Ps I'd like to say I agree that Emma was more experimental based on the Free Me album alone. Also her voice is pretty decent she is like a modern day Olivia Newton John in terms of vocals.

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. I mean... you call me deluded but then you type all of that... I CANNOT I cant even take your comment seriously, sorry. Let's move on before I have to type a bloody essay here, and I'm too tired, there's a pandemic out there happening and life's too short |

I rather hope in this series that Geri goes to meet a nice dominatrix who...lives on a mountain or whatever. That way, maybe we can finally hear that song she recorded a long while back about spankings. Certainly I can't be the only one who remembers this. It was so hot, she had to record it in her bra? Yeah. That I've gotta hear.

Episode 2 was cute, she was so enthusiastic about climbing that mountain
I just want the songs though. I hope she reveals how they are to be accessed soon. |

Jeez, Gerita alone in the mountain with that scruffy Daddy. Geri is one of us ❤️😍
I love the new episode. Still not connecting with the music though. Hope with a few more listens I’ll like it. |

I thought she said in her Insta live that the songs were going to play at the end of each video? Technically, a small bit of Love and Light does play at the end of this one...so I really hope that's not what she was referring to.
As to the video itself, it's cute. The photography is honestly excellent. Besides some audio glitches toward the end of her interview (which would have been an easy fix...), her team's doing a good job. In terms of storytelling, there's part of me that wishes a few minutes were spent at the start of this one...reintroducing her family as characters in this series...seeing where she lives...talking about what she's doing. Instead...it's a bit...'okay, we're goin' up a mountain!' My major disappointment is the new version of Man on the Mountain being used. What I liked about the version we've previously known was the combination of guitar and dancey elements. I always found that one really beautiful. It's probably one of my three favorites of her recent-ish material. The new one robs it of the fun. I guess I'm going to have to grin and bear it cause this is seemingly the official version. I can remember Geri also scaled down Back in Business at one point. So. I hope she hasn't gone through and stripped a bunch of her songs of their energy in some attempt at maturity. At least it sounds like Love and Light has been untouched. |

It's all very random and too fast to process without going a bit 'wtf have I just watched' but I'm glad if this is a way for her to share new music. I don't expect the series to do much outside her circle of stans, but surely better than nothing at all, or see those songs been left on a shelf.

Just watched and all I kept thinking was 'why?'. It just has no narrative and connection to the Queen Elizabeth video. If it had started with Bluebell challenging her to climb a mountain or some reason for doing it it might have made more sense. It just felt like I've got nothing better to do and oodles of money so I'll hop in a helicopter and climb a mountain.
It was nice to see a bit of personality from her I guess. I'd rather just have the music though, will see if it gets uploaded tomorrow I won't hold my breath though as wouldn't she have stated that herself? This post has been edited by sammy01: 15th November 2020, 06:31 PM |

I'd rather just have the music though, will see if it gets uploaded tomorrow I won't hold my breath though as wouldn't she have stated that herself? Yeah. My general feeling watching this was I was watching little selected clips from a series...not watching the series itself. I think it'd be nice to have a few more characters in the mix...and hopefully future installments will get there. Beats me if her husband wants in this...but Bluebell and Geri's mother would seem to be good additions to have around. I get that Geri's not wanting to do the usual train wreck/family drama reality TV thing with this. But having women of multiple generations of the family in the mix would seem to add to the vibe she's going for. I did think she came across well in the video. I saw she posted something on Insta about uploading a "hangover" to Youtube on Tuesday. I assume that'll be the song? Both Man on the Mountain and Love and Light are featured in this episode...so...kinda makes me wonder which we might be getting. Man on the Mountain, I assume. |

The first episode would have been a great set up if it had Bluebell writing down some challenges folding them up and putting them in a jar. Geri doesn't know what they are and picks one out at the start of each episode in front of Bluebell. "Ok so today I'll be...... learning to be a bee keeper haha' or 'climb a mountain'. Then we could get her taking a pic of video at the end of each episode to show Bluebell. This post has been edited by sammy01: 15th November 2020, 08:06 PM |

I like the new mix of that track.
Surely the full version without her talking will be made available. |
