Girls are not Aloud.

I can't speak french comprehend how saddened I am about Girls Aloud officially splitting up. Soon after their last tour date in Liverpool last night, a tweet appeared on the Girls Aloud twitter saying:

" Dear Alouders, we just want to say from the bottom of our hearts Thank you!! This tour has been an amazing experience and the perfect chance to say thank you for being on this journey with us through a decade. It has far exceeded any of our dreams and we hope we are forever your inspiration and reminder that dreams really do glitter!! Your love and support will stay with us forever but we have now come to the end of our incredible time together . Love you lots."




So I would just like to say on behalf of all the gays, girls and straight men who love pop music. We love you too.  The pop world will be a very upsetting place without you because lets face it, you had some UNTOUCHABLE tunes. I have three words for you. Call. The. Shots.

There's no denying that the girls are going to be fine on their own. They're all fucking minted. Plus all of the girls except Sarah, have released solo music and in my opinion, they should carry on. Some better (Cheryl and Nicola) than others (Nadine and Kimberly). It's time for SOMETHING NEW from the girls (I'm sorry).

Here is a Spotify playlist of my favourite Girls Aloud songs (basically all the singles plus 'On The Metro' twice).

GIRLS ALOUD/TEN TOUR: A REVIEW

So I went to see Girls Aloud on Sunday and it was a pretty amazing night. Amelia Lily opened and she was pretty good at warming up the crowd. When she was announced as support act I was very happy, but like every concert I go to, she wasn't the reason I bought the ticket. The girls (ALOUD) opened up with 'Sound of the Underground' and it was absolute perfection. They finished with 'The Promise', which again, was absolute perfection. Here is a bullet pointed list of the other things I found good and what I didn't find so good.

THE ALOUD
  •  THE FUCKING ENTRANCE!!!!
  • THEY FLEW ACROSS THE AUDIENCE ON A HUGE 'GIRLS ALOUD' BANNER. Amazing.
  • Nicola Roberts .
  • Two words. Act Three. It included probably everyone's favourite Girls Aloud songs (Sexy! No No No..., Untouchable, On The Metro and Call The Shots).
  • UNTOUCHABLE!!!
  • Nicola Roberts.
  • They covered the much respected, cultural icon that is, Carly Rae Jepsen.
  • Something New was fucking mental.
  • Doing 'The Promise' choreography with some stranger.
  • BIOLOGY!!!
  • Nicola Roberts.
 THE NOT SO ALOUD
  • Nadine Coyle's accent.
And that's pretty much my experience summed up. Before I go to watch 'The Devil Wears Prada', here are some Instagram pictures I took during the show. You can follow me on Instagram here.


 BYE!
