Girls Aloud

[Mr. Mr.]

You mean in the Tangled Up era?
For sure. Their image skyrocketed from girl next door to styled women. I think it was also the era where each individual person in the band felt comfortable in their own appearance and had confidence. They were also at the top of their game off the back of the greatest hits and Something Kinda Oooh.
The Chemistry era was still tongue in cheek, with a bit of edge and the beginning of their maturity as a band. But Tangled Up was definitely the beginning of something massive for them.

Tangled Up was when it all fell into place and the increased budget was very noticeable.

I always wish that there was a second series of Off The Record highlighting the build up and release of the Greatest Hits. The euphoria and probably complete shock from the band, management and label must’ve been incredible. To have captured that on camera would’ve been iconic.

Re. the budget increase, I'll never forget seeing Cheryl wearing a belt I really liked to the X Factor auditions in 2008, tracking it down so I could buy it assuming it was from somewhere affordable for me and my £40 birthday money as so much of their early outfits were, only to find it was by Fendi and cost about £2000. Ahh, memories.

Yep... the success of the Greatest Hits album and Something Kinda Ooooh definitely gave the record company cause to increase the budget for the Tangled Up era. Call The Shots then being massive just solidified their importance to the label going forward.

Loved how they stood up for themselves and decided no more covers after the Greatest Hits album also.

So it really is the end of Girls Aloud huh?

 

[SoldierSpice]

wanted to thank you again for the amazing experience we shared on this last tour and our subsequent pride show .. the memories will stay with me forever. It has been a true highlight in my life. To get to connect with you all again after so long , to be together and share the stage once more with the girls to celebrate Sarah was truly a blessing.

Not sure if some of this sounds quite final or just reflective. Gutted if this Cheryl's tweetlonger

 

[FrogSipTea.Gif]

I don't think it will be. Cheryl seemed to be LIVING for it the most.

 

[LPMA]

'this last tour' literally just means the one that just ended. I think a lot of people would be better off not trying to put stock into every single word like this dd

I’ve been a Girls Aloud new music/true reunion sceptic and to me that read like reflective musings.

 

[Verandi]

Y'all need to stop dissecting every single social media post of these ladies in the hope you'll find indication of a disbandment.

Live shows for them are lucrative. They'll do them every once in a while. Now get out and touch grass!

 

[Mvnl]

I mean, the tour finished. So she could still be reflective about that

The Girls Aloud TikTok posted a Biology performance with the caption ‘we’re gonna cause a controversy’ with a shhh emoji at the end.

Maybe it all just coincidence, but their captions recently are interesting.

Anyway, we’ve got the tour DVD and proposed documentary to look forward to so I’m happy.

 

[Shockbox]

Some of you need to get outside and stop looking at the tiniest details.

Think this is the best recording of the tour I've come across and is holding me over until the TV/DVD release.
