  • SPICE GIRLS  sang live just for the record

  • 1:45 yehey! flag of the philippines!!!!!

  • i was there and they were still singing live i think the microphone wasnt working either and if you'll listen closely to this video you can actually listen that they are still singing the song. Way to go Spice Girls very profesional.

  • I think they do realize that there was something wrong. I was watching another video of this and the person was right next to the stage as soon as the audio blows Geri looks around like "WTF just happened?" - I think they just wanted to finish the show without making a huge deal over it.

  • that was funny it is not the girls fault though it was the audio people make mistakes lol

  • I was there, at first I didn't know what was happening, I could still kind of hear them singing, so they weren't lip synching

  • each one has an audiphone in their ears trought they listen the music and their voices, even if the speakers go out, they can continue listening the music

  • how funny lol

  • i was there and i could hear the spice girls singing even though the audio did go out.

  • they were singing - but they don't listen to themselves as you hear it, they hear themselves in their ear pieces. Just cuz the audio cut doesn't mean they were lipsyncing

  • apart from the fault anyone who got to see the Spice Girls show is extremely lucky. There were thousands of Australian fans who missed out - but from what i've seen on youtube it looks amazing. Bring on the DVD!

  • if u listen really closely u can still hear them singing!

  • well, when performing in a concert, the peformers usually wear earpieces to help them hear the music and themselves and the band more clearly. so, obviously, the girls could still hear the band since it was playing in their ears. the our speaker system just blew.

    they were not lip-syncing. i went to the show in jersey. and my friends went to the show in ny and there is a part where geri just stops singing and laughs. so, there goes that theory.

  • Thats a shame, I feel really bad for them because the entire show that I went to was unbelievable.

  • All the critics can relax ...

    This was not an Ashlee Simpson moment.

    People just want to be negative ... especially the voice in the background at the end of this video ... "OMG"

  • and um, whoever said, "it proves they're lipsynching" you're wrong. when you're on stage, you can really only hear yourself, they probably had NO CLUE until the show was over.

  • i feel bad for you guys who got stuck not getting to hear the finale, i would hate that. that's not a way for the spice girls to go out in boston.

  • XD orale y no se escuchaba nada de nada !!! y como hacian para llevar el ritmo los bailarines

  • SPICE GIRLS RULE ALL!!!

  • At least it didn't happen in the middle of the show, that would've been worse O.o;

  • WHEN will they release the concert DVD???

  • they released an official statement today on their official site that "sadly there won't be any DVD of the tour" I cried my eyes out :(

  • so did i

  • me too! that's pretty shady of them to do that to their fans. i mean, i was lucky enough to get tickets, but not EVERYONE got to go to the show and they should know that. it would be decent of them to give the fans that didn't get a chance to go a DVD, but no. it's ridiculous!

  • its not their falt its emi virgins fault because when they said they wernt ding the ntire tour they desided not to get the dvd on tour its not their fault its their fault its emi...

  • sorry i ment its not their falt its emi virgin falt

  • apparently never.

    =(.

    lol.

    love them!

    .<33333.

  • i was there and i thought that we were screaming so loud i couldn't hear them but then I realized that the audio went out. Who cares it was still the BEST SHOW EVER!!!!

  • i was there.... it was unbelievable

  • i was there.....i was unbelievable...

  • does it ever come back on?

  • i'm sure they didn't know because they wear in-ear monitors. So everyone on stage could still hear the music.

  • why you watch vid if you dont like them idiot

  • I like stages a lot, and this is such a pretty good one even if in this case it doesn't work properly and even if I don't like Spice Girls. That's why.

  • the spice girls rule! your so weird. why are you even watchhing them if u dont like them?!?!?

  • your mum sucks the slimey dick, leave the spice girls alone whore-bag

  • wow that sucks. i was at the first toronto show, feb 3rd., and nothing went wrong well expect geri tripped while she was dancing down the runway.

  • haha really i would've liked to have seen that! lol jk

  • haha it sucks even more

  • They obviously knew... they were still dancing because then if they did stop and went what the hell, then that would kill the concert

  • I would be really pissed if that happened like during the last fucking song.

  • THAT'S TRUE.

    I would be mad. the ending of the concert is crap

  • o m g what happend ????????????????????????????

  • wow they killed that shit, they are the best performers ever to do that show with no music. wow, they have my most respect

  • they werent lipsynching because if the audio dropped and you couldnt hear the band play that meant that the speakers and microphones went out and they did not know because they have ear phones in thats why they did not react

  • Thats a shame, I feel really bad for them because the entire show that I went to was unbelievable.

  • i was there, and i wasnt that upset about the audio, more confused.. i was more aggravated with the fact that this version was soo hard to sing along to

  • haha so true :P :)

  • rofl it aint that bad :P

  • i hate when the artists change up their songs and make them hard to sing along to.

  • This was the finale and reprise of the song so it was diff from the opening which was the original version.

  • omg i want to go to their concert

  • sorry for my nasty messages sorry you tube usres im so sorry

  • annnd the girls DID know the audio blew out, they just kept on dancing and singing.. and NO they obviously werent lip synching.

  • guys they taoatally didint lip synk they were amazing i was there

  • The is still music playing, its just from the Foldback Monitors on stage, hence the reason there still singing and dancing (Just being professional - If you can call the spicegirls that!) Its just the front of house rig thats tripped out, so none of the audience can really hear.

  • surely it was a problem with the speaker close to the person who filmed this... the rest of the speakers are working cause u can hear some music (behind the screaming).

  • no, trust me everything just stopped working.. all you could hear was the screaming from the fans.

  • I was there and the speakers DID blow out, you could only hear the more quiet audio, as if the speakers didnt fully blow out.

  • does any one know where i can download this remix thanks if you can

  • OMG how embarassing!

  • i was there...i was so fuckin pissed off when that happend. they didnt lip anything..trust me..i was close to the stage and they kept singin when the mics went out. but they were fab.

  • OMG u lucky i wanted to go but I cant coz they rnt going to new zealand and i know they wudnt lip sync coz they r 2 gooood for that

  • they werent liping everything just went off evan their mics

  • i was there!

    it was amazing.

    the sound just cut out horribly.

    but at the end the HA CI YA HOLD TIGHT! was fine.

  • Poor girls haha

  • Lol

    just a little bit embaressing.

  • OMG, I went to the show on the 31th on jan! IT WAS SO AWESOME! Well, they had bad luck ;)

  • They're so professional. I love the SPICE GIRLS!

  • I cant believe that happened..

    WOW!!

    I almost went to that concert too.

    I love the first version of Spiceup your life but I love the Remix much better..

    =D

  • " the show must go on "

  • at least they werent lipsynching..

  • On Manchester 24th Geri Halliwell was because she moved her microphone and you could still here her. Not surprising from her I guess but I reckon the rest were still singing.

  • i went to the l.a. concert and that did not hapen at the end lol wow but at least they finished it and kept to the routine

  • omg, it's not "shit". obviously you didnt experience this live. there is no way that ANY sort of filming can capture how AMAZING they were. in fact i loved the second rendition of s.u.y.l. more than the first, i think it nice to see a bit of variety in the way they sing.

  • fuck you you bumba ras clat shit head man fuck you rite up your ass fucking bumba calt about shi conga you dont know shit man go fuck yourself

  • they probably have sound cancelling headphones/earbuds hence why they can't hear that the sound shut off. but hey, they are ENTERTAINERS, so who gives a rats ass if they lip sync, it's all about entertainment value. it is what it is. I don't like it much either... but people pay good money to enjoy themselves there so who's to tell them they are wrong? bloggers on youtube? I think not...

  • man this is a drag..... you could buy me diamonds... you could buy me pearls.. take me on a cruise around the world.. sound like a real artist to you? although i like the spice girls they can't sing...

  • fuck you bumba clsy

  • LOL river dancing

  • it didnt even look like the sudio went off haha even if it did bwaha .. it kinda loooks like its the end of the song ... weellll KINDA

  • Lol, yeah. In the video you can hear the music a little bit coming back in some speakers. That sucks for them.

  • The Show Must Go ON!!!!!

  • omg pple it was a small sound problem that took place just a minute b4 the end of the show, BIG DEAL. They were singing live, they always do in their concerts. mmac78: WTF is 'real music'? Pop music is just as gud as any & spice girls write their own stuff so they are 'real'. I didn't know racist ppl STILL existed, I think pple like up4fred should die for being racist. SPICE UP UR LIFE!

  • now.. i'm not one to judge.. but that did not sound like they were singing it live. but i don't know, i wasn't there.

  • Great mature comment. At least they don't think like a kid.

  • well said, friend!

  • Maybe it seems like a tremendous waste of money, but some people actuall have been waiting a long time for these ladies to get back together. Like my sister >.>

  • up4fred,

    You're so big making racist comments behind the safety of your computer. Yeah, I'd be ashamed of myself too.

  • Just because the audio cut out for the main speakers does not mean that their monitors did not work. They all have inner ear monitors. they might not have known that the main speakers did not work... ***The show must go on***

  • ohhh ok bud why dont you calm down a little bit, you dont even know the person who wrote that comment.

  • So they lip sing?

  • They cancelled all the remaining concerts in Australia, Latinamerica and Asia, I think it was due to selling few tickets. Ha ha

  • They hadnt even starting selling in those Continents! so thats bullshit. Besides there was talk of doing 11 dates in Australia before they announced their so called break. Their gonna return to finish it off where they didnt play with 3 new dates in the UK apparently - that should keep u lot pissed off for a while longer! :D

  • wtf happened?

  • they played on cos they cant sing get a clue if it came back and they just standing there they would be found out

  • what i've heard is that when the confetti went off the machine fired backwards (due to the force), hitting the sound consoles (for the audiences sound) totally disconectting it, this however does not affect monitors(mixed from seperate console(s) ) which performers have in their ears on stage so therefore they continued oblivious

  • There is a "rule" behind the scenes, techs know this one so well :

    no matter what, keep on playing!

    Shorts in the mike, a scan falls on someone's head, a stage torch burns someone.... Keep on playing..... Thats the way it is in the B.S. wonderfull of showbiz!

  • the truth is that the banknorth garden contract that they had said they could only be onstage for 1hour:45 minutes and they went over their time . i was told that by a guy that worked there . it was so fun thoughh .

  • wait so does that mean that they were lipsynching?

  • Everyone on stage wears ear pieces to protect their hearing. The ear pieces have the audio in them so they can sing.They probably didn't know the audience couldn't hear them. So it doesn't mean that they're lipsyncing

  • even though it looks cool great concert

  • if I would have been there I would have been like "IIIIH!!" and they would have been all like "Spice up your life!" and I would. I would start spicing up my life right there and then.

  • I went to yesterdays concert and it was amazing.

  • MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

  • They are so awesome they made the speakers blow out!

  • hahah lol who cares

  • i was told monitors were still on but the explosion+speaker vibration=BUSTED SPEAKAS...

    so they thought everything was okay..thats what i heard i dont know if it true tho...

  • they are SO awesome! kids these days don't know nothing about music that makes you happy! all they know is music that makes you HORNY! =-p

  • wht porno

  • nothing to say. but this video was defintely 3 mins too long

  • this video is 3 minutes too long

  • Performers these days wear in-ear monitors. They probably still heard everything and has no idea.

  • I LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS!!!!

    LOL

  • haha, at the very end u can hear theme screaming the words

  • I love how everyone keeps saying "they didn't even notice the playback going off".....what did u expect them to do??....stop the performance and go "sorry, our mics have stopped working...give us 5 minutes to sort out the problem."....silly people....every professional performer knows that no matter what happens on stage, you must always carry on regardless. I think they handled it really well and it could have quite easily been part of the show.

  • Of course.

  • Hmmm, poor Spice Girls.

  • I know but it was just a little mistake,right?

  • oh come on.atleast they sing live.its a mistake!madona made many mistakes!its not that funny.

  • let's cut them some slack...

    in the end, nothing can be worse than ashlee simpson's hodown

  • Aw...that's so sad.

  • thats f*cking stupid! come on! man stupid people running the audio!HELLLO? that sucks..at least it was at the end of the concert, i guesss...

  • ahh, come on this is not so bad, shit happends, but i think that the whole show was amezing

    the spice girls will stay the best whatever happends!!!!!!!!

  • Spice girls = Cheesy pishy pop - Americans will love it lol

  • back then they were hot.

  • OH P.S... no when a mic blows you're not going to hear a singular person singing in an audience that is screaming that loud. So no they weren't lip synching, right when everyone shut up i heard them singing.

  • Actually they were performing live.

    I was in the third row, and you could see in their faces that they knew their mics were off but they sat their belting it out, and if you were close enough you could hear ginger laughing at the fact that it was all fucked up. I heard them and the band, and we also got to here the pissed off techies screaming and swearing that the confetti blew out the mics.

    But they were still singing, and the right shit too.

  • like the original

  • hahahah omg. this is so funny. i love that they DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE. they probably saw people looking around like 'wtf' and got all confused haha.

  • Idiot.

    How could they NOT notice? Honestly. The music was loud. They aren't deaf. They knew. Goodness. They showed great showmanship in continuing on like nothing was wrong. THAT is what makes a good performer.

  • there moniters were still on just not the outside speakers

  • man they have earpeices in that play the music they dont hear it through the speakesr but teh ear peices.

  • well you don't have to call me an idiot, way to be mature. from this video, it looks like they don't notice. they do have earpieces that they hear the music through, they don't hear it through the speakers. so they very well could have heard the music keep going, and had no idea the speakers blew. so no, i'm not an idiot, thanks very much.

  • LOL were the fuck did they come from i remember them when i was like 10 were did they come from they must of need money or something

  • Hillary/Obama 08!!!

  • aww..that sucks. i hope that doesn't happen again

  • I blame it on your mom

  • Who cares?

  • fucked up hahaha

  • omg!!!!!

  • ok this is strange,

    but at a different subject why did they have to open the show with the same song as well as ending with it? thats just silly!

  • I blame it on the streamers

  • that was kind of an awkward ending. lol

  • The sound went out...I don't give a damn about the spice girls...but this says nothing about them lip sync'n ....it's just the amps that went out...they're prob still hearing themselves in their earpeices....not lyp sync'n (although again....I wouldn't care either way)

  • why in the world would you even want to go to a spice girls concert..they suck

  • legends almost

  • wich song is in the mix at 2:31 when sporty spice dances, anybody knows?

  • It´s "Llhorando se fue" by Keoma. There´s a famous cover of this song in Brazil called "Chorando se foi", Ivete Sangalo, a brazilian singer, sings this song in her show. Another interesting thing, when Mel C dances this mix, the Brazil´s flag appears on screen! :D

  • it was good but i thought the blowout was part of the show

  • omg thanks so much for this! i didn't even realize the sound had gone off, i remember wondering why they were silent, but i was distracted by the confetti hahah

  • ohwow! haha aww!

  • Ahhh poor girls but I bet they didn't really know what was happening. Probably their ear plugs were playing the track and they continued singing...and even if they knew what was happening, they continued. That's what makes them the best.

    SG4Ever

  • How long is the tour running? Please don't say it's over yet, I need tickets!

  • lmfao !

  • im pretty sure they knew the sound went out, but the show must go on right! i dont think they were lip syncing (after reading what the person below me said) but even if they were at least they had the guts to go back on stage after how many years, they are all parents now, im sure they are somewhat embarassed to do this. no matter what they are always awsome though!!!

  • No problem! Trust me if they were lipsynching i would be on here making fun of them too. But they werent. I was right near the soundsystem and you could see the guys scrambling to fix the mics.

  • I was there and they were singing! The confetti blew out the mics. You could see them mouthing the words and could hear some words come out too.

  • thank you for confirming that the person filming obviously doesnt understand that the speakers blew!! hence not being able to hear the band, or their VOICES!!!

  • ROFLMAO!!!

  • they werent lip synching. their mikes got turned off because the sound blew. duh.
