One question.
What was she thinking? Nothing much I'm sure.

I know its not relevant and I've probably told this story to everyone, but my favourite Geri Halliwell inspired memory is when Scream If You Wanna Go Faster was played in The Garage one night. The WHOLE dancefloor cleared within the space of the first line. Has this ever happened in a club before?
Victoria would be so proud.

Compared to what's on the CD, the cover is relatively low on the heinous crime scale.
Monsta - I remember you telling the story, but I don't think you said it was the Garage. That would be hysterical. Though as I recall the DJ used to have a penchant for Bag It Up.

And to fan the flames of the album bashing, has it been deemed official yet that Heaven and Hell (Being Geri Halliwell) is the worst song in existance?The backing noise (I refuse to call it music) has some emaciated egomaniacal banshee caterwhauling out her own name at random moments. I give a Blue Peter badge and a copy of the Girl Thing album to anyone who has managed to sit through the whole 'song'. I wonder if its used at Camp X-Ray to force its prisoners to squeal. I know I would. |

I'd rather have my own ears syringed with a pneumatic drill than listen to that again. |

Just introduced a friend to that track earlier today, in my car, and he turned it up. It's hard to call it a song completely, but I think it just needed a little preening, as the chorus is wonderful. The first verse is a little lacking, but the second is much better with a stronger beat. I really wanted this to be a single, but I agree with the comment made about 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster'. I remember this playing in a club the night I went to see Cher. I wasn't in a place to see if the dancefloor cleared, however.

Has this ever happened in a club before? Yes. When the Stuffies 'Caught In My Shadow' had an exclusive play in Tumblers in Bradford. The DJs should have had a listen to it first I think... I quite liked SIYWGF - cracking chorus. |

Heaven and Hell is pure self indulgence and the only people that would want to listen to that are mad HalliHell fans. |

Monsta, we must become best friends. You're like a more mellow me. Heaven and Hell is pure self indulgence and the only people that would want to listen to that are mad HalliHell fans. I am glad you have described me as mellow in my old age. In the early days of the Interweb, I was infamous for making the lives of freaks, geeks and James/Lauren Harries wannabes a misery. Subsequently I was banned from numerous message boards such as Steps, Lisa Scott Lee and Girls Aloud and my IP blocked forever. I even once got a mention on old school Popjustice for my twisted ways! I'm a lot nicer now however. However *adopts Dermot O'Leary tone* I am a big fan of your relentless and selfless campaigning to rid the world of Geraldine Estelle Halliwell, the haddock faced Dolly Valance and their associated acolytes. Nothing is more satisfying than watching that 0800-REVERSE advert. I only wish you would divert your attentions to the PVA glue-on-her-face sporting Kylie Minogue. Isn't it time she was sent out to graze? I fear there will be a school glue drought at the rate she slaps it on her face, ably assisted by her minion, Will Cunting Baker. Vile. |

Dr Bastard, the first time it was funny. The second it was slightly amusing, but now the joke has worn thin. We all know you don't like Geri, I'm not going to plead with you to like her because everyone's welcome to their own opinion, but when someone dedicates so much of their time to someone they apparently dislike so much it becomes worrying. Your avatar is sickening (and don't try and make some joke about anorexia or bulimia out of that comment) to the highest degree. Would it be funny if my avatar had a headline about Delta Goodrem and her illness, then a comment about it being amusing? I doubt it.
People are tired of your rants against her. Maybe you should just piss off

Actually, I still find it amusing. I'm a bad person. But Scream If You Wanna Go Faster is tops and Geri is great.

I think the song would be better without the cheesy lyrics and a ballsier singer.

. Would it be funny if my avatar had a headline about Delta Goodrem and her illness, then a comment about it being amusing? I doubt it. The difference is you can tell Delta is a lovely genuine girl who isn't parading about her cancer riddled body. Halliwell used to show off that rancid bulimia ravaged carcass at EVERY opportunity. Its Raining Men? Geri Yoga? Anyone? In addition Delta has never used her illness to further her career and has remained dignified throughout. Can you say the same for the ageing spinster with only a poodle for a friend? In my opinion she herself has blown her so called eating disorders out of all proportion to further her ridiculous 'career'. It was probably a calculated plan in the first place to gain more attention. Her true illness is nothing to do with food, its her constant fame seeking. |

People are tired of your rants against her. Maybe you should just piss off Considering this is a forum against crap pop stars, which Geri really qualifies for, perhaps you should p*ss off. And who is sick of my avatars? Nobody has said anything to me about it and even if they did I did agree with that sort of censorship. If Geri uses events such as the Brits to promote her ghastly anorexia and not expect anyone to say anything then that is wrong. Considering she's a horrible confessinal celebrity, people like myself and Monsta are the logical conclusion to what Geri Halliwell is. Delta Goodrem doesn't make money from anorexia unlike Geri so your argument is shot down straight away. Monsta is ten shades of cool. |

Its Raining Men? Geri Yoga? Anyone? Well, posing half-naked with a tape measure around her waist on the front cover of her autobiography was also a nice idea. And as for the Brits, I'm not sure which is worse, anorexia in 10 easy stages for Heat-reading fuckwits, sticking her head out of a giant fanny or flirting with Ben Elton... |

I know. I was horrified when I watched the Brits that year, to me that was the death of the Spice Girls. If hundreds of little girls will imitate that damn union jack dress then how many of her fans will imitate her new diet. It sets a deadly ball rolling...
Although I shouldn't be too worried. Teenagers don't like Geri, she's far too uncool and cheesy for them. geri's main fanbase now are gay men.

Never mind the extreme emaciation. I was more perturbed by the butterfly top she was wearing. It is the uniform of every scally, person-less-rich-and-brilliant-than-me and nedette across the nation. Perhaps Halliwell was trying to be down with the single brain celled sewer scum that she fits in oh so well with.

ANOTHER reason why Cuntiwell is a cunt courtesy of this weeks PopBitch:
>> Poisoned dwarf returns <<
Geri remembers it's only a game
Geri Halliwell was spotted watching England's Euro
2004 games in a Chelsea pub. During the match
against France pub-goers said she looked a little
confused, and kept shouting "Which one's David?"
And as if that wasn't annoying enough, when
France scored two goals in the last two minutes
Geri tried to cheer up the other punters by
going around saying "It's only a game".
I wonder if she also 'sang' to the pubgoers to cheer them up. Hope the bitch got bottled.

And only a gimp wouldn't realise the song is completely tongue-in-cheek. The song's not meant to be serious. That's not cuntish. It's funny and football *is* only a game. I find it pathetic when I see people crying over a bloody football match. |

I assume then that the other 11 or so shriekings that she passes off as songs (I'd liken them all to a SCUD missile aimed directly at the eardrums) are not meant to be taken seriously either? Are you saying that Halliwell's really just a joke? That she doesn't truly exist? That she's a hologram? Please elaborate.
In addition what was she even doing down some Queen Vic-esque pub anyway? Was she trying to rebrand herself as the 'People's Princess'? I wonder if these people will comfort her with a rousing cheer of 'It's only your career' when her comeback inevitably goes a bit Lisa Scott-Lee by the end of the year. I can't wait. Perhaps she'll contract a new eating disorder.
