Girls Aloud are hot as fuck, Don't like their music though.

And as for knowing their names, personally I don't have any idea who is who, but a lot of my english mates know them all by name too, simply because most of them are so damn hot!

Ok, probably gonna gat a load of shit for this, but......

I dont have a problem with groups like Girls Aloud, Sugarbabes, Take That, Mcfly and the like, they fill a gap in the charts with catchy throw away pop, and i quite like a lot of it. My proper musical taste is guitar based bands like Oasis, Elbow, U2, Feeder and Snow Patrol, who write there own songs that have a bit more meaning, they dont have a huge single release sales record, but album sales are huge. I know a lot of Freddys are fans of heavier stuff like Metalica and so on. There is a prime example of being hugely succesfull without denting the singles chart due to album and tour sales

So back to the cheesy pop, most of the people who buy thier albums probably dont listen to anything but the singles on the CD, thats fine cos they're probably just fillers anyway, but they single sales are huge, basically because they are catchy and appeal to a wider audience

The thing that does bug me is that most of these boy and girl groups have their songs written by the same core group of writers and producers, but it depends on who records them as to how succesful they become

Take a huge song by Kylie like 'cant get you out of my head', it was massive, but give that song to her sister to record and it would have bombed. And it would have been down to the snobbery of the radio stations who playlist it

This is random i know, but a few years ago Bananrama (remember them) released a single as a sort of comeback, and it wasn't all that bad, what you would expect, cheesy throw away pop, but it bombed all the same, cos no one played it. But it was written by the same people who write for Kylie and Brittney. My point is, if that same song had been given to the later artists, it would have been a massive hit, because its Kylie or Brittney, and it would have been played to death

Sorry, i'm on my 3rd JD and coke, so i have gone off on a bit of a tangent

Nadine fom GA is my fav, i love her Irish accent.....Fworr !!!!

Generally I like Girls Aloud etc. - I do get pissed off with music snobs who judge others for their tastes.

However, I actually consider this the worst song they've ever released, I suppose the stoccato chorus is a love/hate thing in terms of catchiness. For me it's hate, but I can see why people like it.

The new GA song's chorus does sound a bit like the Blankety Blank theme tune

At the end of the day, if i like a song, i dont care who its by, music is music at the end of the day regardless who performs it






Unless its by Celine Dion, but that goes without saying.....!!!
