[I]tem-hungry "journalists" all over are making a big deal about the Spice Girls "singing in the nude"--with their naughtiest bits covered up by props--on their upcoming world tour. Sure, the promise of bare boobies = Mad Google Love (hi, horndogs!), but the frenzy over this is making me wonder if I'm one of the few working writers out there who actually listened to the deep cuts on Spice, or who saw the group on its world tour, because as you can see from the above clip, this isn't exactly a never-been-done-before concept for the Spices, and between this and the wan "Headlines" I'm starting to get a little nervous about this tour being the same thing I saw back in 2000, only, you know, more expensive, and with Geri this time.

Emma Bunton [B]ecame the third current Spice Girl to enjoy a UK solo number 1 single when What Took You So Long topped the charts in April 2001. However, her subsequent releases had disappointing sales and she followed Melanie B. in being dropped by her record label as a solo album. She reurned to her former manager, Simon Fuller . Victoria Beckham suffered the same fate - despite her clever manipulation of the media on her part in keeping her in the public eye, it failed to increase record sales. It has to be said her solo work has been disappointing at best. And Halliwell's solo albums, despite chart topping singles, have ... suffered ever diminishing sales in all territories.
