    Erm, hashtags don't work here ;):rolleyes:

    But we will soon see, as Gazza has a new album out soon as well. Could be close I think, but you have a nice Robbie and Olly duet coming up first Kenny ;)

    How come this has been has three threads going in here? Thought that's why an 'appreciation thread' was started so folk could wax lyrical?

    I agree. Gary will perform his material on The X Factor, and it will be instantly more successful than anything Geri has put out in recent times.

    Geri is from an era where miming was the norm and you didn't even need to be able to sing. These days, she just doesn't cut it. She looks tired and out of shape, and her vocals are atrocious even with backing vocals.

    Gary still has great vocals and has written a few moderate hits in recent times. Geri has done none of those things. My vote goes to Gary. :)

    Funny though that Geri has sold millions more records.....

    Wth this new material, We'll see..

    Gary's always needed the backing of Take That to see any kind of Success,
    Geri has proven herself as a solo artist. (12 Million solo sales...)

    His latest release is dire and about as dull as his personality.

    At least Geri has balls, star quality and proper pop star appeal.

    Gary seems to appeal to middle aged housewives - though I fear without the backing of TT he won't fare so well - just like his earlier solo efforts.

    For all the Daily Mails questionable reporting I think they have this spot on.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2443059/The-Iron-ing-Lady-Geri-Halliwell-poses-Twitter-pic-bra-presses-clothes--ahead-toe-curling-live-performance-new-single.html
    The appearance will do little to silence Geri's critics. Her vocals were both weak and occasionally out of tune, leaving audience members underwhelmed by the performance.
    One YouTube viewer simply wrote 'The vocals...' while Twitter critics were less polite

    One wrote: 'Geri, everything went downhill after It's Raining Men. And right now you're drowning in a puddle', while another said: 'What was she and #thefootyshow thinking. Geri Halliwell's footy show performance has got to be the most awkward I've seen!'

    Kenny the song would be OK as a fifth string album track but even then its pretty dated and weak (as are Geri's vocals).

    I can't stand Barlow but even though I've only heard a short snatch of his new single - its way more relevant and it cannot be denied that his voice is better than Geri's (although that isn't exactly a glowing endorsement).

    Back to Geri and that performance - who did the choreography? Lego possibly?

    So, who does GP appeal to?

    kenny, seriously...why can you still not just let this go already? i don't know why you feel the need to try and create a war between these two. literally nobody else gives a shit. and you will never convince anyone.

    and you keep bandying about that geri's sold 12million solo yet are completely unable to prove it beyond "'X' told me so".....that's not proof. when people ask for statisical proof to back up your claim, they're asking for sales receits (note: sales, not shipping!). to my knowledge you have as of yet been unable to provide these beyond those that other forum members have provided for you, placing geri's sales several million lower than what you claim.

    Much as I loathe The Barlow, he has just announced a solo arena tour, something I'm entirely certain would not be possible for Geri at this moment in time (or at any time after the disbanding of The Spice Girls).

    I doubt Geri would be able to draw a crowd to a performance in McDonalds.

    Honey, with 75 million record sales with the Spice Girls, 12 million solo sales and a combined 11 number one singles, she has nothing to prove.

    This is for the fans. Not the odd-balls who are intent on bashing every move she makes!

    Half of me is a great song.

    We'll see.

    Then why don't you listen to all the other Geri fans and talk in the appreciation thread? If you are so determined for it to be 'for the fans'.
