Mr.X

actually in socialism, you have wealthy but those wealthy people distribute their wealth (like Billie 'no billionaires, share your money' Eillish and other of her contemporaries do, in opposition to what TS and B do...) either by charity or by taxing systems. Don't confuse that with communism - which is the equal share of rights, access and wealth, and the refusal of the profit-motive.

I prefer Oxygen to 2 Become 1 and Mama, for sure. Ballads wise, it goes: Viva Forever - Goodbye - Too Much - Oxygen - 2 Become 1 - Let Love Lead The Way - Mama - Time Goes By overall though, all great songs

Absolutely, they could easily do a stadium tour in US, UK, a couple in Europe and then stadiums in Australia, Singapure, Brazil and Mexico. over 200million easiily!! But we gotta get Gerita to agree to do it... it's wild

Let's be real girlies, the Spice Girls had the most iconic tours of all time. From the Istanbul shows to 2019's Stadiums tour, all of them were pretty impactful and constantly toped the box office scores of that year (trully, every time!) They started in arenas 1 year into their career in 1997 and were the first ever girlband to tour stadiums, 2 years after they first released music (back in 1998!)... Not only that, but their tours were constantly world-wide news and opened doors to other acts that followed after! Pop tours werent selling like they were selling and the Spice Girls bought pop music back to the charts AND to the stadiums! GIRL POWER!! One thing as well: they are the only girlband to do 5 international tours (so far) and they did it always with a live band and sang LIVE! (current girlbands can't compare, im sorry Little Mix and BlackPink!! Let's look at the legendary run of tours, shall we? Girl Power! Live in Istanbul (1997) Slick, fun, often moody but always SPICY. Perfect live instrumentation of the music and fully sang live! First western girlband to play in the Middle East Part of their deal with Pepsi, and it was a huge moment for them with worldwide attention. The shows sold out quickly and critics finally giving them acclaim, and it is considered one of their best to this day! When it was broadcast on TV it became the most watched music programme in the UK in over a decade, and went on to be broadcast constantly throughout the world up to the year 2000 Sales of its VHS got to 5x Platinum in the UK and US and Diamond in France Spiceworld Tour The first-ever girlband international arena tour. Prior to this, only the Supremes had toured internationally but they played mostly theatres and open spaces, and the occasional festivals To this day, considered the biggest girlband tour ever made, with 108 dates (!!) and over 2.1million people attending. Sold out instantly and it is to this date the most profitable girlband tour ever, with US dates alone making over $70million (which at the time was immense for a pop act!) After the initial run of 104 arena dates across Europe and North America, the tour was upgraded to Stadiums, marking the first time a girlband played a run of Stadiums, and the first pop act to do it on their first tour. The stadiums sold out instantly. The 2 Wembley shows were attended by 150,000 people, a record (at the time). Of course, this tour also is iconic because just before the end of the European leg, Geri Halliwell very publicly and dramatically left the band. Nonetheless, the remaining 4 continued and sold out the entire US run and Stadium legs. The shows at Wembley were broadcast live to over 3million viewers in the UK, and was constantly showing on TVs across the world up to the year 2000 Sales of the VHS were massive again, with projected sales of over 1million worldwide Initial plans to take the tour to Asia and Australia were cancelled due to Mel B and Victoria's pregancies mid-tour! Christmas in Spiceworld (1999) First full tour was a 4-piece, after 14 month hiatus, the shows sold out instantly. The Earls' Court dates sold out in record time (at the time) Played in the round, the tour saw them trying new ways of interacting with the public. During this tour, they performed 3 new tracks from the on-going recording sessions for their next album - WOMAN, Right Back at Ya and Holler, showcasing further inlays into dance and r'n'b and a development of their iconic sound This tour was initially booked to coincide with the release of a (sadly delayed!) late 1999 album, and it also became a promotion tactic for their Outstanding Brit Awards campaign. It was broadcast live on Sky TV to millions of people, proving the 4 were still highly in demand, and subsequently played on TVs across the world. Sadly, a planed DVD never surfaced as the groups' attention turned to their solo projects! The Return of the Spice Girls Tour 2007-2008 To this day, the only full tour with all 5 members! The tour sold 600,00 tickets across 47 arena shows, with a box-office gross of $75 million and earned an additional $100 million from merchandising. They won the Top Box Office award at the Billboard awards and the London's run was the year's most profitable touring residency of the year. They sold out 17!! consecutive nights at London's 02 arena, which was only topped by Prince's 23-date run. Initially announcing only 1 date for the 02, the first date sold out in 38 seconds and by the end of the first day on sale, they had 17 nights announced and sold out at the venue. The rest of the tour completely sold out instantly as well. Cemented them as the biggest girlband touring force in the world. Controversy did make a huge dent on thier brand at the time, as the announced non-European and North American tour dates in Asia, South America, Oceania and South Africa were cancelled abruptly (we now know that it was Mel B who admitted she couldnt handle it due to the abuse from her husband at the time). Spice World Stadium Tour (2019) a HUGE return to the touring circuit, specially after 11 years away from the stage The 13 date UK & Ireland tour was attended by 700,000 people and made over £80million in ticket sales alone. This was the first girlband to do a full-on stadium tour. Iconic, it was massive news all over the world. They won that year's Top Box Office score at Billboard Awards again, and the Wembley run of shows was the Highest Touring Engagement of the year Sadly, of course, Victoria did not take part in the venture, but she publicly supported the remaining 4 girls The full tour sold out in a single day, and by midday that day, there were over 700,000 people in the queue for the Wembley dates. The CEO of Wembley at the time said that based on what the demand was, they could have easily played there for a whole month. They have now played Wembley 5 times. SO WHICH IS IT ATRL??!!

This being their best version of it where they ramp up the spanish guitar even more! Victoria leading the chorus??? Emma slaying her vocals and her moment with the fan? Mel C's ad libs??!!! Gerita dissapearing at the end? Iconic

It's art! They are not seducing or killing the child, it is about the loss of innocence and the end of a summer romance

Absolutely. Followed closely by Holler and Say You'll Be There. IMAGINE having those three songs in your repertoire and still having an imaculate collection of singles like Too Much, Wannabe, Goodbye, Who Do You Think You Are, and also album tracks like Never Give Up On The Good Times, If You Wanna Have Some Fun, Denying, If You Can't Dance, etc etc etc?? My god, no other girlband can compare or even get close!

You people are derranged and hate yourselves, jfc

RIP to her. She did a lot of good to a lot of people but also a lot of damage. As part of her work with the CIA, was her insistance on not advancing class consciousness and struggle, and her anti-communist stance. She only focused on gender, which without class consciousness/discourse/change, I'm afraid it is mostly posturing and neo-liberalism.

Are you serious now???..... come on.....

I love her but this is not ok... people point at Ariana or other celebrities that constantly look ill or not like themselves because they are adehering to beauty standards/demands from society, and how impactful on other non-celebrity women that is. They are right to do that. This, unfortunately, just portrays a woman trying to look like she is not the age she is. And that is ******* sad, and consistently plays into the trope that older women are not worthy of being seen with even a slight wrinkle... a lot of celebrities do it of course (look at Nicole Kidman, that woman looks like she has a fake face most of the time) and there is currently the so-called 'Hollywood face' trend where so many women are getting fake surgeries/bottocks whatever the **** to look a specific type of younger. But they just end up looking like a parody of themselves. They don't look good. They look like they are sad that they are not what they actually are. It is, sadly, another form of oppression by the patriarchy and it is so sad that so many fall into it... it is not just their fault of course - hell, most of these famous women even have "beauty brands" they built themselves to go with it - but they are willingly playing into it as well, and helping drive that oppression. We should be supporting these women to be themselves, not doll-like versions of whatever they think they need to look like.

Capitalism in a nutshell. They bring you a product that is free to use initially, get successful and start making most of its features pay-only once everyone is either hooked to it or believe they need it. That's how they get you to spend ridiculous amounts, and they specially prey on the more vunerable people (in this case, those perceived as 'not standard beauty', disabled people, closeted, etc). It is one of the most horrendous parts of capitalism.

(to be fair, I would love for North Americans to stop holidaying and buying holiday property in Portugal, that would be nice and would be a good way to stop the empoverishment of the Portuguese people) However!! This is a clear call for slavery, specially in a country that barely has any holidays protected by law! He just wants to get himself and his family and friends richer while everyone else works for them.

Why the **** would you pay to see some extra profiles that you wont hook up with?... Girl, just delete grindr and go out of the house. Go dancing, go to a bar or a cruising site, whatever floats your boat. Stop using shite apps like Grindr and Tinder, my god. They are part of the reason as to why so many in this community are individualised and depressed.

It is almost end of Summer 2026 and this thread's title - and a lot of people here - still calls it a 'conflict' hey? It's a ******* genocide!!

If you are supporting a genocidal zionist nazi who can't act for free, that just makes you even more of a looser lol Looser in morals, in taste, and in no payola. It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic.

Let's remind ourselves of said acting abilities shall we?

Anyway this was the bullshit the zio-nazi was promoting

Then you have no idea of what talent is. Or maybe you just support a genocidal bastard who loves to promote the mass murder of people. Which is it, Vin?...

She is an Israel asset. That's all there is to it.

Even beyond the genocidal bloody thirsty disgusting vile person she is, she is indefensible as an actress. She is a celebrity and she is pretty, but she is also an Israel asset as she herself has admitted in a recent podcast interview when she stated she was part of a state of Israel campaign to promote the IDF and was recruited by the ambassador of Israel to the USA. FURTHERMORE, this genocidal ***** literally promoted IDF genocidal campaigns in 2023-2024 by showing IDF made films in Hollywood to promote and justify the genocide. She literally did that, she literally promoted propaganda for the state of Israel during AND for a genocide. And YET AGAIN, she is still the ******* worst actress you can have in Hollywood. Trained, or not trained. That doesnt matter when she is ******* awful either way. Stop trying to defend this ******* *****. Vin... or whatever the ****

ZIONIST GENOCIDAL TERRORIST SCUM She was literally training women in the IDF after she completed her initial draft. **** this ***** forever.

I've seen the leaked nudes, he is very welcome to be part of the community (choke me daddy)
