This would have gotten Miss Halliwell a 5th #1 and extended her solo career another 2 or 3 albums tbh. She should never have gotten out of that car until they caved and gave it to her
@@BabyBear1184 damn. She had so much potential. Even in the 2010s she didn't try hard enough. That 1 damn single that was very mediocre was so dumb she needed DISCO, SEX, DANCE, ELECTRO! 2009-2013 was her era to shine!
Love this. But I think the right artist was chosen. With Geri she can do tongue in cheek on her own. She doesn’t need to sing someone else’s lyrics. She’s capable of writing an equally good song, when she’s on form.
I saw the title “Some Girls” and thought it was gonna be either “Some Girls” by Madonna or “Some Girls” by Rachel Steven. I hadn’t heard about the drama around the song so I’ve just been reading about it, crazy stuff! Great song though, I remember loving it when it came out.
For those who don't know the Car Story: (From a person who worked for the music industry (Polydor to be exact) when this went down) Richard X orginally wrote the song intended for Girls Aloud to record for the their Second Album. Unfortunately, due to the dismal sales of GAs first album, Polydor wanted to Drop GA. Peter Lorraine convinces the Label to give GA another shot. So he goes to Brian Higgins (Xenomania) and asked him to create some tracks that would help GA. Brian inturn agreeded to do so if he and his team were the sole producer and writers for them. GA agreed and they started work on their Second Album. This meant that GA had to reject "Some Girls". The demo of "Some Girls" was then sent to 19 Management for Rachel Stevens. She was Richard X second choice. Geri, who was also managed by 19 Management some how saw and heard the demo of "Some Girls" and insisted that she recorded/have the song instead. 19 Management asked Richard X and he declined and said he prefered Rachel as she had already recorded a version of it. Upon hearing the news that the song was going to Rachel... (This next part was only rumored, never verified) Geri went to Richard X office/Record Studio and found his car, locked herself in it and would not get out until he gave her the song. She eventually got out, it was said that Richard X promised he would team up with her and they would write a new song together so that she would have writing credit on it. With "Some Girls" Geri would not. Don't know if this ever happended as Richard X never appeared on Passion a year later. But yeah... this was whole Car Story involving Geri acting like a 5 year old. At the time, I loved the craziness of it all and to this day after hearing this AI version, I am still loving all this drama!
Following on from this....Richard X then co-wrote the track 'Me Plus One' for Annie, which references this incident less-than-subtly, with lyrics referring to a 'wannabe señorita' who 'didn't make Italia Conti' but 'met a group of likely girls'. Listen to the track and refer to the rest of the lyrics for a light-hearted chuckle at Geri's expense, during a period in which she was at her most self-absorbed.
@@jamespaddick244a bit of diss track isn't it, lol? Geri later said the story stemmed from an incident where she needed a nap so bad during studio time that she just took one in a car and thus sparked the story, but if Richard X cowrote that song with Annie a few years later, it would be a bit reckless of him to base it on a rumor...I reckon she really did do this, but listen, I don't blame her. I would admit it. This song is such a chune I would do way more embarrassing things to make sure it was mine, lol! Like almost 20 years later and it's still a perfect song.
Hannah Robinson said it wasn’t written for anyone but Rachel wanted it and Richard X was pleased for her to do it. At the same time Geri’s A&R sent it to Geri and while she was in a session she said to Hannah that she had a great idea for a middle 8 for Some Girls and Hannah told her she thinks that song has gone to someone else, so Geri phones her manager really upset and Hannah is then threatened that she would never work in music again if Geri didn’t get that song but ultimately it was out of anyone’s hands as the deal was done. I think Geri would have done a much better video though
Wowza that is nuts! Whoa! I feel like Geri would have done a better video too, tbh. Geri was a great artist visually. Great ideas. Very fun. But Rachel and that smooth vocal delivery. Ugh. So juicy.
The lyrics of the song are so predatory and creepy and it gets worse when you think about the fact Richard X wrote it as some form of fantasy playing the power dinamic between a young aspiring singer and the stablished producer. I'm glad neither GA or Geri got this song
@@justjamie88it would not be platforming him, it would be platforming them. I wanna see ALL the deleted movie parts. The Princes Diana joke (filmed before she died,) the dinner table scene, the full length The Leader of The Gang.
@justjamie88 platform? Lol this is ai lol we don't stream bad ppls music coz it gives them money which gives them power to keep doing it.. he wojld recieve nothing from this
@@jadebel7006 If you wanna be singing that song then that's up to you but I certainly don't need to be hearing them sing the words of a paedophile in 2024!
@Max-nz7op it was originally going to be given to Geri Halliwell but Richard X was said to of been disgusted eith the suggestion hence why Raphael got it, go google it its true
Much as is nice to hear Geri's voice, the refrain is too high a tone for her singing abilities. As a matter of fact, it sounds fake as she's never beem able to sing those high notes.
I swear, no word of a lie, watching your last video I did think “should do Some Girls”, but wasn’t sure if that’d be a thing considering it wasn’t SG’s. Looking forward to this. 🫶🏼
Finally! Get on out that car Geri 😂
This would have gotten Miss Halliwell a 5th #1 and extended her solo career another 2 or 3 albums tbh. She should never have gotten out of that car until they caved and gave it to her
I'm genuinely she never got her own way in the end, she's not exactly shy when it comes to asking for what she wants!
In some alternate universe, Geri is still inside that car.
@@Nocturne22LOL
I love how Rachel was still available to provide backing with the “a hit, a lift, etc..)
WOW SOUNDS LIKE A REAL GERI SONG!!!!
It was going to go to her
@@BabyBear1184 damn. She had so much potential. Even in the 2010s she didn't try hard enough. That 1 damn single that was very mediocre was so dumb she needed DISCO, SEX, DANCE, ELECTRO! 2009-2013 was her era to shine!
@@JasonBr0wnif she had teamed up with Ministry of Sound back in the 2003/4 days she could have had some banging tunes.
Not this drama being reignited lol
I had forgotten so I’m here for it
Did we ever find out who’s car it was?
Wondeful! This sounds exactly as it has in my head for all these years 😂
I'm gonna listen to 'Me Plus One' by Annie immediately afterwards. 😅
me too!!!
The brand new single off Geri's forthcoming album, Disco Sister. Includes new B-sides and exclusive remixes. Out now.

This is amazing. Can you please do Geri singing Pharrell's Happy?
Can we get Mama with solo versions please :)
Does Rachel know about this??
You can do that sclub8 song that emma wrote???
Terminarás las canciones de su primer disco con las chicas?

This song originally was going to go to geri halliwell
It was originally intended for geri before it was even thought of, But Richard X was mortified at the idea of it going to geri
It was also originally written for Girls Aloud
@@BabyBear1184 As opposed to Rachel from S Club 7? 🤣Weird guy
@Max-nz7op it was originally going to be given to Geri Halliwell but Richard X was said to of been disgusted eith the suggestion hence why Raphael got it, go google it its true
Richard should of have her the song
This has already been done
this 1s better.
@@rreachingoutt I tend to agree
This one makes ya feel better
First of all this is NOT Geri's voice. AI needs to STOP!!!
Geris version would’ve had way more personality than this.
This song is great but I don’t think it fits Geri 😕
Better than Rachel much much better Geri voice has a personality unlike Rachel
Rachel stevens did the song better
