I guess I'm a few days late on this, but I finally watched that 30 minute Instagram live (...which is now on a guy's Youtube). It's so odd that even after a 30-minute video, I'm still a bit unsure about what this is exactly...though I guess being mysterious is part of the intended rollout?
Also. I took the Queen Speaks video to be a teaser of what's to come...but it's actually one of the 13 episodes? That's what I got from her Instagram live, anyway. So...are these just going to be little bite sized episodes? A few minutes each? Also...to hear her describe it, it sounds like the music will just be heard in the end credits of her videos. It'd be nice if the songs could at the very least get their own individual Youtube uploads? She handled the Live in a fairly odd way, really...constantly saying she's taking a look at her viewer questions...but rarely answering them. (her inspirations are...Tom Hanks and Octavia Spencer...?) If she were to honestly sit down and do questions and answers about her life and career like Mel C has done this year, I think I'd actually enjoy that. She's honestly lived a very interesting life. Granted, there are things I think she'd probably rather not discuss at this point... |

I’m still a little unclear about what the purpose of this is, but I suppose there doesn’t have to be a particular point
 https://www.instagram.com/tv/CHdhIR9Ag-1/?i...id=f18yyfhy4cg7 I’m most curious about how she intends to make the songs accessible. |

As long as they are accessible though right. :
 And in good quality. I'm hoping all will be released together as an album at the end of all this.

I mean she would be mad not to stick them together on album. With the way the chart is now she could get herself a cute top 20 album with a cd, vinyl, cassette release especially in Feb when 4k will get top 10.

It's whether she will do it herself as she doesn't seem to be able to get a label to release an album for her... I wonder if it's because of her expectations as I really don't understand why Emma can get a deal and Geri can't!? |

Emma is the general publics favourite spice girl. |

She is a bit of a Kylie ffs Sammy get a grip She wishes.I agree she is more popular than Geri, however Geri sold quite significantly more than Emma so you would think she would appeal more to a record company than Emma does regardless of likability... Madonna is seen as very unlikable never stopped her being a power horse when it came to record sales. |

Madonna is seen as very unlikable never stopped her being a power horse when it came to record sales. I was talking about in likability factor when comparing Emma to Kylie not about as artists or selling records. Emma falls into that category with the general public where they smile say 'ah Ive always liked her' when they see her on TV, Holly Willoughby and a few other spring to mind too. Geri gets a very negative reaction when on TV. Neither has a big hard-core fan base so it's easy to see why Emma that the general public like has a record contract over Geri who generally is off putting to the general public. |

This is all very true. Emma might have not reached the hights of Ms Halliwell back in 1999/2000, but certainly she has managed to mantain a much more likeable profile in the UK at least. |

But that’s easy when you’re bland af. I’m not a Gerita fan, but I do recon that she has taken risks many times, when Emma played safe (put it on, put it on 😂). Emma is fish and chips, Geri is mo fo fusion cuisine! |

LOL I mean it would have been a perfectly adequate insult but not when we are in a Geri forum lol Her solo works have always been safe and bland, only her marketing and branding her been adventurous. You cant say that about Bunton who has at least experimented really well with different sounds and made it her own. Gerita copied the Spice Girls sound and release strategies in her work ahha This post has been edited by Mr.X: 13th November 2020, 11:23 AM |

Not to mention the Geri of today runs at the first sight of flopping or underperforming. She has 13 songs but here we are her sticking them on youtube after some bizarre vlog stuff. That isn't brave.

They’re all bland by themselves. That’s why none of them will ever be as big as the Spice Girls.
But they’re all good women and I love them all to bits. That said, saying Geri was a copycat and Emma experimental is totally deluded. Emma has such a bland voice, Geri can’t sing but she’s got personality. The Free Me era was mostly a manufactured thing that sounded amazing because her manager / ex-lover wanted her to be the next vintage girl. And wasn’t even that serious. Some songs have great arrangements but there’s no big voice to sustain that. If you listen to Goin’ Down and Ga Ga at least Melanie C voice is credible and not just a gimmick. So, again, Geri might be the worst singer ever in terms of technical approach, but at least she conveys some feelings with her texture. |
