I found the love, I found the love in me Pronouns: He/Him Joined: 13 December 2007 Posts: 87,431 User: 5,042	I bought Can't Speak French on CD single (!!! - tbf I didn't dislike it as much at the time as I do now lmao) and Hoxton Heroes was such a good B-Side! I understand why it's a B-Side, but I honestly think it should've made TU!

It is funny hearing Cheryl singing "chart at 57" following the performance of 'Let You' though.

It's so punchy, and those lyrics are so sassy and acerbic Not Cheryl ending up having a #57 single of her own after singing "chart at 57" in this song Memory of You Their best B Side imo! Only Kimberley and Nicola contribute vocals on this song. I think this might be Kimberley's shining moment in Girls Aloud tbh, outside of the Something Kinda Ooooh kink in your steel moment! Fans were pissed that this was only available on the The Loving Kind picture disc. There were campaigns for it to be released properly! Thankfully just months later it became available via the Singles Box Set . I'm glad it was included on Ten so that it ended up having a home on streaming too. 11 Something Kinda Ooooh 11 Something New 10 Call the Shots 10 Biology 10 Sexy!

"Jayrusaleminians" - Umi. Pronouns: he/him Joined: 4 April 2007 Posts: 41,417 User: 3,217	That was an incredibly enjoyable listening session Definitely a lovely reminder of why Girls Aloud are most definitely one of the greatest girl groups ever Thank you everyone for your contributions to this thread, it's been fun! Hearing Long Hot Summer with Joseph and Jade now... this under-appreciated bop has aged surprisingly well! I distinctly remember at the time how it felt like it fell really flat with the public. Then Brian Higgins ended up throwing the song under the bus. I don't think this was deserved.

AND IT WAS MADE AS THE PICTURE DISC B-SIDE ONLY They didn't trust her :') Thanks for this Joseph! It's been a blast and lovely to relisten to their discography during the recent news. WE LOVE YOU SARAHHHHH! EDIT: Also, Long Hot Summer is a bop and has grown on me more over time!

Break the tension Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 88,906 User: 51	'Long Hot Summer' is a total classic, I loved it at the time and it remains one of their best. I enjoyed reading through this thread, I'm gonna have to revisit their B-sides - also, totally forgot about 'Androgynous Girls'! I need to rediscover that beauty! Also can I just say that 'Crazy Fool' >>>>> basically the entirety of Cheryl's solo career, and I wish it'd been more like that.
