Spice Up Your Christmas Again

Every year I like to share a Spice Girls Holiday related video with ya. It's become known as America's least looked forward to tradition. Thank you very much! Here's another cute commercial for a British department store chain that plays off the girls persona's:

edTunes - Wannabe

I loves me some Spice Girls. And I loves me some Spice World, the girl's big movie adventure. You might watch this clip of the girls Spice performing their hit Wannabe in their movie Spice World and think it just doesn't make any sense out of context with the rest of the film. The beautiful thing is: this scene doesn't make any more sense tucked into the rest of the motion picture that wraps around it! And that's the magical beauty of the Spice Girls!

Wonderful World of Spice Girls Holiday `10

Every holiday season I search the depths of YouTube to find some new Spice Girls Christmas goodness to share with you. Here's this years offering...

Classic Commercial Sunday - Spicy Christmas

This isn't really a classic but here's a neat advert for a British (I assume) chain of department stores. It stars the reunited Spice Girls, who at the time of this commercial had just gotten back together for a world wide reunion tour. (I went...and it was awesome!)

Spiced Up My Life

I just got back from an amazing 42-hour visit to San Jose, California where I witnessed the pure awesomeness that is The Spice Girls Reunion Tour. Seriously, the show was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen. As you may have guessed from reading this site, I don't usually stop liking things. Once I'm a fan, I'm always a fan and that holds true for the Spice Girls. But, since they broke up many years ago they've kind of been a closed chapter in my book. Sure I've still listened to their CDs, and their movie Spice World remains one of my favorite movies of all time, but I never expected to hear anything new from them again yet alone see them live in concert again! So it was fantastic just to get to see them, and then to add to that the fact that they blew the roof off the dump with their high-energy, colorful, and cheerful show was the icing on the cake! I could go on and try and tell you all about the costume changes, big production numbers and other cool things they did, but pictures speak louder than words so let me share a few photos of The Spice Girls live in San Jose, CA.

Here's the Fab Five together again belting out one of their hits.

It wouldn't be a Spice Girls show without Geri slipping into her Union Jack mini-skirt!

Each of the girls did a little solo number. Here's Emma doing a cover of some song in a very visual set piece.

Geri brought her A-game to the stage with a big production number of "It's Raining Men"

Scary got some dude out of the audience and then strapped him up inside this ladder-thingy while he got a somewhat-graphic lap dance.

Here's Emma looking adorable in one of her 13 costumes.

They have a real jazzy song called "The Lady is a Vamp" so everybody got all dressed up real classy like!

They did another number with all these feathers and some pole dancing.

There's Emma singing at her pole.

They brought these "changing rooms" out for a few songs...

Did I mention it was an awesome show!?

It's a Spiceworld After All

As you've probably heard by now, pop group The Spice Girls made international happy news yesterday by announcing that they were getting back together and going on tour! One word for ya: SWEET. Let me tell ya why I love The Spice Girls. First, they are silly and goofy and they know it and they are just out to have fun with their music. Second, they put out two CD's of pure upbeat happy pop music at a time when the whole record industry was putting out dark, depressing grunge music. They brought fun back to music! Third, they made one of the greatest films of all time SPICEWORLD. Number four, there was a ton of silly merchandising out featuring the girls including dolls, action figures, stickers, candy....you name it and there was a Spice Girls version of it.

The Spice Girls 11-city tour brings them to the U.S. for three shows. They will be in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York in early December 2007. I'm already working on getting tickets to one of the cities shows. (If your interested in the journey, let me know!)

I saw The Spice Girls live in the summer of 1998. If you want, you can read all about it on a web page I made nine years ago for no particular reason.
