Posh off!

OH bless her! Posh has decided she will NEVER sing with the Spice Girls again – because she wants to be a full time fashion designer.

To be fair, Victoria Beckham’s fashion foul-ups are probably a lot better known than her singing abilities.

I have always had a soft spot for Mrs Beckham. Regardless of the fact she was one fifth of the biggest girl band of the nineties, that her hubby earns half a million pounds a week, that she’s just finishing a multi-million pound tour – this woman seems continually trying to prove herself.

I genuinely hope turning to fashion proves to be a triumph for her…but even as I write this I can’t get the image of her looking rather like Sesame Street’s Big Bird on a Paris photo shoot, out of my head.

Let me know what you reckon.

Shes rubbish at singing no one will miss her.
She thinks she is better than she is.

[Haroon Memi]

Posh wanted to show her kids "mummy was a singer" what a load of rubbish, she can never sing!!!!! has a big mouth but no voice for singing!!!!

Good riddence to bad rubbish!

[Denis]

It is great that they are will no longer be in our sights night, and day, Thank God for small mercies !

[beachcomber]

poor "Posh" a tag name that doesnt suit her..a singing career that was more a miming career..walks like she has had an accident in her expensive underwear..and now she turns her back on the music industry..ahem.. an industry she was never really part of, except in her head. now fashion is on the cards...jusdging by her dress sense, she will be as good at is as she is singing.poor deluded Spice maybe.

[Irene]

"It's the last opportunity there will be to see the Spice Girls together."

You promise?

[john chambers]

Did'nt know she was ever in the music business. But doubtless this appalling role model will continue to spread her pouting scrawny body all over the press in garish outfits that could have been better designed by pre school infants.

[Bexster]

I was never a Spice Girl fan, but they were a huge part of music history. Whether she could sing or not is neither here nor there the brand worked and she is a very good business woman. I wish her all the success in the world with her future in fashion, I'm sure she will do well.

[Steve Gray]

She can't sing, can't dance, can't act and has the fashion sense of a clown and yet she earns millions from these lack of abilities!! Now that Beckham has been dumped by England lets hope we have finally see the last of these two media craving 'celebs'.

[m]

I struggle every month with bills etc , i have a lovely family, i work part time some evenings so im around for our child for school and school hols etc. The last holiday we had was 6 years ago but i still keep smileing and im happy. This woman has everything she can afford to just do school runs coffee morning girlie shopping cook dinner without having to rush off to work and many more things so why does she never look happy. What is missing?

[pat richardson]

I thought it was mel c and mel c that has ended the tour? When will this lady be content with what she has and enjoy the money she has.She should do something useful and spend her time with her kids.

[Bleak House]

Is that a promise, that she will never sing again? PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE, if so there is a justice in this world !!!!!
Which story is correct as I am getting a little confused? But het thats newspapers for you.
I heard the tour was axed because they didn't sell enough tickets to keep the Old Spice Girls going, not because Mrs la la BECKHAM wanted a change of career !!
As for her being a fashion designer........ what can I say? How can you dress a twig-let? watch this space!

[Mark]

Wow , thats the best news I heard all week...the walking clotheshanger is giving up singing and maybe she can give up being a model and just be a parent....
As for the spice tour I think all the fans got played ,those 5 just wanted some extra spending money ..

[jean]

give up music? she wasnt into it in the fitst place. the others carried her along as her voice was so weak. perhaps her "fashion" career will go the same way as her music in time and her career will be "full time mother".

[Pip Waller]

I suppose one good thing is these talentless
'supposed'singers might just disappear for good.
If Victoria Beckham aka 'Posh Spice' is as good a designer as she is a singer she will be out of business within 3 months.

The woman is a joke.

[Den]

Thank you so much for making my Sunday. What a relief that these fakers will never sing together again.

[Amanda]

Thank god for that with a bit of luck i am going to be able to open a newspaper without them 5 staring back at me

[Caroline]

If this was true, why don't the rest of the Spice Girls carry on without her? She isn't making any contribution to the band as she can't sing.

[Gary O'Mara]

She never 'sang' with the girls in the first place did she? How many solo bits did she ever have with any of their singles

[Jiny]

She uses her kids to get sympathy and publicity. Yet I reckon with regards to her parenting skills she can shake hands with her BFF Jordan. This desperate creature is just all me, me, me. What's missing in her life to make her smile and be happy? A sense of fulfillment. She's NOT a singer, she's NOT a fashion ikon, she's all AIR. And above all, she's a fashion victime who just puts on whatever someone else designes.

[Nick]

A woman of her non-existing "qualities" can never be inspirational. She's yet to prove herself to the world and that means not just by wearing expensive clothes - just because you can afford it. Or bragging on about having a singing career while never opening your mouth. It's easy to be portrayed as a successful business woman if you can afford to pay a whole bunch of advisers to do it all for you. Handbags? Sunglasses? Perfume? It's all been done BEFORE!! Full of hot air and publicity hungry that's all there is to her... Bring on someone original please!

[Sue Heywood]

Please. What utter rubbish. I am quitting the music business for fashion. She's been voted the worst dressed woman in 2007 and she can't sing a note. The only reason the stupid group are splitting up is because of poor sales for their concerts.

[Andrew Harrison]

Victoria Beckham has only ever "been in" one industry, the Victoia Beckham industry. David and the kids are merely neccessary accessories to that ultimate end. The sooner this pleb is out of the spotlight the better, both for her own family and the rest of of us who are sick of this talentless mountebank.

[lorraine]

how on earth did she get this far...mmmm yes married to an overated football star!
SPICE GIRLS WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER WITHOUT HER.
she cannot sing, looks blinking awful and not any genuine talent there whatsoever.
and certainly no role model with her anoresic look,wonder how embarrassed her kids will be when they get older and look at their moms pictures.........dreadful not seen a nice one yet!

[Lisa Thompson]

"I think for us it was about celebrating the past, enjoying each other and it's about our fans. It was the right time," said Halliwell.

For the fans - right sure the real fans will be overjoyed with the tour coming to a sudden halt. Looks like an alledged case of got a huge amount of money from the reunion already and they've ran with it. What about the fans now? Not that i'm one just do feel sorry for the people who have made thier travel plans, booked hotels and already paid out ticket money to see this lot on tour.

[Goldie]

Just feel sorry for all the fashion designers that have studied and worked hard to get were they are with there creative abilties and dedication having this wannabe muscleing in with her money just to hold onto the dimming spotlight

[Hamad Lone]

Who said that she was a musician? She should just stick to her silly pouts in public and dreadful fashion sense.

GO HOME DEARY AND LOOK AFTER YOUR BABIES AND GIVE YOUR MOTHER A BREAK !!

[Arturo]

Another talent lost then. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[karen]

You lot are actually wrong posh spice is a very good singer see clip below...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHENe3ZEZVs

She is actually very talented, i went to see the spice girls twice and the concert was out of this world, posh spice was amazing she has everything cept a loyal husband unfortunately, i really think she should divorce david make a go of the spice girls and get a new fella.

[Mr C Sence]

Oh she's a fashion designer now! How easy it all is! Hey presto! Hey presto, hail the art of relabelling and reinvention at it's finest so much so I have decided to become a NASA moon landing astronaut and renowned space explorer!

[maureen]

girls aloud,are much better then the spice girls,And always will be,We know they can sing,Posh go and goodbye,you are the weakest link

[karen]

To mr C sence

Girls aloud are good but they are only there for looks that's for sure... the spice girls were the first proper girl band to come out they showed that you don't have to be beautiful to sing, the spice girls are different, loud, exciting, and they put on a spectacular show at the MEN. Also they made it worldwide including america not many english bands can do that. Also the uk concerts sold out in 38 secs so that tells you how good they are.

And to say no-one likes posh well everytime she sang at the MEN concert she got huge cheers from the crowd and when she did her catwalk strut she looked amazing and got a huge cheer from everyone.

You lot might not like the spice girls but they will go down in music history as a great girl band and imo the greatest girl band ever i doubt any girl band will ever be as popular and good as them.

GIRL POWER :)

[J Gouldie]

Yea Arturo she's really gonna divorce the only thing thats kept her in the spotlight isnt she. and if she's such a good singer how come her solo career crashed and burnt?

[earl]

its funny how most of published comments are not nice including this cuddly columnist.i think it all boils down to one thing,MOST of you envied her and her husband'success.i never read anything both of them commented negative things to anybody,so they dont deserve your "rubbish"judgment.

[jade]

i think its for best because u can tell she is better at fanshion then singing and will do much better x

[karen]

To J Gouldie i was only saying she should divorce beckham cos he is gonna cheat on her again and when the beckham brand fades he is only gonna leave her and break her heart.

She is best to get out now and salvage some dignity.

btw she was way more famous than beckham when they first met i'm sure she could be again if she stayed in the band.

Just my 2 cents!

[Goldie]

Seems the only defence the noble defenders of The Beckhams and all manufactured singers and over hyped footballers have is that were jealous.
When the fact is were totally different people with a totally different set of values that do not admire spin doctor media rubbish and shiny new designer handbags.
Bottom line is were not jealous were just aware of shallow stuff that in the grand scheme of things reflects what is all wrong in our soceity

[Goldie]

Hmmn Karen your 2 cents are debatetable.
Firstly anyone with an ounce knows Girl and Boy bands have a very limited shelf life and as their manufactured receive very little money compared to talented musicians that write and actually sing their own material.
Plus Anyone paying attention to current advents know that the Spice(tasteless) girls are null and void no matter what Posh says and does and no they didn't split up cos Posh says she wants to become a fashion designer.
As for salvaging dignity that moments come and truly gone.
Unlucky

[karen wilson]

I never knew she was a singer to begin with

[karen]

Well goldie one thing is for sure the spice girls will go down in music history as the best girl band ever no debating that!!

You are right tho she doesn't have much dignity left as she has stuck by beckham even tho he went with another women *rolls eyes*

The spice girls will always be remembered, girls aloud will fade away and never be talked about 30 years down the line but the spice girls will fact!

[Carol]

re Victoria Beckham giving up singing for good
I THOUGHT SHE ALREADY HAD, YEARS AGO

[Dana]

I can't believe she came out and said the reason she wanted to do the tour was to prove to her two kids that "Mummy was a pop star once". How about getting some priorities right Posh, and proving to your kids that they're more important than your wannabe fashion career??

[goldie]

Aye Karen that maybe so but it doesn't say much for girl bands really does it espically when the majority of fans were children and judging off most comments here their hardly respected.

I cant think of any person of any worth expecting themselves to be taken seriously by listing their music influences as being the spice girls

One more thing since you describe them as a band could you tell me what instruments they were skilled in and did they write their own material?

[dick]

What a tragic loss to the music industry, I often think there was genually no begining to her talent

[karen]

@ Dana pop stars then, when i was at the concert i didn't see many kids, i have alot of respect for them and i don't care what anyone thinks.

I love the spice girls and they put on a great show, everyone at the concert loved them i am sad there not staying together.

[goldie]

Oh dear Karen "everyone at the concert loved them"
Yes they did thats why they paid money to see them
Your not very bright are you, people as a rule dont pay money to go see groups they dont like.
Fortunately your a minority as the rest of the world see them as a manufactured group that were told to say this, look like that, and sing what we tell you,like and i quote ZiggerZiggerAhh!!!
When asked what ziggerziggerahh means their response was "its whatever you want it to mean" how deep and profound is that*sniggers*.
Just like when they were asked what girlpower means and there response was "saying what you want and standing up for what you mean and doing what you want"
err dont wanna rain on your parade but we got plenty of words to describe that already and man power just wouldn't cut it.
They didnt even create their own group or indidivual names and just sung bubble gum music for an empty mindeed audience
bottom line is they suk and if thats the best girlsgroups have got to offer then it paves the way for talented female musicians with a sense of individuality, musical ability and a good vocal range to blow them outta the water.
They've set the bar pretty low!

[Nick]

Karen, grow up! Ever since these dummies split up 10 years ago, I’ve never noticed their "great cheesy pop music" being played anywhere. How's that for shaping the music?

As for being a "great band", they've just proved you right, didn’t they? Self-centred and childish money suckers who can't even stick to their commitments. Thanks heaven it’s over and this time for good I hope!

[gleno]

She did it for the ego not the kids..cant sing cant dance and cant dress to save herself or any one else..

[vivienne]

lets finish this once and for all anyone who thinks v beckham can sing needs hearing test anyone thinks she is pretty needs eye test how many times have u heard her sing solo NOT my cat sounds better she is also a crap mother and the kids spend far more time being raised by the grandparents VB crawl back into the hole u came out of and give us all a break u are a talentless moron hanging on the coat tails of people who have genuine talent like a leech

[vivienne]

oh and by the way who the hell is vb to give marriage advise to cheryl cole.vb only hung on to david after his extra marital romps as she knew she would be a total nothing without him.cheryl cole is famous in her own right without ashley as she is a genuine singer and part of a fantastic group.for someone to tell a woman to stay with her husband after he has had numerous romps behind her back AND START A FAMILY is a total disgrace.no woman should ever use a baby to try and cement her marriage.there are far too many one parent families in this world

[poshspiceguy]

I think people will always slate Victoira for anything she does but at the end of the day she may have been the least talked about spice when there started but now lets face it she is the most talked about women of all time so that proves alone that the lady has brains and the fact some of u lot have wasted your time having ago at posh on here proves she will always be one step in front of every body else so i think VICTORIA BECKHAM IS major xx
