The Spice Girls made a fresh dent in the BRIT Awards this year and rekindled the old spark by clinching the award for Best BRITs Performance of the Last 30 Years, courtesy of their 13-year-old performance of Who Do You Think You Are.
According to Contactmusic,
Viewers of British news show GMTV were asked to vote for their favourite BRITs moment to mark 30 years of the awards, and the Spice Girls’ 13-year-old showstopper came out on top, opening Tuesday night’s (16Feb10) event in London. The raunchy routine, which introduced the world to Geri Halliwell’s notorious Union Jack mini-dress, beat out performances from the likes of Sir Paul MCCartney, the Pet Shop Boys and Robbie Williams and Tom Jones’ bizarre Full Monty duet in 1998. Collecting the award from BRITs host Peter Kay, Halliwell and Melanie Brown thanked fans for their unwavering support.
I’m all for the Spice Girls and I’m glad they won the honor. So what if they were in a hurry to split the hell out of each other and rush into pseudo-anonymity while enjoying the top position, they’ll always be loved as a whole. Congratulations to the Spice Girls!
