Nadine Coyle on Girls Aloud "They plotted behind my back"

I am glad she has spoken out I think Kimberley and Cheryl in particular are two seriously devious people. I hope Nadine gets a memoirs deal next and tells us what "really happened" behind the scenes.

She has said what has happened though, the 4 of them wanted to end and she didn't.
It's not uncommon if someone is against a majority of people they will simply not accept that that's the plan and block it out, which is what Nadine has done. She said she assumed they were back, so was walking about oblivious to the end of it. So the other girls probably found her attitude hard to deal with, as it wasn't a bad attitude just the opposite of theirs.
And even if they all managed to talk it through it is still a difficult situation given there's 5 of them, the result would still have been the same, if the majority of girls didn't want to carry on = group over.
Sadly, that's what happens when there's a lot of other people involved. I don't think it makes the other 4 bad people, I was at the tour and they all gave it their all in their performances, they did their jobs which is what that tour was about.
I can't speak for them but I always assumed they didn't tell anyone they were splitting up because they didn't want to market it as a final tour but a celebration of 10 years & didn't want it to be a sad occasion for fans. That worked for me as I enjoyed it without feeling it was the last time ever.
Did they really though? or was it Cheryl who did and her two minions just agreed with her as they tend to do with everything she says or does. Sarah probably was too out of it to know what was going on.
All this was probably down to a lack of communication.
I think all the girls are as ruthless as eachother. Nadine is a girl who lied about her age in order to get into one of these manufactured bands and held onto that lie to the bitter end until she was asked to leave. Now that's ruthless.
Not so much ruthless as just a sixteen year old girls desperation to be a singer.
I do like Nadine but she obliviously has something coming out soon if she is bringing this all up again
Probably bringing it up because she was asked in an interview about it. I doubt she just called up The Mirror and dropped a few quotes. Considering none of the other girls seem willing to talk about it, they are going to ask Nadine
I also thought Nadine's solo album was so unfairly savaged by critics and music buyers. Was it great? No. Was it revolutionary? No. As a pop album though it's not bad and the snobbery Nadine got for selling it through Tesco was unreal and ridiculous. I think it's a real shame the album flopped and we probably won't get another because in my opinion Nadine's by far the best singer in the group along with Nicola.
I haven't read this article yet but I'm glad she's spoke out. It was obvious to me she was bullied for years by the media and not liked within Girls Aloud. She deserves to have her say.
Once the media gripped onto Cheryl, Nadine was done unfortunately. The story practically wrote itself with the best singer in the group 'hating' the most popular one and it went from there. Once Cheryl got popular, Kim and Nicola began to cling to her.
Apparently Nadine is back in the studio with Brian Higgins so I look forward to her second album.
And whilst yes they should have discussed the decision to split as a five, nadine was no angel prior to the 1st split, not bothering to show up to the Brits and turning up one day with a manager in tow not even discussing it with the others first
Not turning up to The Brits is such a non-event. The girls weren't performing, were nominated in a category they had not a single hope of winning, it was the equivalent of not turning up to the work Christmas party.
That's good news! I thought the first album had some perfectly solid pop songs but most unfortunately the lead singles was one of the worst tracks on there. I really don't know why Nadine thought Insatiable could have made a better lead single than, say, Red Light, but I do respect her for making the album she wanted and releasing it her way.
Cheryl, much as I've enjoyed some of her songs for being fun pop, is just an industry puppet with no creativity or control when it comes to her music career. I don't overly dislike Cheryl for the most part (aside from the media hysteria and the way she ripped into Wagner on live TV) but I can't see how she has any authority or even much imput at all over her musical direction.
I love Insatiable, both single and album. She's said there are a lot of old Girls Aloud tracks that could possibly be used which I wouldn't mind as Xenomania just seem to make songs work. As much as I do love listening to her first album, I do feel she should probably have gone down the Xenomania route on the first one.
It's not when it's adding fuel to the fire. She was the one who didn't do the ghosthunting, the passions , turning up to the Brits, and like it or not it created the impression she wasn't as much as a team player as the rest of them, it's quite unusual for their to be one person in a band who consistently seems to be the one missing out or not there for group things, it didn't look good
Obviously she could have helped herself and just sucked it up but when she needed to be there, she was. Every interview, every photoshoot, every performance, she was there.
She's said pretty much from day one she wanted to be a singer, she wasn't interested in stuff like Ghosthunting and she explained her reason for Passions. She also was against Off The Record but did it anyway.
Some people act like her moving abroad started the end of Girls Aloud, it didn't because she was here when the schedule needed her. It didn't change the recording process, she made every commitment they had that was in relation to their music career.
I'm not saying Nadine was all innocent but she did get treated unfairly. As for Nadine not turning up to the Brits, it was one award ceremony and she turned up all the important stuff, living on the other side of the Atlantic isn't that big of a deal. At least she didn't sign up for a talent show that rules you out for 4 months of the year. Nadine was always about the singing and the not the publicity and money. Not turning up to endless award shows and doing ridiculous stuff like Ghosthunting.
What she did wrong, was make herself unlikable. Regardless of the 'real' person behind the image, Cheryl was always great at PR and pretending, much like a modern version of what Cilla Black was, in the 60's and 70's. By becoming a people's favourite, her star continued to rise. Nadine, on the other hand has always transparently been jealous of this and unable to fathom why she, as a better singer and arguably better looker, did not have the world fawn over her every move.
Having said that, I do believe a large reason why GA officially split was because of Cheryl. By that stage she'd had 3 solo albums out. I also always get the impression that Nicola and Kimberley follow her like sheep (I could be wrong, but it does always come across like that). I don't think Sarah's opinion really mattered either. Notice how when Kimberley was on Strictly the girls were often going to see her perform and tweeting her etc, yet when Sarah was very recently on Tumble, a very similar show, only Nadine tweeted good luck to her on the final. I Think that speaks volumes.
Cheryl also wrote in her autobiography that Nadine had secured her own management in 2009 and that caused friction and after the Out Of Control tour they needed a break. Can you blame Nadine? Seriously? Of course she got her own management. By mid 2009 Cheryl had already done a series of X Factor, signed up to do another one and was recording her debut solo album, yet Nadine was made out to be the one who was going off doing her own thing?
I also think it speaks volumes the way on their final performance on the tour, Nicola was on the end yet ran across the other girls to be with Cheryl and Kimberley and hug them. It was so uncomfortable to watch
Anyway, Nadine is my favourite member of Girls Aloud by FAR. I'm looking forward to whatever she releases next, I just hope it all goes well and there's no deal with Tesco this time! Sweetest High is such a great pop tune >>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LdZlNAse3g
That wouldn't surprise me. Those three are very close with one another.
Nadine and Cheryl have always given me the impression they were never that friendly. I remember watching their reality show and noticing the tension between Nadine and Cheryl. While to some viewers, it would seem like a typical disagreement but to me, if you read the body language and facial expressions, it is clear these are two women who not each other's fav person but are civil for the sake of the band.
She didn't want the fame aspect of it and therefore the press weren't as keen on her and pushed 'Anything for publicity' Cheryl and those who realised this clung onto her friendship
Yep that probably went against her with the press. I remember her on the documentary series (I think it was on there) and just saying she wasn't impressed, she didn't want to do it but she did it because the other girls wanted to. All she wanted to do was sing, she wasn't interested in the fame.
