Spice Girls GEM 'Song For Her' Leaks, And Everyone Is Less Than Impressed

Stop right now, thank you very much.

The Spice Girls divided fans right down the middle when Geri Horner, Mel B and Emma Bunton announced they were staging a reunion without Victoria Beckham and Mel C earlier this year.

And now one of the songs the trio has recorded has leaked, and it’s fair to say any critics of their new venture have not come around to the idea.

‘Song For Her’ began circulating online on Tuesday (22 November) evening, and its been met with a less than positive reception from fans.

Let’s just say another ‘Wannabe’ it ain’t.

A demo from Spice Girls sub-unit GEM, called “Song For Her," has leaked. It’s somehow even worse than anticipated. https://t.co/QvlaIBRk6T pic.twitter.com/TLy1UliwWR

I hope Geri, Emma and Mel don't tarnish the Spice Girls legacy by releasing that god awful song.

I wanna be a supportive fan but I CANNOT get behind this new Spice Girls/GEM song.

I think we can all agree that Song For Her shows that this Spice Girls GEM idea should never be mentioned ever again #SongForHer #GEM

2016 is already terrible why are the Spice Girls coming back as a trio. pic.twitter.com/7O0eIch3RP

Spice Girls is still owned by 5 women, 5 women are not reuniting, therefore Song For Her can't be considered a Spice Girls song.

This Spice Girls GEM song is awful. Middle of the road crap. Just not the same without Sporty carrying them vocally.

If the #GEM leak proves anything it's that @MelanieCmusic vocals elevated each and every #SpiceGirls track beyond the bland.

Getting the feeling that the Spice Girls/GEM don't actually want to be successful with these "comebacks"...

— Santana (@santanahatesyou) November 23, 2016

The new Spice Girls/GEM song is very Eurovision & I'm slightly disappointed in it. There's no oomph to it. Come on girls, don't let us down!

However, there were some fans willing to get on board with it:

Listening to Spice Girls/GEM Song For Her and i thought i would hate it but it's actually brilliant!

— Maurice (@Maurixe) November 22, 2016

I'm not sorry that I would probably listen to the Spice Girls / GEM song a fair few times and not hate it. It sounds like a total basic bop.

Well, the Spice Girls GEM song is predictably terrible.

I love it.

The leaked Gem/Spice Girls song isn't great but my 8-year-old gay-as-shit self is LOVING it

I just listened to #songforher by the #spicegirls #GEM I'm loving it! So #pop ✌🏼️🇬🇧

Well I like the Spice Girls GEM tune. Even though 5 Become 3 it's still giving me everything I need for now.

Emma and Geri were pictured together in the recording studio last month, after releasing a video with Mel B back in July, confirming their plan to reunite to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary.

Victoria and Mel C have made it clear that they don’t want anything to do with the reunion though.

“Of course, as a new group, I do [wish them luck],” she told The Sunday Times.

“I do think they should sing new material, though, because what we did as the Spice Girls was so special. “If they sang Spice Girls songs, I think I might be a bit sad.”

In studio,oooooh 🤔 @emmaleebunton

Mel C explained her decision not to reunite with her bandmates in an essay for Love magazine in August.

“There’s a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note,” she wrote.

“For me the absolute pinnacle of my Spice existence was being watched by a billion people around the globe belting out ‘Spice Up Your Life’ on top of a black cab at the 2012 London Olympics.

“Anything less than the full line-up just didn’t feel like we’d be doing justice to the band or the fans.”
