Victoria Beckham is no Mariah Carey but she can certainly sing, or so she says.

The Spice Girl – whose vocal ability has come under fire after she was given a catwalk strut instead of her own solo singing spot during the band's reunion tour - has defended her vocal ability.

"I'm no Mariah Carey, but I can sing” claims the 33-year-old.

"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."

Posh - who has three sons, eight-year-old Brooklyn, five-year-old Romeo and two-year-old Cruz with husband David Beckham – claims that the sole reason she agreed to the tour was so her children could see her as a ‘pop star’.

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

Victoria also revealed that her family are happier than ever after their move to Los Angeles.

She added to Elle magazine: "Going to school here, the kids are much happier. Their confidence level has gone through the roof. I'm very proud to be British, but here it's a lot more relaxed. It's the happiest as a family that we've ever been. I just love America."
