I was about 3 or 4 during the global reign of The Spice Girls. Some commercial TV network was cashing in on their domination by airing their concert. I remember being really excited, jumping up and down and proclaiming rather loudly that I was Baby Spice. I was a quiet a fan of them as child, and in fact I'm still am.
It's hard to believe that was more than fifteen years ago. Now a distant image. I vaguely remember singing and dancing along to 'Stop' and 'Wannabe'. I don't know how much of the concert I had seen but my dad was getting on my nerves, singing over The Spice Girls and blocking my view of the screen. I decided enough was enough. I got into the crane position and kicked him in the balls. Yes, I kicked him just like Danny LaRusso did to Johnny. I would have made the Spice Girls proud, just like Mr Miyagi after that kick.
The careers and lives of each of the members of the girl band have been widely publicised. Regardless of the controversies and "in-fighting" tabloides gossip and suggest, I'm sure fans would be prepared to shell out whatever cash they've got to see them. They are apparently set to tour Australia in 2014, after cancelling the Australian leg of their 2008 reunion tour, much to the bitter disappointment of fans. This would probably be follow by the musical 'Viva Forever', written by Jennifer Saunders inspired by their timeless hits.
If you were wondering whether I'd be one of these fools ready to give all my coin, you guessed right. But we'll have to wait for more solid information in the coming months.
