Emma and Geri in Spicy chart battle
Luke Peterson
Emma and Geri in Spicy chart battle
Emma Bunton is set for a head-to-head battle with ex-Spice Girl Geri
Halliwell.
Baby Spice plans to release her debut solo single, What I Am, on November 1.
And her fiercest competition will come from Geri who releases her new single
Lift Me Up on the same day.
Bookmakers William Hill are offering odds of 2-1 on Geri making it to No1,
while Baby is at 5-2.
A close friend of both girls told The Sun: 'It had to happen. Once the girls
started releasing solo singles it was inevitable they would go
head-to-head.'

If I had a choice between the two, I'd chose Emma this time round.
Sorry, but Lift Me Up is not a good single, it just makes an OK album
filler song.

Sorry, but " Lift Me Up " IS a wonderful song, and it's going to be nice seeing it
at number 1 on the music charts around the world, but of course the sad sacks of
this world won't appreicate that, well they?

Isn't Sabrina a WebTVer? If so, I'm not sure if she can even download
mp3s. I could be wrong though.

Trevor, you said the same about Look At Me and her album. Hardly a
very impressive track record.

I said she was intelligent because she said that " Lift me Up " is fab, I
was not saying that about the MP3's, or whatever is was.

HEY !!!! I can't help it that some people have a VERY poor taste in music, BUT
did I tell you that " Look at Me " was number 1, here in New Zealand on May 30th?

New Zealand is hardly "all around the world."
SpiceFan from Hades
This Darren (Namely MOI...) has some bad news for ya... If you think that it was
designed to be a filler song, you're in the minority...
EMI/Chrysalis UK originally wanted Lift Me Up to be the first single, but Geri
insisted on Look At Me.... Seems the the record company brass
believed it would sell more copies. Also, as a small note, Geri also went up
against the brass about the release of both her album and the single as far as
TIMING went... They suggested that it would not be prudent to go toe-to-toe with
BoyZone, but Geri said she wanted the challenge...
She won the battle with the execs, but it nearly cost her the war. Geri just
didn't see that those pinhead suits get paid the bucks for exactly what they were
trying to do... advise her on the best way to SELL herself... She is now relenting
on the release of the song, but at the most inopportune time... The TinTinOut
single featuring Emma will most likely sell more copies, partly because Emma has
NOT been catty about Geri's departure, and partly because of the generally
respected nature of Tin Tin Out. (They have a great track record for their remixes
and such). I would NOT want to be the one having to tell either girl they lost to
the other... One can only hope that the final tally on sales for the two songs is
close...

In my opinion, "Lift Me Up" is the best track on her album, so it
would've been the more appropriate choice. I suppose Geri wanted a
release that she's proudest of, thus "Look At Me", which has a happy
bubble-gum feel. Obviously the record exec's choice was better. As for
this so-called feud; it's Emma for christ sakes. She's more tolerant
and good natured than "other" certain members. Don't forget, on more
than one occasion, Emma mentioned that Geri was like an older sister to
her.....

The highest position in Australia for "Look At Me" was at 3 [which was it's
debut week], not Number 1, according to the ARIA charts [ www.aria.com.au ].
It only made it to number 1 in Sanity [which is an Australia wide music
store], not in the official charts.

Actually, Emma has said the least period about Geri's split and is one
of the girls who apparently has not been in touch with Geri in any
capacity. I.e., it's hard to tell what she thinks exactly.
Sando
told it was Geri who fired Simon Fuller (Emma was Very very keen on him) and
so played a big part in Geri's depature! Um gripping stuff!

And will believe anything you tell her.

Whether it was designed to be or not is not the issue. I believe it
does not make a good single.

I think it was a difference of opinion of where Geri should be going.
She has worked very hard to reinvent herself as a serious artist. If
you take a look at the video of Lift Me Up, it seems it's marketed at
a younger audience, the current Spice Girls' audience (As a side note,
the rest of the Spice Girls seem to be reinventing themselves since
they are heading out of youngster fashion, so maybe the 'brass' are
seeing a possible hole that can be filled).

Well, this may not have been as wiser move as she thought. Look At Me
was considered a dissapointment simply because it did not get to
number 1, some even called it a flop. Sales of the album were
dissapointing, which is a shame since it's a good album IMHO.
> She won the battle with the execs, but it nearly cost her the war.
Maybe not. At the time of the first single, Geri was still viewed as
Ginger Spice, and Lift Me Up seems to cater to the Spice Girls'
audience. At a time where the Spice Girls are on their way out
(Although maybe not as solo artists), this could have fallen flat on
its face.
> Geri just

Geri is hardly hard up for cash. I respect Geri for what she's done
so far, but it seems th suits wanted her to become a toned down Ginger
Spice. Look At Me was definately not a 'Ginger Spice' song.
> She is now
> relenting
> on the release of the song, but at the most inopportune time...
Definately. It seems like a regression to me. The song is
reasonable, but the video screams "cheap and tacky" to anyone older
than about 13.
> The TinTinOut
> single featuring Emma will most likely sell more copies, partly because Emma

Mel C seems to be doing alright for herself despite calling Geri
"cotton wool", which is a rather ironic statement to come from a Spice
Girl.

Hmm...What I Am is a good song, and Emma's cover is good. I suppose
Tin Tin Out are alright, but I disliked their remix of "What Can I Do"
by The Corrs. The original was so much better.

As you said before, Emma has not been catty, and I see no real
evidence of anything other than friendly rivalry between them. So, I
don't think either would mind that much. But that's just my opinion
and I have been known to make humungous mistakes before.
