She wanted to do a live version of you're the one that I want with Olivia Newton John and during the rehearsal Olivia cancelled the song because Geri was singing in the wrong key and seemed under the influence of something. Geri supposedly vomited on stage then Olivia stormed off stage in disgust.
She keeps messing with her microphone pack behind her, you can tell the sound and inner ears are malfunctioning poor geri. She kept going despite the technical issues which is very professional ❤❤
Depending on the event, it is also professional to stop the song and explain that there is technical difficulties, then try to correct to problem. I'm sure everyone in the audience would have unsterstand. It is better to start the song again than sing the whole thing out of tune.
Hi Georgina and everyone who’s watching this for the first time. I would like to clarify that I was lucky to attempt that night and watch Geri live. This would have been her first solo performance in years alone so she clearly was very nervous. When she came on stage her radio mic wasn’t working and she couldn’t hear the click to be in tune with the music because the sound was very loud. That’s why she was with her hands behind a lot trying to adjust the volume or turning the radio mic off. You can see that at one point she removes her music ear plugs. She wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t that bad as it sounds.
Thank for the that. I was waiting for this comment. I know what happened and also I’m not sure why the offical video isn’t being shared just a fan one? Thank you xxxxx
Hmmmm. Most singers know the key of their own song. These don’t tend to fluctuate from show to show. I think the problem here was that the auto tune either wasn’t working or she was so out of tune even the miracle of auto tune couldn’t get it right. I’ve honestly heard better karaoke on a Sunday afternoon in the pub.
I attended this show too and at one point Geri vomited onto the stage. Her sound system seemed poor and the mix was bad. I think she was nervous then barfed everywhere behind the guitarist lol
I think that she couldn t hear her voice. That is why her arm was behind her back, maybe she tried to touch her mic to rearrange it... Cause even if she s not the best singer, she s usually not out of key 😊
Geri's just not a great vocalist at the end of the day. Vocally she really struggled without the other girls, especially in the early days (her vocals on the verses in her early single 'Lift Me Up' really show this). But she brought many other qualities to the band - such as drive and charisma - and you can't take that away from her.
So I’m not a singer by any means but wasn’t she messing with the The inner ear or volume pack that singers wear when they are on stage and maybe the 👍🏼s up was telling someone off stage to fix it ? Maybe that’s why she was playing behind her an she got in key at the end 🤷🏻♂️
last i remember geri was a judge on a talent show here in Australia years ago and she released a new song and performed it live, the entire thing was so bad it made headlines all over Australia. the song was cringy and it went downhill quick
Exactly she just had IT and IT didn't need to be amazing live vox and fantastic dancing skills. It's a shame many feel those are the only vital ingredients to being a great popstar.
Her hand is behind her back because the sound tech had turned her in ear monitors down so low she couldnt hear... they also didnt expect the roar of the crowd to be so loud... felt sorry for her :(
She pointed to the mic telling them to turn it up. I think she might have had some issues hearing herself, we all know shes not a great singer ... but shes not bad, you think she was trying to fix her sound with the pack on her back? Maybe that's why her hand was behind her a lot?....
She had sound issues, couldnt hear herself at all and lets also not forget this was a mobile phone recording so it doesnt sound great anyway. One thing we cant forget, she did GAY there, a nightclub and she actually brought a band, background singers and sang live. Many people dont. She could have just mimed and no one would have minded but she didnt. When you are in a nightclub, things can go wrong, its not as professional as a live concert or studio tv performance and ive seen bigger vocalists mime their way through a GAY performance and the audience didnt care. Obviously she intended things differently and has proven before she can do much better. She paid money to have it live and in this case it didnt pay off.
Poor girl. She is nightmarishly flat, which is such a shame because the recording is fantastic; especially the way the harmonies work in the progression of the chorus on the studio mix. It is like a car chase scene through a Pride parade in a Bond movie, and I cannot mean that in a more complementary way. But damn, those harmonies should be tight and she clearly can't hear herself. I bet it was too heavy on the drums in her in-ear mix, when it should have been keys and backup singers so she could keep track of her tone. Ultra bummer that the backups held off so she could find her footing, because that's honestly what makes the song so cool in my heart.
Geri is quite possibly the weakest Spice Girl when it comes to vocals, but she's pretty much the main reason why they got as big as they were, and still are. She was the mastermind behind their sound, their image, their narrative, their story, she came up with the ideas for most of their songs, and had such a strong presence and charisma. So Geri might not be the strongest singer, but she is one hell of a showbusiness woman. #GirlPower
Huh..what an exaggeration, always hyping the girl more than she deserves. Their first song that everybody liked and still is their famous hit is Wannabe and guess who wrote most of it? MEL B But she doesn't get all this praise, uhm. The mastermind behind their sound was the producers, the lyrics were written by all the girls and the producers said it. I've just read on their wiki page that the producers said that Mel C and Emma were very active in the songwriting. The image of the group was about 5 different girls with different images and they all came up with their own personal image. I've never seen charisma or strong presence in her but I see lots of charisma in the other girls. She was the one that spoke in the interviews and had some ideas, that is true
@@xNorthernStar hahahah, don't try to put a shade on Geri. Every material about spice girls talk about how big Geri was for the group, that's why Forever is just a disaster. Hahahhaha
No... She just can't sing. Why are you all blaming technology, real singers don't need ear pieces... You know the key of your own song it hasn't just suddenly changed...
@@peterpinsent9304 she used to sell over 100k singles in a single week. Lots of people agree(d) with you. She'll always have a special place in my heart for being the most exciting popstar, in the Spice Girls and for the first few years of her solo career, of my teenage years.
After all Geri is so damn iconic. We all know her singing is wack, but we love her legendary voice haha. She is pop culture 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 She has recorded some really great vocals in the Spice Girls albums tho 👌🏼 specially in the first album Spice. Mel B and Geri used to sound amazing in their early 20’s/debut vocals.
I don't listen to her that much but "Look At Me" is one of my favorite songs of all time (just not this version). I don't know why I like it but I dare not question it. I think she had tuning issues for the most part and looks like she was trying to figure it all out but unfortunately she didn't. At least she didn't give up.
Her nerves and sound problems aside, I think there is another reason she doesn't sound right singing Look At Me anymore. She recorded it when she had a more gravelly voice which had a lot more depth and character. She used that voice to great effect in this song. Since then she had surgery to remove nodules, and although this gave her voice more clarity, it really did strip away some of the character. The sound in Heaven is dreadful too.
Actually the music is out of tune. It's off key. That's not how it supposed to sound. Especially look at me. She got tired singing it during the bridge part it looks like she doesn't wanna sing it
I don’t know how ANYONE can end up a millionaire just by being feisty! She CANNOT sing and isn’t a beauty (unfortunately that gets you up the ranks in this strange world) I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS! there’s some right talent out there that will never get noticed.
People are being way too hard on Geri here, this song is not really a vocalist song... it's a spunky spicy pop fun song not really known for its master vocals... not really a great song to judge someones voice. Also why are we juding Geri's voice as a middle aged woman for songs she sang 2 decades ago? lol
Geri is the absolute perfect example of someone being in the right place at the right time. She was amazing in the Spice Girls but she really cannot sing to save herself and can’t even dance. Still my favourite Spice Girl though 😂
Love the Spices specially Melanie C, but Geri is such an icon. It’s a shame that she wasn’t comfortable in this particular performance. She was in Australia and it was her comeback after years off music
So pleased WTF!! Is back 🤣 oh Dear!! Indeed Georgina, Geri Halliwell my favourite spice girl back in the day...long time ago 🤪 she was kinda doing here own thing!! I actually have her first album schizophonic and it's pretty much the same apart from a very few tracks were okay!! Perhaps I shouldn't have admitted to owning a copy 🤣 🤣 it was successful if I can remember!! "Bag it up"was my favourite guilty pleasure one of many back then. Well done Georgina good 1st choice 🙂xx
Im a geri fan but this was Horrendous... thats why now she spent the time just baking cakes at home while shes not witht he spicegirls.. and shes got at that..
What I enjoyed about this performance was that she didn’t care. We all know Geri was a perfectionist to her detriment. She was never an amazing vocalist. But she defo took her career seriously. So to see this not being polished shows she’s in a better headspace and is just having fun.
I’m a massive spice girls fan and supporter, but yeah, this is bad. That being said, and to be fair, this was her first live solo show in over 12 or maybe more. You can tell she’s really nervous 🥺
Awww i love Geri, its also just a very talk-ey kind of song like even in the studio version she just talks through the verses plus the out of sync sound made it worse, also def needed a back track in the end there 😂 Always will love Ginger tho 🥰
I LOVE Geri but this performance was a DISASTER. Not only because of the sound issues but for her absolute lack of energy or will to be there. It's painful to watch.
Late watching this it’s just shown up in my recommendations for some reason!?! The reason why she’s got her hand round her back a lot is probably because her inner ear pack wasn’t working and she was trying to make sure it hadn’t unplugged. She’s not the first singer to do that when they’re having sound problems and she won’t be the last. The hand gesturing was telling the technician to turn it up. And when that didn’t work and she still couldn’t hear herself she took them out because they’re uncomfortable too wear as it is! If it’s not working there’s no point in keeping them in. That’s the most likely explanation for what she was doing with her hand round her back. But as you pointed out the whole sound was off. So either they didn’t do a sound check or they did and something happened where everyone’s inner ears wasn’t working and none of them could hear themselves which means they would have been playing blind (not literally, it’s a figure of speech!) and also explains why they’re not in sync playing and singing.
Geri is the embodiment of why girl bands exist in my opinion: vocally she is not terrible but she very much needs the support of others and when they were together the Spice Girls created some of the most lovely harmonies I've ever heard. They and the Sugababes are real shining stars in this regard. However, Geri did have an ear for catchy music, style and outlandish outfirts, shrewd decisions etc. and those things are all equally as important to being successful artist. If you listen to her solo music, particularly her first and third (?) album 'Passion' and compare that with the Spice Girls' third album, and only one without her, you can see how much input she clearly had on the overall sound of their album. Unfortunately, I feel, based on the all the material from the recent SG tour I saw, she has lost some of that Charisma too - she was very dry on that tour and seemed to leach some of the Posh - dowdy/silent persona too.
Her solo stuff will make you your ears bleed, it's awful. The reason why there was a similarity between some of the songs to the spice girls' is because there were the same producers. The album that they had as a four piece was produced by other people. That is why
She hired the same producer of the first two spice girls album, that is why. For the third album the group changed producer. For the record her solo stuff is very dreadful and the third album wasn't that better either
Her arm is behind her back because she's trying to put her mic volume up on her mic box. She then try to make signs to the sound engineer on the left of the stage that she needs to hear herself better.
I really think you need to look at a more recent video of her performing- she’s FAR better than she used to be, really put a lot into improving her voice and it showed in the last Spice Girls tour of the UK.
But she mimed a lot during the 2019 Spiceworld Tour and she was so wooden. I wouldn’t expect her to be the same energetic woman we all fell in love with in the 90s but she looked so bored at times. I went to 2 of the concerts in 2019 and felt the same both times. Luckily I saw them in 1998 when they truly were at their peak, and then again in 2007. Out of all of them, she’s changed the most and not necessarily for the better. The others still know how to have fun.
Geri has been my fave spice girl since day one. I especially enjoyed all three of her solo albums, most especially SIYWGF. Even if she was not the most talented vocally she sure made up in ambition and drive! A lot of people forget she was the most successful female UK artist at one point in time (early to mid 2000's) And I think she held that title for 10 years? So good on you Geri!
She was never the most successful uk female artist ahaha. She had luck for a couple of songs and then flopped and flopped again. Her first album didn't sell much, it did so and so and the others were even bigger disasters. She had like 4 or 5 local hits but you fantasize as if she had hits and albums like Britney or Madonna ahaha. She wasn't even the most successful spice girl, Mel C was the most successful spice girl. Mel C sold more albums and hits in the uk and europe than every other spice girl
@@ashleydavidson8366 Melanie C doesn't know what a hit means since 2000, apart of First Day of my life that was a hit because it was soundtrack of some Soap Opera. After that, she didn't have even a #100 in UK. Don't try to make her a big solo artist, specially when her first album sold more than Geri, but it was released 2 times.
Yet despite all that, her solo tour was cancelled due to poor tickets sales. I was gutted as I had front row tickets right in the middle- only about 25% of the tickets for that venue had sold. It’s a real shame as it was already a scaled-down theatre tour. She must have been devastated.
Everything sounds in different keys. What was going on?? It sounds like some live instrument is also in the wrong key too? I remember once she was singing in a club and was singing this same song and during the second verse she turned around and vomited on the stage.
Im very picky about enjoying voices.. But i just can't help but love Geri. Weak voice, not much skill.. but I just love her even though she's a bit naff 🤣 (edit: I said it before I started the video haha) Also, her voice is so suited to sultry jazzy smokey styles of music, but she very rarely did it.
What went wrong...Well one she can't sing. She should never have been in a band let alone a solo artist. Love her as a person but leave the singing to the singers Geri....#shecantsing
Clearly having problem with her mic and her putting the hands up in the air, is a clear sign of the volume needed turned up in her ears… every singer does this!
She sang every song awfully that night. It wasn’t the mic or volume. She can’t sing or dance, the spice girls fans know it. She was the one who talked in interviews
It just reminds me of someone drunk at a karaoke night.
Hahahahahahah OMg 😆
She wanted to do a live version of you're the one that I want with Olivia Newton John and during the rehearsal Olivia cancelled the song because Geri was singing in the wrong key and seemed under the influence of something. Geri supposedly vomited on stage then Olivia stormed off stage in disgust.
I felt very uncomfortable with this performance, Georgina's face of confusion was priceless lol
I laughed so much at this !
She keeps messing with her microphone pack behind her, you can tell the sound and inner ears are malfunctioning poor geri. She kept going despite the technical issues which is very professional ❤❤

When was this?
Hmmmm. Most singers know the key of their own song. These don’t tend to fluctuate from show to show. I think the problem here was that the auto tune either wasn’t working or she was so out of tune even the miracle of auto tune couldn’t get it right.

To be fair it was SO loud. The place was RAMMED. I was also there
I attended this show too and at one point Geri vomited onto the stage. Her sound system seemed poor and the mix was bad. I think she was nervous then barfed everywhere behind the guitarist lol
It's why the song is called "Look at Me" and not "Listen to Me"
😂
Brutal but hilarious.
omg lol lol
Omg dead. (Still love Ginger)
I´m dead 😂🤣
Melanie C is the best singer in the group, but I love all 😊💕

But she brought many other qualities to the band - such as drive and charisma - and you can't take that away from her.
And she did a lot of the writing
#HouseOfGinger
Those music days were really about the energy a band or artist brought to the table.
Don’t be sorry, Geri was one of the most charismatic pop stars at her peak. Still love her even if she’s toned herself down in recent years
She has charisma but no voice
I think she's lost the only thing she had going for her, the charismatic stage persona.
I like her. She’s not the best singer in the world by any means but like you say she has charisma in spades. ❤️
She wasn’t. She had no charisma on stage either. She got in the group because she was annoyingly talkative
So I’m not a singer by any means but wasn’t she messing with the
The inner ear or volume pack that singers wear when they are on stage and maybe the 👍🏼s up was telling someone off stage to fix it ? Maybe that’s why she was playing behind her an she got in key at the end 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah she obvi has issues with her mic pack and hearing herself back
Well, it's not a lip sync...
geri halliwell is so amazing
last i remember geri was a judge on a talent show here in Australia years ago and she released a new song and performed it live, the entire thing was so bad it made headlines all over Australia. the song was cringy and it went downhill quick
Yes I remember that. It was after the show she then vomited on the stage whilst trying to sing look at me
Geri is Geri no matter what. She could even go on stage and burp on the mic, I would love her anyway.
Exactly she just had IT and IT didn't need to be amazing live vox and fantastic dancing skills. It's a shame many feel those are the only vital ingredients to being a great popstar.
Victoria regularly farts into microphones
She sounds like a gremlin or a chipmunk on speed, doesn't she.
Shame about the technical difficulties. Geri’s a nice person.
You're very handsome.
Technical difficulties? Geri can't sing.
She vomited onto the stage in a club whilst singing this song live at butlins.

really?
I don't think she's drunk here just a bad sound mix.
She can’t hear a thing. I think this was at GAY. So my guess it was an audio disaster.
@Pink Panther Not usually.
@Pink Panther heard several artists saying they couldn’t hear themselves there
No... She just can't sing. Why are you all blaming technology, real singers don't need ear pieces... You know the key of your own song it hasn't just suddenly changed...
Love Geri. Schizo-phonic was one of my fave 90s pop albums. Her limited voice never bothered me and still doesnt. Girl made some great pop.

Her voice hasn’t changed since the Spice Girls, I suppose that’s a compliment.. 🧐
It's a shame there was no Eurovision this year. They could of invited Geri to sing in the interval after the success of Madonna in 2019
It’s almost like she’s out with a group of friends on a hen party and 1 of them gets up and does bad karaoke . Out of tune 😂
Geri is my favorite spice girl too. This performance doesn’t change that 🤷🏻♂️.
Have really missed wtf episodes!!! Glad to see them back!
Thank God for Mel C!

Deffo technical issues. Poor Geri.
Oh dear
Geri couldn't hear herself in the first half.
So tragic. The sound was awful.
Wow that is just horrible...poor Geri.
Geri is the absolute perfect example of someone being in the right place at the right time. She was amazing in the Spice Girls but she really cannot sing to save herself and can’t even dance. Still my favourite Spice Girl though 😂
the coach's reaction really wins my heart. very honest
And this 'singer' is a millionaire. So totally unfair. Her and Posh Spice totally lucked-out in this life. They deserve almost none of their success.
wow, that was really bad
Poor Geri, that was awful! I felt it was also a boring performance as well.
She just stood there and then vomited behind the backing singers lol
I will always love Geri. She was my teenage idol. I've never cared about her live voice as she sounds great on record.
Her live vocal has always sounded so vulnerable and try-hard that it made me love it, and her, even more.
Love the Spices specially Melanie C, but Geri is such an icon. It’s a shame that she wasn’t comfortable in this particular performance. She was in Australia and it was her comeback after years off music
This is not in Australia, it is in UK. In Australia it was really good.
What a disaster!
We love spice girls but we know geri never was the Best singer, she was just and image
So pleased WTF!! Is back 🤣 oh Dear!! Indeed Georgina, Geri Halliwell my favourite spice girl back in the day...long time ago 🤪 she was kinda doing here own thing!! I actually have her first album schizophonic and it's pretty much the same apart from a very few tracks were okay!!

Georgina looks horrified lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m a fan of Geri’s but she’s Georgina is a very nice lady!
What went wrong? It’s Geri Halliwell, that’s what went wrong
She’s never been a singer really has she?? Has she ever sung well?
She did pretty well with It's rainging men
Actually if you look for Breast Cancer Concert in 2012 you may change your opinion.
I’m not a good singer, but I’m sure I could have done better! Lol. That’s just a joke, but seriously this wasn’t very good.
For a moment, I thought that I was watching someone do karaoke.
I know many people who are better at karaoke 😁
not WTF!!! OH MY LAWD!!!!!
love Geri and Spice are a big fan, Geri is iconic but vocally she is not excellent but this performance did not go well
Im a geri fan but this was Horrendous... thats why now she spent the time just baking cakes at home while shes not witht he spicegirls.. and shes got at that..
What went wrong? Geri opened her mouth and tried to sing is what went wrong.
What I enjoyed about this performance was that she didn’t care.
We all know Geri was a perfectionist to her detriment.

Pretty bad performance very odd song choice too
I’m a massive spice girls fan and supporter, but yeah, this is bad. That being said, and to be fair, this was her first live solo show in over 12 or maybe more. You can tell she’s really nervous 🥺
She performed in Australia few years before this horrible performance , she sounded even worse. She can’t sing or perform
Awww i love Geri, its also just a very talk-ey kind of song like even in the studio version she just talks through the verses plus the out of sync sound made it worse, also def needed a back track in the end there 😂 Always will love Ginger tho 🥰
Geri always seemed to have a flat sounding voice to my ear anyway. This makes that sound much much worse.
I LOVE Geri but this performance was a DISASTER. Not only because of the sound issues but for her absolute lack of energy or will to be there. It's painful to watch.
She's adjusting her Mic pack on her back. How frustrating for her to not hear herself properly and try to do a good performance.
Looks like either there's an issue with her top or she can't hear ANYTHING and is struggling with the mic pack.
Late watching this it’s just shown up in my recommendations for some reason!?! The reason why she’s got her hand round her back a lot is probably because her inner ear pack wasn’t working and she was trying to make sure it hadn’t unplugged. She’s not the first singer to do that when they’re having sound problems and she won’t be the last. The hand gesturing was telling the technician to turn it up. And when that didn’t work and she still couldn’t hear herself she took them out because they’re uncomfortable too wear as it is! If it’s not working there’s no point in keeping them in. That’s the most likely explanation for what she was doing with her hand round her back. But as you pointed out the whole sound was off. So either they didn’t do a sound check or they did and something happened where everyone’s inner ears wasn’t working and none of them could hear themselves which means they would have been playing blind (not literally, it’s a figure of speech!) and also explains why they’re not in sync playing and singing.
Yes!!! I’m sorry but I love your WTF series. 😂😂😂 I need it today too as it’s been rough so this has made me smile - sorry Geri (not sorry 😐) xx
Geri is the embodiment of why girl bands exist in my opinion: vocally she is not terrible but she very much needs the support of others and when they were together the Spice Girls created some of the most lovely harmonies I've ever heard. They and the Sugababes are real shining stars in this regard. However, Geri did have an ear for catchy music, style and outlandish outfirts, shrewd decisions etc. and those things are all equally as important to being successful artist.
If you listen to her solo music, particularly her first and third (?) album 'Passion' and compare that with the Spice Girls' third album, and only one without her, you can see how much input she clearly had on the overall sound of their album.
Unfortunately, I feel, based on the all the material from the recent SG tour I saw, she has lost some of that Charisma too - she was very dry on that tour and seemed to leach some of the Posh - dowdy/silent persona too.
Her solo stuff will make you your ears bleed, it's awful. The reason why there was a similarity between some of the songs to the spice girls' is because there were the same producers. The album that they had as a four piece was produced by other people. That is why
She hired the same producer of the first two spice girls album, that is why. For the third album the group changed producer. For the record her solo stuff is very dreadful and the third album wasn't that better either
She’s lost that spark.
O my god geri's vocal is ambbarasing Lol she wasnt sing but she was talking Lol
Ouch, that was painful. But, she looks great!!
The girl simply can't sing.
Alone
Hi Georgina, Geri has an unreleased album that's available on UA-cam called Man on the Mountain. I think you might like it!
Is this true?
@@jtarantula3390 it sucks... don't listen to it.
@@pedrohmsantos88 give the people to have their own opinion about it.
Her arm is behind her back because she's trying to put her mic volume up on her mic box. She then try to make signs to the sound engineer on the left of the stage that she needs to hear herself better.
Her box was converting the vocal to a digital signal to make her voice sound better
Oh my word...nope.
I really think you need to look at a more recent video of her performing- she’s FAR better than she used to be, really put a lot into improving her voice and it showed in the last Spice Girls tour of the UK.
Really?? How bad was her voice previously?
But she mimed a lot during the 2019 Spiceworld Tour and she was so wooden. I wouldn’t expect her to be the same energetic woman we all fell in love with in the 90s but she looked so bored at times. I went to 2 of the concerts in 2019 and felt the same both times. Luckily I saw them in 1998 when they truly were at their peak, and then again in 2007. Out of all of them, she’s changed the most and not necessarily for the better. The others still know how to have fun.
Hey my dear. I love your videos ... Sending love from Brazil.
Helen Keller would cover her ears.
Geri has been my fave spice girl since day one. I especially enjoyed all three of her solo albums, most especially SIYWGF. Even if she was not the most talented vocally she sure made up in ambition and drive! A lot of people forget she was the most successful female UK artist at one point in time (early to mid 2000's) And I think she held that title for 10 years? So good on you Geri!
👍
She was never the most successful uk female artist ahaha. She had luck for a couple of songs and then flopped and flopped again. Her first album didn't sell much, it did so and so and the others were even bigger disasters. She had like 4 or 5 local hits but you fantasize as if she had hits and albums like Britney or Madonna ahaha. She wasn't even the most successful spice girl, Mel C was the most successful spice girl. Mel C sold more albums and hits in the uk and europe than every other spice girl
@@ashleydavidson8366 Melanie C doesn't know what a hit means since 2000, apart of First Day of my life that was a hit because it was soundtrack of some Soap Opera. After that, she didn't have even a #100 in UK. Don't try to make her a big solo artist, specially when her first album sold more than Geri, but it was released 2 times.
Yet despite all that, her solo tour was cancelled due to poor tickets sales. I was gutted as I had front row tickets right in the middle- only about 25% of the tickets for that venue had sold. It’s a real shame as it was already a scaled-down theatre tour. She must have been devastated.
She sounded like she always did since day 1: not good.
Oh dear, I really had a hard time watching the performance until the end. You're too kind Georgina, I love your reactions 🙏🏻
Bless I still love her lol

Everything sounds in different keys. What was going on??
It sounds like some live instrument is also in the wrong key too?
I remember once she was singing in a club and was singing this same song and during the second verse she turned around and vomited on the stage.
Im very picky about enjoying voices..
But i just can't help but love Geri. Weak voice, not much skill.. but I just love her even though she's a bit naff 🤣 (edit: I said it before I started the video haha)
Also, her voice is so suited to sultry jazzy smokey styles of music, but she very rarely did it.
What went wrong...Well one she can't sing. She should never have been in a band let alone a solo artist. Love her as a person but leave the singing to the singers Geri....#shecantsing
😴
Clearly having problem with her mic and her putting the hands up in the air, is a clear sign of the volume needed turned up in her ears… every singer does this!
True. Check out Jojo singing Too Little Too Late in Jay Leno she got off key and made those gestures and angry looks at the sound engineer
She sang every song awfully that night. It wasn’t the mic or volume. She can’t sing or dance, the spice girls fans know it. She was the one who talked in interviews
I love Geri too! But I would never pay money to see her without the spice girls.
I did but got a refund when her tour was cancelled due to atrocious ticket sales 😂
Poor Geri! I've never seen this performance, it's like I haven't even rehearsed! Sad how she lost all that shine! And it's not that old yet.
Agreed. She also vomited on stage at a concert in Pontins which was awful and people were laughing at her.
Georgina. Suggestion- Ellie’s cat cushion should be the whole cover. It would look amazing❤
Still my favourite ex spice girl song
Ooh Ekk not good if I was there I would want my money back!🎤👎😲
