How Spice Girls - GEM Could Actually Work (Hint: K-Pop)
If Spice Girls history tells us anything, the just-announced Spice Girls - GEM splinter group is a risk. Remember when Geri Halliwell ducked out at the top of the group's success in 1998? The remaining four members did their best continue on Spice Girls brand, but their third (and would-be final) album Forever had a lukewarm response all around and eventually led to their indefinite hiatus.
Today, Geri, Emma Bunton and Mel B announced they were reforming as Spice Girls - GEM in celebration of the group's 20th anniversary—leaving out members Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm who have given tepid responses to reunion questions. Some fans are jumping for joy, but others are thinking this could tarnish their legacy. There is a way this could work out for everyone, but we may have to look East for the answer.
