I sadly didn’t get to witness any of the Brit Awards yesterday, I could have watched online but I’ve been down with a head cold for several days and slept through the entire thing. I did however wake up to find out that the Spice Girls had won the “Best Performance” from the last 30 years at the Brits. Pretty exciting stuff since I was a huge fan back in the day. Even better is that Geri (my favorite!) and Mel B were there to accept.

The best part of the whole bit was when Geri grabbed for the mic from Mel B before she had even had a chance to say anything… that’s so Geri. And what about Mel B’s hair and outfit? You ain’t Lady Gaga, so you can stop.

Here is the clip, I believe it’s a mashed up four minutes of the presentation so you just get the good bits. And how fantastically tacky is the large “Mastercard” ad on the podium?

The Brit Awards are basically the UK version of the Grammys. But tend to be better and more representation of popular acts. And I’m pretty sure the population gets to vote on some categories as well, right?  Well, on some awards.

Just so you know, the Spice Girls musical is officially a go. According to Mel B on the matter:

All five of us are really super excited. We don’t do anything unless all five agree.

Lots of ideas were passed around and then one of the things that stuck was the musical. That night we celebrated the fact that we all had this amazing idea.

The musical is set to be based around the lives of five girls, but not necessarily The Spice Girls. It will be in more to the tune of the recent “Mamma Mia” movie.  Set to be produced by the girls’ former manager Simon Fuller and Mamma Mia!’s Judy Craymer. Craymer came on board  after Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) approached her twice about the idea.

The musical is expected to hit the London stage within the next three years.

Many fans seem to think that the musical is a bad idea and the “final nail in the coffin” of a career, that quite frankly was over long ago. I’ll reserve my opinions on this until there is more information about the story line. Keep in mind that three years time is more than the Spice Girls were actually together before Geri walked out or that the Girls never actually even finished their last venture, walking out on the last half of their world tour. Let’s hope they repeat neither of these instances.
