Last night was just magical. There are no words to truly say how incredible it was and to experience. Seeing the four women who you grow up admiring, alongside 80,000 people singing along to every word (even Love Thing and Do It) is just exceptional and a credit to the power of Spice.
Managed to get myself a good position by the side of the catwalk (having seen the show from the Circle the previous two times, I wanted to get onto the other side for Too Much and by the time I arrived the middle part of the catwalk was building up already). As a band they were just flawless yet again, and have shown themselves to be (if we didn't already know this) to be legends. Legends in the field of music and pop. Mel B, yet again, just dominant the stage and is born to perform. She was captivating. You could truly see that Emma was having the time of her life too, living for every moment and living her best life. The world is a better place knowing that Baby Spice is very much still a thing.
Seeing Emma pop out at the beginning of Holler and clocking eyes with me as she waits for the life to rise was incredible and I was, just like I was when I was 6, in awe of how gorgeous she was.
I sobbed next to my mum throughout the entire of "Mama". There was a moment where I had my arms around my mum, seeing such an important band in my childhood, and I just lost it. The Spice Girls were a movement. A movement of acceptance. A movement of individuality. I grew up with such love and joy whenever I saw or heard them, confidently dancing on my staircase pretending I was in Wannabe, or being the only boy on the playground who had a Baby Spice doll.
The Spice Girls are so much more than a band and I'm so thankful for these last three weeks and being able to lose myself in Spice World once again, and still feel the same joy and admiration I felt all those years ago. I've danced in the rain to "Love Thing" with my bestie in Manchester, did the full routine of "Stop" with a friend who I have known since I was two in Coventry, and held my mum and cried during "Mama" at Wembley.
The Spice Girls, thank you. The world needs you and we need you.
Long may they reign!
