I can't believe how bad this self indulgent crap is. Geri and her friend talking about her vibrator (not funny), Geri moaning about how she's not the most important person in anyone's life anymore etc.etc.etc.
At least that first Geri documentary on Channel 4 a few years ago had genuine interest - Geri had not long left Spice Girls and people were actually interested in her. This is just a feature length promo showing how annoying and deluded she actually is.

if she say "d'yu know what i mean?" again...i'm gonna scream
that record company meeting was the most david brent style crineworthy "from my own experience talk" i've ever seen.
shes like an old woman going through a mid life crisis bless her.
its true the first documentary made you wanna hug her...but now i justcan't belive the stuff coming out of her mouth.
she probably does not realise how much of a petulant diva she come across as.
its impossible to be natural with cameras in front of your face..so i don'r belive we will ever know the "real geri"

Great minds eh? i just posted the same thing in the Clowns and Idiots Section. Even though it is TV related, there is no bigger idiot than Geraldine Halliwell.

Another one agreeing here, I'm afraid. I can't believe that no one has slapped her and told her to get a grip yet. Her manager must be mad - why would anyone want to take THAT on?
I can only hope she watches it back and that realisation finally dawns on her. But I won't be holding my breath.

i realise she spouted alot of rubbish, but there's still something totally likeable about her which just lets me forgive her mispronuciations and 'do you know what i means'
half the new album sounded ace, the other half crap.
she wasn't being a diva! she realised that she wanted to be in a relationship and be the most important person in someones life.(dont we all?) that sounds like a woman who is realising her needs. nothing wrong in becoming self aware- even if you have to talk alot of crap to get there!

I thought she was VERY open and honest. She's a fruitloop, but she always has been and you either love it or hate it. Personally I love how she's a freak and find it far more interesting than 'blank canvases' like Kylie or Rachel Stevens who have nothing to say.

Why the fuck was she crying on Top Gear. And did anyone else think it seemed really fake.
Edit: But judging by her Sex & the City cameo, it was too convincing (even though it was totally unconvincing) to be fake.

A friend came round to watch it and we didn't stop laughing, practically the whole way through.
It would be quicker to list the bits where she came across as a normal human being than the funny bits.
I particularly liked "Do you know what? I see my albums like children."
Well forgive me Geri, but I thought women of your age couldn't have children any more.
Love her though!
I did find her support for Victoria and David rather sweet and touching.

Although I don't think she came across aswe4ll as possible, and neither did she- she posted a message about it on her site that finished with 'moving on....'

She did seem way to over confident for my liking in the doc last night! almost expected to see her hidden away somewere reading a script! as it did feel like most of it was put on just for the cameras! ...and i hope for her sake her new single sells, she's going to need all the cash to pay for the dogey doo fines her dogs leave!

I don't need to say anything other than Thank God this was put on television. I haven't heard so many people slag Geri off in ages. She's a bloody idiot.

Oh bless that womans cotton socks!
She is an absolute loon, but there is something terribly endearing about her. I don't think she was putting on an act for the camera's and that's what makes her so easy to criticise - she does nothing but gabble on! - "d'you know what I mean?"
I think even those who criticise her would agree the world of pop would be a less intersesting place without her - but in saying that i don't agree about the dull Kylie comments above ( it's called "keeping an air of mystery" about you, hence her many years in the industry ) .
But back to Geri : Is anyone else now tempted to buy "Passion"?

I particularly liked "Do you know what? I see my albums like children." There's a line in Julia Davis and Rob Brydon's Human Remains where the character says: 'I see my songs like my children, or perhaps like an uncle, a special uncle, who's particularly friendly at Christmas time...' As Dr. Bastard has said, it's almost futile to slag it off, such was the nature of her derangement. If she'd have tried to produce a (dull) study of delusion and egotism she could not have done much better. And she looked fat.

I thought she came across, good. She was funny & entertaining, she did waffle on a bit but so what? Her wee mum was brilliant as well.
When she sang "Mi Chico Latino" with the 2 guys in her house, she gave me a wee shiver, she was good.
I felt really, sorry for her when none of her family was going to her gig. She looked really dissapointed, I wanted to be all there for her & stuff.

Just remembered a bit that truly beggared (or should that be buggered?) belief. She started saying 'i've got that bloody song going round my head: 'you're a dj I'm a song, take me out and turn me on...' It's your own fuckin song you twat! And don't get me started on the bits when she moans about the press ('there's just so many of them!') to a fuckin' CAMERA! Give me strength...Also, a sinister warning to any civillians whose sentences , like, go up, at the end?

Apparently it got 1.1 million viewers! A lot of the girls at my work seemed to like it and said she seemed very grounded and has the same problems as everyone. Probably liked it cause of all the men bashing.

I found her likeable and a bit nutty like me, but I did wonder what the point of it was (well yes, promotion) but she just leaves herself open for critisism. I'd have made them edit the dog crap stuff out as that was quite bad.

Personally I love how she's a freak and find it far more interesting than 'blank canvases' like Kylie or Rachel Stevens who have nothing to say. I haven't seen this yet, as I was ploughing my way through a mountain of coursework, but I taped it. So although I can't really comment about it right now, I've got to say I agree with bigbackdoor in the fact that I much prefer my celebs a bit wacky and interesting than bland and void of any kind of personality.

I but in saying that i don't agree about the dull Kylie comments above ( it's called "keeping an air of mystery" about you, hence her many years in the industry ) . i agree wit the ned for our pop stars to have a bit of mystery about them . this is whats missing. we know way too much. i don't need to know how many vibrators she has. its not a competition you know ;-) this is why we don't have any real pop stars in this country. it was interesting att he end of the doc when she admitted she cringed at some of the footage. i think this did more damage then good. but hey it got ppl talking about her.

I thought she looked very old for her age. How old is she? less than 40? Those lines on her forehead and round her mouth would do justice to a 50 yr old.
What's tha saying a woman aged 20 has a face she was born with at aged 40 a face she deserves

There's no mystery about Kylie - she's just very, very dull! What is it about Aussie females: Kylie, Delta Goodrem, Natalie Imbruglia - do their stage/music schools have a strict 'no charisma' policy when admitting new students or is it that they all have Olivia Newton-John as their role model?
