I dont think they would have made it past the auditions/judges houses to be honest.

Which is why I laugh everytime cheryl criticises girlbands who are better than the one she was in. Which doesnt take much.

The only strong singer in girls aloud was nadine. She carried them.

Girls Aloud were just lucky. very lucky. They got through their first album and first few singles just by being Girls Aloud and the show that they came from. They didn't really gel as a group until 18 months in and thats when they started releasing more catchy pop. I don't think it was until Biology (one of the best pop songs ever and ironically the song they did on Davina's chat show (i retain pointless information) ) that they left like a genuine group

I do like them though, they're the ultimate guilty pleasure
