Spice Girls let fans down again



Is it just me, or are the Spice Girls deliberately trying to piss off their fans? First they cheated their followers in Asia, South America, Africa and Australia, by going back on their word that they would tour those areas. Dissapointed fans, excited at the prospect of seeing their childhood heroes together for the very last time, could be forgiven for assuming that they would ad least get to experience it through DVD. Well guess what? Apparently there isn't going to be a fucking DVD!

From their official site:
The Spice Girls would like to thank each and every one of you that has taken the time to write and tell them just how much you enjoyed the Return Of The Spice Girls Tour. The girls worked really hard on the show, and hearing how much you loved it has made all of the work worthwhile! Sadly there will not be a DVD release of the 47-date tour but the girls hope you were all left with some fantastic personal memories of the show. Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria said “We had an absolutely amazing time on the Return of The Spice Girls Tour and we would like to say a final thank you for all of your support. Girl Power lives on.

Which international act tours these days without releasing it on DVD? (Kelly Clarkson aside!). This is absolutely rediculous, as a DVD would sell through the roof and be the only opportunity for fans who are not American or British to see the show in all its glory. Oh well, I guess we are now forever reduced to dodgy hand-held clips on YouTube. Ah well, I guess the girls are content with continuing their flop solo careers and whoring their children for tabloid magazines. As you can tell, this has pissed me off, but I will live. So much for "Girl Power!" though :(
