Nicola Roberts?

[Jamie89]

What happened to her? Her solo album was incredible, I know it didn't sell well but it had a lot of acclaim so why hasn't she done anything since? I google searched her and the most recent news about her is that she got a parking ticket. Wtf?! COME BACK NICOLA!

she has the personality of a tin of tuna

Tuna shade?

I haven't seen much of her in interviews tbh but I don't mind if she doesn't have a personality. She's very talented

in what way?

[Marsh.]

Her album sounded like the soundtrack to Pacman.

In a musical way

Her album sounded like the soundtrack to Pacman.

I think the production was intentionally simplistic, which I prefer so much more than overproduced, factory sounding music (like cheryl's for example) and I think it paid off. Maybe not in terms of sales but definitely in terms of showcasing her talent as a writer and the craftsmanship of the songs etc. It was more of a creative work as apposed to something intended just to fit in with the rest of the industry.

[Marsh.]

Hers did sound factory manufactured though.

But it fell off the conveyor belt halfway through. :fan:

[Ashley.]

I feel sorry for her bc she never got a main part in a song until Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me

I disagree that it sounded factory manufactured. I think she created something individual and followed her own prerogative regarding how it sounded instead of sheepishly trying to fit in with what normally clogs up the charts and I respect her for that.

She was definitely overlooked in GA and unfortunately that continued into her solo career. I genuinely think that if Cheryl hadn't become inexplicably successful, then Nicola and Nadine would be huge stars right now.

[Liam-]

The most talented one being slept on because she's a ginger </3

[Jamie89]

This song slays me d6gnk40kicQ

Especially @ 3:08. Genuine shivers :flutter:

[LukeB]

Yo-yo is my favourite song from her :flutter:

[Denver]

I expect to see her in CBB January

[Pete.]

Masterpieces are not rushed

[LukeB]

Masterpieces are not rushed

Adele is an example of this

:clap1:

But still, she needs to get a wriggle on :fist:

[reece(:]

YoYo, Lucky Day, Beat Of My Drum, Disco, Blisters & a Comedown <3333

[EspeonBB]

She's too ahead of her time. People don't get her art :bored:

[Kate!]

She's talented but I don't like her solo stuff personally

[Ross.]

Our Nicola is so underrated </3

[Shaun]

Lucky Day was one of the best pop songs of 2011, should've performed better.

I know she was supposedly in the studio some time earlier this year so I'd imagine new stuff will surface within 6 months?

I really think Girls Aloud fans overestimate her writing abilities and her credibility as an artist - yes, when you look at the self written, recorded and produced dirge that Nadine and Sarah wheeled out for their own releases, Nicola looks like a certified genius, but she's really average and her songs are about as complex as an egg mayonnaise sandwich because that's about as complicated as her mind is.
