@@zeddeka The song was about how the tabloids portray celebrities: the bride, the b--tch, the nun, etc., She was not happy with the image of Ginger Spice and what it became. Hence, the funeral scene: She is killing and burying the image and simply being her true self.
Geri has always had such a profound understanding of pop culture history, the fashion, the references are so on point… even in her ginger spice days her outfits may have sometimes been tacky but always with a wink, and her appreciation for old Hollywood is always on brand
That’s why Geri was the key member of the Spice Girls. She may not be vocally talented, or the best dancer, but she has charisma, creativity and drive. Without her, the ‘spice’ was gone.
Between this song and Goodbye from the Spice Girls, I knew the great girl power era we had seen, loved and lived was all over. It was a sad time for me.
Still a quality tune 21 years on. Loved how bold and leftfield it was for a pop song. There was nothing in the Top 40 like this at the time, this record just exuded confidence. Geri had balls back then!
I remember how BIG this was, especially as I grew up in the UK. Everyone was talking about Geri's comeback/solo debut single and there was so much hype. Even my parents talked about it. I had the cassette and I was so jealous (in a nice way) that my friend had the CD version with all of the postcards :D
same. me too. i really love geri. and remember to that day. this video always play on mtv asia. i was so obessed with her fist album...and also the first album from melanie c..
So relevant today really...maybe we should all look a little deeper. I remember this being BIG back in the day. Fresh from leaving the Spice Girls, us Geri fans were hungry! And she served. Geri has never been a powerful vocalist but her lyrics and melodies are her talent, which I will take any day over well sung shxt. She was the heart of the spice girls to me, it was never the same after she left. I must have played this video abd the remixes on CASSETTE a thousand times.
Genius. For Geri Halliwell to release this as her first single after quitting the biggest girl group in history. This was a moment. I commend her bravery.
This was all shot in Prague! There is the railway station, library in Strahov monastery, Trojský zámeček, Vyšehradský most and the stairs to the Prague castle! Prague is beautiful ❤
ABSOLUTELY MADONNA INFLUENCED GERRI AND THE MILLIONS OF FEMALE ARTISTS FOLLOWING HER AND I LOVED THIS SOND AND VIDEO WHEN IT CAME OUT. JLO CAME OUT AT THE SAME TIME AND I THOUGHT GERRI WAS THE BETTER ARTIST BETWEEN THE 2 I MEAN SHE CAN REALLY SING BUT AFTER JLO HIT THE PUERTO RICAN EXPLOTION HIT RICKI MARTIN CHRISTINA AGULARA ENRIQUE IGLESIAS AND SO IT WENT.
This woman is such a legend! I absolutely love this song and the video is really well-crafted. The symbolic imagery of her dead Ginger Spice persona just tugs at the heartstrings!
What a classic I remember waiting patiently for the video to air on Top of the Pops in 1999 it was her big return to music after leaving the Spice Girls. She seriously took the Spice with her into her solo music.
Firestarter2014 I remember that too. And her playing it for the first time on Radio 1's Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball - only for Boyzone to trump her at the last hurdle with a now largely forgotten number one! This was the only decent solo thing she did mind. Everything else was a mess!
@@Irishgui83 OK I'll give Mi Chico Latino its due as well. Possibly Bag It Up as well for the BRITs performance alone. But in terms of mission statement and being a big pop culture moment and establishing her as a solo artist this was an incredible single.
I love watching their solo videos, it shows that they were a group of women with such different, defined styles who worked so well together all the same.
I used to love pop music back from 1998-2002 as I was getting into it. Felt a bit embarrassed during my mid 00s indie/emo teen years to admit it but I now look back at those first few years I starting listening to music with fond memories.
I'm proud that some parts of this video were filmed in my home country Czech republic and it's capital Prague :) (railway station, cemetery etc.) :) Always loved you most of the band, Geri :) Girl power forever :D
I was never into the Spice Girls even when they were big. But, I heard this song on 99.5 Best FM one day in Budapest and was blown away. Just something about her vocals and the beat of the song makes it amazingly catchy. It is funny but I live in the USA and never heard this before over there. I read this was an incredibly popular song through out Europe and in Geri's native UK.. Fantasztikus dal! Szeretem.
I just love that Hammond organ. I don't know why, but when the Hammond takes on it fullest sound coming in at 3.17, it so reminds me of the Hammond break in the Bread track "Tecolote" takrn from their fabulous album Guitar Man.
Wish we still have this kind of music...music one can relate to not the crap we have today...you recite verses and you're a singer...even win a Grammy...where has the creativity gone to?
What kind of fan I am 😢 I’ve seen this video 100 times and I only find out today that it was shot in Prague, the city I live in. Shame on me
I was wondering why it looks so familiar!
@@warmlavender5525 Prague is so beautiful. been there twice. solo just after " freedom" and in 16 I think with my son( during the heatwave) she might change a bit but she is still the grand old lady!
Shame shame shame 😂
Sometimes you have to see the clip more times. :-) Also greetings from Prague.
I was wondering which city it was, 'cause it looks beautiful.
It's fascinating to think that this song was written before social media and still rings so true today
Best comment!
I think you mean "What you get ain't what you see" 😂
She's describing something known as Histrionic Personality Disorder. It's been around forever. Social media has only made it much more visible.

This was such a huge deal at the time. Geri's comeback was probably the most anticipated music event of the year.
I've been mentally stuck in 1999 for all these years. And I don't wanna move on.
Neither do I, 1999 really was the year of music for me
well, now its 2021
After all this time?
22/23 for me and oh, such good times...
Omg I too stuck and don't mind to remain therein for eternity 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Summer 1999. I was 19 years-old. The world was very different back then. I loved this song. Missing those times.
It was The Summer of 99
I was 18 and this song was so popular on MTV
April 1999. Summer vacation here in the Philippines...
I was 19 too! It definitely was a different time
The 90s a fun time. Miss those days. #bringthe90sback
Miss Halliwell is genius!!! 👏🏻
her logo of the letter "g" with angel's halo and devil's horns is genius...
Or evil.... I see a lot of occult symbology in this video..
This song suddenly started playing in my head last week and I've been listening to it over and over since then and I can't stop.
Have you watched the X factor audition of it by Michael Lewis 😂
Me toooooooo ✌🏽
I just woke up and this song was in my head. Havent listened it since 99
Same
The way this song lives in my head rent free
Still a quality tune 21 years on. Loved how bold and leftfield it was for a pop song. There was nothing in the Top 40 like this at the time, this record just exuded confidence. Geri had balls back then!
Totally agree. We are at nearly 25 years now ❤

I'm a Filipino and my mom was into this too.. Because of the conflict with the band haha she shared it to me.
Cassette ? My gosh lol
Haha omg I was OBSESSED with her album!! #Geri
same. me too. i really love geri. and remember to that day. this video always play on mtv asia. i was so obessed with her fist album...and also the first album from melanie c..
@@TCt83067695 it's way cheaper than the CDs.

What a clever masterpiece music video! She’s a pop genius!

I’m thinking of Angela Rayner she’s the new Ginger!
@@veggie42 who?
@@uriasgarcia1530 exactly right who
@@veggie42 lies ! Geri forever!!!
She regrets it.
Still remember I was 9 yo and so proud that such a star came to my country to shoot this video. :))
This was all shot in Prague! There is the railway station, library in Strahov monastery, Trojský zámeček, Vyšehradský most and the stairs to the Prague castle! Prague is beautiful ❤
It certainly is beautiful. Hope to visit one day.
It’s great city! It really captured my heart when I went!
Remember watching this in mtv..such good times
I love Geri's red Ballet Slippers & her accent turns me on when she sings.
Such a clever and well thought-out video. I remember when this premiered. I replayed this for the whole year of 99
Great song! And it was filmed in Prague / Czech Republic :-)
The song, the different styles of clothes, hair, make up, the choreography, its as good as classic Madonna from the 80's and early 90's
Reminded me of the older Madonna stuff too.
Geri was a huge Madonna fan herself.
Better than mudunna

Huh? Geri can hardly dance... The Male Dancers were the ones carrying the visual....
She’s on the tonight show tonight! I’ve always loved the sophistication in this song- nice harmonies in the chorus :) GO GERI!
This woman is such a legend! I absolutely love this song and the video is really well-crafted. The symbolic imagery of her dead Ginger Spice persona just tugs at the heartstrings!
This music video is like one long perfume advert but they got so caught up in making the video that they forgot to mention the perfume.
Just thinking it looks like an advert
😆
Yes 🤣🤣
Waiting for the Burberry or Dior slogan
Great analysis 👌

Same here but it was Video Hits in Australia. I only had to hear it once and I bought the single right away
Look At Me is my favourite Geri Halliwell song of All-time. AllanBlack. AllanBlack1977.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
I love this song one of my song of 1999 Geri Halliwell rules gorgeous and beautiful! Still listening in 2024
the definition of a comeback
I've always loved the black and white photography of this video - and it was a great track to debut with!
She looked stunning in this video.
yes on in this video, not in real life...
Took the words from my mouth! She looked fab in the coffin bizarrely lol
She did!
Yes she did
Sexy vamp. Horny bitch. Bitch needs satisfaction.

Absolutely fantastic brilliant

This is a really good pop song. The outro is goosebump inducing. A lot of fun.
Just love this song. I'm playing now, not heard it for a few months, You are fantastic Jeri ,
God bless, ❤❤❤,
great video and song....the hammond solo in the end kicks ass, turn the volume up!!!
Wow. This was the strongest get away from a girl group song and video ever. She looked amazing and the song was fantastic. Well done Geri. Xxx
Happy 50th Geri
I've had this song in the back of my head for nearly 20 years and I've finally found it!
I was thinking about it today and I’m glad I found it! 😂
A superbly choreographed debut video of Geri's second coming.. And an answer to the rest of the Spice Girl's "Goodbye"
I love watching their solo videos, it shows that they were a group of women with such different, defined styles who worked so well together all the same.
This song didn't click with me right away but when it finally did, I couldn't get enough. Oddly, I still feel the same 20+ years later.
Geri is a very good writer!!! I do love her songs!!!
Very bad you mean, the lyrics are very clunky
Yeah, butt wasted...deep words
A very well constructed and edited video -
Geri was always my favourite Spice Girl and I was so upset when she quit the band.
+Stephanie O'Neill she returned in 2007
+17 CR7 What hunger does.
+roberto0709 no , lol, Geri was held back from
sPeaking in behalf of breast cancer or something like that so she got pissed
GERRI EST UNE FEMME FATALE !!!!
OH, OUI, J'ADORE !!!!!
Same it felt like the end of the world when I was a kid 🤣❤️
I used to love pop music back from 1998-2002 as I was getting into it. Felt a bit embarrassed during my mid 00s indie/emo teen years to admit it but I now look back at those first few years I starting listening to music with fond memories.
Video was shot in Prague. I lived there back then. Tons of memories. Missing the city.
This always was and always will be the BEST spice solo single of them all!
I'm proud that some parts of this video were filmed in my home country Czech republic and it's capital Prague :) (railway station, cemetery etc.) :) Always loved you most of the band, Geri :) Girl power forever :D

Who is watching this video in 2019? 🤙
Juan Pablo del Canto love you man! Xx
Just you ya big bender
¡Me!
MEEE!
song should be a great song with other voice, sorry Gery but you are so estridente.
It was actually a great first single as a solo artist
La más hermosa de las spice, ese grupo no volvió a ser el mismo sin Geri.
1999 was one of the best years EVER
So true best year for pop music EVER.
I miss this year
Agreed!
It's the year i was born.
Excellent voice and personality. we love you Ginger!!! thanks for the music!!!
I just love that Hammond organ. I don't know why, but when the Hammond takes on it fullest sound coming in at 3.17, it so reminds me of the Hammond break in the Bread track "Tecolote" takrn from their fabulous album Guitar Man.
I been randomly singing this every other day
I never listen to the radio. Today was the first time I have ever heard this song. It's great.
What a great voice of Geri I love the accent she gives off. Robbie and Geri need to do a duet together and make a pop upbeat song.
over 10 years later and i still remember every single word!
2020 Loook at me!!!👀❤
Em quarentena todos de olhos !
Here
October 2020 :D
October 2020 and the rest of forever !
Этот клип вышел в 2001 году, кто вспомнит?!!
Я понял её главный посыл,
,,обрати на меня
внимание,,
i still adore this song and all the music she did at this time.
This song is not just what she experienced in her life in her time but this is what world looks like and kindness is rare
Thumbs up for the song and especially the choreography in the end!
Love the song and Geri is amazing!
thats your profile pic? you with a cake? you could have been a little bit more creative you know.

Worm better for lies

Love this song too and video it’s awesome 😎
When the song was on our radio (Indonesia), it didn't have the part of 2:21. It went straight to 2:34. Are there 2 different versions?
“Queer thinking, straight talking. What you see ain’t what you are getting.” ~ Look at me.
Geri darling, wbk since forever 😂
when someone say look at me, I immediately start singing this song. only 90s baby gets it
Or people who were just around in the 90s, like 90s adults...
Me too
Cool 😆😆😆😆😂👌 i loooove Geri 💗💗😍
look at me
I'm an 80's baby and I got it.
No hay comentarios en español
Pero quiero decir que aún escucho esta canción y me sigue fascinando
Jorge Flores a mí igual me gusta,la sigo escuchando
Esta cancion ya la tenía borrada de mi memoria y conduciendo en mi automóvil en una radioemisora la tocaron y volví a tener como 12 años
de las carreras de las ex spices, esta fue la que más seguí, compré el álbum y lo amo desde ese entonces 🥰
¡La sigo escuchando!
Y a mi!!!
Geri's beauty was always underestimated
Great track
I miss the 90’s!
The 2nd half of the video is puré gold, the rythm, her face. 90's for life
Still sparkling wine in 2024
Wish we still have this kind of music...music one can relate to not the crap we have today...you recite verses and you're a singer...even win a Grammy...where has the creativity gone to?
22 years later, and I still remember all the lyrics
Mas alla que la musica sea fenomenal, saber por que hizo este tema y como logro hacer llegar lo que tenia pensado, UFFFFF. SOLO PALABRAS DE GLORIA!
Congrats for the 22 years of "Look at me" album, lovely Geri. You are still an inspirational artist and this song is pure masterpiece❤️🎉🤗😘💐
This video is so iconic. I remember the exact day I saw it for the first time. I was so happy she was back.
Still love this song after all these years
Geri - Best of the best.
and it has remained in my heart forever
I remember going ham to this song at 7 years old
April this year I was very ill from low iron and I listened to this song on repeat ❤❤
This is just amazing. Love it! ❤
I just love it! Thank you forever! ART is so good!
Will always love this song… love the 60s vibe!!
Eu sou apaixonada por essa mulher aaaaaa assisto suspirando.
My favourite Spice girl. Still loving this song 🖤
Love from Germany 💋
Geri in our lovely Prague😍
O clipe que deu início a carreira solo dela top demais muito linda interpretando várias personalidades 😍
Uma carreira que, mesmo bastante tempo sem lançamentos, continua sólida
GREAT SONG. Still hearing it . I had only 13 when it aired on TV and I loved it since.
Very underrated song, amazing singer!!!
Still a cracking tune.
Come and visit Praha! That is the city in the video!
jezek21 I've been, a wonderful city😊
Love from a neighbour from Poland🇵🇱🇨🇿
yes thats in prague
Praha? Hahaha
I did not appreciate this song and video enough back then. I’m obsessed now especially with that dance break at the end
3:03 Interesting how this has been around for ages. You still see people doing this in magazines, music videos, everywhere.
illuminati
Well...The song is about the Con-Industry!
illuminati symbol
I mean she could have sold her soul to the devil (illuiminati) and thats why she's the most successful solo Spice
@@danielupcott5439 I thought Melc the most success solo album. No ?
