116,000 tweets per minute. That’s what the Spice Girls performance warranted during the London Olympics. That’s astronomical. People were really fired up to see the girls in action once again. Why? What is it about them that gets everyone so pumped?
I suppose it’s the ‘good clean fun’ aspect of their act. They were ‘cute’ in their day but now more closely resemble the PTA board of officers. Posh Victoria Beckham actually resembles a haggard shriveled tobacco leaf, emaciate and spray tanned its really gross. The others just old and out of the loop.
Cute outfits, good hair and makeup artists and enough distance makes them adorable and wit the ‘I tellya what I want what I reallyreally want” shtick- well there’s a cash cow ready to burst.
Mel C had to say about the idea to Digital Spy.
“I never ever thought we’d get back together, but we did in 2007/2008. I’m really glad we did because it was brilliant and I really enjoyed it,” she told the British entertainment and media news website. "There’s absolutely nothing to say we wouldn’t do it again at some point in the future.”
The Mirror didn’t seem to think a tour was too likely, writing “Um, Mel, we have one word that could be ‘a something’ – Posh.”
Metro also brought up Posh Spice (aka Victoria Beckham), noting that reports had suggested the singer almost didn’t agree to take part in the Closing Ceremony. RadarOnline claimed, according to one of its sources, that Posh initially said that her schedule was too packed “because of commitments with her fashion line and her duties of being a mother.”
I believe we have not seen the last of them. Posh is so thin no one would notice if she didn’t show up anyway. Perez Hilton (which is the dumbest pseudonym of all time) suggests a 1 week residency a Vegas hotel once every six months. I suggest we just dust the hags off for things like the Super Bowl halftime show or other events like that- really if they were that accessible they’d lose their appeal.
