Moody Spice!

All grown up: Is that a smile Victoria?

Last week saw fans rejoice after the Spice Girls reunited for the press launch of their new musical, Viva Forever. Journalists and other important looking people with clipboards gathered in the St Pancreas Hotel (where if you’re a true fan you would know that this was the setting for their very first song Wannabe) where all five of the girls gathered together first time in ages to talk about their brand new venture. It should have been a momentous and happy occasion with lots of smiles and air kisses, but there seemed to be one problem- Victoria Beckham!

Yes, as ever posh spice stood there as if she simultaneously had a gun to her head, was chewing a wasp and had a rather uncomfortable wedgie! Now I know that her pout has become her trademark and when she’s showing off her latest designs to the fashion elite a scowl is acceptable, but when it comes to the fans, she could have at least flashed a smile! I mean, just a tiny one! And before you go on about how I hate on Victoria, I’ll have you know that she (as well as Emma) was my favourite Spice Girl! But over the years, as I’ve grown up I’ve realised that Victoria doesn’t seem to be grateful to the people who made her who she was in the first place. 

Back in the glory days

Take the Spice Girls reunion back in 2007. I along with countless others was super excited to see my favourite girl band back together and I spent my hard-earned cash to go and see them in concert. I was having such a great time singing along to all the old classics, but when it came to the solo stuff I was a bit disappointed. All the other girls sang one of their individual hits (actually Mel B did a Lenny Kravitz cover, but you get my drift), apart from Victoria. Instead Victoria put on her famous pout and strutted down a mock runway amidst a crowd of ‘papz’ and then disappeared off stage! It was literally a blink and you’ll miss it moment. It was such a disappointment. Now I know she’s not the greatest of singers and she knows this too, but on the other hand we know that Geri isn’t particularly talented in that area, but she still took the bull by the horn and belted out a lively version of her hit ‘Look at me.’ Oh how I wished posh had had the guts to get up on that stage and sing a solo track, ‘Out of your mind’ perhaps? I’m pretty sure that Dane Bowers would have jumped at the chance to crawl out of the woodwork and mime along to that track again!

We all know that Victoria is now known for her fashion, and what a sterling job she is doing of that. But she must realise that the Spice Girls is in her roots, and as much as she tries to forget, we never will! It wouldn’t have taken much to join in with the banter and joke along with the other girls- basically look like you wanted to be there! And what a let down that she never stayed and was whisked away within minutes of getting off the stage. Let’s just hope she cheers up in time for the musical’s launch at the end of the year. 

So come on Vic, who do you think you are? Don’t say you’ll be there and then act like you don’t wannabe a part of it! You’ve got to stop with this attitude or you’ll be making headlines for the wrong reasons! Is that too much to ask? You just need to holler at your girls, they’ll spice up your life and make you happy again! So say goodbye to those blues and remember, viva forever! 

And for your viewing and listening pleasure, here is my fave Spice Girls song- Say you'll be there. Enjoy! xxx
