Can Geri pull of a decent return to the charts? I am not sure,i have a sneaky little feeling this upcoming album will never see the light of day unless she releases it as a download only album.

Geri for me, has always been one of those pop artists where if she does it really well and works within what she knows best, it's good. But by the same token, you unfortunately know about it when it's absolutely terrible (I'll mention no names but to a certain Jamaican reggae star, hang your head in shame)...
If they market her at a different audience this time round - i.e do what Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Mel C have done very successfully and corner the Radio 2 market, the audience of which probably has a new influx of listeners that are left cold by the disappearance of Chris Moyles from Radio 1 - then it could work and produce a couple more top 20/top 30 hits to her name at the very least. Obviously this is Geri we are talking about because she's very good at selling herself, but I think you can tell she won't be AS desperate as she was back then this time round cause it'll be more for the enjoyment of it and for the fans that have stuck with her rather than chasing chart positions etc. In short, she won't be hitching up with Chris Evans or Robbie again on week of release. |

Phenomenal Woman - HD Video Geri Talks about Breast Cancer - HD Video Wannabe (Ballad Version) - HD Video It's Raining Men - HD Video Professionally filmed videos will appear of Geri's YouTube tomorrow, but for now there's a clip of Wannabe: The best live singing she's ever done, rather proud of her! Although she must have had greater confidence in her abilities to do this, she was still quite nervous. It definitely shows when she's giving a speech. Bless her.

I don't think Geri will ever have chart success again, but I'm liking the sound of "Phenomenal Woman" - tis typical Geri stuff. She's my least favourite vocally but I'll take any new solo Spice material.

Geri never vocally impressed me, i found her hunger for fame admirable and annoying at the same time as she often reeked of desperation. Some of her single cornered the pop market very well, but she also did some extremely poor singles. I think her biggest talent lies with putting herself out there, she knows how to grab attention ( sometimes for the wrong reasons) and sometimes what i dont like about is she believes she is a bigger star than what she really is and she also gives herself some extra credit that is not warranted. Her judging on x factor showed that, i felt she tried to convince herself she is as relevant as Gary Barlow in todays charts when it is totally the opposite.
All in all, i dont think Geri will ever bother the charts too much again unless a Greatest Hits package manages to make a very small impact on the charts. |

I believe Geri deserves more credit than she gets. It's pretty unfair that she's considered to be such a joke these days, when she's a member of the Spice Girls, i.e. the biggest girl group of all time. That shouldn't be sniffed at as being irrelevant.
 I have no doubts that a Geri comeback wouldn't set the charts alight at all, but she doesn't need to really. Melanie C, with all her talent & credibility, only manages to scrape the charts these days herself, so I wouldn't expect Geri to be huge. I'm just interested in what she'll come out with!  When it comes to Gary... Geri achieved something Gary never did, and that was worldwide success - as a group member and as a solo artist. When The X Factor goes on about wanting to create "worldwide stars" - Geri's the one who's been there and done that. She may be eccentric, but I believe her heart is always in the right place, and she was just trying to impress at the X Factor. She's misunderstood.

Look At Me is quite good, I got tired of Its Raining Men, honestly I can't see her getting a big hit out of this.

I know it wasn't no.1, but could Cheryl have ever pulled off anything as amazing as Look At Me?

It's no wonder she took this long, she had to take time perfecting the follow up to the iconic top 281 ARIA smash Half Of Me

Loved her solo stuff back in the day = Look At Me, Bag It Up, Lift Me Up and even It's Raining Men is a camp classic, also Ride It came out at the right time, wouldn't be a hit now though, probably the campest thing ever and plus that gloriously awful music video. Shame that "Love Never Loved Me" never became the single it should have been.
It will be interesting to hear her new stuff, but it won't stand a chance in today's charts. |
