The Official Girls Aloud Thread
 

OH MY GOD THEY'RE LITTLE GODDESSES EACH ONE OF THEM.

Any fans around here? They are the winners of 'Popstars: The Rivals' in the UK. Despite being from a reality show, they became such a phenomenon. And continued success too, who would have thought about it? Their fresh and witty pop have found it's way into the hearts of European audiences, especially the Irish and the British.

Of course it's thanks to their AMAZING FRIGGIN AMAZING songs. They're able to pull of ballads and uptempo dance tracks so well. None of their tracks sound bad to me. They beat the Spice Girls for "most consecutive Top 10 singles" in the UK. Their latest single "Something Kinda Ooooh" hit #5 in the UK and it's terribly catchy.

I'm obsessed with their music. Last.fm shows that they are #3 in my overall artist charts, but I've only been listening to them for the past few days and they aren't even on the weekly charts yet. 200 listens, what the hell?

They're all very beautiful I can stare at them for days. Pity I don't know who's really who. Chemistry is not their latest album, but both of the covers are so beautiful.

Chemistry

Any idea who is that in the lower middle? :luv2 I think she's just absolutely beautiful. The one beside Cheryl Tweedy or Cole.

Chemistry (Christmas Edition)

This cover is also very beautiful. The colours makes me so happy.

I love sound of the underground.

Spice girls still have the most consecutive no.1's

Something Kinda Ooooh has actually #3 in the UK.

All songs on Chemistry, The Sound of Girls Aloud, What Will The Neighbours Say? , and most on Sound of the Underground are written and produced by Brian Higgins and his production company, Xenomania.

Which I'm sure will never be surpassed forever. :( Damn them.

Yep, sorry. :yes Yeah, I know it's Xenomania's efforts mostly, but they still sang the songs and chose them. So they're smart. And pretty. :luv2

I found out it was Nadine a few hours ago, she's so beautiful on that cover.

Did'nt Nadine dump Jesse Metcalffe. (dunno how to spell his last name)

Yep Nadine dumped that smouldering hot dude although I dunno why, that's what I read.

I am a Girls Aloud fan and wish to God they would come to the US. I bet "Somethin Kinda ooooh" would make it in the US, it has that good, edgy fun sound, if they promoted it well.

I love Girls Aloud! My boyfriend got me into them haha... I love "Whole Lotta History", it's such a good song :)

Actually I should credit you Cory. I saw one of your posts about Girls Aloud somewhere on the forum and that also sparked my interest.

I love Whole Lotta History, Life Got Cold and See The Day the most. They're so good at winter ballads.

It's awesome your boyfriend loves them. :thumbsup It shows that not everyone who listens to Girls Aloud are gay which a lot of people seem to think locally.

They're surprisingly good. Is Something Kinda Ooooh for a "best of" or a new album?

It's for their Greatest Hits album which was released last month. The lyircs are really quite daft but it's excellent, IMO. :D

Something kinda Ooooh is there best song in my opinion. I love everything about it. But i'm wishing they would fire they make up artist as of late.

Wow, really? Hehe nice, I'm glad I sparked your interest! Yeah it's funny my boyfriend likes them cause it's not his usual music style. When we were in the UK all he wanted to do was find Girls Aloud CDs!

I got their greatest hits which is great. Unfortunately I've never found their albums that great. The singles always seem stronger than the album tracks. I've only heard Sound of the Underground and Chemistry (which I flicked my way through)

I have decided which my fave song of their is - No Good Advice. Gotta love that guitar riff.

I always feel sorry for Nicola - she always seems to get a rough time in the press for being...ginger (I'm ginger!) And recently they always seem to focus more on the other girls and just cover her up (like in the Something Kinda Ooooh vid) which is stupid because I thought she looked fantastic in the No Good Advice video!

Glad to see you're liking them MC_T!!

I think everyone likes them. I had the CD playing in my car and my stepdad turned up Love Machine lol and my parents kept saying how good they thought Biology was.

mi|kshake~

the only song i know is Somthing Kinda Oooh, whch is catchy and party friendly! i am playing the song a lot recently on my ipod.

^ "Somthing Kinda Oooh" is my fav Girls Aloud song... if you like that then I suggest you also try "The Show" which is my second fav of there's, it's party friendly too. The opening to "The Show" is just electronic perfection.

mi|kshake, I love your UK pop taste. :heart As long as they don't block Nadine or lower her airtime, I have no problems. :D Nadine is so beautiful! Cheryl too ocassionally. When photographed with the other WAGs, she looks dumpy though.

The Show really is awesome, I love the chorus. It's the only proper Girls Aloud song that got played on TV here (other than I'll Stand By You but that's a cover).

I strongly recommend See The Day, Life Got Cold, and Whole Lotta History. These are my top 3 Girls Aloud songs, they're just so frickin awesome. I just found out See The Day was a cover. The music is so dramatic and wintery.

Finally put a $10 down payment on a GA CD I saw! It was Sound Of The Underground, I never knew there was a copy of their CD in my local music store. :luv2 It has Life Got Cold!!!!

Thanks! Rachel Stevens & Girls Aloud are the only UK pop albums I own though lol. (Am thinking of buying the Sugababe's In The Middle mp3 though - have now decided it's a great song!)

See The Day & Life Got Cold are my favourite ballads of theirs. If only See The Day was a bit longer - I'd like to see the instrumental bit in the middle exteneded and an extra chorus & verse added on. Then it could rival some jpop songs as my favourite ballad! Whole Lotta History didn't do much for me though. Think my least favourite song is Money which is on the greatest hits.

Hopefully the video for I Think We're Alone Now will be out soon. I think people on the 3 phone network get to vote for the ending for it.

It's a bit cliche, but Love Machine is a total party song!

mi|kshake~

I just don't like I Think We're Alone Now from that CD. Well, not dislike, but love the least, I still love it. Love Money. :laugh The crazy horns and various jazz instruments crammed up with crazy beats and loud music sounds so frenetic and fun!

I'm downloading the video for ITWAN from torrents currently. Not much seeds though. I read that the winning ending was the one where a girl flashed her boobs at the guard or something.

On another note, I also love Sugababes. :yes Amelle is the bestest thing that happened to the group since Heidi. However, Easy was kind of a dissapointment with the ultra-weak chorus. Amelle is so beautiful. :luv2 Especially in the Easy video which I regard as the best Sugababes video ever. It's like Red Dress in black(Black Dress?).

Amen, exactly my thoughts.

As for GA, they're singles have always been a pleasure to hear, but it was when I obtained "Chemistry" that I found out how good of a music group they really are. I seriously regard that as one of the best pop albums ever. Any "Swinging London Town" fans around? :lech

I love the second Chemistry cover!

mi|kshake~

I love it too, the colours are so pretty. But Nadine and Cheryl looks a little less pretty in it.

Now I understand what the fuss about Biology was. It's just brilliant. :luv2 I'm downloading Chemistry currently.

Ain't it though? Biology really grows on you. But"Somethin kinda ooooh" is def their best song. too bad the video sucks.

Uploaded "No Good Advice" (#2 UK) for those who might be interested. It's very catchy.

http://download.yousendit.com/012F0C2B7D2558F6
Uploaded "Money", album track.

No Good Advice is one of my favourites. Thanks for the Money file!

Would you happen to have a good quality mp3 of Something Kinda Oooh? Mine is pretty bad (the song is still awesome, though).

This copy is an MP3 file with a 216 kbps average bitrate, although you might have to add another "o" to the tags, I'm not quite sure how many there are supposed to be.

I love them. I can't believe their releasing 'I Think Were Alone Now' though. Their worst cover.
I actually think Singapore should have made it onto the main CD instead of the bonus one. Money and Singapore would both be better singles than 'I Think Were Alone Now'.

Something Kinda Ooh was amazing. It was like 'The Show' and 'Wake Me Up' got together, had a baby and released it.

There's four O's in the title.

Something Kinda Ooooh

Thanks criminal for uploading it, I was absent yesterday. :yes

Weslicious, I thought it was bad initially, but the PV version really grew on me. I suppose that's the single version available only on the single. I love the video too, it's amusing and sexayyy.

I just realised that the video version of ITWAN was different - sounds more Girls Aloud-y!

mi|kshake~

Girls Aloud loves me. :luv2 Last week, "Something Kinda Ooooh" was playing in a store I visited while I was having a miserable time working.

Today, Biology played on TV (like, WTF?!) when I was working too!

^ bet you were happy.

Girls Aloud and the Sugababes team up

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Girls Aloud and the Sugababes are teaming up to record a song for next year's Comic Relief.

The eight-piece group are currently in the studio recording the unknown track to be released as the appeal's official tune.

A source revealed: "Its amazing getting these two bands to record together, they will be the ultimate girl group. It is going to be hot."

The girls, part of two of the most successful pop bands in the UK, are halfway through recording the vocals - rumoured to a cover of a well-known hip hop classic - with a video to follow.

Meanwhile Sarah Harding has compared herself to Amy Winehouse.

The Girls Aloud singer has a reputation for heavy drinking and wild partying but says she doesn't want to go into rehab.

Sarah, 25, said: "I haven't got an alcohol problem, so I don't need to go to the Priory - just yet!

"If my management said I had to go to rehab I would probably do what Amy Winehouse did - go down to see what it's all about and then say, 'No!'

"I haven't got an issue. If I was an alcoholic I'd be wanting a drink in the morning, wouldn't I? And I'm drinking mineral water today!"

O. M. G. :eek That's like Ayumi and Mika collaborating. *dies*

I wager it might be the BEST SONG EVER.

Elsewhere, Beyonce and Shakira are teaming up for "Beautiful Liar", due for release with the reissue of B'Day.

I was expecting big things from this team up but I don't like the song. The MV is slightly better imo.

Girls Aloud Vs Sugababes - Walk this way

Once again, kingofpop brings something amazing.

THANK YOU

I've listened to a bunch of stuff by Girls Aloud...I just can't seem to get into them. :(

^Me as well. I can definitely see why they've received all the critical accolades and commercial success, but for some reason they just aren't working for me. I can't really put my finger on it though, I'll have to listen to more of their music.

I know it's for Comic Relief and that, but that's the song they're covering? The 2 biggest girl bands in the UK get together and this is what we get? As Scott Mills said "When you hear this song, remember it is for charity and people are dying".

Glad to see the stylists have actually make Nicola look good for once - loving the hair!

mi|kshake~

It sounds dreadful =/

:laugh

The song and video is so lazy. I wouldn't mind if they hadn't ripped off the original video but my god. No thought whatsoever put into it.

Ouch.

It's great to see them all together, but the song isn't as instantly awesome as I expected a Girls Aloud-Sugababes collaboration to be.

^Yeah they should give it another shot, with a new song this time. Or they could mix two of their songs together.

mi|kshake~

teh Walk This Way song sounds so offkey at first but listen to it a few times, it grows. I adore it nwo and im a huge sugababes/girls aloud fan. the video was cute, not great, but cute.

Girls Aloud are planning to cover Spice Girls hits when they go on tour. It would be interesting if they later included those covers as B-sides on singles.

OMG lol! Wonder how they'll sound?

mi|kshake~

I covered Spice Girls' hits last night at karaoke ^^

That would actually be kind of cool... oh the days of the spice girls :)

Hey if Girls Aloud were Spice Girls, what 'spice' would each of them be??

Girls Aloud have great songs, but I still have difficulty keeping track of who's who. It was easy to see which Spice was Sporty or Baby because they really emphasised their different personalities in videos/photos, but the current girl bands have a more generic "cool" look.

Isn't Nicola the redhead? She could be Ginger.

NEW SINGLE!

http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/5...o2tracksk7.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/3...ynononony9.jpg
CD1 and CD2

Sexy! No No No... is released September 3.
If you liked Chemistry, you'll love this.

The video is amazing as well. PVC + needles + fake eyelashes + huge flowing dresses = :luv2
It's really like Christina's Fighter, but that's because it's the same director. :P
YouTube!

PS. Sorry if anyone is offended that I bumped this, but at least it's better than a new topic, eh?

Sexy! No no no, is my favourite song of the moment :D

It's really close to being mine as well. :P
I hope this single sells at least the same amount that Something Kinda Ooooh sold, it's really good.

Another good Girls Aloud song! The video is stylish.

I love this song :D

And lol @ Tripping Cheryl, Thanks for the vid Austin :D

Sexy is a very funky single and so is the vid! i love the eyelashes

I don't think you can upload it because GA is on US iTunes now, or at least they were when I last checked.

omg, hahaha, poor cheryl!!

gotta love these girls...
i'm REALLY looking forward to their next album.

Cool, the new vid is out! Look forward to seeing it, but I'm gonna wait till I see it on TV (least there'll be a reason to watch the music channels!)

mi|kshake~

Is there a release date for the new album yet?

"According to play.com, Girls Aloud's fourth studio album is to be released on November 19."

Good news! This winter/spring a lot of my favourites should be releasing new albums.

There was another rumour in the paper today saying that they're going to split (at the end of the year, I think). The Sun was saying that Simon Cowell & Louis Walsh have put together some of the girls from the X Factor auditions to take over from GA when they split.

mi|kshake~

But Louis Walsh was on Radio 1 yesterday saying how he loved Girls Aloud :shakehead

Well, yeah, aren't there like, 4 rumors every year about them breaking up?

^^^

Something Kinda Oooh (Somebody will no doubt point out I've missed/added some O's :laugh)
Life Got Cold
Wake Me Up
Singapore
The Show
Graffiti My Soul
No Good Advice
Biology
Whole Lotta History

Yes, it's the first single from their as of now, untitled, 5th studio album.
Um, I recommend you the whole Chemistry album (without the UK bonus tracks) with it being a really smart concept album and all. Then again, you could always try to obtain their greatest hits album, The Sound of Girls Aloud.
But if you REALLY just want a couple of songs, try out uptempos like Sound of the Underground, Biology (might be startling at first, it's like 3 different songs), Models and Something Kinda Ooooh and if you're in the mood for something slower, go for Life Got Cold or See The Day.

Missed one. :P

I alway's Doooo :P

What the hell are the Sexy! No No No lyrics. Seriously, vocoder Cheryl = 'Boy did you ever think that loving would be nothing more than bleeping me hard'. That can't be right though ... they play it on the radio

I hear "walking me home"... o_o;
This site kind of confirms that.

LOL, now you say it I can hear that. My mp3 must be baaad quality and I had that line in my head when I hear it on the radio.

My version of the lyrics is better though :laugh

My top 5 GA songs would be:

No Good Advice
Something Kinda Ooooh
Sound of the Underground
The Show
Wake Me Up

You should definately check out the greatest hits album!

mi|kshake~

girls aloud is the perfect music for gays

:dead2

I originally had heard of the band's name through various places on the internet, but had no idea who they were since I'm from the US. Well, after hearing Sexy! No No No... about two weeks ago, I did some research and downloaded their greatest hits. Now I feel like a rabid fan. I just bought Sound of the Underground and What Will The Neighbours Say? through Amazon.com and should be expecting those in the mail soon. I can't wait! I'm glad to have discovered them, and I'm slightly surprised I hadn't sooner. I guess they've kind of inspired me to delve into more British pop, since it's all so good.

My favorite songs are No Good Advice, Wake Me Up, Biology, Something Kinda Ooooh, and Sound of the Underground. Oh, and of course Sexy! No No No.... Nadine's my favorite member as well. Her accent is just adorable! Irish accents are just far too cute.

^See you've been getting into Rachel Stevens too! So Good <3333

mi|kshake~

I been a fan since WWTNS, and I can say that Biology, Sexy! No No No, Something Kinda Ooooh!, See The Day, and Wake Me Up are my favs. I'm also a fan of No Good Advice and Love Machine.

They really are Something Kinda Wicked aren't they? My favs have to be Nicola and Sarah, hehe always the underdogs with me.

I most certainly have been. She was always my favorite S Club member (and I liked them since S Club 7 in Miami), so when I found out she went solo, I had to check it out. I just ordered Funky Dory and Come and Get Me through Amazon.com as well. I'm so excited. I have all these great Brit Pop CDs arriving in the mail this next week or so :D

You have good taste. Our favorites are so similar. I'm not a huge fan of their ballads though. I think Life Got Cold is my favorite out of them, but even that I can't say I adore. I like them doing what they do best, strong up-tempo tracks.

I like all the members personally, but it's sad how Sarah and Nicola both rarely get any lies in songs. I was on a fansite recently that showed how many lines each member had in each of the singles, and those two and Kimberley were so far behind Nadine and Cheryl that I was almost in shock. Not like it isn't noticeable though.

What ever came of that?

I didn't expect her solo albums to be good but they ended up having surprisingly awesome songs, especially Come and Get Me.

With an actual Spice Girls reunion happening, I think that even if Girls Aloud planned covers at one point there's now less point in releasing them.

somethin kinda ooooh, love/hate, sexy! nonono, girls allowed, whole lotta history, the show, no good advice, graffiti my soul, singapore, all i need(all i don't), some kinda miracle, biology...
jieha! girls aloud rock ;P

Orly? Why thank you!


(Go raibh maith agat! :D)

Argh, this thread made me addicted to those girls.

The title for the new album has been confirmed on the Girls' official website: Tangled Up. Not super original, but I'm not displeased with it either. I just hope there's a cool cover art, like the Christmas Limited Edition of Chemistry :D

The new song, Call the Shots, is just too awesome. Now I can't wait for the album!

^ Exactly...

I hate all the indie **** that's so big in the UK right now, thankfully i've still got Girls Aloud.

Wow wow wow! Indie music is awesome!
I love the Girl's new song though

They've got the cover art up on hmv.co.uk. Haven't heard they new song yet.

mi|kshake~

I'm loving Call the Shots. It isn't my favorite Girls Aloud song, but I really do like it. Something about the voices and the whole instrumental is just awesome. I'm sure the video will make me like the song even more, as I saw posts on the GA forum I'm a member of and they look stunning. They're wearing purple dresses on a beach in Malibu at night, with white tents and lit torches. I'm sure it will be fantastic.

The small version of the cover on HMV looks simple but good.

Confirmed tracks:

* Sexy! No No No...
* Call the Shots
* Blackjack
* Fling
* I Can't Speak French
* Close to Love
* Girl Overboard

I wonder what I Can't Speak French will be like. Playful, flirty song?

Hahaha, "I Can't Speak French" is such a cool title. It'd be nice if they put some french words in the lyrics.

Thanks for the news Cyria.

the cover on hmv is not real, guys. is just some random photoshoot they did recently.
