Geri Halliwell |
Geri Halliwell, everybody's favorite one-time Turkish game show hostess and former Spice Girl, is shaping up to be a formidable solo star. She's got the charisma, the looks, and the right attitude -- it may be hard work, but she makes it look fun. Halliwell also has a brassy, if underdeveloped vocal style which she uses in the same way as the ultimate Spice Woman, the saucy Shirley Bassey. Halliwell seems to be having a ball shouting out lyrics such as "Look at me / I'm your fantasy," even as baby-boomer parents are left wondering exactly how all this is supposed to be "girl empowering." Yet while Halliwell doesn't have the top talent of Bassey or Ann-Margret, she displays the same interest in a broad variety of styles. Like her mentor, the pre-Lourdes Madonna, she'll try anything once. It just remains to be seen if Halliwell's career will prosper long enough for her to attempt everything she wants to.Find Geri Halliwell cds and Geri Halliwell records on EMI Records. |
