“Geri can’t sing live. She is s**t,” Geri Halliwell’s vocal coach Zoe Tyler is reported to have said. Well, tell us something we didn’t already know. Tyler apparently went on to add: “She is s**t but she knows she is. At least she is realistic. She admits she is not a great singer but she is determined to give the best possible performance she can. We have been working together a lot and she has been working incredibly hard.”

Wouldn’t being realistic mean not going on a world tour? Perhaps not even trying to be a singer? If only all five of the girls had been “realistic” ten years ago…
