The Spice Girls (reuniting)

[Martin.]

One of their shows over here in England sold out in 38 seconds! 8O

[Laura]

38 seconds?? damn. i heard they are adding more shows in the UK though, so if you want tickets & didn't get a chance to get them keep checking for more dates on their site.

& the NY show got cancelled, but i think they are rescheduling more for that area. guess they weren't expecting so many people to get tickets.

I saw on GMTV this morning that everyone loved the first show in Vancouver.

Okay im going to type what I can remember before re-watching videos as Im just transferring them to my PC

-SUYL was an amazing opener! Lots of drum beats and echoes that intro'd the song. The girls came out from the floor and did the old choreography.
-Stop was the same as CIN performance.
- Say You'll Be there was fantastic....cant remember anything out of the ordinary.
- Headlines seemed half live although I couldnt completely tell
- Lady is a vamp was great. they were in black tuxedoes. great dance number.
- Too much was sped up.
- 2 become 1 started with them chatting about how a guy in the audience probably had a "big..........PERSONALITY?" ha. it was nice and sexy, they danced on stripper poles for it.
Solos:
Victoria Strutted to Like A Virgin
Mel B danced and rocked her heart out
Mel C got a great reaction. Beautiful light effects.
Emma's maybe was great....very much like her performances you've seen of it.
Geri's IRM got the best reaction. Definitely. Very dancey and energetic and I believe she sung it live.

Let love lead the way- dont remember it that much.
- Mama sung on the catwalk asked if there were Moms out there
Goodbye was beautiful and Geri sung in the chorus.
If U cant Dance was just a short 2 min performance of them dancing to only the chorus.
Wannabe was MASSIVE. JUST AMAZING.


Thats all i can remember right now I will post more later.

OOH and I did notice a lip syncing mistake where Victoria sang over Geri's album version lyrics during 2 become 1 (boys and girls look good together) They either played the wrong version or something went up.
Viva Forever was gorgeous. Period. Lots of fluffy feather fans.

Geri didnt sing on Holler or LLTW

OMG thanks for posting all of those videos! i can't watch them right now cuz i'm at work... but you're so effing lucky! ugh. my friend is going to see them this friday and i'm SO jeal of him.

[eclv]

I was never really a fan but it's cool their tour is doing so well. Not sure what sales were here but that Vancouver show was sold out to 16 thousand people and they sang/dances/lip sync'd? for 2 hours, so I heard.

Oh and Mel B should have won DWTS!!

[Laura]

The show is gonna be 2 hours?? heck yes! I'm seeing them tonight, I cannot wait! I downloaded most of the songs they are gonna sing since I lost my spice girl cd's ages ago lol & I still remember the words to almost all the songs. Man I cannot waittt to see them again, they were my very first concert when I was like 10 or something haha.

And Headlines is totally growing on me. I hated the new single at first, but now I love it.

Gosh I'm way too excited. I'm not reading any spoilers besides the setlist cuz I wanna be surprised.

[Laura]

Oh and Mel B should have won DWTS!!

I don't like Mel B for some reason. I kind of do, but she's probably my least favorite Spice Girl. And Marie Osmond so should have won, but I'm probably biased cuz I just became a fan of hers.

[iluvvanessa]

My friend in my bio class saw them, it was funny she came to school with the spice girlz shirt and ticket holder and like everything you can imagine spice girls on it, i loved it, i wish i couldve gone that wouldve been cool. i love them still. lol.

[Laura]

^man i didnt buy a shirt or anything if i wear one i would be laughed at haha.

Anyways, the concert was seriously incredible omg. & before the concert people in this one area were like freakin out so everyone borrowed my binoculars & we found out it was david beckham in the box seats, he was getting candy for his kids haha that was kinda cool. I also heard Tom & Katy were next to him, can't believe I didn't see them I suck at spotting celebs. Paula was there too, i'm so sad I didn't see her cuz she's my idol (please no drunk/drug comments leave it for another thread) & I heard she was taking pics with everyone but oh well i'm seeing her when she does jimmy kimmel next year so it's okay. Also Terri Hatcher was there I heard next to Paula but she wouldn't take a single picture, and switched seats when Paula sat down next to her what a bitch lol. That kinda disappoints me cuz i'm a Desperate Housewives fan & always thought she seemed nice.

I took a few videos of the concert, but my camera was being dumb and would only record like 17 seconds but i got a little bit of Wannabe, Stop & 2 becomes 1. I was all the way at the top so the videos kinda suck but at least you can kinda get a feel of what its gonna be like if your going.

and wow people went CRAZY when they sung Wannabe. Like seriously insane lol. and there wasnt an empty seat they were ALL filled at the staples center i couldn't believe how many people were there.

Mel C's solo "i turn to you" (not Christinas version her own song) was so awesome. it was almost like being at a club, had the purple & green strobe lights and wow that had to be my favorite besides all the classic spice girl songs of course. the show kinda reminded me of britneys onyx hotel tour a little bit.

anyways, here are the videos..everyones singing to Wannabe its so funny u can hear like the whole stadium haha
