New Magazine UK reveals today that XFactor popstar, Olly Murs,
has turned down an opportunity to duet with Geri Halliwell.

Some might see it as a lucky escape for the rising star, yet he
might regret his decision if Geri's new album does well in the charts!

Olly tells the magazine:
''I turned her down. I just wasn't too sure, it didn't feel right'.
(New Magazine UK -Olly Murs)

This will come as a major disappointment for Ginger Spice!
Sources say she's a huge Olly fan! It seems like he didn't
want to take a risk with his own career! He writes nearly
all of his own songs, a true singer-songwriter! Perhaps it's
too early on in his music career to be thinking of
collaborations!

Olly has enjoyed relative music success, his debut album went
Double Platinum and reached No2 in the Official UK music chart.
Now he's landed himself a TV Presenting job on The UK XFactor's
spin-off show, The Xtra-Factor!

Lets not forget that Geri was once in the most influential
girl band of all time, The Spice Girls. In 1997, the group
cracked America, their debut album SPICE sold over
7.4 million copies stateside!
Some might say that the Spice Girls were a pop-cultural
phenomenon! The group seemed to fall apart when Geri left.

I think Olly is more likely to duet with someone like
Stevie Wonder. Somehow I think Geri will find a bigger
star to duet with! I know, perhaps her best mate,
George Michael could help her out?
