So, The Spice Girls Are Back. Perez Reviews Their "Comeback" Performance!
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!
Sued!
Re: Sarah –
fuck the Spice Girls and what about Travis Barker???
"Their two-song [lip-synched] performance was good fun"?? I can finish my average shit in the time it takes to serve up a two-song performance–and it's equally malodorous.
I don't believe u fat boy. I bet they sang live but with the backing tape on. Madonna does that too.
They totally won't lip sync for their world tour. They didn't on the last tour so I don't think they will now! Besides, in the reviews I've been reading they've actually been doing vocal rehersals. So I DOUBT they'll be lip syncing. THEY'RE TOO GOOD FOR THAT!
Is VB wearing a top that we have already seen before? I can't belive it! Not only that, she is still trying to pull of the Posh Pout there she really needs to relax! Sorry, fans. I think the Spice Girls are OVER. Not impressed.
Perez stop oinking!
Why do u lie all the time.
I'm telling you they must have sung live with backing track to help them with the dance routines (that's normal unless you're elton john and you sit on ur fat ass all day).
Re: {{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}} –
who the fuck is travis….so wot if he fuckked off the planet.
Re: crystal – PEREZ ISN'T JESUS !!!PEREZ DOESN'T WORK FOR FUCKING CNN!! HE CAN SHOW SPECIAL TREATMENT TO WHOEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS. *HIS* WEBSITE NOT YOURS!!!!!!
Perez, hello from the land down under!
They did lipsynch on their world tour last time, so I doubt they'll do it on this one.
real artists sing without any help, but we are talking about a bunch of plastics right. what do you expect, brit level is what i expect.
Can't wait for the tour so my inner loser can see my heroes.
Hi every one i think that the spice girls lookt very good and i can´t belive that they are singing again i love the spice girls they sing great and dress great and i think that they have come a long way now and just whant to on stage again and be wiht there fans to amd now they are doing a spce grils tour aswell as giving a greaist hits album out with all of there songs and to new songs aswell and i love the video of the song headlines i know that some did not like it much but i loved it very much
GUYSS HAVE U EVER HEARD THE SPICE GIRLS SINGING LIVE????? PLEASE DONT TALK!!!!!! THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN SHEET "ARTIST" (GIMME GIMME MORE…..) AT LEAST ON STAGE THEY WERE SANE;)))))
The spice girls CAN sing live, they could ten yrs ago and now they are all far better than they were. I cant understand why they lipsynched both performances. but i love them!
SPICE GIRLS WILL SING LIVE IN THEIR CONCERTS COS THEY ALWAYS HAVE IN THE PAST TOURS!
when ashley simpson got caught lipsynching, her career pretty much ended (probably more out of embarassment cuz America appears to be a very forgiving country when it comes to celebs). when britney lipsynched at the VMAs, well, look what was said about her. how come it's okay for the spice girls to lipsynch even though it's been forever since they performed live, but when britney does it for the same reason, she gets ripped apart?
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Sooo wanted the info on something I couldn't be there to see!
huuge fan of the Spice Girls.no let me rephraze that. (huge fan of Melanie c)
I didnt expect them to actually sing LIVE!they should of though ,their voices are good
caant wait till the London showww!! woohoo
People paid lots of money to hear them sing and they are going to lip-sync!?! What a joke. If I bought a ticket I would be PISSED. The Spice Girls are as talentless as Britney. I would never pay to see a performer lip-sync their songs. If you bought tickets for any of the Spice Girls shows then its time to dump them on eBay.
they lipsynch there, so what? we all know that they can sing live, and im sure their tour will be live. maybethey save their powers for tour. its not a big deal that they lipsynch on this Victoria Secrets show, who cares! they looks really amazing!
i would much rather see will.i.am than west anyday. i think if it was a VS show they should have sang lady is a tramp… love that song
awsome!there gonna do fabulous at there tour
they still r0ck my w0rld!!!
even they d0 lipsynch they still r0ck!
oNLY LITTLE GIRLS AND QUEER MEN LIKE THESE NO TALENTED SKANKS SO I'M SURE EVERY FAG IN THE COUNTRY WILL BY A TICKET TO WATCH THEM LIP SNYC.
why is it ok if they lipsync and nobody else????? WTF Perez???? U R A HYPOCRITE!!!
Whats the point of going to see these people if they lip-sync?
I dont get it, Whats the point of going to see these people if they lip-sync?
i tdont think thry lipsync it all. ive seen them live before on their tour and they might use some back trax. and this time around their the frist to use new mics that will auto tune them.
well perez, don't you feel like an asshole for ripping on Heidi's duet with Seal, 1) wtihout even listening to it first and 2) finding out if she really had any singing ability. Now apologize you fat asshole.
i love geri, she is muy guapaaaaa
they actually sing live at all of their concerts but usually mime tv performances.
Are people getting pissed because the Spice Girls didn't sing live at some knicker-shop show? Please, people. They looked fabulous and they put on a fresh, straight-forward, no bullshit pop peformance. At this stage in the game they don't have to prove that they can or cannot sing.
To all you haters: save words like 'whore' and 'skank' and 'cunt' for your mamma!
Hopefully when it comes to their actual concerts they will actually sing. Love Them anyways!!!!!!!
Why would they even lip sync??- their songs can be sung by a 5 year old-in tune– they were prob just so damn nervous about their comback performace would compare to Miss spears..the didn't wanna mess up. Lets all pray they will sing live at the concert!!
Can't wait to see them LIVE!! lip-syinc is not a problem.. every singer done that!
can heidi sing? doesn't matter. i love her anyway
The thing is, I don't think they ever sang live. It was more about the show. They never pretended like they were all great singers.
Re: FRED MERTZ –
they suck
the world NEEDS good music
not this money making shit
why would anybody see the spice girls
werent they sold to 8 year olds in the nineties
the world of music has gone to hell
First of all who gives a FUCK about the Spice Girls. I wish I would pay 5.00 to go see one of there WACK ASS SHOWS. I'm so sick of Victoria B trying to push us into her life. She needs to go right back to London where she belongs. Get da fuck out of L.A. " Dang Yall Have NO Real Talents " HAHA
I guess Perez did not get the MEMO that no one wants to see him on TV. he def is not much to look at ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!!!!!!
C'mon now! It's the Spice Girls. Bubblegum Pop in it's very deadly purest form. Expecting anything other than lipsynching is like being shocked if Britney's kids died of starvation.
Re: smarf – What is wrong with you people, or just you? They are over the hill? They look fantastic to me. And their 90s following still wants to see them! 17-23 year old girls because they loved them then and they want to see them now. If you are 20, you're an idiot of thinking just idiotic things. If you're 30, haven't you learned anything yet? If your 40, wow, pick up some self-worth. If your 50, I don't know what to say, I'd think you'd know better.
Re: Of Course They Lip Sync – Who's vaginas are wet? 17 year olds? 18? 19? 22 -25? Past 25 a woman should just kill herself?
Re: Of Course They Lip Sync – Who's vaginas are wet? 17 year olds? 18? 19? 22 -25? Past 25 a woman should just kill herself?
OMG u can`t be surprised that they`re lipsynching. what do u think they were doing in the 90s?
Why would their outfits be made by Victoria's Secret. Just because they performed for it doesnt mean that we have to make them!
So Perez, you're excited about Spice girls lip synching and you don't hate them, but because britney did you hate her and never shut up about the lip synching? i don't get you people that enforce one over the other.
I think the Spice Girls look like The Traveling Wilbury's Botoxed with bad hair weaves. (Traveling Wilbury's, for the pups, was Tom Petty's group of other famous musicians and proclaimed they were the ugliest music group as well).
So hot girls…oh,U hot guys have been to interracialsingleonline.com for interracial dating? why so many users on that place discuss so much about you? May be i need to check what really it happened.
X-my last 2 comments.
So I just finished listening to the old Spice Girls CDs. They make me happy.
I'm just mad that I cannot afford the tickets and they're not playing any concerts near me. (so they better start a new set of shows lol)
Lina, I'm sorry if I offended you. Spice Girls rule!!!
Perez, I'd just like to inform you that they tend to lipsynch at performances on tv and such, but never during their concerts have they lipsynched.
Although it is disappointing that they lipsynched, it should've been expected. But their tour, they will definitely be singing live on.
spice girls are the shit.
IM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS ON TV!
I get so tired of seeing Posh pose..So fake. And the bowling balls on her chest are freakin freaky..Ugh.
Watch Alicia Keys perform her new hit single "No One" on Last Cast with Carson Daly, Monday November 19th on NBC!!!!!!!!!!!
4 words:
they are so fake
Perez, are you stupid or something? If you have never seen SPICE GIRLS live in concert. DO NOT SPEAK FOR IT.
THEY DO SING LIVE in their concert.
if you don't know, just don't say it. that would make you look like a stupid ass.
I'm curious…why is it okay for the Spice Girls to lipsynch, but not other stars???
woooow! i'm loving theeem
viva spiceGirls!
=)
kisses !
Nice one Will.I.Am
singing GOT IT FROM YOUR MOMMA just when he's replacing someone whose Mother DIED!!, was that what Will got from his momma???
Yay Spice girls!! Woo hoo!! Nice to see that Perez didn't diss them… too much.
M&M for the win! Mel and Maks would make an awesome couple so I hope Mel ditches that opportunist "hubby" that swindled her into marrying him. Even though he knew she was fresh from a broken heart. Why'd he wait 7 years after being just friends? To parphrase Mel's mom, even she said Mel wasn't thinking straight when she married that REBOUND guy.
singing live or not…. they are simply the BEST!!!!!
i love the spice girls!!! im so happy there coming back and i hear they are better than ever! they all look so beautiful…I LOVE BABY SPICE
i love the spice girls!!! im so glad there back and i hear they are better than ever! I LOVE BABY SPICE (always been my favorite)
Can't wait until the show airs! It just a'int the holidays until the VS show!
i love all their songs….really….truely
