"It's Raining Men is the opening single to Geri Halliwell's sophomore album effort, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster. Okay, so maybe she's not a Weather Girl, but she still does the song with effortless grace. This song was originally a 1984 hit in case you didn't know. Geri's cover isn't as good, but it's still pretty awesome. This is what the single's got:1) IT'S RAINING MEN (RADIO EDIT): Geri's shorter version of It's Raining Men. The song is pretty cool and Geri has proved her overrated vocals once again. The beat is awesome as well; it sounds almost exactly like the original song, except this version has more enhanced modern acoustics.2) I WAS MADE THAT WAY: I have yet to still hear this song, but I have read the lyrics and it the lyrics look very imaginative. This song is not a B-Side, this is also on the upcoming album.3) BRAVE NEW WORLD: Futuristic acoustics make this song completely, backed by Geri's vocals. This is a great song to wake up to in the morning. It is full of energy and it can really get you going. This is the official B-Side to this single.4) IT'S RAINING MEN (PC CD-ROM VIDEO): This video is okay- Geri is supposed to be a gymnastics dancer who wears black leg warmers and she is dancing in a room with a bunch of judges. The doors to the room break open and the room becomes flooded with men. Geri and all the men proceed to the street and continue their dancing there. This video is okay, apart from the fact that it repeats the cliche of having an artist performing in front of a bunch of dancers. Geri has yet to make a video to surpass a video such as Look At Me."

Geri returns - good or bad?

"Geri Halliwell has finally done a good song that deserved to go to #1 in the UK. The ratio of the song that I like is 90% music and 10% vocals.Geri has been slated one of the worlds worst singers and most voted to be kicked out of the studio - but hey, shes enjoying her life so what can you do about.However, the song is a re make of the Weather Girls 'Its Raining Men' back in the old days. Geri has somehow proved herself to get in my good books.The single is an uptempo dance number which has a fantastic beat. The video isn't too bad either. If you thought her last singles 'Look at me' & 'Bag It Up' were good, ya gonna love this."

BRILLIANT!GERI¡
