With their reunion tour winding down, Geri Haliwell has posted this poignant entry on the official Spice Girls blog, reminiscing about their epic Madison Square Garden show and being back together with the ladies.

She says:

"Hi,

So we’ve just played Madison Square Garden and it was amazing. We finally did it as a five piece (the girls did it once before after I left) and I feel so delighted… mission almost accomplished. The energy and atmosphere were amazing.

Victoria’s son Cruz was a little star. We all had our children up on stage tonight and Cruz started break dancing! How cool is that? It’s clearly in the family.

So, we have got six shows left to do and it’s rather like a countdown. I feel a mixture of sadness and joy. I know it’s time to come home yet I will miss everyone from the tour.

I love New York so, so much and I have had a blast here. I hit the ground running… enjoying the nightlife, the vintage shopping, the food and the people. I am in love with New York. I feel like I found a part of me that I had kind of forgotten. The Statue Of Liberty is in view as I write this and she certainly has Girl Power. New York has been liberating.

I’ve also been exposed to the world of street-style dance, and it’s so cool to see fresh talent, it’s so raw and real. Being around our tour dancers has been a privilege; they have opened my eyes to the craft of dance.

And so I close on this note… what I have learnt is that I can never say never. If you’d asked me ten years ago if I would have been at Madison Square Garden with the Spice Girls, I would have said no. But look what has happened, and that is my lesson. Job done.

Big hug and night night. I’m going out dancing now with Emma and the rest of the gang.

Much love,
Geri x"

they should be called "old spice", cause they sound about as fresh as it smells, i dun get the big appeal of the spice girls, i mean "wannabe" was okay when i was like 12.

I'm saying this here because the Obama thread has over 1000 comments. I'm going to make this real simple because it's pointless trying to explain such "intricate"(it's not that hard to understand) issues to Perez and his sheep. And Hillary's sheep.

PEREZ STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING ELECTIONS. WE GET IT YOU LIKE HILLARY. WHAT THE FUCK EVER. Secondly, the so called "plagerised" speech Obama used wasn't fucking plagerised. He didn't say Deval's speech word from word any fucking way. He used it with PERMISSON!!!!! Something your Holy Hillary didn't do when she used Obama's slogans. So check your fucking facts before you make a fucking statement, you dumbass.

AND IF YOU ARE GETTING YOUR POLITICAL INFORMATION FROM A GOSSIP WEBSITE, THEN I PITY YOUR SANITY.

OH AND OBAMA JUST WON WISCONSIN. How ’bout them apples???

That is all.

Obama WINS ANOTHER primary while you bastards continue to lie, cheat and avoid the issues that concern the voters!!! Clinton thought the primary season would be an easy (in the bag) win; just like dumb ass Rudy thought wrong! Keep on believing in your girl while Obama keeps on winning!!!!

I used to like your site but you suck Perez. And those lame ass "Obama-Hillary 2008" t-shirts are just another way for you to make money. You don't even support Obama! And when Obama wins the November nomination, don't try to act like you supported him all along! You will always be remembered for your original candidate choice!

Stick to what you know best - lame-ass Britney, Paris, Nicole, Lindsay and Potato Head-bashing!

I can't believe all these Spice Girls that are mothers want to go out dancing.. When I became a mom (at age 26), I wanted to be with my child. I got all my "wild oats" sown already. I guess not with the Spice Girls. And Emma just had a baby, like what, a few months ago??? Maybe it is different in England, than here in the U>S..

I want you all to go to NY Times web page and read Jon Stewart's article about his hosting the Oscars. THIS is how "celebrities" should act. A lesson to all who make their life harder than it has to be. This is not a promotion. I don't care about the NYT's hits. Just check it out. Humility. It's a virtue.

bla bla bla after they have cancelled the rest of their tour, my opinion of the Spice Girls has gone to rock bottom. I love(d) them from when they first released Wannabe to when they decided to cut the show short. Moving from the UK and now living in South Africa I was waiting and waiting for the dates to appear when they would be appearing here and now NOTHING! CRUSHED is not the word. So much for 'we love ALL our fans'. Get enough money and run seems what has happened here… VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Re: Genie – Yes they did that in Vegas too. Most concerts do. The tickets say 8pm, for example, but the artist rarely comes onstage until about an hour later. It's a ploy to get everyone there and in their seats. They weren't being "divas". The show was great!

I'm really cut about their decision not to come to australia. all their fans here hate the Spice Girls now. i don't see how they could do that to us, and not come on tour to oz. They said they had to go where the demand was but there are millions in Australia who were dying to see them. I think its disgraceful, they just offended our whole country. AUSTRALIA loves the spice girls too! not anymore . . .
