Cheryl was way more charismatic and famous than Nadine before XF. Indeed, its why she got the XF gig in the first place.

She would have had solo success anyways. Not as much maybe without XF but certainly more than Nadine is having.

Nadine couldnt get a decent record deal so had to take what she could. Indeed, I think she's actually released it through her own record company. I could be corrected on the exact details coz I can't be arsed to check.
