So... Anyone here knows who they are? Well, Girls Aloud is one of my favourite girlbands (just as many korean girlbands.. I just love girl groups hehe) and they're set to release their fifth album "Out of control" on 3 november. The first single from this album is called "The promise" and even though I didn't like it at first, I'm addicted to it now.

From left to right: Nadine, Nicola, Sarah, Kimberley and Cheryl.

They came from a TV reality show called Popstars the rivals (2002) and since then they're very popular in the UK. Now, the girls have plans to start promotions in the US. They are also a bit known in the rest of Europe, but not too much.

You can find more information about them at the Wikipedia (just type Girls Aloud.)

To invite you to hear their music, I'm posting these links to The Promise on youtube and also some links of past singles.

I LOVE Girls Aloud!!!! I have all their albums and it's fantastic! I'm so excited to receive Out Of Control, I'm resisting the urge to download the leak =O (I listened to The Loving Kind already though ) Glad to see someone else who likes them =) Cheryl and Nadine are my favourite!!

[oxide]

I have preordened Out of control too! I just realize that the album was leaked a little after posting here about them. I only listened to The loving Kind and Untouchable though, and both are great! I'm sure The loving kind will be single.

My favourite member is Cheryl too, love her voice and looks, but Nadine have the best vocal of the group. She's awesome. And well, I also love the sweet voice of Nicola, the kindness of Kimba and Sarah's crazyness.

Thanks for replying. I thought this topic will be deserted

Edit: New performance @ T4!! They are wearing the same outfits of the single's cover!



Also, they cut a part of the song

I love Girls Aloud! I would say Wonder Girls are somewhat like them.

I love The Promise, it's their first proper #1! (the other 3 #1s they have are due to PSTR, charity singles etc.)

Oh and OOC looks like it's heading to #1 as well! =) I haven't got my copy though, I'm waiting for the box set in December. Can't wait!

[Liesje]

I love Girls Aloud too!!

I love all of the songs from Tangled Up, but my favorites are Fling, Sexy! no no no & Girl Overboard

They did that show 'Poptars the Rivals' right? ... we had that show here too but the groups only lasted a few months or so..how long are they in the music industry now? either way it's pretty good considering most people always have something against groups or singers who participated a show like that and they say that they are 'made'

I must say their music has grown alot, i like it more now then what they had in the beginning

Also i love their version of Teenage Dirtbag!
I only have the live version but i know there is also a real version...do you maybe have that one?
b'cause i can't find it anywhere

yeahh (:
5 boys n 5 girls were picked to form a group, but only girls aloud survived - i dont know what happened to the guys .
they've been around since 2002 now i guess from the first post. wow i was like 7 then listening to sound of the undergroud

i like the promise (: first heard it on x factor LOL.

[mintcracker]

I really like their 'jump' song lol

yah it's so old <3

[oxide]

Ohh, I'm so glad to see there are more GA fans over there. I'ts great

I have the studio version of that song, but I can't post a link to the mp3 in soompi, right? Well, I can send it to you by email if you want.

My copy of Out of control arrived a few days ago. I find it a good album, but I think Tangled Up is better, even though OOC is now growing on me. Despite this, my favourite songs are The promise, The Loving Kind, Turn to Stone, Untouchable and Revolution in the Head. Which ones are yours?

Aside from the songs you've listed, Miss You Bow Wow is also a fantastic song in my opinion. It's quirky, addictive, and fun. I'm so sad there's going to be a special edition of the album released in December though and I don't have any money

[Kennedy]

These girls are awesome, although I only have like... five songs from them. XD

I love their cover of "Jump! (For My Love)."

//edit

Just saw their video. What is everybody and the 50s or 60s?

[trophy_wife]

Liesje, sorry I don't have a mp3 for that

I love Miss You Bow Wow so much, it's so fun and romantic at the same time!

[brian032]

I really don't know about them but I do know Cheryl Tweedy. And I have to say that I definitely like what I see.

[spirit uhwey]

Somehow they remind me of the saturdays

[planetarium15]

Somehow they remind me of the saturdays

Lol it's The Saturdays who reminds me of Girls Aloud Both groups are great though

[oxide]

Somehow they remind me of the saturdays

Actually, The Saturdays were on the Tangled Up tour of Girls Aloud as support band. They both are in the same company, Polydor.

Guys, listen to this remixed version of Love Is Pain. This song is growing on me hehe.

[bystander]

I think they're hot. (especially the brunette one, Cheryl is it?)
I liked watching their "I Don't Speak French" music vid.
That's all I've heard/seen, thanks to youtube.

Yeah, I've always thought like
SunYe = Nadine
Main Vocalist and have a lovely powerful voice
YeEun = Nicola/Sarah
Underrated, able to belt out some amazing stuff
YooBin = Cheryl
"Rapper", the sexy one and with the most sex appeal. A lovely voice but not the strongest.
SunMi = Sarah/Nicola
More underrated than YeEun but really able to belt out high notes too
SoHee = Kimba
Well...The cute one but not the best vocalist.

And when I watch the Saturdays, well, it's like watching Girls Aloud
It's like Xenomania is trying to create GA bis, with better vocalists. Still love GA the best.

[trophy_wife]

^^

Not a fan of The Saturdays, their songs are not as catchy as GA's.

Oh the video for The Loving Kind will premiere next Wednesday, I can't wait! =)

[oxide]

The girls filmed a television advertisement for the Itv special "The Girls Aloud Party." They're looking gorgeus!! and Kimba's so funny.

Check it out!

Itv1 on 13th december. They will sing The promise, The Loving Kind, and their old hit songs. Some screencaps from the commercial:





Pics source: The sun.

I'm expecting the video for The Loving Kind. (L)

[starlight24]

Oooooooh I love Girls Aloud!! I'm not usually into pop, but I think that they are fabulous.

Nadine is probably my favorite aloud. She's so beautiful and her voice is amazing!

I loooove their new album! My favorite is still 'Chemistry' but it's good nonetheless! As an American, this is like my definition of Europop. My favorite songs from the new album are definitely 'The Loving Kind', 'Love is Pain', and of course 'Untouchable' <3

I think Untouchable is in my top 5 of GA songs. It's so beautiful and they all sound so great on it. xD

I hear that the video of 'The Loving Kind' will premiere sometime next week! I can't wait!
