"Christmas In Spiceworld Tour" was a sell out arena tour that ran for eight shows in Manchester and London, England during December of 1999. The tour occured between the albums "Spiceworld" and "Forever". The Spice Girls debuted three new songs from the "Forever" album sessions on the tour - "Right Back At Ya (Pop Version)", "W.O.M.A.N" and the future number one single "Holler". The performed version of "Right Back At Ya" differed from the version that later appeared on the album. Rather than a Darkchild-produced R&B song, it was a "Spiceworld" - esque pop song. A studio version of "W.O.M.A.N" never surfaced. It was written by Matthew Paul Row Bottom, Richard Fredrick Stannard and the four spice girls after Halliwell left the group in may 1998. This is considered the most infamous unreleased Spice Girls song. The song was meant to be released on there third album but after it was decided that the third album would have a more R&B influence, the song was cutfor it was considered that the bubble-gum pop sound didn't fit in with the rest of the album. "Right Back At Ya" was originally written and produced by the spice girls and eliot kennedy whom they have worked with before on singles such as "Say You'll Be There" but it was remixed by Darkchild so it would fit in with the rest of the album. This offended Kennedy and he labeled the final piece another "boring, plodding R&B song". |

History and General Information
"Christmas In Spiceworld Tour" was a sell out arena tour that ran for eight shows in Manchester and London, England during December of 1999. The tour occured between the albums "Spiceworld" and "Forever". The Spice Girls debuted three new songs from the "Forever" album sessions on the tour - "Right Back At Ya (Pop Version)", "W.O.M.A.N" and the future number one single "Holler". The performed version of "Right Back At Ya" differed from the version that later appeared on the album. Rather than a Darkchild-produced R&B song, it was a "Spiceworld" - esque pop song. A studio version of "W.O.M.A.N" never surfaced. It was written by Matthew Paul Row Bottom, Richard Fredrick Stannard and the four spice girls after Halliwell left the group in may 1998. This is considered the most infamous unreleased Spice Girls song. The song was meant to be released on there third album but after it was decided that the third album would have a more R&B influence, the song was cutfor it was considered that the bubble-gum pop sound didn't fit in with the rest of the album. "Right Back At Ya" was originally written and produced by the spice girls and eliot kennedy whom they have worked with before on singles such as "Say You'll Be There" but it was remixed by Darkchild so it would fit in with the rest of the album. This offended Kennedy and he labeled the final piece another "boring, plodding R&B song".

Act 3: It's Christams Includes: "Viva Forever", Christmas Medley: "Merry Christmas Everybody" / "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" and "Wannabe (reprise)". Before "Viva Forever" church bells can clearly be heard before the song this act as an interlude, the song itself is done as normal. The Christmas Medley is performed just like the originals, at the end of the song Melanie C pretends to be crying saying "I Don't Wanna Go !" then Emma asked the crowd they want then to go when Melanie G says she has an idea when the centre platform rise and the reprise version of "Wannabe" is performed, before the song finishs the girls have made it over the the small stage they entered from and fall down through the lift they came up from.
A quire performs with the spice girls during "Mama", "Goodbye" and "Viva Forever"
