did geri ever give a specific reason for originally leaving the spice girls,im trying to think of why but cant remember her ever given a particular reason

In 'If Only' or 'just for the record' she says part of the reason was because they wanted a more r&b style and she didn't think that was her. A year after leaving she says she saw a billboard advertisement in USA whilst driving and realised she'd done the right thing (I think they were dressed in leather, the Holler promo stuff).

 

She knew she was going to leave and informed the group (others have confirmed this, mel c) during the tour, they wanted her to complete the tour which she had a go at but in the end just fled! If you can get hold of any of the pics of geri around this period she does look depressed and her 'transformation' was already taking shape (hair straight and dull coloured, black clothes).

 

Aside from that rather nice reason - she said in the documentary that she felt pushed out of the group "by one particular member", whether this was because they knew she wanted or was part of her reason for wanting to leave is still unknown.

 

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for that geri boy as i always wondered why she didnt finish the tour or finish the promo pf spiceworld album as i remember they pre recorded a toto performance of viva forever and that was shown when it went number 1 looking back now i think she was dressed in black also

i always remember hearing about Geri wanting to do some kind of charity event and the other girls not wanting to do which tipped off all the bad feeling she was already having and then she left.

dont know if thats true whatsoever

i remember it been a shock at the time as she would have been the least expected member to leave,i wonder if she had stayed how things would have went

would have been alot better i think, i always saw her as the lead spice girl even though mel c clearly has the best voice, geri and mel b always stood out as the loud and determined ones

geri was determind and like dto be heard she was never my fave spice girl but she wa sa huge part of the group the 3rd spice girls album was so disappointing,

 

how much did westlife beat them by in the first week sales when they went head to head

i adore the 3rd album and think it is just as good as the first 2, incredibly underrated, the fact that westlife beat them is disgusting lol.

 

ya i remembe rbeen disguted when west;ife beat them ,i dont know i neve rgot into the third album i still have it somewhere never listen to it,maybe now is the time to give it another go

yes it is lol!

i have it on as we speak

goodgood.

my faves are 'Tell Me Why' 'If You Wanna Have Some Fun' and 'Get Down With Me' and obviously 'Goodbye'

get down with me i liked originally i must say

ye i think it shoulda been released

ya i agree i wonder why they only released two singles of the album they gave so little promo they had at least another number 1 befor ethey quit

god knows, it was originally suposed to be a break i think. even though they had a almost 2 year break before releasing forever.

ya i think it all went wrong and westlife beating them didnt help

i know, i think i would have left if i was them , what an embarresment loosing out to the worst boy band ever

very true i would love to know how much westlife beat them by was it close

i would like to know aswel, i wouldnt know where to find out
