Geri Halliwell - Look At Me - Best song of 1999?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31mlEEs9_Vk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_at...Halliwell_song) From one of the most controversial videos of the 90's with Geri in a coffin, cavorting nuns, and the initial "look at me, I'm no longer a Spice Girl" vibes to the sheer catchy hook, powerful vocals, and and a beat that sounds as fresh today as it did back then, surely this is 1999's best offering. Had Geri been taken more seriously she could have been the new Madonna. The lyrics are also so meaningful and true for everyone. |

Every song Geri Halliwell has ever released, either as a solo artist or with the Spice Girls, has been utter shit.

Had Geri been taken more seriously she could have been the new Madonna. I can't believe you just said that. |

I can only speak for myself but I personally prefer Look At Me over Baby One More Time.
Look At Me & Mi Chico Latino are definetly two of my fave pop songs of 1999. |

LOL watching that vid you can see that not only has Geri aped much of Madonna's imagery (nun, Hollywood glamour, the river boat from Like a Virgin) but I can see where Lady Gaga (the great original artist remember kids) got some of her imagery from - the nun, the swimming pool imagery at the end premiscent of Poker Face.
I'm not a Geri Halliwell fan in the slightest, but I have no time for delusional Madonna fans who insist she's a never-ending source of originality when she blatantly isn't and never will be. She’s really no better than Geri and Lady Gaga. And like Geri, Madonna is hardly known for being a gifted singer. And to answer the OP's question. No, Look at Me isn't the best song of 1999. |

No no no
Geri's solo career is better best forgotten. |

Awful record, with Geri's poorest ever vocals (and that's saying something).
