You say THEIR music is catchy but all Girls Aloud do is sing on the record. They don't write the lyrics or compose the tune or sit in a recording studio moving buttons up and down trying to get the sound that they want. They're just money making little puppets so all the record company bosses can go out and buy another Ferrari. Then, when Girls Aloud release a single that doesn't get in the top 10 the record company will dump them and get another load of 18 years old girls in, style them to death so they look like perfect little plastic dolls and the cycle will start all over again.

Yep that's exactly right Nick! People think of them as a band... but nothing could be further from the truth; all they do is karaoke. If they were able to create the same music by themselves then I would be the first to congratulate them, however as it is they do nothing at all to warrant praise. I really wish there was a group about who created their own catchy music from scratch, but there's been nothing of the kind for years... about the closest anyone’s come to it in recent years are the Corrs and the Scissor Sisters but neither has so far got it right, and to be honest I can’t see things changing.

These hollow-eyed, vacant nobodies who don't step out of doors until they've been styled to within an inch of their lives, represent a huge success for the idea of pop-as-committee.

It's difficult to think of the last girlband who wrote their own songs and made their own decisions. At least with Bananarama (a previous holder of the title) you had the sense there were real people behind the dungarees.

I have a nasty feeling that Girls Aloud may just be enlarged Bratz dolls operated via remote control. They're not love machines - they're just machines.


Ohh come on, thats slightly unfair dont you think?
Girls Aloud are a girl group who do wicked music! Their image is all to do with what their record companies want them to look like!
They can actually sing aswell, not like half the bands out there these days, I have seen them live 5 times, they are amazing live!
Their record company will make them look a certain way in order to boost record sales!
I have met Girls Aloud, and personally I think they are really nice girls!
Dont judge people you have never met.
Smile xx

It is really quite unfair on proper bands, I would have liked to be far harsher but I don't want to get banned for using abusive language! Big Grin

Put simply Girls Aloud are rubbish... they couldn't sing properly or play an instrument to save their lives. How do you mean 'dont judge people you have never met' it's not about being nice, it's about music; and theirs is crap.

Ok yes the biggest appeal is that they are all pretty and sexy. But they can all sing and do sing live plus they have very catchy tunes under their belt, even my mum who can't stand pop music thinks they are ok.


I have to say I can't agree with you at all. Every time I've heard them sing live on tv, they sound terrible - weak and out of sync with each other. That is when they do sing live - most of the time they are miming!

Yeah, but are you seeing them live in person or hearing it through a TV screen?? Personally I have to agree with White Rose on this one, they do sound amazing live. Honestly, and im not just saying that because I like them.

You dont need to apologise like, everyone is entitled to their own opinion Smile But I just think you need to see them in person in order to be able to judge properly xx

Don't worry; we can tell they are rubbish easily enough as it is. Can you imagine what a muddle they would be in if they were stuck on a stage without their backing track, and all they had were musical instruments and some microphones? They wouldn't have a clue! Big Grin

That they suck face it they are not a proper band. Led Zepplin were a proper band, Guns n' Roses were a proper band, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are a proper band, the Sex Pistols were a proper band and hey guess what they all had/have members who play instruments.

Now this is what i don't understand. Does the way a band look REALLY boost record sales. I've NEVER bought an album because of the way a band looked. You'd have to be a bloody sad git to buy an album simply for that.

yeah but you will get some dirty men/lads (you all know who you are haha) buying their CDs because of the bonus material such as pictures and things on the CDs, so they may not be buying it to listen to, but rather for the other stuff on the CD...dirtyyyy!! Razz

Even if some do it's not a large enough figure to influence record sales. If someone just wanted pictures wouldn't they go on the internet to find them, instead of paying £3.99 or whatever their CD is selling for these days? Big Grin
