Girls Aloud to continue as a four piece?

[Smithy]

Girls Aloud are reportedly considering continuing as a four-piece without Nadine Coyle.

Band member Sarah Harding recently said that she has not seen Coyle for "ages" and is unsure of the group's future, while Kimberley Walsh has previously hinted that Coyle is holding up the group's reunion.

According to the News of the World, the band were angry when they read that Coyle said she has no plans to work on new Girls Aloud material this year.

"They're tired of her mucking them around," a source revealed. "The girls always had the end of 2010 booked in to record their next album and all of them, other than Nadine, still want to go ahead.

"If Nadine refuses they could simply go ahead as the four of them. It's not ideal and they would rather find a way to make it work, but she doesn't seem to be interested in that."

The insider added that Coyle has not been in touch with any of her bandmates recently, explaining: "The other four are still best of friends and have been rallying around Cheryl [Cole] during this tough time. That's very telling and it could be a sign of things to come. The band could survive without her. Some fans would be disappointed but they'd rather Girls Aloud continue with four members than not go on at all."

The source concluded: "Nadine is essentially mucking the other girls around. They are ready and waiting. But it's become clear to us her heart doesn't seem to be in the band."

Cheryl Cole recently confirmed that Girls Aloud have signed a deal to release at least three more albums.

Not a massive GA fan myself, but i think its a better image for the group if they continue as all 5 of them

[red]

they should just split up. girl/boy bands are sooo 90s

[WOMBAI]

Bearing in mind that Nadine is the only one that can sing - that might pose a bit of a problem for the rest of them without her!

I dont think so. Since they ditched Louis Lulu, Nadine hasn't been hogging the vocals. Which probably explains why she has the huff. But their success increased post Walsh, suddenly they started selling albums and even had 2 in the top 10 at the same time.

Point is, they do not need Nadines vocals. They all have decent enough Pop voices. Personally I think she's always been a bit aloof. Like she thinks she deserves better and bigger things in America.

Yeah, like a candle shop! :joker:

[Patrick]

OMG Just get rid of Sarah or Nicola.

More so Nicola.

Nadine is goregous.

[Stacey.]

they're falling apart :(
i think Nadines the best singer within them - be a shame to lose her.

[xDramatick]

Nicola's one of the best singers!

Don't drop any of them, they're much better as a 5-piece.
Look what happened to The Spice Girls.

[GhettoSuperstar]

Let's just hope this is tabloid bull****, otherwise it will be the worst news ever in the history of the world.

this.

[Jords]

Would prefer all 5, but if Nadine doesnt want to carry on I would like to see them go ahead as a 4-some and see how they cope.

Patrick its not about looks all the time!!! Nicola is hot imo anyway.

[Stacey.]

it wouldnt be much different without Sarah really. she should go, if anyone!

[andybigbro]

No!!!!

This.

Nicola has a good voice and Sarah and Kim aren't too shabby either.

Besides if you're going on looks then Nadine has ruined herself anyway! Kim has always been the best looking by far.

[Jords]

Kim has always been the best looking by far.

I used to think Nicola then Nadine, but now Kim and Nicola. :) I have the mega hots for Nicola for some reason, haha.

And I would like to see how the group would cope if they didnt have Cheryl, like if they were still as popular or not. Cause as much as I like Cheryl, hate how the other girls are overshadowed by her.

[Stacey.]

i think Nicola is the prettiest :p

Nicola is lovely, really unique looking. I hate how she used to get so much stick and called 'the minger' and the 'ugly one', she's gorgeous! Just because she wasn't tanned with highlighted hair like the rest of them :nono:

Hmmm yeah that would be interesting alright, unfortunately I think they would fail now if she left, she does overshadow the rest but she's also the most popular. The least talented as well which makes a joke of the whole thing really lol.

[GhettoSuperstar]

I think it's about time Nadine got some lovin' like Cheryl has had the past couple of years. She's extremely talented and just beyond amaazing.

[Twilight]

OMG Just get rid of Sarah or Nicola.

Nadine is goregous.

God why do you care about looks so much.

[Zippy]

The least talented as well which makes a joke of the whole thing really lol.

How is she the least talented? She's the best dancer. She's feisty and opinionated. She has the best personality and has stood out most from the beginning. Because she has heaps of charisma and star quality.

Or are you discounting all these qualities as talents?

This backlash(by some) against Cheryl is just tedious. She has become 10 times more famous than the others for a reason.

[Ross]

Out of them I'd prefer Sarah to leave. Nadine is a very good singer, I don't think she has the personality to do well as a solo artists. In the group she stands out.

[WOMBAI]

Yeah - I like her unique look - model looks - she is also more classy than Cheryl or Sarah!

A very obvious reasons - her looks - and the guys fancy her! Hardly talent!

Thats naive. Theyre all good looking. Ive already mentioned her talents so I wont repeat.

Some people just have something thats not always definable. But it draws people. Cheryl has it.

But if you dont like her you'll never agree so...

['Conor]

cheryl cole should not go back to girls aloud ! honestly it would be like a step down in her career she is and will be so much more succesfull solo !

[Harry!]

Can they just split up for good? By this rate they will end up like the Spice Girls did.

[WOMBAI]

It's called presence - and she definitely doesn't have it - you saying she does just undermines the quality of the word!

[WOMBAI]

I think Cheryl just copied Posh's receipe for success - marry a famous footballer! It seems in our society female pop star + famous footballer = a lora fame and money! As shallow as ******!

[GhettoSuperstar]

Her solo success hasn't derived from marrying Ashley but her stint on the X Factor instead.

It would just be terrible if Girls Aloud split up. I don't know what i'd do...

Noone really cared about her until she joined X Factor and she joined the show as Girls Aloud were starting to flop, perfect timing really!

I think as long as she is there and X Factor is on, Girls Aloud have a future whether Nadine is there or not

[Zippy]

Noone really cared about her until she joined X Factor

Huh? This is a blatant untruth. If you and Wombai dont like her, fine. But thats no reason to be denying the obvious.

She's been the main focus of Girls aloud from the start. She was all over the tabloids before Ashley, before X-factor. Indeed, she got the X-factor gig precisely because she had become a bigger star than the group she was in.

No, I dont expect either of you too agree.

I love Cheryl ... but its mainly males who rated her before. She was a bit of a tabloid star but was no bigger than most other celebs who appear in the papers. She never had her current status (which is seemingly national treasure atm) until she was behind the judges desk.

Well, of course it increased her star status. Its the top show on TV. But she was still a huge star before. And she did have a large female fanclub via Girls aloud.

This is all irrelevant. She was a nobody. Then a star. Then a bigger star. Now an even bigger star!

And the bigger the star you become the more you become a target for haters like Wombai. Who's probably just jealous. :joker:

No they weren't.. :conf: They've never flopped anyway.

She signed up to X-Factor after they sold out a UK arena tour and when they announced they were recording a new album - 'Out Of Control'.

Tut tut Tom! Throwing digs in there!

They were starting to flop. Their last single before Cheryl joined X Factor charted at number 9 and was only the third off their album. Then The Promise predictably went to number 1 but after X Factor 5 they were struggling to get top 10 singles, I think one actually failed to do that (their first ever).

I do like them though, they're my main guilty pleasure :blush2:

Don't be daft! I don't hate her and I have said on many occasions that she is a good looking girl - no denying that - but she can't sing and has no other significant talent. She is a fad - and like all fads - she will be replaced!

Only the third? Not many acts get three singles in the top ten, especially after the album has already been out.

Funnily enough, their singles charted lower since Cheryl appeared on the XF.

She's only been around for 8 years! And her star is forever rising so you're seriously DELUDED if you think she'll disappear anytime soon. Girls aloud will continue for 2 more albums. Her solo career is a worldwide success(hits all over Europe and Top 10 in Australia with 3 words). Then there's her sudden success as a TV personality which I see continuing for years to come.

Yep, get used to her gorgeous face because you'll definitely be seeing her for YEARS to come. No doubt whatsoever.

[ButterflyGirl]

I wasn't even expecting them to get back together really ,isn't Nadine living in LA now ,it would be kind of akward? Not to say i'd like them to make another album or two.

Nadine has a candle shop in LA. :joker:

GA have already signed for 2 more albums at least.

[Z]

Girls Aloud are something of an institution in my eyes; the only example of a successful reality TV act; in that they've had a long career and have branched out into so many different spheres beyond what everyone expected of them. I hope the five of them get back together; but I'd rather they called it a day than go on with less than five members, it just wouldn't be right. I think it's a bit unfair on Kimberley, Sarah and Nicola that (if this is true) it's all going to end because Nadine/Cheryl are in some kind of dick measuring contest.

Nope - someone is being controlled by his hormones - definitely clouding your judgement! :hugesmile:
