POPinion: Spice Girls reunited after world tour
April 9th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
Is it me or are the 2000s becoming a repeat of the 1990s? It seems more and more like a comeback of the ’90s pop generation of music artists-something completely unexpected to me.
When the various pop groups and singers dazzled the airwaves with their catchy tunes in the late ’90s to early 2000s, I never expected them to return.
The music business retreated from the fan-friendly sugary songs and artists that broke records with their album sales.
By 2001, it seemed pop music had reached its heyday with the rise of more catchy beats and songs about “My Humps” and “Gold Digger(s)” in the music industry.
Even the big names of those moneymaking groups broke out into their solo careers, distancing themselves from their early bubbly sounding tunes (See: Justin Timberlake and Beyonce). As more rap and R&B songs abounded from the airwaves, it seemed pop music was of a bygone era.
Yet in June 2007, the 1994-2000 girl band, the Spice Girls, announced their reunion-seven years after officially disbanding-exciting their dormant fans. They initially planned to have only 11 shows across the world to compliment their greatest hits CD. However, in December, they kicked off their world tour with an additional 36 shows as a result of ticket demand.
