I've seen that some Spice fans aren't happy with this clip of Jade from Little Mix saying "RIP Geri". To me, it felt like a throwaway comment, and what she likely meant by it was RIP to Geri's "Ginger Spice" 90s personality? However I have seen people argue that such a comment is not very supportive of women evolving as they mature. Hmm, at the end of the day Jade is a big Spice fan and I don't think she meant any malice, although equally I don't think it was the cutest choice of phrase. Idk, let me know what you think! |

Tbh as someone who likes LM but doesn't love them and is becoming a bit of a Spice stan her comments don't really bother me, it doesn't change my opinion of Queen Jade but her comment felt a bit...needless. She could've just left it at 'old Geri or new Geri' without the RIP but she could've said worse

The truth is everyone sees the new Geri as a joke and pretty much dislikes the way she acts now. Most of us hold dear the Geri that is long since dead evidently and Jade is spot on.

Couldn't agree more with Jade.
And keep in mind, this is a drag show she is doing. It's funny and shady, she even called her mum a "shady bitch" are something like that. It's just a bit of fun and games. |

It was a joke, I don't think she meant any harm by it. Jade genuinely seems like one of the most lovely people on the planet and I'm sure she is a huge spice girls fan. She was just saying what we all think about Geri these days tbh.

I agree with her RIP in Geri Halliwell invaded by Geri Horner!

The thing is though if Geri was still the person she was back then she'd be ridiculed just as much for not acting her age. Look at how much abuse she got for her 2005 documentary and she was only in her early 30s then. Even in 2018 when she started yapping in the Jonathan Ross group nterview she got accused of being irritating/not letting others speak but had she been more quiet and reserved people would say "Wheres Gobby Ginger"??? She really cant win whatever way she chooses to go in.
For me personally as a big fan I look at her and she seems happy with the life she is living which in turn makes me happy for her. I know she has changed a lot and I do miss aspects of who she once was but life moves on and people evolve. |

There is being gobby then there is wearing white constantly and baking cakes. It is like she has had a personality transplant. It is also easy to see a more evolved version of the other 4 but still feeling true to who they are. Geri's just seems like a total act, I mean Mel C obviously loves working out, Mel B will always be a bit in your face and tactless. Geri wearing white to do gardening is an obvious conscious choice to try to come across a certain way. It doesn't feel natural and she doesn't seem natural trying to talk in a posh accent while baking cakes, it is forced and for show.

Jade was hilarious. That's all there is to it. They spent a big chunk of the episode talking highly of the Spice Girls and Geri as well.

The LA State of Mind era Mel was very chilled. I think she definitely puts on a bit of a front for her public persona and "Scary Spice" image, it's what gets her TV gigs. |

 !! I have absolutely no recollection of having seen that clip before, or even that she tried her hand at a sitcom. That was in 2014... I mustn’t have been paying attention. 👀

I'm sure I heard something about Rainbow Woman before? Thought it was a book?

According to people on Instagram it’s a children’s book?
I thought she was writing a novel for adults? |

That doesn't strike me as a children's book.

The tabloids had a story a month or so ago that she had trade marked rainbow woman for children's books. It says they are LGBT inclusive books aimed at kids so make of that what you will.
I'm dreading it because even from that clip it seems she wants to keep this regal shit she has going on. There might be a song to go with the books as rainbow woman has been registered as a song with Geri as a co-writer and Notting Hill as the label who I've never heard of. |
