what is there to say - if you like the idea of the concert go and enjoy. If you don't stay at home. There were those saying the same about Mozart when he was a performing artist - how many comebacks would he have made if he had not died young

I used to be a huge fan of S.G. But now i am not really interested in them? Hmmm... But they still rock as other say!! Good for them :))

I saw the show in San Jose, CA last night! They were fabulous! The crowd was on their feet the whole time, tears were shed during Mama and the fan celebration ortion of the show with songs like, "we are family", Celebrate good times", showed how much fun they're having with this tour. I'm glad they're back! The exceeded my expectations. GIRL POWER!

i think these girls have a lot of guts to do what they did. they shouldn't get so much critism. it's true what a few people have said here, if you don't like the spice girls then just look the other way. there is no reason to force yourself to look at somthing you don't want to look at. one thing is for sure, many spice girl fans will love their come back, and i don't think it matters why they have come back. this is the world of entertainment isn't it? and the spice girls are simply doing their job and providing entertainment and giving newspapers and critics something to talk about.

amazing, but im sure the press will find spmthing to critisis. i thought they pulled it off big time. they changed british music, and still remain the queens of pop. good on u girls

They are not Girls. They are middle aged women.

'nuff said

Wendy Lamb, bergerac,

I'm so excited to see them together again!
They have been so inspirational and I live them since 1996!
I never thought they would got together to end this chapter! I'm feeling really enthusiastic looking at the videos and the pictures! They look as fresh and good as 10 years ago!
I'm going to see them in London on january!

matt, Florence, Italy

They never were any good!

The only member of the Spice girls with any talent was their manager/publicist (and he was a genius!), but they made the crucial error of sacking him!

I find it interesting that on these threads , there is always some poster that is acutely offended that anyone dare insult the Spice Girls or Celine Dion.

You can insult George Bush, Tony Blair, Conrad Black, etc., etc., but its hands off on the real sacred cows.

Conrad Black may have embezzled $3 million from some shareholders years ago; the Spice Girls took ten of millions from a bunch of teenagers last night in Canada.

Only one may be going to jail for their actions.

I saw these girls on TV when they were new and fresh and I thought they were refreshing and fun. Now they are neither. It´s just a callous attempt (by media manipulators) to make some easy money using professionals (dancers, musicians etc) to make them look half decent. And that is all they are. But very sad too to see these limited girls jumping around ´thinking´that the world wants another dose. It doesn´t. Go home, put your feet up and count your money. Or, better still, donate some to worthy causes and gain some dignity.

I have to say I was a bit shocked when I heard the Spice Girls were doing a reunion tour, but I am very thrilled about it. These women have been an inspiration to tons of people. For those of us who have enjoyed them in the past, this is a celebration to see them come back and give a final farewell. I am very much looking forward to seeing them perform. And to those of you with negative comments, if you don't like the Spice Girls you don't have to go see them perform, you don't even have to read the news written about them, and you don't have waste your time writing a response to it. It's a simple as that. Take your negativity somewhere else, because for the tons of people excited to see them you don't matter.

The triumph of marketing over sense again.
They were dreadful first time round, so no reason to believe they'll be any better now.
They have no talent for anything except shameless self-promotion.
The only thing I admire about them is their brass neck for daring to think they can sing in the first place.
I can't even see the point of going to the concert to review it - it can't be anything but rubbish.
Just goes to show it's impossible to underestimate the stupidity and gullibility of mankind.

Geoff, Pontefract, Europe

To J Wilkes, any chance of an objective review from someone who is an arrogant cynic? Your review was just as objective as the one above. It's a review of a concert, how objective can you get?

To Susan Baily, not sure why you went to the show in the first place. You were probably deluding yourself if you paid $70-$120+ for a concert that whose music you didn't know/enjoy in the first place.

Alex, Overland Park, KS, USA

There seem to be tickets available on every website I have looked at.

Hmm. Wonder why that is?

Annie, Bath, UK

Any chance of an objective review from someone who is not a fawning sycophant?

And however much those outfits cost they've been had - Mel C's tracksuit looks like it came from Primark, Victoria Beckham looks like a particularly misery oven-ready turkey and Emma Bunton's dress must have been left over from whichever Panto she graced last year.

Another pop comeback from people who should never have arrived in the first place. Their pension funds must have taken a dip in the last few years. Maybe they'll donate their profits to the Police Forces who spend their weekends clearing up the messes caused by the whole generation who think that being loud and shouty and stupid is an acceptable way to be. Girl Power indeed.

J.Wilkes, Gloucester,

Well done the Spice Girls, proving once again why they are the best girl band ever. I love them all.

D Case, Newquay,

I cannot believe that the reviewer was at the same show as me. They were awful! The only great thing about the show was the backing music and the effort put in by stage designers and dancers. The girls cannot sing. It was all glam but no real talent. If you want vocal talent, then this is not the show for you. If you want a colourful diversion, then go. But I won't be cheated again. Sorry Spice Girls, but you really are rubbish!

Susan Bailey, Vancouver,

They may not be the most talented or as young as they were but they take a lot of stick and still have the guts to get back on stage.

They played 22 songs, which is way more than most concerts i've been to, so you get your monies worth and afterall if you dont like them and dont think they are worth it,

guess what ......dont buy at ticket

paul, london,

Too bad that Vancouver didn't insult them, and scare them off like Halifax did to Celine Dion.

Some teenagers paid upto $550 CDN for a ticket... during a credit crunch?

The Western world has truly gone insane!
