it's so crazy... today's the time for getting toronto concert. I was tryin to help my bro getting 4 tickets. So at 10:00 am EST i started refreshing the page like crazy.. then i finally had my chance to enter the code... after the search i got NOTHING at all (only 30 seconds from 10:00). I retried for like 20 mins and finally I had to accept the fact that the concert was "sold out" in less than a min (according to lots of people on the Denden forum.. many of them couldn't get anything after a min).

so i was hopeless and thinking about whether i would be chopped into pieces by my bro. Good lord I kept playing with ticketmaster (while I was so depressed), then all of the sudden I saw they added a new date (feb 4th) around 7:30ish!!! So I searched three times and finally got something my bro would want .

Damn it's so crazy...

[stickyrice]

I hope my mom got my tickets for the toronto show... she better!!! I told her this can be my Christmas gift!!

[bluegie]

i hope your mom would be able to get one for you .

Side-story. I called my bro and leave a message telling him that I couldn't get him any tickets at all in the beginning (at 10:20ish). Then I got the feb 4th tickets and I left him a msg again (this time of course with a happy tone). During his first break he listened to my FIRST msg and he almost wanna cry. LOL. I dun really mean to scare him off in the first place.. But I didn't know that ticketmaster would put feb 4th concert on the web that quick .

Has anyone heard the 30 second clip of Headlines yet? I'm not that impressed. As for as ballads go, it really doesn't compare to their others.

However, I recently read that they will releasing their song W.O.M.A.N. as a double A-side to Headlines, which seems odd since I haven't seen it on the tracklist or on the official website. It might just be a bull crap rumor, but I would love for it to be true, as I think they should have used an upbeat track as their comeback song.

Headline's seemed very bland (Thankfully, it was Geri Heavy ) I thought the other new song was Voodoo? Not heard of W.O.M.A.N

Voodoo is the other album track, and that's why this other rumor seems false to me. It didn't say anything about W.O.M.A.N. being on the album, but rather on the single as an A-side (but A-sides are almost always featured on albums). W.O.M.A.N. was performed on tour during the Forever era, but it had never been studio recorded to my knowledge. That's why this is just a rumor though, I pretty much doubt it completely.

[Zeke.]

W.O.M.A.N is going to be on the Headlines single.

I also saw the track listing somewhere else that included W.O.M.A.N and it was reliable but I can't find it now!

[LEOyumi]

Have you guys already heard Headlines, the full song?
For me it's awesome. So beautiful! Such a great song, their voices are awesome and all.. Can't wait for the video!

And I hope I can go to one of their concerts. Probably the one in Argentina, as it seems they won't come to Brazil.. =/

[bluegie]

I'm currently keep repeating it on my computer...

all I can say it.. OMG... finally a real spice five song!!

(but I kinda feel sad that Mel B doesn't have her solo part except the very end sentence)..

[Cyria]

I wish they'd done a more energetic track. Headlines is nice enough but rather bland, IMO.

It's really nice, but maybe a little bland. I like the arrangement, though; it's cool to think that this is what the Spice Girls would have sounded like if they had continued on together. I'm glad to hear Geri and [particularly] Victoria singing. Geri's voice has matured so much.

I heard the whole thing last night for the first time. It's pretty good, and would make a fantastic album track, but as a single (and their comeback single no less), it's a little underwhelming. It's hard to complain, since them reuniting even to tour is enough for me to be satisfied, but I'm just hoping that Voodoo and the now confirmed studio version W.O.M.A.N. are good. I heard Voodoo is an uptempo track and I've already heard W.O.M.A.N. live so I know it is as well. I hope the studio version is even better, because the original wasn't half bad.

I think the Victoria's Secret ONLY promotion is really a poor idea though. The preorders are already closed and there are 600,000 confirmed preorders, which is good, but c'mon, why make it exclusive there? The official release at other retailers isn't until January, if I'm not mistaken. At least we don't have to worry about a leak hurting sales, since, you know, almost every song is old I'll probably be buying the Japanese Deluxe Edition though, but I'll wait until I find out what the US special editions are going to have. I'm hoping for a remix CD or something like that, and of course a DVD with all their videos as well. I'd give all those up to have them re-record the vocals to their old songs though. That would be the greatest thing of all (besides a new original album).

There actually is a remix CD. The UK Special Edition comes with the hits CD, an Instrumental CD, a Remix CD, and a bonus DVD.

I actually just saw it last night when I went on Wikipedia. The picture of the box set looks absolutely amazing and I'll most certainly be buying it. I just hope it isn't too expensive, as I went to CD Japan and the price for the Japanese 3CD+DVD+Bracelet Edition was around 9000 Yen. That's far too expensive for me.

[bluegie]

Well, that gift box edition is about $70 - 80 CDN.. It's not too bad except lots of people (esp guys) think the box is too pink.. LOL

Personally I dun think the box is that ugly, except I dun have interest on the instrumentals + remix cds.. Besides I'm sure that my brother is gonna buy it. So why dun I just buy the CD+DVD version and let him send me the mp3s of those instru + remixes?

Edit: I just re-read evolusean's post. I think everywhere has the gift box edition, not only UK.

[Weslicious]

Uck, When I saw 'remix CD' I got sooooooooo excited.
But their all old mixes.
And as I'm not fussed about instrumentals I'm just gonna buy the CD+DVD and the Headline's single. It'll hopefully save me a few quid too

[bondingo]

So does this mean that the US is going to get the box set as well? I certainly hope so. If we do, it will probably be a crapload cheaper too, considering music in this country is usually much cheaper than in others. Unfortunately, retailers won't even get the album until January since Victoria's Secret decided to be moronic and only release it there (and I assume it's only the regular edition). I used to like that store too
