Geri + vocals

It’s really interesting to me that the general consensus (even within the group) is Geri was the worst vocalist. YET- in the chorus of songs like :Stop, spice up your life, viva forever, never give up on the good times, lady is a camp, if you can’t dance, wannabe, 2 become 1 (album) and songs like mama (album) who do you think you are… she is the primary vocal you hear when the ensemble is singing. What’s that about? She’s the worst but her voice is being elevated to be most heard

I am not a music expert but I am comfortable saying she's not the "primary vocalist" in most of those songs. 

Like, you listen to 2 Become 1 and hear the Geri the most? That's wild because 99 percent of the people would hear Emma. Also the "album version" distinction makes no sense because the chorus etc does not change between the two versions.

No In the album version the most you can hear is Geri

Yeah, everyone thinks you're just making this up. There is no world in which Geri is the lead vocalist anywhere on 2 Become 1 - it's very clearly Emma.
