Viva
forever! The Spice Girls are ready
to rock the world again with their
Reunion Tour |
It was more than a decade ago
since Emma Bunton, Mel Brown, Mel Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Geri
Halliwell rose to super star status as the “in your face”
British girl group “The Spice Girls.” Better known by their
hordes of fanatics around the globe as Baby, Scary, Sporty, Posh and
Ginger, the Spice Girls became a phenomenon that helped defined a
generation. Through their upbeat anthems, colorfully kitschy
costumes, and multimillion-dollar making image, which spawned
numerous albums, concerts, endorsements and even a movie, this
singing and dancing quintet pushed the epitome of “Girl Power.”
Much has changed since then and
the girls have since become women with separate lives of their own.
Since 2001, each member has since pursued solo careers with varying
degrees of success, while Posh Spice has become better known as
fashion icon Victoria Beckham.
Now the Girls are back in the
limelight as a complete group once again with the announcement of
their 2007 Spice Girls Reunion World Tour, which is being put
together by Simon Fuller, whose 19 company masterminded the
group’s global success more than a decade ago. They are expected
to perform in Vancouver, San Jose, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Las
Vegas, New York, London, Köln, Madrid, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong
Kong, Cape Town and Sydney during December and January. But with the
unprecedented demand for more “Girl Power,” the Spice Girls have
announced that they will be adding another special concert date for
the “Spice City” that gets the most votes as nominated on
group’s official website. Who knows, with the Filipino penchant
for coming together on the World Wide Web, would it be possible for
Manila to be dubbed “Spice City?” We’ll just have to wait and
see.
