If you’ve ever wanted to know how to really piss off a Spice Girl, a London newspaper learned that you should just ask them to sing for you.
They were as loud, proud and opinionated as ever.
In fact there was only one moment when the reunited Spice Girls didn’t have that much to say.
It was when the Daily Mail suggested they might like to sing a song.
Giving their best girl power glare, they refused to take the chance to silence claims that their voices are to be digitally enhanced at their concerts.
“We don’t need to prove anything. We have nothing to prove. Come and see the show if you want to see us sing,” they replied.
Then one added for good measure: “We don’t like your tie.”
Earlier this week, the Mail revealed the group would - as many other pop acts do - use a computerised system which kicks in to correct out-of-tune live singing.
But there were other subjects that also seemed to upset the feisty five at their press conference close to the 02 in Greenwich, South-East London.
Asked whether money had been the real driving force behind the decision to reunite, Geri Halliwell insisted: “It’s about celebrating the past and enjoying each other.
“It’s about our fans. It felt the right time. It was now or never.”
So people can expect to pay a bunch of money to watch has-beens lip-sync. Fun! Though I’d suggest that if they’re not going to really sing anyway, they at least do the audience the favor of playing someone else’s records and mouth the words to songs with some actual artistic merit. Maybe some Aretha Franklin? Oooh, or maybe some NWA.
Here are the Spice Girls doing what they do best: standing still.
