Spice Girls - SpiceWorld 2019 Tour Thread

Random thought of the day: What exactly is it about Jess Glynne that turns us off? She’s very successful and serving big pop songs. In theory, we should absolutely love her but we just don’t. Why?
 
Also, I remember looking around me during this interlude at Wembley and everyone - including myself - was crying. One of those moments you’ll take with you forever.



This was a truly amazing moment, I was a complete mess when I watched this playing above my head at Wembley, and so was everyone around me.

I also love how it's always Mel B - the one you'd least expect - who manages to come through with the killer emotional words that just send you over the edge! Remember her epic message at the end of the Viva Forever documentary? Now this VT as well. Unpredictable queen. Her line about being the 18 year old Leeds girl with the afro is so amazing too.

And Mel C's message about making a really normal girl feel so special! <3
 
I’m sad the tour is over, even though I attended the Manchester show what feels like ages ago, I enjoyed knowing they were together, somewhere else, bringing that’s late 90s joy to thousands.
Also seeing the Walkers advert popping up on TV regularly, is this really all over now??
 
I've got nothing against Jess Glynne, I just see her more as a recording artist than a performer. Many of us have danced to her hits on a night out, but few have clamoured to see her live.

Saying that, I'd bet good money on me absolutely getting my life to her music when she's part of the lineup in a "sounds of the 2010s" nostalgia tour in a few decades time.

I don't know about other shows, but at the Manchester gigs she said "Now you sing!" about twice per song. While the songs were fantastic she didn't seem to really be into the performance. She just sort of sauntered around the stage with no real enthusiasm to the point where those constant "Now you sing!" moments came across like she couldn't even be bothered to sing.
 
She is stylistically so different to the Spice Girls - Jess very much represents how pop is done in 2019 (for good and bad) and the Spicies are just a completely different (better!) sensibility, of when there was more FUN in chart music.
I think having Jess there was a stroke of genius. The highs always feel that much higher when you've come from a low, and boy is she low.
 
Evenin, soooooooo. Very hard to put into words how last night felt for me and also for Matt the night before. I've been in a daze all day and just quietly swept the garden and did chores while hubby baked lol. So many moments that made me cry tears of joy and burst with pride. Im still processing it. Some beautiful moments back stage reminiscing and pinching ourselves and wishing it could happen all over again. A real highlight for me was the banter on stage. It was just the same 24yrs ago sitting in my tiny studio in East London and trust me still carries on back stage! I love them so much it hurts. Thanks for all the lovely comments on here its such a great site and Peter should be very proud. Now to stop gushing..... How amazing is that Sampa the Great single!!!!!! B x
Gotta quote you, sorry.
Just to say how thankful I am for all the work you did with the girls. I don't think you will ever realise the impact you had on so many of us as kids so thank you a million xx
 
Dont make me cry again lol. so kind thank you xxxxxxxxx
People can be so snobby about pop, but it unites us like nothing else. It must be life-affirming to see the positive impact your music continues to have on tens of thousands of people. I'm so glad you experienced that moment. Well deserved.

Plus you helped bring Spice Up Your Life into the world and I can't imagine not being 'Tribal Spaceman' now!
