WHAT THE GIRLS SAY:

Geri: Exhilarating! Fantastic! I couldn't ask for anything better. It felt like complete theatre. And I only made one tiny mistake in my dancing!
Victoria: It was really, really good. The wig stayed on and the knickers didn't show! It's funny - I tihnk of myself as so totally normal, but then I get up on a stage and there are thousands of fans screaming at me and I think, what's going on? It was good fun!
Emma: It was absolutely fantastic and I really enjoyed it! There are a few things I'd like to do differently tomorrow, but I'll think about all that later. Funnily enough, I'm feeling a bit quiet and numb now. I'm sitting here with my family and I don't know what to say!
Mel C: It was brilliant. I was so nervous beforehand, but once I got up there it felt totally natural. I wanna get back up on stage and do it all again right now. I can't wait for tomorrow night!
Mel B: Absolutely amazing! When I go up on stage, I feel so comfortable that it's almost as if I'm in my own comfort zone at home in my front room! I absolutely love it! It's a good job that the dance routines are imprinted in my head because I felt like I was doing my own thing all the way through it. Luckily I was doing the right steps along with the others - I didn't know why, but I was just doing it. At the same time I was doing my own thing on top of that! It was such a buzz, SUCH A BUZZ!
