i really wish geri didn't leave. seems like her departure put the remaining spice girls in a position where they didn't know what to do musically. this album tries a bit too hard--to be R&B. it's like these are imposters-not the same spice girls i knew and loved. you can change musically but IT HAS TO SOUND GOOD. maybe it's me but i feel that they even sound sad, mopy, and energy-less b/c Geri's not in the studio. they don't have that previous fun, spark and grit in their voices like on the previous 2 albums. i keep imagining that they were crying over geri and the future of the group right before they started recording the song i am listening to. there's nothing catchy or good! Holler is only ok. and like the Amazon review so rightly said, seems like they are stealing music from other people. the reviewer sums up this album perfectly when they say, this has all been heard before.
