Critics have raved about the reunion tour so far, find below reviews from publication around the world.
The first concert took place at the General Motors Place in Vancouver It was the first full concert in nine years involving all five members of the group.

TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL – Marsha Lederman

Canandian papers said that “The Spice Girls returned to the stage with the first concert of their reunion tour wowing fans with a tightly staged and ambitiously choreographed performance.”

WINNIPEG SUN – Jane Stevenson

Girl Power has aged surprisingly well, judging from the Spice Girls’ high-energy, fun and often racy kick-off to their reunion tour.

The hits-heavy set list was so cleverly choreographed and the Spice Girls’ energy was so infectious that their lack of vocal chops was hardly noticeable.

As we’ve known all along, the two Mels possess the best voices and everyone else has passable vocals.

CANWEST NEWS SERVICE – Amy O’Brian

It appears the Spice Girls haven’t lost their kitschy cool pop idol appeal. And the girls didn’t disappoint when it came to living up to their individual caricatures.

All five members have denied media reports of backstage arguing

As a group, the girls looked genuinely ecstatic to be performing together again. There were several group hugs and a few melodramatic looks of love shared between the members.

When the five were together on stage, though, their energy and enthusiasm was infectious.

Just like 10 years ago, the show wasn’t about great singing or dancing – it was about great entertainment. And the girls delivered the spice.

LONDON EVENING STANDARD – Pete Clark

There seems no diminution in the energy they are prepared to expend, or the lengths they will go to please the audience.

Watching these five tiny figures belting it out over two hours, and giving every impression of having a high old time in the process, one has to conclude that this is ebullient pop music of a very high standard, presented with panache, and highly unlikely to provoke any attendance at the refund window.

METRO VANCOUVER – Rob McMahon

The Spice Girls launched their world tour with a nostalgia-coated shot of pure energy.

The energy sagged briefly when Emma began the group’s new tune Headlines (Friendship Never Ends), which fell compared to the songs long-time fans came to hear.

Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown
The group sold 55 million albums and had nine UK number ones

But a host of costume, set and dance switch-ups quickly erased that lag.

The rest of the two-hour, 22-song set transformed nostalgia into an incredibly well choreographed show.

In short, the Girls’ performance was a refurbished, toned-down version of their original incarnation.

It was a pleasantly manufactured composite of late-’90s pop culture: all glitz, kitsch, and the determination that comes from five 30-somethings who may have traded their platforms for high heels, but still managed to make a laser- lit stage that much brighter.

THE TIMES (UK) – David Sinclair

If this show – colourful, energetic and wildly ambitious – was intended to cash in on past triumphs, there was certainly no stinting on the time, dedication and money spent on it.

And, despite the debate, the Spice Girls didn’t mime, from what I could tell sitting in the front row.

The Spice Girls have never been the world’s greatest singers or dancers, but they remain consummate entertainers.

Whether shamelessly pulling the sentimental levers with Mama or arriving, at last, at a raucous, celebratory encore of Wannabe, they performed with every ounce of strength in their legs and passion in their hearts.

The Spice Girls have opened their reunion world tour with a sell-out concert in Vancouver, Canada.

More than 15,000 fans watched Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell on stage for the first time in nine years.

Sunday’s gig, at the General Motors Place in Vancouver, marked the start of a sell-out tour which comes to the UK later this month.

The two-hour show saw the stars perform 22 tracks, including their nine UK number one singles, and new single Headlines.

They had eight costume changes during the evening, opening with Spice Up Your Life and dancing on raised platforms.

The group ended the concert with a rendition of Wannabe, their debut single, and a reprise of Spice Up Your Life.

In the coming months, the five will also perform in Los Angeles, San Jose, Las Vegas, New York, Cape Town, London, Madrid, Shanghai and Beijing.

They are also planning to play in Buenos Aires on a date to be confirmed.

Guardian
On Saturday, they could not be faulted for the gusto of their delivery, but for every unequivocally fantastic pop song like Stop or 2 Become 1 – the latter mysteriously brilliant despite being a song about sex that carries all the lubricious frisson of an episode of Balamory – there’s a heap of stuff like Holler’s vaporous cod-r’n'b or Mama’s Mother’s Day card gloop.
