Geri Halliwell - Mi Chico Latino [UK CD1] [ENHANCED]

The second single from Ginger Spice's 1999 solo debut album 'Schizophonic'. Pt.1 is backed with two previously unreleased non-album tracks, 'G.A.Y.' & 'Summertime', plus the CD-ROM video to 'Mi Chico Latino'. Slimline jewel case. 1999 release. Album Description

Geri shows her Latin side.

Mi Chico Latino by Geri Halliwell is a cool single, she sings a little bit in Spanish on the track. This import contains two unreleased bonus tracks, the cheeky, G.A.Y. and the sultry ballad, Summertime. Both songs are actually quite good, Geri was one cool diva back in the day. I highly recommend this rare purchase. April 19, 2008

Geris victory?

This is her second Solosingle. She shows us again that she is better without the Spice Girls. It's again a Partysong with a Latin-Flair. (If this word doesn't exist yet I've just invented it)
The Bonustracks are not on the Album. "G A Y" is one of the best songs she ever did. It's great for dancing and it reminds me of "Scream if you wanna go faster". "Summertime" is very strange. It has strange Lyrics and the melody is also strange. But i liked it after hearing it for a few times. July 31, 2002

Unimpressed

I really like Geri Halliwell but this single does not really reflect her best work.
1. Mi Chico Latino--Good song!
2. G.A.Y.--This is the exact same type of sound that 'getting better' and 'destiny' have(the b-sides to 'calling'). To make a long commentary short--It didnt make the album for a reason.
3. Summertime--Lyrically confusing although its nice to hear the different sound it has to it.
4. Video--Its just ok.
After owning 7 of Geri's singles I have to say that 2 of them are worth keeping and Her albums are outstanding so.....thats that. April 15, 2002

Surprising

Okay so Geri Halliwell; like most of her ex-bandmates the Spice Girls; doesn't have the strongest voice or profond lyrics to change the world. That is not her point,or the Spice Girls point for that matter,She just wants people to have a good time with her music and with this single it would be hard not to. "Mi Chico Latino" is a latin song that you can't help to hum and shake to. The B-Sides "G.A.Y." and "Summertime" show her range to great disco-like music to A song that suits her seductive,raspy voice. Will Geri Halliwell as a solo artist ever reach the heights she did when she was Ginger? I don't know but she probably will have a Great time trying and if she keeps making Good POP music like this, we probably would love to keep dancing to her sound. August 16, 2000

Better Than You'd Expect

The only reason to get this CD is for the song G.A.Y -- which I'm guessing is inspired by the Astoria Theater in London which hosts G.A.Y. This song should have been on her album and should have been the first single. It's irresistable and surpasses anything this Spice Girls ever could have dreamed up. BTW, G.A.Y -- both the club and song -- mean Good As You! July 12, 2000
