'Life is a river, it's always flowing', 'jump on a bus, don't know where it's going' oh dear oh dear. 'Life is a river' is the cheesiest pseudo-philosophical pap I've ever heard.

It's a bit of fun and very uplifting! It's only a demo and possibly not a song that was ultimately going to be used. I like it a lot for what it is anyway. #teamJakeWild #thisisasongforus x

The bits which sound like a worse Mel B. She is teyna copy Mel's vocals sooo it kinda sounds like a duo rather than what used to be a band of five :/
Without the other teo it just lacks that punchy Spice music. |

I posted previously that I was worried the whole GEM project was going to be a disaster and I hate to say it but it looks like it is!
The YT channel that uploaded the track 'Song For Her' has been deleted and the girls have gone quiet which makes me think it may have been their comeback track which if so, the fact it has leaked will have totally screwed any plans for the official launch. The same channel also leaked Geri's new album in full. With Geri pregnant, the song leaked and getting at best a sh!t reaction I kind of hope they just forget about the whole thing. I have to say though I love the song and I find it funny that people are so caught up on the lyrics, they are cheesy and it's very 1997 but if they had of returned with a song like 'Shout Out To My Ex' they would just have looked like a couple of mums trying to reclaim their youth at a Karoke party on their way back from Asda. |

I wouldn't say the general reaction has been that bad! Well, it has been here of course. Reading through Popjustice forum though, it's getting more of a mixed reaction there. Amongst actual Spice Girls fans (see: DenDen) it's been mixed to positive!
'Song For Her' doesn't seem like it's intended to be used any more. Emma Bunton said this a few months ago: "You know, us girls love creating stuff. We went and had a laugh in the studio. It's not a single, it's just we were creating." The story goes, based on a mixture of insider information and fan theory, is that the song was supposedly intended to be a jingle for a planned reality show that the girls had in mind a while back. That show's concept being, to find replacements for Victoria & Melanie C. It's not properly known whether those replacements were intended to be permanent, or just a "come join us on stage for a one-off performance!" thing. 'Song For Her' lyrics is all about hard-working mums, so it does seem to fit the bill for the rumoured reality show. Either way, it seems that the idea was firmly put to bed (assuming it was true). Geri said this last month at the Attitude awards: "There's been a lot of talk about replacing Spice Girls members and I wanna share with you there is no way we could ever replace Sporty or Posh. They're one of a kind." The main reason the song has been deleted off YouTube will be because it's copyrighted material. Seeing as the girls have not launched properly yet, they wouldn't have been ready for a taster to be put out there by illicit means. Especially an unfinished demo track which is most likely scrapped. Mel B revealed on Australian TV that she's back in the UK next week and will be meeting up with Emma & Geri. She said: “We’ve got a few music ideas, a few songs to record”. Earlier this month Emma & Geri were photographed in a recording studio, so it seems it's still full steam ahead for them, even though Geri's pregnant. For them to be recording more music, six months on from the session that 'Song For Her' came from, seems like a positive sign to me that they've got intentions to actually release music properly (single(s) and/or album, who knows) - fingers crossed! It wasn't all resting on 'Song For Her'. I'll just be regarding 'Song For Her' as a fun taster, and look forward to when they put out finished music they want to be heard. Assuming they reach that point, these girls can be highly unpredictable!  For reasons unknown, some fans got their hands on 'Song For Her' months ago, and it caused a divide in the fan base because a lot of those fans were teasing & boasting about having it, all the while saying they wouldn't leak it (despite sharing it privately with whoever they wanted to). It was so frustrating. I was happy when it leaked because I was fed up of some of the fan base behaving horribly about it. |

I was fully anticipating this to be awful. Can safely say I'm pleasantly surprised by this, strong chorus and whilst Emma sounds flawless, Geri and Mel B sound half decent too. If the album was full of songs like this I'd be here for GEM as a three piece. We are coming to the back end of a year where All Saints have had a critically acclaimed top 3 album and headline tour so this could easily work with the right promo channels!

The lyrics. Omg. So inspirational
 There is a banging chorus in there somewhere! The verses though... Emma is literally the one carrying this!

Lovely performance of 2 Become 1 by Emma, with Robbie Williams! (Click the picture)
  I wish she'd not abandoned her solo career (it's 10 years to the month since she released her last album 'Life In Mono' ). I honestly prefer her vocals to Melanie C's, even though it's Melanie who is always celebrated as the singer of the group.
