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.
