The trainwreck soon to be known as the great Spice Girls Tour Debacle of '07 has only just begun, and already the ladies are fending off allegations of lip syncing through their show.

The reformed five-piece wowed the sold-out crowd of 16,000 with hit after hit, but were accused by some critics of actually miming to a backing track.

However, a spokesperson for the group has dismissed the criticisms, saying, "All of the girls sang live. "There is a click track for the band to keep them in time, which is standard, but all of the girls' vocals were live.

Well, let's see here. According to the Daily Mail, the show consisted of 22 songs, eight costume changes, and a troupe of semi-clad male dancers. And this would be performed by a group of ladies who have done little else in the past 10 years besides intermittently getting pregnant and suffering eating disorders. So, going by my calculations (22 x 8 / 5 + 10 = A) not only did they not sing, but they should probably be dead by now. At the very least this is some serious bullshit, and at the most a cover-up on scale with the moon-landing.
