Whoa deja vu!

I just had a look to see if the new Spice Girls single was available online yet (no? Where's the famous Spice Fan Network when you need it?), and a headline caught my eye.

Thursday 11th October, 2007. "Westlife: There's no war with Spice Girls".

Waddawhat? Aren't they reporting that story about 7 years too late? As it turns out, no. In a startling coincidence, Westlife and the Spice Girls are both releasing albums on the 7th anniversary of their bitter chart war. Apparently, the Girls have now moved the release date of their album to avoid a war. They must be remembering that they came off second-best last time.

Kian Egan from Westlife described the Spice Girls as "running scared" (dickhead) and described Mel C as "not having anything nice to say about anybody" (stating the obvious). Mel C says that she's "now a fan" of the Spice Girls. A bad-weather fan, obviously; since back when she actually had a solo career she was anything BUT a fan of the SGs. Now that her entire solo career consists of some second-rate songs and about 50 fans in Denmark, she's the world's biggest fan of the Girls.
