Victoria Beckham has defended her vocal talents, insisting that she can sing.

The Spice Girl has been criticised for her small solo parts in some songs in the band's reunion tour, which kicked off in Vancouver on Sunday.

She told the US version of Elle magazine: "I'm no Mariah Carey, but I can sing."

However, she conceded that she was not the most talented performer in the band, saying: "It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural'. You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest."

The 33-year-old also revealed that she agreed to reunite with her bandmates because she wanted her three young sons to see her perform.

She said: "I wanted my children to see that Mummy was a pop star. It was the last opportunity for them to stand in a crowd full of people screaming for the Spice Girls."
