Girls Aloud

Sounds of The Underground was their first big hit. Their image was undefined, but we had Nadine's long legs right from the start and Sarah was doing her trashy blonde bit with the boots and her sexy dances. Kimberley first showed us her big pouty lips. Nicola was the rough one from day one. Tweedy was totally undefined - she looked like a weird chav in this vid and didn't yet have her trademark pouts and hair.

In second vid No Good Advice they were no better defined. Same goes for third single Life Got Cold. Speaking of which, not a good choice for a third song. After a big number one debut single, and a Rocky follow up, it's good to do a ballad as your third single. Worked for Avril Lavigne. However LGC was more like an early Sugababes song and didn't suit GA. There could have been a much better choice, especially when we look ahead to songs such as Stand By You or Whole Lotta History.

Next song was a cover of the Pointer Sister's Jump for the soundtrack to Love Actually. Still undefined in terms of hair and clothes. Tweedy has started smiling in her vids now, and the hair is wild and volumous. We never liked her with the short bob.

The Show was the first song off the second album "What Will The Neighbours Say?" Image still undefined. Sarah's hair is growing, as is Tweedys, and they've all started experimenting with colour. Tweedy smiling. Nicola worse than ever.

Love Machine. This is where it starts to come together. A different direction musically and the image is starting to gel. Dancing in a nightclub in sexy dresses, with long brown legs and cleavages. The first truly vintage GA vid. Sarah's hair is good, long and flowing as it would remain for the next few vids. Nadine looks right, her hair is right, legs are out, voice is strong. Even Nicola looks passable now. Tweedy still isn't right. The smile now looking a bit forced and false, hair scraped back, and the worst dress of all of them. Sexiest dress is Kimberley by far, a pink number cut in all the right places. Hair jet black. Pouting, wiggling, tanned. Kimberley's sexiest moment ever.

I'll Stand By You. Second cover, second ballad, and their defining moment. The stylists must have been working overtime and they got it right. Hair, makeup, wardrobe. Tweedy's defining moment, absolutely perfect, and she's started doing her facial expressions and that pout, and her little girl face. Nicola looks OK, hair darker. A simple vid, just a sand dune in a studio, but effective. This vid defines the GA image.

Wake Me Up. The fourth single from the second album. The one on the motorbikes. Nicola's best vid. Her hair is dark, her skin is tanned, her body is firm, her abs are tight, and she sings the second verse. For the first time she actually looks like she belongs in the band. Sarah and Tweedy have long and flowing hair. Sarah's best hair vid.

Long Hot Summer. Following up on Wake Me Up, the song for the summer of 2005. First song off the third album. Unfortunately this is a bad vid. Hair and makeup is wrong, lighting is wrong and unflattering, wardrobe is bad. Nicola gets front and centre for the dances and looks bad. We'd never say Tweedy could look rough, but she almost does here. "Unflattering" doesn't quite cover it. Considering how they came along visually in the last two vids, this is a let down.

See The Day. Third ballad, third cover. Nicola getting away with it just, with long dark hair. The band look good again, Nadine sounds terrific.

Biology. Sexy black dresses. Hair and makeup great. A great promo for the album. Vintage GA again.

Whole Lotta History, An original ballad. Nadine looks gorgeous at the start in a wooly jumper. Tweedy looks gorgeous on the bed in lingerie. The fourth song off an album will never sell as well as it's predecessors and this deserved to have been released earlier, before the See The Day cover.

Something Kinda Ooh. The Greatest Hits album was released next and this was the original single from it. Sexiest vid ever. Sexiest song ever. The one with the cars. Nadine wearing one of her now trademark strapless dresses. Tweedy looks sensational in figure hugging outfit. The group line dance is some of their worst ever choreography. The sillouette solo dancing is some of their sexiest ever. Done on a budget and rushed and it shows, but who cares? Nicola is now back to a messy red blob and pale skin like she's given up. Harding now sports raunchy blonde bob, like the old days, which is how we like her best.

Think We're Alone Now. Cover song for a film soundtrack. Tweedy's sexiest dress ever.

Walk This Way. Cover duet with the Sugababes for Comic Relief. Tweedy looks odd, a bit like Posh did in "Who Do You Think You Are?". SThought: switch Heidi and Nicola and GA would be THE perfect girl band. They pretty much are anyway.

Sexy? No! No! No! The first song off next album Tangled Up. Tight rubber suits. Should be Sexy? Yes! Yes! Yes!

Call The Shots. Sarah's worst hair ever. Just whose idea was that? Some of Tweedy's best leg shots, especially those tanned thighs. She doesn't get enough credit for her legs, as Nadine takes most of the attention, but she can hold her own standing next to The Bombshell. Tweedy hair shorter and straight, not her best look. Nadine hair long and straight, not her best look.

Can't Speak French. Nadine looks spectacular in this vid in her strapless bodice, cleavage heaving, hair flowing, makeup and face perfect, and some of her best vocals. Nicola looks like a bloke in drag.

The Promise. First song from Out Of Control album. Tweedy's legs on show again in 60s throwback vid. Nadine looks incredible in her sparkling torch dress. Nicola looks like an old woman. Sarah hair bad.

The Loving Kind and Untouchable. The two most recent songs from the most recent album, and probably the only ones they'll release from it. These together show the band has gone as far as they can musically and visually.

Will there be another album?
