Wait sorry - I literally had no idea there was an entirely different lineup of Nicole and 4 randos!? I’ve just seen the Dancing On Ice clip! How has this passed me by? Who are the other girls? Where are they now? Was there any official photos of that lineup? How did they announce it!? A reverse Keisha Buchanan experience !!!
It was after all the originals bar Nicole left in 2010 and Robin threw in four random girls to perform some corporate gigs before starting auditions after Nicole later left too. Names were Kherrington Payne, Vanessa Curry, James Lee Ruiz, and Rino Nakasone-Razalan. Ruiz was a contestant for Girlicious and Rino was a Harajuku Girl.

But it's their best song?“When I Grow Up” is lowercase cute and undeniably pops off, but I felt mortally letdown following the juggernaut life-affirming bops that were “Don’t Cha”, “Buttons”, and “Beep”.
The lack of love for When I Grow Up is like a stab to the heart. Is this the twilight zone? The song is a 10/10! I remember seeing the dance break in the music video for the first time after Nicole's middle 8 giving me goose bumps. A legendary moment for 12 year old me that laminated my stan card.
Speaking of which, it is oddly similar to Janet's LUV.I love how When I Grow Up, Telephone and Feedback are all basically the same session.
Had a moment to Elevator today. Trashy late 00s R&B-pop is what dreams are made of.

Maybe a tad dramatic. To have the arena two thirds sold already when tickets have only been on sale a matter of days, I'd consider that a success.They were blocked off when I was searching for my tickets but that must’ve been a temporary thing then so my bad.
The upper tiers in Manchester and Newcastle are the only two now that have lots available.
The rest of the tour so far has sold really well so that’s awesome!
Where are all the Geordies at because the Newcastle date is the only one, out of all of them, that is slightly tragic. Nearly a third of the arena is unsold!!
PCD reposted Megan Thee Stallion dancing to them on their story. I need them to collab!
