WHAT THE GIRLS SAID AFTER THE FIRST SHOW:

Geri: It went really well. I'm so excited - it feels like pure exhiliration! I made one tiny mistake and that was it. Everyone's saying that they were frightened I was going to fall off my skates, but I wouldn't have minded if I did. That's part of my character! I would have laughed it off and said: "Ooops!" I could see my little nephew Al watching the show. He had his mouth wide open. It was brilliant.
Victoria: It was absolutely wicked and only one fingernail fell off. At least my wig stayed on and my knickers didn't show! It feels so normal to be on stage that when I look out into the audience and see thousands of people screaming, it sometimes makes me think "What are you doing here?"
Emma: It don't know what to say! It was fantastic and I had a really good time, but it was a bit overwhelming and feel a bit quiet and numb now. I just want to go and sit down with my family. We did the show yesterday in rehersal, but the whole vibe changes when theres an audience! I was nervous about singing on my own, because I'm used to having four girls to support me. There are a few things I'd change, but overall it was amazing!
Mel C: It was the best night ever! I enjoyed it so much that I stopped concentrating during certain bits and I had a complete blank in the middle of "Spice Up Your Life". It's funny because I know that song like the back of my hand, but suddenly I couldn't remember the words! I soon got back into it, though.
Mel B: It was absolutely amazing! I felt so comfortable there. It was like being on my sofa at home. The stage is my area! It was really such a buzz and I absolutely loved it! It was more of an energy rush than "Istanbul" and the steps flowed better. It was a performance that said "Here we are, this is what we're doing and we're going to enjoy it!
