Geri Halliwell Blogs After Spice Girls MSG Show

Geri Halliwell checked in with fans on the Spice Girls blog after the British girl group’s performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City. She writes:

Hi,

So we’ve just played Madison Square Garden and it was amazing. We finally did it as a five piece (the girls did it once before after I left) and I feel so delighted… mission almost accomplished. The energy and atmosphere were amazing.

Victoria’s son Cruz was a little star. We all had our children up on stage tonight and Cruz started break dancing [Watch it below the fold]! How cool is that? It’s clearly in the family.

So, we have got six shows left to do and it’s rather like a countdown. I feel a mixture of sadness and joy. I know it’s time to come home yet I will miss everyone from the tour.

I love New York so, so much and I have had a blast here. I hit the ground running… enjoying the nightlife, the vintage shopping, the food and the people. I am in love with New York. I feel like I found a part of me that I had kind of forgotten. The Statue Of Liberty is in view as I write this and she certainly has Girl Power. New York has been liberating.

I’ve also been exposed to the world of street-style dance, and it’s so cool to see fresh talent, it’s so raw and real. Being around our tour dancers has been a privilege; they have opened my eyes to the craft of dance.

And so I close on this note… what I have learnt is that I can never say never. If you’d asked me ten years ago if I would have been at Madison Square Garden with the Spice Girls, I would have said no. But look what has happened, and that is my lesson. Job done.

Big hug and night night. I’m going out dancing now with Emma and the rest of the gang.

Much love,
Geri x

Geri Halliwell Talks With Kyle And Jackie O.

November 15, 2007 - Geri Halliwell was on the phone with Kyle and Jackie O. of 2Day FM in Sydney, Australia on Thursday (November 15) to promote the Spice Girls reunion tour and their ‘Greatest Hits’ release.

Geri also talked about her feud with Kyle, the process of rounding the girls together, her daughter Bluebell being on play dates with Victoria Beckham’s son Cruz, who she’s closest to in the group, rumors about the reunion that have been going around, how the show will be like a roller-coaster of emotions, being carried out of Robbie Williams’ hotel room in a sports bag so the paparazzi couldn’t see them, the misconception she’s been working out a lot for the tour, and more.
