The history
of Girls Aloud is pretty much a series of events that shouldn’t have happened
the way they did, ridiculous ideas that turned out great, blessings in disguise
and misfortunes that ultimately helped them, all these little contradictions.
To begin with, they shouldn’t have a fan like me, a guy who spent the last 20+
years listening to the likes of Depeche Mode, The Cure, R.E.M., New Order and
The Smiths. But for me, they fit in there perfectly – pop music at its best,
with a bit of a twist, something that makes it unusual.
