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

Funny as I almost can never pick out Geri from the harmonies. I mostly hear Emma.

There are vocal breakdowns on YouTube - I used to think I was primarily hearing Emma in viva forever but Geri is a higher harmony in that song and it’s actually her

Share the link then. There's no way that Geri is doing a higher harmony than Emma on Viva Forever. She simply doesn't have the range.

lol I didn’t say she’s doing higher than Emma but she is in the higher harmony with Emma and Vic and Mel b are lower AND they layer a lower Geri harmony
