When Two Become One: Scary and Ginger Spice Were An Item Way Back When
 
You could say Mel B gave Geri what she really, really wanted.:lol:

Man, to be a fly on the wall for that scene. Mrowr.

Sumac 03-24-2019 04:39 PM

Lucky women.
That's all I have to say.

Leo656 03-24-2019 05:59 PM

My wife's pissed off because these "revelations" might derail the reunion tour. :lol:

They've had so many false-start "reunions" at this point that they'll have to have already done like a dozen shows before I'll believe it's a real thing.

Also, who ever thought we'd even be discussing the Spice Girls past 1998, let alone in 2019? Madness! If nothing else, if you asked me back then what we'd have to say about them Now, my money would've been on their failed porn careers and that's all.

Shows what I know. :lol:

Can someone explain the Spice Girls to me? Like, the whole thing.

Leo656 03-24-2019 07:54 PM

How's "The Musical Misadventures of Four Drag Queens and Their Anorexic Sidekick" grab ya? :lol:

To extrapolate further, they were basically just a pre-fab pop band created as a counter-balance to Backstreet Boys and N*Sync, while still catering towards the same built-in audience of young girls.

Tween and Teen girls, having provably the sh*ttiest taste in the entire population of humanity, took this as a legitimate "Girl Power!" rallying point, despite there really being nothing new, unique, or "empowering" about them at all. They still sold sex as a supplement to their sh*tty "music", and had zero autonomy since all the people managing and producing them were men. But they'd constantly yell "Girl Power!" and the kiddies lapped it up.

Two albums, a movie nobody saw, and then the hottest one ("Baby" Spice) got caught f"*cking their producer, and after that they all went their separate ways, only being talked about whenever rumors of a reunion start to bubble. Because even Sh*tty Nostalgia still has some value.

You didn't miss anything. Hope that helps.

The music kicks butts and the movie is amazing, nuff' said.

And if that isn't enough, they had their own non-Barbie dolls, that came packaged with a Spice Girls doll in a box for your doll. Made by the Micro Machines company, so you know it's legit

These hens have done nothing else for 20 years but try and squeeze another drop out of their 15 minutes.

I need a f*cking drink.

To help promote their 2019 tour of course. How else are they gonna get the publicity for their tour, when already there are music stars like Halsey, Ariana Grande, and Cardi B hogging the mainstream music media spotlight?

...The tone sounds eerily similar to CyberCubed defending his fandom/opinions of TMNT.

I don't think guy who faps on edgy comic book movies can talk about shittiest taste in the universe.:lol:

Aside from that your sexism is showing once more.
And if you REALLY are thinking all those countless N*Syncs were for people with extremely refined taste...boy, do I have news for you. :lol:

What's wrong with Spice Girls? And who are you to question people's taste guy-with-movie-sonic avatar :P

ZariusTwo 03-25-2019 06:58 AM

Never saw the movie, but I do own it. The soundtrack for it, "Too Much" is probably my second favourite of their whole set next to 2 Become 1

Spice Girls is very much an essential piece of one brit's 90s breakfast, right up there with Chris Evans, Chris Morris, Babylon Zoo, Otis the Aardvark and Live & Kicking.:)

Still remember the one edition of the latter where Mel B got to say "w*nker" live on air:lol:

I make a habit of listening to their music every Christmas Eve.

Andrew NDB 03-25-2019 11:08 AM

I used to rock out to Spice Girls... a little. It was on the playlist for a while. It's amazing how quick they were forgotten about/buried.

They remain national treasures in the UK, they even reunited for a performance at the 2012 Olympic Games

EDIT: Please allow me to play the world's smallest violin for the newly departed.

Man, your age really shows with this post. Sorry, but couldn't resist :P

In all seriousness now, I was born in 1990, so it's not like I remember their prime well either. I remember in 4th grade a few of my classmates liking them, though.

Whenever I heard of the Spice Girls after their break-up was due to one of them having married the footballer David Beckham.

Refractive Reflections 04-07-2019 04:12 PM

Well apparently I guess Mel B revealing the relationship, and Geri flatly denying it, has caused a rift in the group. As it is making Mel B seem like a liar and being publicly humiliated. And that any plans for a world tour has been scrapped. It's stated they are only doing the UK concerts because they are contractually obligated to do so, otherwise they wouldn't have.

...Of course, it could all be more PR attempts to get the fandom riled over missing out on the supposed world tour, and thus create a greater demand for the concerts.
