Girl Power Outage

Posted Nov 23rd 2007 12:38PM by TMZ Staff

The Spice Girls comeback tour may seem like a big deal in the U.S., but back on their side of the pond, the Spice market is dry.

When their tour was first announced, tickets "sold out" in London in 38 seconds. But according to the Daily Record, tickets that cost £85 are now selling for £25. So not majah!

But the fearsome fivesome can still count on love from the good old U.S. of A. On eBay, tickets are going for above face value for their stateside tour dates. America loves its British imports.

17. Big deal in the U.S., yea right! There is no hype around the Spice Girls... not sure where in the hell you got that? They blew back then, they blow now... and they can thank David Beckham for what little talk is circulating about them... This is like Millie Vanillie getting back together for a reunion tour, no one cares!

21. This tour is such a joke. I know someone who's one of the crew and they tell me they haven't even done any rehearsals yet and the first show is next week! What a mess. The dancers are all cheesed off about their
costumes because they've spent hardly any money on them and
the girl's costumes were purchased off the rack at a cheapo clothes
store and decorated by the seamstress! If you bought a ticket don't
expect much!

22. I don't believe they are seling well in the U.S. I don't know one person who has mentioned anything about the Spice Girls, and I'm talking about those who were fans in the past.

25. Im from England, when I heard they were reforming I cried because we'd be treated to more of their mediocre songs and their tuneless voices

27. The Spice Girls reunion is just like when the Monkeys got back together. I can't wait til they come to the county fair so I can see them.

30. # 22, 23 ROTFLMAO!

It is sad how low the bar is set by our audiences on these singers any crap they do is still good. We Americans love a comeback story but the Spice Girls are crap and we deserve better.

Britain through the years has produced a lot of great artists but the Spice Girls are mediocre.

Will we ever see Posh smile, no, it would be s sigh of weakness I believe that she believes if she did smile or smirk.
