Roisin for the win! That's the one I couldn't think of.
I checked out "2 Become 1", and "Goodbye", but there was always harmonies on those.
I will always have a soft spot for "Goodbye," even though I don't like it much as a song. The CD single included their cover of the Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping", and thanks to that, Chris Butler had enough money to finish and release the Tin Huey album we were mixing at the time.

She has her own verse line solo in "2 become one." You can listen to the bulk of her solo lines (with some harmonies on some) here.

Plus, and please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they already do a reunion mini tour a few years back? I could see people being a little miffed on her not participating if this was the first go around...but she already did one.

Yes, they did! I saw one of the shows and it was so much fun.
And that's the thing - the Spice Girls are five, not four. There's a reason the group couldn't survive after Geri left. It just wasn't the same.

Didn't they reunite at the London Olympics?

I think I would still see them even if Victoria wasn't there. Since she really wasn't very important vocally I don't think it would be a big difference if she was missing. If Sporty wasn't there they couldn't sing half their songs. Honestly, they could put a cardboard cutout out on stage of Victoria making some fierce pose and that would be a good approximation of her contributions to the band. I've gotten the impression that she suffers from a bit of stage fright and/or anxiety and doesn't like to perform.

This story's a month old but I just came across it yesterday and can't believe that it's "news". According to this Guardian article, Victoria Beckham recently received criticism for a photo she posted showing her kissing her little preschooler daughter, Harper, on the lips. I respect different (ethical) approaches to parenting, but I'm having a hard time seeing what's wrong with a parent giving their kid a peck "on the lips", especially in what seems to me to be a cute and innocuous photo. Full disclosure: I'm not a parent, but I've seen lots of nieces and nephews and friends' kids interacting affectionately with their parents.

Yeah I saw that last month too! I kiss both my kittens on the lips and they're just shy of 3 and 5.5. It has never even occurred to me that there's anything wrong with it. This is one of those cases where if you see something sexual, I think you're the problem not the parents or kids.

I don't think there's anything wrong with parents kissing kids on the lips with it but I think the way the picture is framed is a little weird. There's something slightly sexual about the pic and I think that's what people are reacting to. The way Victoria is holding her head looks more like the way you do when you're going for a long, lingering kiss—not the kid of peck you see between kids and parents. And Harper is wearing very adult-looking aviator sunglasses while wearing pigtails and no shirt, which is a weird mix of little girl and grown up...the same formula you see in pageant kids. Anyhoo, I think it was all perfectly innocent but I definitely wouldn't have shared that particular picture because the way it's framed suggests that something was going on that I don't think was going on. When posting pics of kids on social media, I think everyone needs to err on the side of super cautious, not just celebrities.

I don't see anything sexual in it at all. Having said that, I do sorta agree with you about celebrities having to be cautious, except I would also say that they shouldn't post pictures of their children at all. It makes me so uncomfortable that these kids have their life exposed in such a way long before they can have an opinion about it, and everything on the internet is there forever in one way or another. And there is something viscerally gross about using your child as an extension of your own celebrity (although in general Victoria and David do seem like very attentive and loving parents. But still).
