
Please please please cancel the whole show rather than let this load of rubbish "perform"
Didn't we suffer enough last time.
28/01/2012 21:23
I'll pay them to go away. Permanently!
28/01/2012 21:20
Dear o dear, is this the best we can come up with for the Queens Jubilee? What exactly are they going contribute? They can't sing only mine. They are TOO OLD. The only reason must be a small fortune and i bet us the tax payers are paying. Surely there must be much better entertainment than this!

"Damien Dawson come off it mate, people took to the street and tore the place apart because they'd had enough of the lame-arsed, over the hill, out of touch, pathetic greedy morons who claim they know how to run this country, and know what's best for the people of this country"
No they didn't. Maybe a few people had that motivation for it at the beggining but that wasn't the cause of the riots. Most of them were just opportunistic looters and thugs who wanted chaos as an excuse to be violent or to steal from people and shops. 98% were not doing it for any kind of principal or moral reasons.

The issue here is the dangerous impressions women caught up in the pressures and demands of being famous give to our children,,, it's not cool to starve your self ,fill your boobs with fake dangerous gloop to have ribs protruding and collar bones sticking out and legs so thin they look as though the could snap, when we look at images of emaciated survivors of the holocaust we ARE all horrified by this image, funny what designers, beauticians and hair stylists can do! give me Little Mix any day!!! I hope to God they don't become stuffy plastic barbie type women who are so self indulged in them selves to the point of what is in reality self harm in order to look good.

all I can say is WHY
28/01/2012 21:12
Anyhow wouldn't someone like Shirley Bassey have been more appropriate for the Queen's jubilee. Someone who the queen might have enjoyed more.
28/01/2012 18:20
OH NO PLEASE DON'T..........PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DO IT
28/01/2012 19:31
Does that scrawny bint EVER smile, about as much as she used to sing I reckon.
28/01/2012 18:20
Please no!!!!!!!
29/01/2012 11:18
NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE
Individually as singers they are useless.
Why not someone who can sing and although Susan Boyle isn't my cup of tea at least she can belt them out and seems to me to me to be more appropriate for this event than a bunch of talentless has beens.
David Beckham lying in hospital with a smashed leg and told he will never play football again. A geni appears and tells David he has 2 wishes.
'Fix this leg of mine so I can play football again' says David.
'Cant be done' said the geni 'the leg is feeked, 'so what's your other wish?
Teach my wife to sing so she can have a number 1 hit asks David.
David let's look at that leg again.

if you asked the queen if she wanted the spice girls back im sure she would say she would prefer a repeat of the 1977 jubilee with the sex pistols over these talentless has beens any day of the week. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
28/01/2012 19:43
Don't bother girls...
28/01/2012 23:35
Why not have Leona Lewis instead? She's fantastic and what British talent is all about instead of these five has-beens.
