Saturday night the Spice Girls played the home court at London's 02 Arena and the reviews are in: As the Telegraph put it, "the singing was weak" and their style "cheap and cheerful." The Independent took special care to point out that it was an "energised show" and that "the odd slightly off-key note suggest the singing is live." But the biggest buzz from the show? Victoria "Posh" Beckham's scene-stealing ways. The Daily Mail says the other Spices were far from okay with the "insane applause" given Posh, "despite the fact she didn't have very many lines to sing." Victoria also "wore the highest heels" and, during the encore, "she did not wear her cape with her hood up" over her head thus "preserving her perfectly groomed hair" and making her stand out more distinctly. She ain't called Posh for no reason! [Telegraph, Independent, Daily Mail] More »
