Spice Girls - Olympics 2012 documentary

A compilation video showing the Spice Girls journey to, during and after their sensational Olympics performance in 2012 in London. It starts with the rumours before the olympics, followed by rehearsal footage and a video edit I've made of the performance itself. The second half of the video is a compilation of the Spice Girls talking about everything surrounding the olympics performance.
I couldn’t use the Alan Carr footage for copyright reasons.
00:00 Rumours and rehearsals
13:00 Olympics performance
17:49 About the experience

to sing and stand in platform heels on a moving car is kind of amazing, also i LOVE the concept of the lighted taxis

[@AgentAO7]

I can’t imagine that Olympics Closing Ceremony without them! They were the highlight of the night! It was actually THE Spice Girls featuring The Olympics.. 😅

21:00 World famous, sold millions of records... Sure, the main costume was custom made, but still sat Super Glueing jewels/sequins onto a pair of shoes for a once in a lifetime show herself. This epitomises how these women are still pretty well grounded, which is wonderful to see. Great work on putting the video together!

💞💓 Love Mel B 💓💞

[@jennifersmith3409]

Mel C will always be my favorite... Even now she is so easy going, kind and appreciative. I love her.

[@EvanEvans9]

So impressed with this video, as a fan, I know that this can't have been easy to compile and must have taken hours of research! Some of these interviews even I had completely forgotten! Nice one! Great work! 😍

[@CrystalEye90210]

I’ve been doing my research for every video I have all together. I’ve spend a lot of time last year watching everything I could find anywhere from 1994-now and categorising it in files for many different video ideas. So I basically have that done now (thank god, I was so over it haha) and can focus on making videos which is more fun 😆 I have to say though, for some reason this video was the most difficult one to make up until now. The footage was difficult to arrange and string together

I can't fully express how much i love your videos of the girls! Such great work thank you from all of us hardcore Spice Fans✌🏼🇬🇧

You’re welcome! I love making them, but they take a crazy amount of time to make so it’s really nice to see that other people enjoy them too

[@SBKdawg]

I love to be in the ‘hardcore Spice Girls fans’ group. 💗💞💓

[@jeniestra.]

What a great work you did with this video. I remember I cried when they appeared in the ceremony and said to myself, this is the last time they will all be together, this is their goodbye. It was an amazing show.

[@gorfsixtyfour4030]

I’ve never been so proud of our girls than this performance!! Wish they did more of these special one off performances more. Like just a huge one off stadium concert that’s released on dvd

Why am I only watching this now? Wow, amazing edit! Brought back so many memories. I didn’t remember VB talking about Emma comforting her just before the performance 💕

[@monicalynne8177]

Going all the way back to 1984’s Olympics, the Spice Girls performance outshined all other acts! With the exception of Whitney Houston’s song, “One Moment In Time” which was done for the 1988 Olympics, no other act has come close to “Olympic domination” than the Spice Girls!

Thank you for putting all these clips together. I loved this video. I was *way* too old to be a real Spice Girls fan first time around but now I am even older It feels OK to love them, and I think this was when it started. It was just such a great moment at the closing events.

[@WorldwideExperiences]

Thank u so much for this video ! I can’t get enough of this performance and everything regarding this moment, it still gives me goosebumps ! And here I found some footage that I didn’t saw before so thank u ! I’ll be coming back here to see it again a lot ! I guess I’ll be obsessed with this moment my whole life ! 😻😻😻

Posh at 17:27, lol she did her signature point but was a little scared so grabbed onto railing. Love the spice girls

[@jenna443]

I mean technically they weren't going to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympics 😅 love the vid x

[@jollyfighter7319]

The third interviewer never mentioned the opening ceremony, he asked about if they were going to be part of the Olympics.

[@mortalsfoe6333]

scarys lyrics in this are iconic, but babys adlib on "gotta get with my frienndds" - fucking classic

[@galegorgeous8857]

10:24...I think this is the first time I've actually heard Posh do the shouting party in Spice Up Your Life

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

Because her mic was turned up lol

[@brandonaldaymachuse6669]

Everyone but Posh looked like they were living every second of this. I think Victoria was nervous of falling off the car.

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

For someone who was nervous, she was looking fierce as hell on that cab with her dress and hair flowing in the wind

[@dontstart8440]

I’m not quite sure, was Melanie C approached?

In Mel Cs autobiography she says that Victoria was truly terrified, which was a major reason why she doesn’t want to do it anymore. 😢

[@jonnuanez2843]

Mel C seems to be the group spokesperson. She speaks the most, or at least in the clips I see.

[@CrystalEye90210]

Mel C does the most interviews because she has albums to promote. Geri, Mel B and Emma don’t do many of those and so they aren’t asked about Spice Girls as much. And with Victoria interviewers tend to forget that she was a Spice Girl and/or feel like she does more important stuff now. Unless she get’s interviewed in the US, thats when she get’s asked about spice girls sometimes

[@jonnuanez2843]

@@CrystalEye90210 Thanks!

[@tanithjohnson2802]

I can't remember when this happened but it was amazing and soo the original girl power Spice Girls they came out the around the same time Nsync and Backstreet Boys they each had pride and respect in their country and History Ginger Spice with her union Jack dress and the girls were all British. Now all you are hearing WAAAAGH and winger and down with the Monarchy. Well I say nostalgia is wonderful the 90s was a great time for a everything I want to back hopefully hopefully the Spice Girls can travel more and come to the Australia some day

[@C0C0deluxe]

They ALL knew they were signing on to preform at the Olympics. They had to act coy and like they didn't know, so it could be a surprise.

[@Constantin9va]

Mel C was not even APPROACHED!

OMG i Loved this ‼️ Melanie C always denying it ‼️‼️‼️ Same as 2007 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ soooo #SpiceGirlsReunion2022 🤣🙌🙌🙌

[@che3663]

I think she's just good at keeping secrets and unfortunately she gets asked a lot since she does a lot of interviews promoting her solo work. But I think she genuinely was reluctant on the 2007/08 reunion and the 2019 reunion. She's the reluctant spice because she's the one who actually has a solo singing career. But the others know they can't do it without her. all of their songs are not the same without Melanie C's parts and her adlibs are always amazing. I love her!

[@markk4473]

Mel c can lie, very convincing 😂 I guess she was approached last minute and she just rises to the occasion
