So, The Spice Girls Are Back. Perez Reviews Their "Comeback" Performance!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Geri Halliwell > Victoria Beckham > Mel B. > Melanie C. > Emma Bunton
The Spice Girls performed "live" for the first time in nearly ten years on Thursday.
The ladies were part of the Victoria's Secret fashion show at the Kodak Theater, which unfortunately, won't air on TV for about two weeks.
It was great to see Emma, Geri, Mel B., Victoria and Melanie C. together on stage again.
Overall, their two-song performance was good fun. We were, however, disappointed that they were totally lipsynching. Both songs.
The girls' first song was the best of their set. They did a spirited, lipsynched rendition of their classic Stop, dressed in a military theme and with some great male dancers.
After the ladies finished their first song they gave each other a big hug and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not too shabby - despite the lipsynching - for their first time out in years.
Their second song, current single Headlines, didn't fare as well. Though it was a ballad and required no dancing, they lipsynched this one as well. Unfortunately, they didn't have the boys or choreography to make this song as compelling.
They kinda just stood their in their gowns just pouting throughout the entire performance of Headlines - like mannequins.
Having said that, they did look AMAZING, although we don't think any of their outfits were made by Victoria's Secret.
If you are planning to go see the Spice Girls in concert, just go in expecting them to lipsynch. If they do, then you won't be disappointed. And if they actually sing live, then it will be a special treat!
Speaking of singing live, Seal sang live. He performed a couple of songs, one of which featured his wife and Victoria's Secret model Heidi Klum on vocals. And Heidi sang live too!
Heidi Freaking Klum can sing live and the Spice Girls can't????? WTF???
And Heidi sounded good!
Will.I.Am opened the show, singing/rapping live. He did two songs, including the booty-shaking Got It From Your Momma.
Will replaced Kanye, who pulled out of his performance after the passing of his mom.
The Brazilians dominated the runway once the lingerie show got under way. And, it was a very fun experience.
We're still excited about the Spice Girls tour, even if they lipsynch the entire show!
first!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I hope I'm 12th!!!

Firrrrrrrrrrrst!!!!!!!!! I've looking fwd to this for yearrrs! Even if they lipsync I don't give a fuck! I want videoooos! Picturesssssssssss! Nowwww!
go spice girls!!!
it's very common in the UK for acts to lipsync on tv shows.
plus they are in the middle of rehearsals. they dont need to strain their voices.
that's really disappointing about the spice girls. not that I was expecting much, but I was appreciating them being back together.. hearing they lip synched kinda kills that appreciation.
good for heidi and seal.. though I wouldn't expect anything less from them. heidi can do no wrong, as far as I am concerned. love her.
hi vanesa from peru i don't like HEADLINES
Ah, there's nothing impressive abotu this… they're lip-synching… didnt ashlee simpson get totally berated for doing the same thing? Fucking hacks.
THANK GOD THEY LIP-SYNCED… Tho Melanie C didnt need to,
I WAS AT THE VSFS AND IT WAS AMAZING AND SO WERE THE SPICE GIRLS!!!! I WISH KANYE HAD BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT!!!!!!!!
22nd
that really sucks that they lip-synched their way through the performance. i dont think its worth going to their concert if they're going to do that. id rather sit at home drinking listening to a CD…its the same shit.
Victoria is so talentless and ugly, God thanks she married a right guy to support her in her plastic and shopping endevours!
i still love the spice girls though!!!! whatever lipsynching or not… so long as they're no wasted crap such as lindsay or britnerzzzz spurss….
THEY SUCKED WAY BACK WHEN AND THEY SUCK NOW. TOTALLY OVERRATED. I AM AMAZED THAT ANYONE IS INTERESTED IS SEEING THEM LIVE OR IN SEEING THEM COMEBACK. BUNCH OF CUNTS IF YOU ASK ME.
EXCUSE ME? SINGING IS A SPECIAL TREAT? WTF PEREZ? I THOUGHT THEY WERE A MUSICAL, SINGING ACT… YES?
IF THEY DON'T SING ON THEIR "TOUR" THEN THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF NO-TALENT HACKS.
I heard the Spice Girls are going to do a full schlongo scene on their world tour where they are gonna Pole dance, and be Strippers as a part of their show… I might go catch their concert just to see THAT here in L.A. when they play Staples in December. Hell, it might change my solo routine. Stuff on the internet is that they been rehearsing at some well known Strip club in London taking lessons from Strippers. Hell, I even read they might get NUDE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhh… more Strippers… how many more Strippers??????????? Lots and lots of Strippers, and famous people stripping and being strippers lately………….. anyone else notice this sudden Craze with Strippers and Famous people? Paris Hilton was Pole dancing the other night at some big club in NY. Cool. I like this . a lot. They're gonna have like a guys entourage dancing with them too. WTF? Ok - that was all good til the guys had to be part of it. Perez? Perez likes that! Glad someone does..
25th
Perez, of COURSE they lip-synced! Do you honestly believe these women have EVER sang live? That they are more than eye candy?
Guys, the Spice Girls were so 90s. . . honestly. Plus it's $150 a ticket. Who in the world would pay such a huge amount of green to see talentless women. I'd rather watch a million Heidi Klum shows than a Spice Girls show.
Oh, who cares anymore. They are totally boring. Ms. whathername soccer wife should just give it up. Ugly hair alreally too. And that boring pout face. What is that??? For Chistsakes smiles once in a while. Life is short!
OMG!
RIPOFF!!!!! Hmmmm, I liken them to MILLI VANILLI!! It just goes to show you that they are NO TALENT HACKS. Vicky learned from the best… David Becklame!!! LOSERS!!! Anyone who spends money to see them 'not sing', I'll charge half the ticket price and I look a whole lot better.
Uhh obviously you know nothing about the Spice Girls because if you've seen their concerts you'd know they sing completely live. Know your facts before suggesting that people expect them to lipsynch.
Re: DAWN DAVENPORT – TOTALLY! WHORES ALL! EACH WORSE THAN THE OTHER. COMPARED TO THESE SNATCHES, SHITNEY LOOKS TALENTED! KISSES ALL AROUND THE TOWN, LEONA
Re: Brenda –
I am not even sure what you're talking about. Have you seen their live performances, especially Melanie C? Check the facts before you even open your mouth..
Not too shabby - despite the lipsynching - for their first time out in years.
FUCK YOU PEREZ!
Thanks Perez!!!!!!!
I love the Spice Girls ♥
HEY prezzz I was wondering DID Gisele Walk in the final show? AND KUDOS spice girls =)
They probably wanted things to look/sound good since it was a taped show for tv viewing. Also, Perez, if you knew what you were talking about you would know that the Spice Girls DO sing live at their concert. I saw them in concert, after Geri left, and all of the songs were sung live. I have no doubt they will be singing live when the concert starts. Do some fucking research before you slam someone!
Re: Sylvia –
Fuck you!
Perez I don't understand you. What WORLD do you live in.??? All them girl bands, Entertainers LIP SYNC..That is not NEWS dude. What you do is TREASH n BASH people who are trying to make a fucking living dude. Your blogg site is full of hate, never good things about celebrites..Always going for the JUGULAR with you. do you really want to see one of these Celebrity that you spend your days FUCKING UP..KILL THEMSELVES.? iS THAT YOUR GOAL.?? ..For the love of God please think that Celebrities have to make a living too, and your Hating, can cause some people to loose JOBS, Then half the time your WRONG. But too late for the person who you didnt even KNOW…Wow how sad is your life
I LOVE THE GIRLS… Can´t wait to see the pics… and performance…
COME ON PEOPLE… SPICE GIRLS WILL ALWAYS RULES!
We have to admit that… 90's music was so much better than now… hip hop and rap all the time on the radio… come on, the Spice Girls really knew how to do GREAT POP MUSIC! I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE HEADLINES!
SPICE GIRLS FOREVER!
When did lipsynching become acceptable as a "performance"..who wants to pay 60 dollars to watch a bunch of over-the-hill ladies that maybe if we are lucky might actually sing live..I say boycott this nonsense
and… COME ON! TICKETS FOR SPICE GIRLS CONCERTS ARE SOLD OUT!
EVERYBODY LOVE THEM!
SPICE GIRLS FOREVER!!! SHE'S THE BEST!!!!
HEY YOU MORONS !!! THEY ARE LIPSYNCING. IT'S ALL COMPUTER GENERATED. THEY HAVE NO TALENT. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. IF YOU CONTINUE TO ACCEPT THIS CRAP FOR MUSIC, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY MORE GREAT MUSIC. DON'T YOU GET IT!!! AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love this girls!!
Please…pictures??!!
they are in it for the very big money,which incidently,none of them really needs…..
The spice girls were lipsynching, tell me youre not surprised . None ofthem can sing worth a crap . I expect Mrs Beckham was doing some 'major' posing on stage. Cant believe people are paying lotsof money to see this garbage
Screw the spice girls, I wanna hear about the fashion show!!!! DETAILS MISTER-SISTER!!!!
SPICE GIRLS RULES!
How about you all stop arguing about something as stupid as this and go get lives? You too Perez.
Oh, wait, I love this website too much to get a life!
Re: Brenda – HEY BRENDA, YOU STUPID WHORE. THE SPICE GIRLS SANG LIVE AT EVERY SHOW DURING THEIR 103 DATE 1998 WORLD TOUR
Re: sally – FUCK YOU SALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE YOU STUPID ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT SLUT! KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU YOU PIECE OF FILTH!!!!!!!! FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I'm sooo freaking excited! I absolutely love the Spice Girls!
Any act that lip syncs for an audience, usually after charging an insane ticket price, is a complete no-talent fraud. Stay home and enjoy the over-produced disc. Save your money for a concert with real talent.
WHAT DO I GET???? #59!!!! i figured it must be a big deal since all these idiots are posting "#1" all the time. I'm not #1, i'm #59…something DIFFERENT FOR A FUCKING CHANGE!!!
you're so fucking full of shit Perez. you sit there and go through all of that for ppl who LIPSYNCH. they are not singers if they have to LIPSYNCH WHEN WILL YOU GET IT DUDE?????
THESE STUPID WHORES HAVE NO TALENT… THERE'S NO POINT GOING TO A SHOW WHERE THE PERFORMERS DON'T SING FOR REAL.. THEY SOUND DECENT ON CD BECAUSE STUDIO TOOLS FIX THEIR TONE DEAF PITCH.. THEY ARE JUST A PRODUCT.. THEY FUCKING SUCK.. SO BAD
the key word is LIP SYNCHING
that suck…..they are cunts…all fake…nothing real about them….they cant sing and all they can do is ass fuck like you perez…fucking douchebags for buying their shit…they are fucking smelly old cunts…no talents
that's a sham…i mean shame.
Dare I say, i pray to my lord and savior the sweet baby Jesus that the tour bus crashes and the world is left a better and spiceless place.
The spice girls are the shit they can lipsync cuz they are the queens of Pop whether there new stuff is bad or good Its the spice girlsl come on ppl
They had no talent the first time around. Did you think they were going to improve with age, like fine wine? Who would pay to watch those dried up vaginas prance around on stage?
dang. that sux that they lip sang even for a ballad…..Perez, remind us when this will be on tv! I wanna see….
I think they killed Donda because her name was "Donda"!!!!!!!!!
what kinda fucking name was Donda anyway?????????????????
It burns when I pee. Thanks Posh.
"They just stood their in their gowns"… UHH, HELLO YOU NON EDUCATED FAT FUCK! Take an English class!
is it just me, or does sporty spice look like a fucking retarded man?
what i don't understand is how any performance that is lipsynced can be a "good" performance? i think "singers" who do that are a joke, bottom line.
I don't care, I have my tickets already.
Re: Lina –
why thank you
Find some good music to listen to while you clean out that filthy mouth. Orbitz works lol
D.I.V.A.S !!!
Ohh.. they could do live… mleanie c & emma always sing live on tv!!!
I dont know for what they did playback.. but its good anyway!
Re: Manuel – T.W.A.T.S !!!
to the person who said its common for acts to lipsynch in the UK - that utter bullshit lmao
only acts who cant sing do that - its not common in he UK at all!!!
Lip-synching is ALWAYS shabby.
that's a bull shit post!! I'm sitting in the audience right now and the show hasn't even started yet. WTF! when did u write/ review the show when I'm sitting here live and they are 10 minutes away from beginning!
first off i would like everyone to notice the double standard here. yes I am both a britney spears fan and spice girls fan. does anyone remember when britney came back and did her house of blues tour…and lipsynched…and perez bashed her for doing so even though she looked great. here, the spice girls, who we all know can sing, lipsynched and perez loves it.
just pointing that simple fact out. if anyone is gonna lip synch it should be because they have horrible voices and its a lip synching contest not just to lip synch. and so people dont argue with me i was def upset that britney lip synched and I am even more upset that the spice girls did because we all know the spice girls are better off than britney.
Pathetic, over the hill, plastic SKANKS!
Fuck, I would rather eat a bullet than see fkin spice whores. Are you fukkin kidding me? I want to find the retard that gave them money and strangle him for not giving out 100 record deals to actual artists instead..
What a fucked up world.. DIE SKANKS!
OH HELLO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE IN T.V. LAND. CHEERIE-O-PIP-PIP!
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DIDNT GET INVITED TO THE AFTER PARTY….
I want Becks to sit on my face with his hot hairy man ass.
I was at the show and backstage, and met Victoria. She reeked of cigarettes, and was obviously very nervous, but she was very sweet and had a very offbeat sense of sophisticated humor that I did not expect from her. Scary Spice (forget her name) seemed to be in her own little world and talked on her cell phone the whole time. Ginger and Baby were bubbly as ever, and the Sport one was in her dressing room the whole time.
It's fair to assume all music bands, especially those who dance about and are obviously "off mic", lip-sing. Young people today accept mediocrity - even their movies are all just computer generated comic books. As such, true talent is kept off the stages and screen. Just accept whatever Wall Street sells you. Your "artists" are all just corporate spokespeople who need sound technicians to make them heard. As such, blaming Britney for the moral decay of young women is like blaming Ronald McDonald because you've got a fat ass.
It is so strange how this site always bashes mainstream acts…always so negative.
W00H!!
spice girls..
aww.. shame they lip synched… (h0w eva u spell it)
buh yer.. ii l0ved them in the 90's
x0×0
Re: Horny Gay Guy – THAT SOUNDS HOTTTTTTT!
The Spice Girls? WTF? Aren't the 8th Grade Girls that worshipped them 10 years ago all grown up? Who cares about them? I barely remember them.
Why are you referring to yourself in the first-person plural, Mario. It's not "we," it's just "I" and your pointless opinion.
It makes you sound desperate.
The Spice Girls sang live on their last (and only other) world tour, so hopefully they'll sing live again on this one.
Re: Horny Gay Guy –
Becks aint got no man ass.
Re: Paully boi –
Queens of Pop????? No way dude.
Re: Vaginalina Jolie – DAHLING, I THOUGHT YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME TO…T R A N S G E L I N A ! Kisses all around the town, LEONA
did anyone hear the rumor of travis barker's death??
Lastttt!!!
I love spice girls´n i want te video lol
100????
thats hott
Why on earth didn't they sing live??? That ruined it. I've just seen a clip on tv and they looked great but wtf!
From what I've heard, they always sing their songs live in concert, but not so much on tv….it was common practice in the 90's for UK acts to lip-synch
but hey…who cares….the SPICE GIRLS are BACK!!!
