Geri and her larger than life personality are one of the big reasons the spice girls were so successful. I adore her.

[@saidjaredmoralesroman8417]

And that would explain why the Spice Girls weren't the same after Geri's departure

[@GrannySkeksis]

[@anthonyquinones8890]

I love Geri. She came prepared to all her interviews and did her research on her on all the hosts.

[@shawnuel]

And brought gifts of some kind for every one of them. I assume that is not customary on talk shows in America so is it just that Geri is inordinately thoughtful or is this a British custom? Seeing how she went out of her way to uplift Jimmy, I'd guess it is just her nature.

I'm just amazed how much time has gone by. It feels like it was yesterday I was 13 years old watching Geri Halliwell rocking the stage in her iconic union jack flag dress. Now she's a mature, married mother and best selling author. She is a joy to watch after 27 years.

[@bestdisco1979]

@@ryansummer546😂😂😂 probably not.

[@noeroa]

I’ve seen Geri’s evolution over the years, ever since she was a Spice Girl, through the triumphs and struggles of her solo career, the Spice Girls reunions and her life as a family woman. She’s mastered wearing white and completely shed her Ginger Spice persona, and just when I thought she’d become this Stepford wife/washed-down version of her old self, I see her in this interview and I realize that the fire, charisma and commanding attitude is still there, but she grew up, matured and is now a polished woman with a different set of life goals and priorities.

[@raflesia74]

❤

[@PastaSauce.]

She lost the punk rock gobby side and started hanging around with Tories.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Wow... So just because she got married and matured, you thought of her as a ''stepford wife''? Do you despise/resent all married people in general or what? It's good that you changed your mind but it was mature to think of her (or anyone for that matter) in that derogatory way to begin with.

[@noeroa]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 gee, you sure got a lot of juice out of a very small bite… My point was that it seemed as if she’d lost her essence and effervescence, and no, I don’t resent married people in general.

[@camrentoorealcam8437]

I didn’t grow up with the Spice girls since I was born in the 2000’s but they’re one of my favorite girl bands. I’m very glad Geri was on the show, she’s an icon lol, she was not the greatest singer but she was the brain of the group, she knew how to go beyond and make the band a girl power movement in the 90’s. She’s funny and clever. I’d listen to her all day 😂💖

[@DisabledExplorer]

I agree with a majority of what you said, as I was born in the almost mid-80's, followed the Spice Girls from their inception in the early 90's but in my opinion, Mel B, "Scary Spice" was the brain of the group. :) Just my thought. :D And Mel. C. is my favorite.

They were half my childhood almost haha.. This interview made me cry at times, just knowing it's been 27 years & I still feel the same way.. And so much of the foundation of me, is because they showed up & showed us all spice, individuality, and Girl Power ;P To fight, never give up, be you, celebrate, make your own way, and get what you deserve - no less! 😊👏 And to laugh & dance in between I guess 😅🌟
