girls aloud are Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Tweedy, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh. created after an audience vote selected them as the winning girl group in 2002 uk reality TV series, Popstars: The Rivals. The show adopted a new twist on the Popstars theme, picking opposing boy and girl bands to battle it out in the UK charts. Their debut single, "Sound Of The Underground", was released in December 2002 and stayed at No.1 in the UK charts for four weeks beating not only the boys, but also introduced an interesting group that weren't opposed to releasing left of center power pop.4 years later and the girls have exceeded all expectations. collaborating with hot producers xenomania, girls aloud have found a strange mix of rock a billy meets hyper pop meets retro 60's to successfully call their own. add to the fact that these ladies have been repackaged to look like nouveau riche trashy chicks and you've got a group that reminds me of what the bratz dolls would be like if they were slutty and in their 20's.
needless to say, i love them!
