Many of you are wondering - wait, this blog was completely dead, and now you're posting two in one day?
A few of you are wondering why the hell I'm posting Sporty Spice.
Because, guys, this is Sporty Spice. The best Spice. I will die on that hill.
Now, this 2012 performance (for Red Nose Day, I believe) got mixed reviews, mostly on wardrobe. Mary Magdelene should be dressed more modestly - but I give it a positive one. She sang the hell out of the song, and sincerely paid attention to the tone shift as the song goes on. Note the 3:00 minute part when she takes off her makeup.
Also, it was a rock opera in 2012, not a post-hippie musical from 1971, so settle down, people.
Also, "I've had so many men before, in very many ways" is literally a line in the song. Modestly? Modestly?!
Lest you think this was a one-off.
It wasn't. She was part of a television show called Superstar that was tasked with casting Jesus in a 2012 revival, and she played the part in a touring version of the show for more than a year. The song was legit a Top 20 hit on the UK Indie Chart!
This was a big deal.
Here is her original performance from Superstar.
