Can they really come back into our lives?

You know who I'm talking about. All those bands/singers who are suddenly making their 'comebacks'. Who do they think they are floating in and out of our lives quicker than Mark Holden can pull out a Touchdown?

"Backstreet's Back, Wanna Be, Baby One More Time, Oops I did it again, Say you'll be there." You must all recognise at least one of these songs? Sung to it, danced to it (you were too young to hit the town with your friends), so you just danced in your room with your hair brush bopping to the beats.... What, didn't everyone do that?

But what can these comebacks really offer to us? Us the listener, the people who buy their records and concert tickets?

Let's focus on The Spice Girls. They have announced their world tour starting at the end of the year (for tickets log onto ) and have assured us that it will be a night to remember for all, "We can't reveal too much, but we can say that it is going to be amazing!! We are so excited and can't wait to see you all." Their latest album Spice Girls: Greatest Hits is sure to hit the big time once again - but do you really think they deserve it?
The money, the fame - all over again?

Before you make that decision consider this. Growing up in a world without music, without platform shoes and without girl power.

The bitchiness, the fights, the fact that every time you got together with a group of friends you fought over which one of you was Baby Spice. What about when your world stopped just coz Geri Halliwell had announced her resignation from The Spice Girls?

Does it all remain a place to be reckoned with in your heart?
I mean think about what we would have stuck to the insides of our high school lockers if The Spice Girls weren't there to guide us through those dark days?

I know where my heart has lied for the past 10 years. And yes, they did leave us for a while, but the main thing is they did Wanna Be apart of our lives after all and now they're back Baby, One More Time.
