Watch: Spice Girls exploit children
- Artists:
- Spice Girls »
As the Spice Girls world tour – and indeed, their whole career - limps flaccidly to a close, Drowned in Sound should be forgiven for taking its eye off the ball from time to time.
Big thanks to NME.com, then, who have reported today on how “Victoria Beckham’s youngest son Cruz upstaged The Spice Girls during their sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York last night (February 18) when he launched into some break-dancing during the girls’ rendition of 'Mama'.”Yes, it seems the three year old thinks he’s a regular Michael Flatley, breaking into a spontaneous set of manœuvres during ‘Mama’ and that now-customary part of the show when the band bring their gormless spods out for a damp-eyed sing-a-long.
Unless of course it’s stage-managed. Nah? Nah. Anyway, none of this would mean a thing unless we had video footage. You’ll want to jump to about a minute and a half in.
Is that all you’ve got, son? Not the best dancing I’ve ever seen, to be honest. In fact to be honest it was fucking awful. You look a twat mate, yeah? Man up.

Share on FacebookWhat makes me laugh
is that they said they didn't cancel the tour because they weren't getting on, but because of family commitments. In fact, let me dig out what they said:
__________
Geri: "Actually it's gone on longer than planned because we thought we were only going to go to the end of January.
"After February everybody had commitments; kids had to go back to school and that."
__________
Waaaaaaaaaait a minute. So they hadn't worked that out when they let the concerts be booked? This means that either:
a) The Spice Girls are liars, or
b) The Spice Girls are incredibly stupid

Hey
isn't that really bad for the children? As they are young they can suffer severe ear damage that they could suffer for life... surely. I mean from the noise levels not the awful music. that too. but... well I was lead to believe that kids ears are easily damaged.
Bitches.
ps.

WHY
???
surely they don't need the money.
well..
it's probably not actually that loud on stage...the band will have in ear monitors (like headphones) so there probably isn't much in the way of amplification on the stage itself - it'd be quieter than out in the audience where the sound is directed at you!
Is he wearing a free Vodafone hat fomr when his Dad did those dodgy TV adverts with Gary Neville!??
Who exactly is buying tickets for this shitfest?
I can understand it for Take That, but the Spice Girls? Not the most endearing bunch , are they?
he looks a
prick
I'm going to go the opposite way and say it was.....
....cute. Definitely staged, but he's a really young kid and did a pretty good job.
But for fuck sakes, Poshie.....pay the fucking kid.
His pocket money for a month
is probably more than the GNP for some countries. Little bastard..
i pissed myself laughing
when i saw this clip, i don't give a damn he's only 3 years old, victoria + david beckham x coitus = lil' damien.
maybe bill hicks was right, the devil doesn't have the best tunes or the best dance moves. or the best hats for that point either.
i meant to say
bill hicks WASN'T right. sorry for that. ahem
