The Spice Girls 2.0
When I first heard the Spice Girls were coming back, I laughed.
I figured I'd easily get tickets to see them when they come to New York, and I'd have them all to myself. I'd bring all my 10-year-old merchandise that's been in a shoebox labeled "Spice Girls Memorabilia," and have them autograph it for me.
Here's how I figured: If I was 12 when I was obsessed with them 10 years ago, most 22 year olds are kinda over them. The new 12 year olds are too young to even have heard of them, and are busy running to see Miley Cyrus.
Boy, was I wrong.
Their six, count 'em SIX shows at MSG sold out rather quickly, so my hopes of seeing them are pretty much dashed.
I watched them perform on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and I am having trouble understanding one thing: Why "Stop"?? They've had so many great hits. "Stop" is certainly not one of them. It's one of my least favorite songs of theirs. Maybe "2 become 1" would have been more appropriate.
I wasn't able to see Posh Spice until she moved out from behind that pole.
Sporty Spice is more annoying than she was the first time.
Baby Spice...a British person told me Emma's a bitch in "real life," so I don't like her anymore.
I still love Ginger Spice. She's also a little too skinny.
I think Scary Spice isn't that scary anymore. She looks great, though. I think Dancing with the Stars changed her image (although I never watched it).
The best part is: I can put my Spice Girls CDs back into my CD player and not feel that foolish.
