Geri: I FEEL GOOD! I THINK YOU PROJECT HOW YOU FEEL. I FEEL DAMN GOOD BEING HERE. IT'S A LOVELY COUNTRY AND EVERYONE IS BEING SO NICE. THAT EXPLAINS IT. I'M GLOWING FROM ALL OF YOU. CARRY ON.
Caller: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAD FUN MAKING THE SPICE GIRLS MOVIE AND I WONDER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO A MOVIE ON YOUR OWN?
Geri: I WOULD. IT'S BEEN ASKED BEFORE, BUT I HAVE TO DO THINGS THAT I REALLY ENJOY AND LIKE AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO BE -- IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE RIGHT THING FOR ME AND AT THE MOMENT NOTHING HAS COME UP THAT I THINK "YEAH, I REALLY WANT TO DO THAT." BUT AT THE MOMENT I'M MAKING MINI-MOVIES. MY MUSIC VIDEOS, I DO MY PLAYACTING IN THEM. THEY'LL DO FOR NOW BUT WHO KNOWS.
Master T: THANKS, BILL.
Caller: THANKS A LOT. COULD YOU SAY HI TO MY NIECE AND NEPHEWS FOR ME... TAYLOR AND MICHAEL.
Geri: TAYLOR AND MICHAEL, HELLO!
Caller: THANK YOU.
Geri: YOU'RE WELCOME.
Master T: WE'RE GOING TO INTERACT A LOT MORE WITH GERI HALLIWELL AT Much SO COME ON BACK! (Applause and cheering) (Music) \M Look at me \M \M Look... look... \M \M Look... \M \M Look at me \M \M Look... look... \M \M Look... \M \M At me \M (Applause and cheering)
Geri: HEY!
Master T: BACK HERE, A WHOLE HOUR HANGING OUT LIVE WITH GERI HALLIWELL AT Much.
Geri: YES!
Master T: HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT YOU STILL DIDN'T HAVE YOUR OLD VIBE, IT'S STILL THERE. THE CATS OUTSIDE --
Geri: I KNOW!
Master T: THEY HAVE BEEN OUT THERE SINCE 6 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
Geri: I DIDN'T THINK THERE WOULD BE EVEN ONE PERSON STANDING OUTSIDE.
Master T: LET'S GO SEE THEM. (Applause and cheering) (Screaming)
Geri! Geri! Geri! (Continued screaming)
Master T: SHHHH...
Geri: SHUSH! SHUSH!
Master T: ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A QUESTION HERE. OKAY?
Geri: OKAY. SHUSH!
Master T: OKAY.
Geri! Geri! Geri!
Master T: What's your question?
New Speaker: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. WHEN YOU WERE IN THE SPICE GIRLS, IT WAS GIRL POWER. NOW THAT YOU'RE BY YOURSELF, YOU STILL HAVE THE GIRL POWER. IS IT ON YOUR ALBUM?
Geri: I THINK OF IT AS BEING REAL POWER, THAT I'M WHO I AM. I'M OBVIOUSLY MORE OF A WOMAN, DEVELOPING INTO A WOMAN NOW, BUT IT'S GOING JUST ONE STEP FURTHER.
Geri! Geri! Geri! (Continued loud screaming)
Master T: WE'RE GOING TO DO A GERI-BYTE AND WE'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE. (Continued loud screaming) \M Look... look... \M \M Look at me! \M \M Happy birthday to you \M
New Speaker: YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE VERY SEXY.
New Speaker: OH, NO! \M Happy birthday to you \M \M Happy birthday... your royal highness \M \M Happy birthday to you... \M (Applause)
Geri: FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Master T: LOOK AT THAT, EH?
Geri: YOU'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK!
Master T: WELL, YOU'RE HERE NOW AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS HOOKED UP. YOU PINCH HIS BUM, KISS HIM... WHAT'S GOING ON?
Geri: I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS WHETHER YOU'RE A PRINCE OR A POSTMAN OR WHATEVER, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER YOUR AGE. I THINK HE'S A VERY CHARMING GUY. THAT'S IT, BASICALLY.
Master T: WHAT KIND OF PINCH WAS IT?
Geri: I'M SPANISH, HALF SPANISH, THIS HALF. MY MOTHER IS SPANISH AND I'M VERY LIKE "MAMA-MIA," A VERY AFFECTIONATE PERSON. THAT'S WHY I RESPOND TO PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE... I LIKE TO HUG AND THAT'S WHO I AM. IT WASN'T A PINCH; IT WAS A PAT.
Master T: A PAT ON HIS ROYAL BUM. DID HE SAY, "THANK YOU, GERI"?
Geri: HE CAME BACK IN SMILES.
Master T: I'M SURE A LOT OF GUYS WOULD SMILE. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP THE PHONE LINES. WE HAVE LISA.
Geri: HI, LISA.
Caller: HI, GERI. YOU LOOK WONDERFUL, SOUND GREAT, AND MY DAUGHTER AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR NEW SONG BUT I'M CALLING TODAY TO GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. YOU HEAR LOTS OF COMMON FAN QUESTIONS BUT TODAY I'M CALLING TO THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR MY DAUGHTER.
Geri: OH! (Applause and cheering)
Caller: MY DAUGHTER CAT IS TEN YEARS OLD AND I WANT TO RELATE AN EXPERIENCE WE HAD. LAST YEAR SHE ENTERED THE SCHOOL SCIENCE FAIR AND WAS SUCCESSFUL AND PLACED FIRST ALONG WITH HER FRIEND JASMINE, AND THEY WENT ON TO THE REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR AND WON THAT CONTEST. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE JUST GOING, "YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB," BUT SHE SAID, "HEY, MOM, THIS IS GIRL POWER. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT." IT IS. IT'S NOT ABOUT MUSIC AND CLOTHES. IT'S BEING WHO YOU CAN BE WITH WHAT YOU CAN HAVE, DOING THE BEST.
Geri: THAT'S VERY NICE.
Caller: I THINK YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND WHAT KIND OF A SPOKESPERSON CAN WE ASK FOR ANY BETTER THAN YOU?
Geri: OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. (Applause and cheering)
Geri: THAT'S VERY GOOD OF YOU TO SAY THAT. I CAN SAY TWO THINGS ON THAT: I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND THE SEXIEST THING IS YOUR MIND. YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU CAN REALLY USE IT AND DO POSITIVE THINGS FOR IT, BUT AS FOR BEING A ROLE MODEL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M JUST A HUMAN BEING. I'M NOT PERFECT AND I MAKE MISTAKES. THAT'S A LOT TO LIVE UP TO, BUT IT'S VERY NICE AND VERY FLATTERING. IF I CAN INSPIRE ANYTHING, TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE DIFFERENT ROLE MODELS, WHETHER IT'S YOUR MOTHER OR... ANYBODY. ANYBODY THAT CAN IDENTIFY WITH ME, THAT'S GREAT. WHEN YOU'RE IN SCHOOL SOMETIMES THERE'S LIKE THE HEAD CHEERLEADER, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON OR THE HEAD OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM AND THEY'RE ALWAYS THE WINNERS AND YOU KIND OF SIT BACK AND THINK, "I'M NOT AS COOL AS THAT." I FELT LIKE THAT AND I TURNED TO MUSIC AND LITERATURE AND THEY WERE MY FRIENDS, AND WHAT I THINK HAPPENS, THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE PEAKED AT SCHOOL AND THE OTHERS, IT'S QUITE REASSURING TO KNOW YOU GO PAST THEM. YOU ARE GOING FURTHER AND THEY'RE STILL THE SAME AND SO THAT'S INSPIRING. IF I CAN INSPIRE ANYBODY WITH MY MUSIC, WHAT I HAVE TO SAY, THAT'S BRILLIANT AND I HAVE DONE MY JOB. THAT'S BRILLIANT. THANK YOU. VERY NICE OF YOU TO SAY SO. (Applause and cheering)
Master T: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AN AUDIENCE QUESTION FROM JENNA?
Geri: HELLO, JENNA.
New Speaker: IT'S VERY NICE TO MEET YOU. I ALWAYS WANTED TO.
Geri: IN THE TOILET, DIDN'T WE. I'M SO NERVOUS I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOILET ABOUT THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TEN MINUTES!
New Speaker: I THINK YOU'RE SO COOL. YOU SAID YOUR NEW C.D. IS VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND KIND OF CHEEKY. CAN YOU COMPARE IT TO ALANIS MORISSETTE'S...
Geri: NO, WHAT I THINK IT IS -- WHAT I GAVE TO THE SPICE GIRLS, IT WAS A MASSIVE PIECE OF ME, MORE THAN A FIFTH, OF TAKING IT ON. SO HOPEFULLY SPICE GIRLS' FANS WILL LOVE WHAT I HAVE DONE BUT HOPEFULLY I HAVE TAKEN IT ONE STEP FURTHER, THREE STEPS FURTHER BECAUSE I THINK YOU NEED STIMULATION. MUSIC AND ART, YOU SHOULD RUN AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. IF YOU WANT TO JUST ENTERTAIN AND RUN AROUND IN YOUR UNDERWEAR, THAT'S FINE. BUT IF YOU WANT TO LOOK INTO THE LYRICS, I NEVER WASTE A WORD; I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THINGS. IT'S NOT ANGST, ANGRY, NOT SELF-INDULGENT, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING. IN THE FIRST SONG, IT'S ABOUT PUBLIC IMAGE, BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN JUST DO THAT TO IT AND IT'S FINE. BUT WHATEVER LEVEL... I THINK IT'S AGELESS. I THINK TEENAGERS ARE GROWING UP FASTER AND 30-YEAR-OLDS, 50-YEAR-OLDS ARE STILL TEENAGERS IN THIS DAY AND AGE, YOU KNOW? EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY MUSIC.
New Speaker: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Geri: YOU'RE WELCOME.
Master T: THANK YOU, JENNA. WE WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE VIDEO "LOOK AT ME," WILL BE COMING YOUR WAY LIVE ON APRIL 16th AT NOON... AT NOON, SO LOOK OUT FOR THAT. WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN AND CHAT A LOT MORE WITH GERI HALLIWELL AFTER THIS, LIVE ON Much! (Applause and cheering) \M Look... look... \M \M Look at me! \M \M Look... look... look... \M \M ...look at me \M \M Thank you very much \M \M I need somebody with a human touch \M
New Speaker: LOT 98, BELLY DANCER COSTUME. I DON'T THINK I DARE LOOK! (Laughing) THERE IS A VEIL WITH THIS WHICH ARRIVED THIS MORNING. WOW! I START THIS AT 1,100, WORN IN THAT AMAZING VIDEO IN THE DESERT. I'LL START THIS ONE AT 850. IT'S WITH ME AT 850. CAN I SAY NINE? 900? 950. WITH ME AT 950 POUNDS... SHE'S OPENING THE COAT. WE HAVE MORE BIDDING. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE GERI HALLIWELL TO HELP ME SELL THE FINAL LOT OF THE SALE... (Applause)
Geri: HELLO. (Applause)
New Speaker: FOR THE LAST TIME, 36,200...
Geri: SOLD!
New Speaker: PLEASE WELCOME THE EX-SPICE GIRL FORMERLY KNOWN AS GINGER, GERI HALLIWELL. (Music) (Applause and cheering)
Geri: WELL, GOOD EVENING, AMERICA! IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE TONIGHT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE ME, I KNOW I USED TO LOOK LIKE A DRAG QUEEN! \M Look at me! \M (Applause and cheering)
Master T: AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE AUCTIONED OFF EVERYTHING, ALL THAT STUFF WITH THE SPICE GIRLS, ALL THE COSTUMES AND OUTFITS, WAS THAT ALSO FOR -- FOR CHARITY BUT WAS IT ALSO...
Geri: I ALWAYS PLANNED TO DO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE I HAVE A PHILOSOPHY NOT TO LET YOUR POSSESSIONS POSSESS YOU. YOU SHOULD TRAVEL THROUGH LIFE LIGHTLY. THERE'S NO POINT IN BEING A GRANNY AND SAYING "OH, LOOK AT THIS," AND YOUR GRANDCHILD IS ON THE COMPUTER GAME... THERE WAS A LOT OF MONEY RAISED AND IT WAS CATHARTIC AND THERAPEUTIC FOR SELLING THE CLOTHES. I HAD TO GET RID OF THEM. IT WAS GOOD.
Master T: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GEORGE MICHAEL.
Geri: YEAH.
Master T: HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?
Geri: IT'S QUITE FUNNY HOW LIFE TURNS OUT. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 15 -- NO, YOUNGER, 12... I IDOLIZED HIM, WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM, THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO MARRY HIM! I EVEN FOUND A DIARY WITH A PICTURE OF HIM STUCK IN IT... I MET HIM AT A CHARITY LAUNCH ONE DAY AND FLIRTED WITH HIM, NOT REALIZING I WASN'T HIS TYPE. WE BECAME TELEPHONE BUDDIES BECAUSE WE BOTH LOST A PARENT AND COME FROM THE SAME AREA AND BOTH HAVE A MEDITERRANEAN PARTICIPATE, AND THEN WHEN I LEFT THE SPICE GIRLS, I WAS LIVING ABROAD AND SO LONELY -- CAN YOU IMAGINE? -- BECAUSE THEY WERE MY FOUR BUDDIES AND HE SAID, "COME STAY FOR A FEW DAYS" AND I STAYED THREE MONTHS! HE WAS A PILLAR OF STRENGTH FOR ME. I WAS A HEADLESS CHICKEN. IT WAS A REALLY TRAUMATIC THING I WENT THROUGH. HE GUIDED ME, WAS A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON; HE WAS FANTASTIC!
Master T: HAVE YOU BEEN THERE FOR HIM WITH SOME OF THE STUFF HE'S GONE THROUGH?
Geri: HE'S A VERY FOCUSED GUY AND VERY TOGETHER AND TEN YEARS OLDER THAN ME SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A VERY FUNNY SUMMER TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES ANGELS COME DOWN JUST WHEN YOU NEED THEM AND HE'S A FANTASTIC GUY; HE REALLY IS.
Master T: WE'RE ALMOST GOING TO WRAP UP HERE --
Geri: OH, I DON'T WANT TO GO!
Master T: TOLD YOU IT SHOULD BE TWO HOURS.
Geri: WE NEED MORE TIME!
Master T: AFTER THE BREAK WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND TALK WITH GERI HALLIWELL, LIVE AT MuchMusic.
Geri: BYE! IT GOES SO QUICK, DOESN'T IT?! \M Look... look... \M \M Look at me \M \M Look... look... look... \M \M .... Look at me \M
New Speaker: OKAY, I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE PREVIEW... \M Look at me \M
New Speaker: SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT! \M Look at me... \M (Music) \M Look... look... look.... \M \M Look... look... \M
Geri: SHE'S BACK! OKAY. THE FOUR CHARACTERS ARE THE VAMP, NARCISSTIC, IN LOVE WITH HERSELF. THE OPPOSITE OF THAT IS THE NUN, THE VIRGIN IN LOVE WITH GOD, IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD. THEN YOU HAVE THE BRIDE, REPRESENTS CHASTITY. OPPOSITE THAT IS THE P.R. WOMAN WHO REPRESENTS A WORKAHOLIC. MY KIND OF MANIFESTO FOR THE ALBUM WAS, "IF THIS IS THE LAST ALBUM I EVER DO, LET'S TAKE IT TO THE MAX. LET'S NOT BE SHY HERE." IT'S A BIG PART OF ME. I WROTE A LOT OF SONGS WITH THE SPICE GIRLS AND I TOOK WHATEVER I GAVE TO THE SPICE GIRLS WITH ME AND I'M HOPING MY MUSIC WILL APPEAL TO SPICE GIRL FANS AND MORE. \M Look at me! \M
Geri: WE'VE GOT TO GO.
Master T: ALL RIGHT. A LITTLE INSIGHT THERE ON THE NEW VIDEO, "LOOK AT ME." IT WILL BE ON APRIL 16th AT NOON.
Geri: I LIKE IT!
Master T: IT'S HOT, DEFINITELY.
Geri: I'LL BE HIDING UNDER THE BED CRYING.
Master T: YOU'LL BE FINE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. SO A PROMOTIONAL THING HERE... THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A BIG WORLD THING...
Geri: I'M GOING AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHT DAYS. IT SHOULD BE EIGHTY BUT THIS IS THE MILLENNIUM, SO SPEEDING IT UP A BIT. NEW YORK, RIO, SYDNEY, MILAN... I THINK THE WORLD IS A SMALL PLACE AND EVERY PLACE IS IMPORTANT. CANADA IS AS WELL. BEFORE WE GO, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR SUPPORTING ME. IT'S VERY KIND OF YOU. (Applause and cheering)
Master T: ALL RIGHT. AND... I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE MY BIG THEME BUT I DID THIS WITH MADONNA BECAUSE SHE WAS INTO YOGA AS WELL, AND YOU'RE INTO YOGA... I'LL BE YOUR SUPPORTER. AH... RISE YOUR LEGS. UP! (Applause and cheering)
Geri!
Geri: THAT'S BETTER THAN ANY DRUGS; I'M TELLING YOU! THAT'S VERY GOOD FOR YOU.
Master T: DO YOU STAY THERE FOR LIKE A WEEK OR SO?
New Speaker: YEAH, READ BOOKS, CHAT, WHATEVER. APPARENTLY IT'S GREAT FOR SEX BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO FIND OUT YET SO SEND IN YOUR C.V.s. (Applause and cheering)
Master T: I THINK I BLUSHED.
Geri: SORRY.
Master T: WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY HERE. SAY GOOD-BYE TO EVERYBODY.
Geri: BYE-BYE. LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
Master T: WE'LL SAY GOOD-BYE TO EVERYBODY OUT HERE. (Applause and cheering)
