English pop singer Dane Bowers has recommended Victoria Bekcham to just stay in the fashion industry and refrain from going back to making pop music.

According to contactmusic, the ex-Spice Girl has been told by Bowers, who she collaborated with for the track "Out of Your Mind", to stay away from pop music because her ability in designing is better than her musical talent.

"I think she should stick to fashion design, but she'd probably say that herself. The whole fashion thing is definitely where her future lies," said Bowers.

He insists though that Beckham has more vocal ability than she is given credit for.

"She's the first person to say that she's no Mariah Carey, but she can hold a tune. You don't make it as far as the Spice Girls did if you can't sing at all," he said.
