10 Things About The Spice Girls’ London Gig

• They brought all their kiddies on stage at the end. Well, Mel C didn’t, obviously, because she doesn’t have any. Although she does have a Lexus RX400h because she was on the telly with Vicki B-H. And Geri didn’t have her kids either, I think. But Emma and Mel B had tiny ones with big green ear defenders. And Mel B had a larger one too. And Victoria had three famous ones, in “Posh” T-shirts. The smallest one cried.
• That Mel B, blimey, she’s been working out. How do they get to look that fit after just having had a baby?
• The sound at the O2 is absolutely terrible. I’ve never been to a gig where there’s audibly so much electronic wizardry working on the sound, but even that couldn’t compensate. If you didn’t know the songs so well, it would have been awful.
• That Emma, blimey, she doesn’t get any less cute, does she?
• They might all be at each others’ throats, in a competitive way, but they still have a good sense of humour. Whereas the four who’ve made a go at solo musical careers all got a solo number from their solo back catalogue, Victoria just did a walk down the catwalk in big sunglasses. Amusingly.
• That Mel C, blimey, she looked from all the pre-gig publicity photos like she’s easily scrubbed up the best of the lot of ‘em, didn’t she?. But no matter if Roberto Cavalli’s designed them, a tracksuit’s a tracksuit, and you looked a bit chavvy on the night, love. Sorry.
• Fantastic staging and production throughout the gig. The Award for Best Use Of Hydraulic Lifting Gear goes to whoever designed it all (no, not to Victoria’s bra manufacturer)
• That Geri, blimey, she’s still got it, eh? Never been much of a Ginger Spice man, meself, but talk about a late surge up the table. Gawdblessyermaam, and no mistake.
• Mel C could always sing the best, and carried the whole band. Nothing’s changed there, except Mel B’s shouting has become a lot more tuneful and it’s now a two-girl show. Emma can’t compete in a group format, but does some nice stuff on her own. If Geri ever had it, she’s lost it now. And Victoria never could sing, and still can’t, but they know that, and hardly give her a chance. Although whenever she opened her mouth, the entire venue erupted in screaming (the adoring type, not the horror type) which was kind of creepy. Why?
• That Victoria, blimey, she’s a strange looking creation, isn’t she? Like two lollipops sellotaped together with a head on top. Not attractive at all, yet strangely you can’t take your eyes off her.

I enjoyed it. (Photos)
