Nicola and Cheryl :love:

[Me. I Am Salman]

No Good Advice is their best song hands down
Also Biology and The Show are trash

[Me. I Am Salman]

Oh and Sexy! No No No is only good for like a minute and I'll Stand by you is TERRIBLE. I don't really like them much tbh.. No Good Advice, Sound of the Underground, Jump, Love Machine, Call the Shots and The Loving kind are the only songs I like by them :laugh:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Biology, Something Kinda Ooh, The Promise & Sound of the Underground >

Ugh it would have been brilliant - there's something cool about their first single being Sound of the Underground and their last song being On The Metro, but instead they released that drivel that absolutely nobody could relate to except for Nicola Roberts maybe. I can just picture a music video for On The Metro with lots of neon in it, not too dissimilar from the PCD video for Wait A Minute. Total cop out :(

Life Got Cold needs appreciation <3

Yes! It's different to a lot of the stuff out their and that's what GA were known for, SOTU was revolutionary and Xenomanias production on all of Tangled Up was genius. Not to mention sticking 3 seperate songs together to make Biology! On The Metro would have been a perfect end. BCYLM was drivel and was all for/about Nicola.

And yes! I pictured a video so similar to that! I did the same for Girl Overboard which should have been released as well! :idc:

They can and did all sing! :worship:










When I say 'all', I mean 'Nadine'.

Nadine :love:

I appreciate your Nadine love but when it comes to your song choices... :nono:

You think S?NNN! is only good for a minute and like Walk This way.

I do like Kimberley's 'dark' voice, but it is pretty damn poor.

Kimberley's cover album

http://i.minus.com/icF8Ixqz8Uysm.gif

[Z]

Kimberley's gone down in my estimations since she passively aggressively blamed Nadine for Girls Aloud splitting up and brought up Sarah's addiction problems in her autobiography. No, I'm sure Cheryl Cole duetting with will.i.am and accepting a job on the nation's biggest entertainment show had nothing to do with Girls Aloud splitting up, Kimberley, it was absolutely Nadine's fault for living in the USA. Arse licker :idc:

Didn't even know all this. :shocked:

...and I though she was the sweet and innocent one. :suspect:

[Me. I Am Salman]

No! That was trash. :idc:

Excuse me no it was better than the original

[james130]

Excuse me no it was better than the original

It's still one of GA's worst songs though. :idc:

Also; honestly, what are peoples opinions of these because she gets dragged but I thought they were fire...

...and I though she was the sweet and innocent one. :suspect:

She's smart and I think she's a nice person but she can't see the wood for the trees regarding her own career.

[james130]

She's smart and I think she's a nice person but she can't see the wood for the trees regarding her own career.

Hmm, Shrek The Musical and Centre Stage have done wonders for her career...
I think she just lives out of Cheryl's (awfully tattoed) butt.

[Z]

Give it a couple of years and Kimberley and Nicola will be wishing they hadn't thrown in the towel. Nadine didn't want it to end, she learned her lesson from her failed solo career that she wasn't going to have success without Girls Aloud. Kimberley was busy when they were doing their Greatest Hits tour so she clearly thought she was going to be fine on her own. I'm sure she'll aim to become a television personality when she realises she's useless without the group. Nicola had a "critically acclaimed album"... only because there were no expectations for it! It's not like the album was a modern masterpiece, it was just good because people associated her with written-for-the-act-by-other-people pop music. Sarah's got so many problems that I don't think a hurried reunion did her any favours but I think she'll miss it eventually too; but of course it won't ever happen until HRH People's Princess Cheryl takes pity on the rest of them.

[james130]

I do kinda hope that after Nadine's had her baby we get a final attempt at a solo career though.
If she had the backing that Cheryl has and her own 'Will.I.Am', she could be so successful. :idc:

[Z]

If there was any justice, she would, but I don't see it happening for her.

It's really rare for girl groups to spawn solo artists with any degree of success. The Spice Girls are an anomaly. Beyonce & Nicole Scherzinger's groups were built around them; Mutya Buena had two successful singles and one album; Cheryl's success came from The X Factor and that's more or less it...

Hmm, it's such a shame 'cause her voice is Girls Aloud. If Nadine worked with Xenomania on an album, it would pretty much be GA and I know i'd love it. :bawling:

Like her voice in this... :worship:

I went to see GA's last tour date in Liverpool at the Echo and that's the first time I had seen any of them live and honestly Cheryl and Nadine were the best vocalists, I don't even like Cheryl but she was much better than people had warned me about.

Kimberly was horrific, she screeched and sounded really bad compared to Nadine and Cheryl. Then I saw her attempt to sing Defying Gravity on telly and she really is nothing special as a vocalist, she was lucky to have got this far and THEN I read her biography and wow, she's just not that nice of a person it seems.

Long Hot Summer is one of their most forgettable songs yet is still quite good

Long Hot Summer is one of their most forgettable songs yet is still quite good

Yeah, a lot of people forget it.
I just remember hearing the instrumental a lot on TV at the time of it's release.
I never used to like it, but now realise it is supreme.

Nadine Coyle has given birth to a baby girl.

The former Girls Aloud singer and her fiance Jason Bell announced their happy news via Twitter, with Nadine telling her followers that she already loves 'being a mammy' to the couple's daughter.

She wrote on Monday night: 'I am overjoyed to let you know our little girl is here. She is amazing! I love being a mammy & will fill you all in soon. Love Nadine Xx.'

The star's former Girls Aloud bandmate, Cheryl Cole, was one of the first well-wishers in the wake of the happy news.
Writing on her Twitter page just minutes after Nadine's announcement, Cheryl said: 'It is OFFICIAL!! There is a baby Aloud!!!!!! Congratulations @nadinecoylenow & Jason so amazing!!!'

Nicola Roberts added shortly after: 'There is a little baby Aloud! Congratulations @NadineCoyleNow & Jason on your little baby Girl. I'm so happy she's here and healthy <3 xo.'

Kimberley Walsh added: '@NadineCoyleNow Congratulations to you both!! So happy she is here safe and sound. Can't believe you're a mummy.'

Sarah Harding tweeted: 'And on a happier note, I can now officially say "congratulations" to
@NadineCoyleNow on the arrival of her gorgeous little baby Girl Aloud.'

Nadine announced the couple were expecting a baby girl together on New Year's Day.


Oh and Sarah said something about swearing on her solo album. :idc:
See reece's thread....

[Z]

What's everyone's favourite cover song that Girls Aloud released?

Jump
I'll Stand By You
See The Day
I Think We're Alone Now
Walk This Way

[Me. I Am Salman]

Jump & Walk this way
their cover of I'll Stand By You is one of the worst songs ever recorded

[james130]

On the whole, I think their covers are their weakest singles.
Always hated I'll Stand By You. Don't know why it performed so well when Whole Lotta History is far better.
Id say Jump is my favourite.
I quite liked I Think We're Alone Now at the time, but when I listen now I cringe.

[james130]

PS. Kimberley is pregnant.

And Cheryl's probably at home crying.
She's always made it clear how much she wanted kids. :idc:
