What Really Caused Spice Girls To Collapse?

I was hoping if I could get serious and formal with all people for a minute. I’m going to stick my neck out here and confess that I love Spice Girls. While I prefer other artists that are far superior to Spice Girls like Taylor Swift, Spice Girls is awesome. But I have sincere concerns about the state of Spice Girls during the 90s thanks to late 90s and early 2000s music for ruining Spice Girls by putting in something that ruined the 90s girl group like Geri Halliwell left Spice Girls in 1998. Despite Spice Girls selling more than 55 million albums in a single decade making Spice Girls one of the most popular acts of the 20th century thanks to their number 1 smash hit 1996 single Wannabe, I just want to gain some insight from everyone here on Spice Girls's struggles during the 90s.

I loved Spice Girls's two albums from the 90s which includes 1996's Spice and 1997's Spice World because I always thought that Spice Girls would have a bright future.

But now, I get the same feeling that, in 1998, Spice Girls has severely gone downhill when Geri Halliwell left the group on May 31 of that year causing Spice Girls to struggle causing the late 90s moved on to other late 90s pop music like Backstreet Boys, NSync and Britney Spears later that year.

Undoubtedly, Spice Girls lost tons of their listeners after Geri Halliwell left the group in 1998 causing the music industry wants to forget about Spice Girls and stick with other 90s music like Mariah Carey. Spice Girls then reluctantly faded into obscurity between 1998 and 2000, as Spice Girls had to wait for 2000 to release their next album, Forever. This caused 1999 music to move on to Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and NSync. Because Spice Girls lost Geri Halliwell in 1998 causing Geri Halliwell moved to her solo career in 1999, by 1999, Spice Girls has reached rock bottom. This cause Spice Girls's third album, Forever released in November 2000 before the group has split up due to Geri Halliwell's absent causing 2000 music switched over to Britney Spears, NSync, Backstreet Boys and music from 2000 like Pink.

Because of this, Forever lost alot of money by the end of 2000 as the album sold poorly and got bad reviews as Spice Girls has split up before 2001 arrives making it the beginning of the 21st century. As 2001 enters the 21st century, Spice Girls disappeared before the 2001-2006 period arrived with music from 2001-2006 like Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Rihanna. But after 2006, luck came when 2007 enters the Spice Girls reunion. 2007 is where Spice Girls was reunite including Geri Halliwell and work on their Greatest Hits album and a new tour called The Return Of The Spice Girls Tour later in 2007. So in 2007, Spice Girls had a reunion by releasing a new tour, a Greatest Hits album and a new song called Headlines (Friendship Never Ends). So far, the Spice Girls reunion was designed to win back the entire music industry as well as their popularity including their old fans as well as new fans. But that never happened because 2007 music prefers other 2007 singles like Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend, Rihanna's Umbrella and Alicia Keys's No One. Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was supposed to make the revived 90s girl group's comeback. But the song never caught on during fall 2007. Plus, Spice Girls couldn’t capture a wider audience with older songs like Spice Up Your Life that the group had otherwise rereleased for the 2007 Greatest Hits album.

So by the end of 2007, the Spice Girls reunion was reached a new low for Spice Girls. The 2007 Greatest Hits album flunked on the charts, Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) was a critical disaster for 2007 and Spice Girls as the song performed very poorly and it received mixed reviews and the rest of the world tour was canned despite the tour was the most successful tour since Spice World tour before the group split up again in early 2008.

It appears that the majority of the entire music industry have moved on.

You see, in terms of the general public, young people don’t seem to care for Spice Girls, and adult listeners won’t take Spice Girls seriously. Worse, Spice Girls is unable to compete against other female artists from 1995-today like Britney Spears, Beyonce, Pink, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea.

I’m afraid that Spice Girls is facing a steady decline in relevance as the popularity of Spice Girls has greatly dwindled since 1998.

Not even the talk of the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony and a London stage musical, Viva Forever!, can save the group in 2012. I bet Victoria Beckham along with Geri Halliwell left the group in 1998 is the reason Spice Girls was crashed by the music industry causing mainstream music to stick with other mainstream artists like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus along with fan favorite artists like Avril Lavigne and Carrie Underwood.

Therefore-

What do you think caused Spice Girls to completely collapse?

Why has Spice Girls become has become a thing in the past while the entire music industry prefers other mainstream female artists like Britney Spears and Miley Cryus along with fan favorite ones like Shakira?

I was hoping if everyone here could be objective for a moment, and give any honest opinions on the root cause of Spice Girls's floppage.

I look forward to hearing your responses. Thank you all for listening.
