Spice Girls need computer power to boost their weak voices

When The Spice Girls announce their reunion tour, there is a intriguing secret they will no doubt be keen to keep from fans.

They won't be belting out their songs just by Girl Power. . . but with the help of Computer Power.

 

For while the showbusiness world eagerly awaits their return, aides closer to them have been less enthusiastic about their vocal abilities.

The Spice Girls in 1997: Ten years on, they are concerned about their voices

 

 

So Ginger, Scary, Sporty, Baby and Posh are going into the studio to pre-record the songs for their tour - in order to mask the failings of their own live voices.

 

On stage, they will employ a new hi-tech system which will present those digitally-enhanced recordings as their own voices.

 

It works by taking the singer's live voice on stage and electronically comparing it to the perfect vocal sounds that have already been recorded in the studio.

 

When the girls sing out of tune on stage, the mistakes in their voices are instantaneously corrected - in less than a tenth of a second - by computer to perfect the pitch and tone. And it is this remastered "virtual voice" which belts out across the arena. The girls' vocals are altered so quickly that it will appear the resulting perfect voices are live and their own.

 

The system is not miming as such, because they are not just mouthing music to a backing track.

 

But the voices of Ginger (Geri Halliwell), Scary (Melanie Brown), Sporty (Melanie Chisholm), Baby (Emma Bunton) and Posh (Victoria Beckham) are actually changed to make them better.

 

"As they sing, the computer program corrects the mistakes so that the sound comes out as the desired sound - so they appear to be able to sing really well live," said an industry source. The system is being seen as a godsend for Posh - who is known for her particularly weak singing voice.

 

There have even been suggestions that while they are short or rehearsal time, the girls will use the computer enhancement to make sure they can perform as soon as next Sunday at the Concert for Diana at Wembley.

 

A Spice Girls spokesman was adamant that detailed touring logistics which would cover the use of live vocal enhancement had not yet been discussed, adding: "They all have great singing voices."

They're back... Spice Girls to play London in December (and earn £10m each)

Seven years after splitting up, the Spice Girls have announced a world wide comeback spectacular.

The group, including Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton fell straight back in sync, striking familiar poses for the world's media.

 

 

 

The reunion tour, which is set to hit London on December 15 and take in Madrid, Koln, Las Vegas, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires among others (scroll to bottom for list of dates and locations) will certainly be lucrative for the Spices.

 

They are expected to pocket about £10 million each.

 

Mel C said of their reunion: "We wanted to say thank you to our fans. It just feels very right for us."

Posh lead the charge in a revealing corset and skinny jeans while new mother Geri opted for a more demure look in a maxi dress.

Mel C and pregnant Emma opted for all back, while Mel B hit a low fashion note with an ill-fitting red pencil skirt.

 

The world's media were treated to a video montage at the 02 Arena, formerly the Millennium Dome, of some of the band's Number One hits.

Geri enjoyed the moment, taking pictures of her fellow bandmates and the crowd with a camera.

The group said they would not be performing at this weekend's Concert for Diana.

 

Princes William and Harry were said to have asked them to attend the anniversary event.

 

But the band said they could not take to the stage so soon because Emma was about to have her baby.

 

Mel C said: "We would have loved to be there this weekend. It's just unfortunate timing."

Victoria said there would be a creche on the tour to accommodate the seven Baby Spices the band members will have between them once Baby Spice gives birth.

 

Posh said: "We're definitely going to have a huge creche. Our priority is going to be our families. We want to have fun.

 

"That's one of the many reasons for this, for our children to see what we used to do."

 

Geri said of the reunion: "Obviously it's nostalgic. But equally, if new fans want to come along, that's fantastic.

 

"I like to think our songs are universal and they are timeless. Hopefully, the young'uns will like it too."

Mel B, 32, said of the press conference: "This is very civilised. We've really grown up, haven't we?"

The girls are set to step back into the spotlight together

 

The system is not miming as such, because they are not just mouthing music to a backing track.

 

A Spice Girls spokesman was adamant that detailed touring logistics which would cover the use of live vocal enhancement had not yet been discussed, adding: "They all have great singing voices."

 

All of the Spices, with the exception of Sporty, have seen their solo music careers collapse or come close to failure.

 

 

A statement has promised: "Given the band's unique history, you can be sure to expect the unexpected!"

The Spice Girls were all unknowns when they answered an advert in The Stage newspaper.

Now they are millionaires, aged from 31 to 34, and will soon have seven children between them.

 

They will hope their reunion follows the success of Take That's, rather than the likes of E17, who recently attempted a comeback.

Rumours that the Spice Girls could be getting back together surfaced after some of the band were spotted dining out together.

Melanie C, who has enjoyed the most successful solo career, was the last to sign up to pop svengali Simon Fuller's masterplan.

 

The band's debut single, Wannabe, was released in 1996 and was followed by a string of Number One hits.

 

The Spice Girls parted ways in 2001, after continuing on following Halliwell's sudden exit from the group.

That's because you've grown up and can see them what they really are (hopefully the same as most of their fans, but I doubt it).;)
