The Spice Girls’s Soufflé Just Wont Rise Twice!
Wasn’t it Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams who sang, ‘Guess its over, time to call it a day…..?’ Well that’s the advice The Spice Girls should take as they toddle off into the sunset and before they ever consider mounting another reunion tour for which there is no demand!
It’s a bit like trying to rekindle a ‘dead in the water’ relationship, the soufflé just wont rise twice!
But reunions seem the be the fashion lately, we have Take That with Gary Barlow and Mark Owen reuniting and, to their credit, pulling it off with great success and an album packed with new material. The Eagles got it back together in 2007 with their first new album since the 1980’s that is receiving plenty of air time and enjoying success. And then there’s The Spice Girls, with nothing but a sad old 2008 calendar and an album full of tracks that should never have been released nine years ago, never mind now, when the world has moved on. This certainly was one reunion too many!
With no demand for them to reunite the reason for their decision still remains a myth to most of us. Some gave them the benefit of the doubt, some told the truth and said they could never be the same. They were right. The aging 1990’s starlets were worse.
The reason for Victoria Beckham putting herself back out there cant possibly be anything to do with money, she has more money than God! But one would have thought by now that she must have reconciled herself to the fact that her music career was over long before it even began! Did the ‘stick thin wanna be’ not have enough on her plate with her attempts to establish some kind of career in Hollywood?
The other three have produced between them four kids and not a father or husband in site so a few million in the chequing account might help them through the next few years along with cheesy TV commercials and reality show appearances.
That’s real Girl Power!
Maybe they would have improved the concept of The Spice Girl reunion if they’d left their totally inappropriate names from the past, in the past.
Take Baby Spice! She is about as close to her baby weight as Rosie ODonnell is to winning the next Miss World pageant!
Posh Spice has demonstrated since the mid 1990’s that she is as Posh as Tupperware bowl at a Buckingham Palace garden party.
Scary Spice, well she has exceeded her past scariness with ever expanding hips and mouth!
Ginger Spice! Well what can be said about a woman who has attempted everything from a solo career, a goodwill ambassador for the UNFPA to Playboy cover girl, but with no success or longevity in anything she undertakes.
Melanie Chisholm, known as Mel C and Sporty Spice, is the only remaining Spice Girl with anything resembling a musical career and now she has probably completely jeopardized it and done more damage than good for her performing future. Her sporty days were definitely over on this tour as she shuffled around the stage looking distinctly disinterested in the proceedings and wishing she could just get home and get a grip on her rapidly disappearing career.
Hiding the most probable reason for the premature and abrupt end to their world tour as poor ticket sales, the flagging quartet have sited the reason as their need to return to their families who they were missing, (but in most photos beamed across the Internet they had their families firmly in tow).
Yep, it’s a given, they have no more style, talent, appeal or chance of making it in the world of music now than they did back in the 1990’s.
In the end they are just a posse of has beens with kids trying to look sexy and sassy but actually making the six guys from The Full Monty appear far more professional, attractive and talented.
