Here are our 10 possibilities for the Spice Girls reunion
BBC ^ | 02-05-2018 | By Annabel Rackham

Posted on 02/06/2018 7:56:00 AM PST by Red Badger

The Spice Girls revealed this weekend they were "talking about opportunities" that may come their way in 2018.

Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm (and former manager Simon Fuller) were pictured together on Friday.

The last time they were all together was in 2012, when they performed at the London Olympics and then went on tour.

Victoria ruled out singing again last year and Emma said they needed "another sit down" before the plans took shape.

Speaking on Heart London on Monday, Emma wouldn't confirm whether there would be a tour or new album.

She cryptically said there was a need for "a bit of girl power in the world".

This was echoed by Mel C, who spoke to Dermot O'Leary on the Radio 2 Saturday Breakfast Show saying "opportunities and ideas" were being discussed but "nothing set in stone".

The Sun has reported that the band members could be in line for £10m each and are considering TV shows, endorsement deals and a compilation album.

Seeing as they haven't confirmed what reuniting actually involves, we've put together 10 possible options.

DISCLAIMER: None of these are real, but we fully expect a sizeable payout if they ever materialise.

Were they that big of a deal over there? Seemed sort of lightweight and throwaway to me, even at the time let alone ten years after the fact.

Perhaps it's because they were all thin. That made them a major cultural phenomenon.

Yeah, I think they were. What acts will they be required to perform to pull this off? I think they went that route already back in their day.

Victoria Beckham is about the only one of the group who is absolutely financially secure. “Ginger Spice” did some albums and is fairly secure. From the three others, they probably get some checks each year for songs still played but I doubt if it’s more than 10k a year.

There is a market in Europe for oldie-groups and they might be able to stage a one-year market blitz, and do twenty concerts around Europe.

Beyond that, there’s no connection to teenies today, and their style has come and gone.
