FINALLY! Hope she actually releases it and releases an album over here!

Posted by: pippa Sep 6 2013, 10:52 AM

Im sure her fans will welcome new music from her, but i can see a massive massive flop for her.

Posted by: Simon. Sep 6 2013, 06:12 PM

SO EXCITED cheer.gif

Posted by: Silver Rocket Sep 6 2013, 06:19 PM

Oh goodness. laugh.gif

Posted by: Liаm Sep 6 2013, 06:45 PM

She's a judge on Australia's Got Talent at the moment, so she's probably got potential to do pretty well over there!

Posted by: d__ Sep 7 2013, 10:32 AM

She's gonna be a flop.

Posted by: slowdown73 Sep 8 2013, 05:27 PM

I reckon she will flop big time...

'Half Of Me' can be heard from 8:05 in the above video. Out of all the songs she performed on this night, unfortunately her vocals were the shakiest while doing the new single!

1) Back in Business
2) Look at Me
3) Half of Me
4) I Got a Name
5) It's Raining Men

Two impotant songs will be released in the short period of time.
Who will get the next # 1 in my personal chart ? Geri or Heidi ?

I'm already seeing The Guardian running this as a front page news.

Posted by: Lukuzz Oct 2 2013, 02:28 PM

I need to hear a studio version of this as she isn't the best live, but its sounding alright!

Posted by: Simon. Oct 3 2013, 11:42 AM

I think it sounds pretty promising, any idea when the studio version will premiere?

Posted by: Jạy Oct 3 2013, 11:50 AM

It's going to receive its first radio play in Australia today! biggrin.gif

Not as bad as I expected.

The Queen Of Pop is back cheer.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz Oct 26 2013, 09:21 AM

I normally love every thing that Geri does and I'm quite biased towards anything Spice Girls related, but it really isn't great, the lyrics are so cheesy and her vocals are bad, they could have at least auto tuned the recorded version a bit more laugh.gif

"I gave you the finger, you took me to dinner" LYRICS OF 2013.

Posted by: Luciano Oct 27 2013, 02:41 PM

I always imagine this song going "This is the half of me that you never gonna ever take away from me, no!".

Posted by: Liаm Oct 27 2013, 02:44 PM

This is so hilariously bad, I love it laugh.gif

Posted by: Spiral Oct 27 2013, 11:17 PM

I like the studio version. But it's not camp Geri sad.gif

f***ing hell, when all thing are considered

Posted by: Umi Oct 28 2013, 11:52 PM

The video reminds me far too much of 'I Like Your Smile' manson.gif

Posted by: Simon. Oct 29 2013, 10:06 AM

So annoying that I love her much and I can't really stand the song sad.gif or the video.

Posted by: Aphrodite Oct 29 2013, 10:42 PM

Very very weak song and one hell of a cheap video.

This song could be the another huge hit for Katy Perry. smile.gif
Awful video, but the most her videos were bad (exclude "Desire" and "Lift Me Up")
I love this single. Not such classic as "Desire" and "Calling", but still good.

I think you mean Rebecca Black. You got confused with the co-star of the 'Last Friday Night' video.

Posted by: Jonjo Nov 4 2013, 05:40 AM

Oh dear. Just got round to listening to this and it's awful. I wasn't expecting anything good anyway, but this is worse than I imagined. It's a shame really as the melody kinda reminds me of Hilary Duff's 'Beat Of My Heart' (which I shamefully adore! blush.gif ).

Posted by: Jạy Nov 4 2013, 02:44 PM

This reached #281 in Australia, with just 393 copies sold!

Posted by: Calum Sandé Nov 4 2013, 02:45 PM

Digital Spy have a whole article on this about how much of a flop it is. laugh.gif Not surprising.

Posted by: Jade Nov 4 2013, 05:48 PM

Is she trying to make that "dance routine" a thing?! laugh.gif

Pretty awful, which is a shame as she has quite a few great songs. sad.gif

Posted by: Liаm Nov 5 2013, 12:28 AM

I didn't expect it to smash or anything, but Jesus you'd think being on a big show like AGT she'd be able to managed a few more than 393 copies - even if she didn't perform or whatever. Ah well, it's not exactly a great song... I actually do quite like it for the laughable factor though...

Lol just seen the awful performance in Oz looool

I like her new song (especially the sound of trumpets) but #281 is the definition of failure..Why she released a song in Australia when she has more fans in U.k...??? mario.gif
Nevertheless, i wouldn't want her to have a fifth No.1 in U.k when Leona has only 3 No1.s..The vocal skills between them have a gap like the Marianas Trench.. smoke.gif

Voice perhaps not, but personality wise... I'd rather a huge personality with stand out classics hold the record than a reality winner with two of the number ones being covers.

I have heard a lot of times about Leona and her personality. I have watched some of her reviews and i think that she has personality. She seems that she is more educated than Geri too. I don't want to blame Geri because i like her as a pop artist but i think that she is an average British female singer. She hasn't one big song, her material is not memorable and her style is too backlash. On the other hand, everyone knows "Bleeding Love (even the stones), her songs are big/groundbreaking ballads and her style is always elegant. If Leona was a singer from my country, I would be very proud of her..I wouldn't say the same for Geri.. smoke.gif

You've shot yourself in the foot with your argument, as Geri's biggest solo hit (the one everyone probably remembers) was a cover.

Posted by: Silver Rocket Nov 20 2013, 08:52 AM

It was also the worst thing she EVER did (marginally worse than this).

'Look At Me' and 'Bag It Up' are stone cold classics. wub.gif

Posted by: Jạy Nov 20 2013, 02:16 PM

My Geri rank:

1. Mi Chico Latino
2. Look At Me
3. Bag It Up
4. Ride It
5. It's Raining Men
6. Lift Me Up
7. Desire
8. Scream If You Wanna Go Faster
9. Calling
10. Half Of Me

I was massively into Geri during her first album era. However, her second album really disappointed me. It didn't surprise me at the time when 'SIYWGF' and 'C' both missed the Top 5.

She won me over again with 'RI' and 'D', but I loathe the 'Passion' album these singles are taken from. The only other noteworthy song on there is 'Love Never Loved Me'.

I agree, I really loved 'Desire' and 'Love Never Loved Me' but the album itself was truly poor. sad.gif

Posted by: AlexRange Nov 20 2013, 06:46 PM

From 3 masterpieces "Passion" was her best album with very mature sound. "Passion" and "Desire" wub.gif

"Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" is perfect album with very wrong singles choice, include godawful "It's Raining Man" (Her worst song ever)
"Circles Round The Moon", "Streigth Of A Woman", "I Was Made That Way" should be the singles with "Calling".

'Schizophonic" was the first album, which I bought in my life.

She was/is/always will be the best pop singer.

Posted by: Regina Nov 20 2013, 06:57 PM

You must have led a sheltered life.

Posted by: d__ Nov 20 2013, 07:51 PM

"Bag It Up" is the gayest thing I've ever seen...

Half Of Me really is terrible sad.gif

Posted by: Jonjo Nov 20 2013, 08:58 PM

01. 'Lift Me Up'
02. 'Mi Chico Latino'

Everything else. (VOMIT)

Posted by: Silver Rocket Nov 20 2013, 09:03 PM

Totally rediscovered the beaut that was 'Love Never Loved Me'.

Could have been a hit single for her in 2002 (right place, right time etc)


Posted by: d__ Nov 20 2013, 11:46 PM

^^

Very true. I don't get how "Desire" did badly. It was her best song at that point.

'Half of Me' is not that bad actually, it's just a tad boring. It's the kind of cheesy pop that you won't score a hit with nowadays unfortunately for her. Although #284 or something is extremely low.

Posted by: AlexRange Nov 24 2013, 07:18 PM

From Geri's blog :

QUOTE
I saw online around 11pm that my new single (just released in Australia) had come in at number #94… I laughed nervously, god that’s really bad! (Deep down I was gutted).
...
Thanks to the 393 people – who made my song 94 – I wont forget this magic number.

QUOTE
Halliwell's `comeback' single Half of Me sold a diabolical 393 copies nationwide last week to debut at a lousy No. 281 on the latest ARIA chart.
By comparison X Factor winner Dami Im sold 44,025 copies of her single Alive to top the Australian singles chart last week.
The former Spice Girl signed with Sony Australia to try and relaunch her musical career off the back of judging on Channel 9's Australia's Got Talent.
Half of Me was written with Sydney's DNA Songs, who have penned hits for Jessica Mauboy, Timomatic and ironically Dami Im's Alive.
However a bold choice by Halliwell to sing live on the NRL Footy Show last month to launch Half of Me saw the resulting footage go viral - in the worst possible way.
Clips of Halliwell's performance and her most certainly not-mimed vocals were mocked internationally.

It means, that Geri is a liar smile.gif

Posted by: Jạy Nov 24 2013, 11:47 PM

Liar is a bit strong - perhaps just misinformed?

I heard that she released her song a day too early for the Australian charts, so she lost her first day sales, effectively?

Someone check me into rehab 'cause I'm actually addicted to this song now and I'm not sure why.
