Couple of polls here to see who your faves are and is your fave member personality wise the same as who you like more musically.
Sarah is my fave as i think when she did big brother we got to see her vulnerable side, she also did a show here in Ireland called living with lucy and you again see how vulnerable she is but also down to earth.
Cheryl has always been my least fave both musically and a personality.
Nicola got my vote for fave musically as i think she really suprised people with her debut album.
Sarah.
Kimberley.
Nadine.

Sorry double post
I really liked kimberley for a long time but in recent years she has come across more fake and i went right off her, i think this was really highlighted when Nadine was in im a celeb.
Cheryls my favourite musically and personally too (a Geordie icon).
Musically I’d probably say Kimberley as least favourite solo wise but Cheryl and Nicola are the only ones who’s solo work has grabbed me.
I don’t dislike any of them as people though I think they’re all great. There’s no bad eggs in this group.
Interestingly (perhaps another poll idea) but if you were to have asked vocally who I like the best I wonder who people would say there.

Nadine is by far my favourite personality in the group. Her recent 'I'm a Celebrity' stint warmed me to her even more and she has the strongest voice.
I voted for Cheryl for strongest music. I feel like my taste should sway more towards Nicola but 'Beat Of My Drum' aside, her music never really clicked with me in a major way and her voice grates at time. Cheryl has released her fair share of clunkers but also has the largest amount of songs that I feel strongly about in a positive way too.
I voted Kimberley for both of the negative ones but I don't even dislike her that much
Nadine came across brilliantly on I'm a celeb.
It was a good show for Nadine as it was all positive.
I had hoped it would transcend into some musical success.
Nicola has the best solo album, although Nadine was my favourite member.
Cheryl had my least favourite album from anybody ever in Messy Little Raindrops, a few other awful singles, I don't rate her as a performer/artist and I don't like her as a person either... but she does have a few good songs, whereas I found nothing redeeming about any of Kimberley's solo output.
Nicola surprised everyone with her debut and she came up with a sound that wasnt expected, Nadines solo music was a let down and i think solo wise she had the most potential but ended up a bit disappointing really, she just never got that big song when she started out solo which was what she needed.
That Tesco thing ultimately totally f***ed Nadine, which is sad and unfortunate.
What did Kimberley even do, honestly?
The majority of the time I feel like she was just there or just there being Cheryl's shadow.
She has had her solo lines in songs to be fair to her.
I like Nicola both personality wise and musically, her album is excellent!
Least favourite personality wise is Kimberley, her slagging off on Nadine in her book etc really put me off her, I find her a bit basic too out of them all.
Musically it has to be Sarah nothing she has done has grabbed me, I did quite like The Road from Kimberley at least.
It def changed my opinion on her aswell as i think when she wrote her book she thought it might be slightly popular to slag Nadine but when she saw nadines popularity on im a celeb she just changed her opinion.
Kimberley's book put me off her too. She barely had one kind word to say about Nadine or Sarah in it! Obviously we don't know a lot of what happened behind closed doors... but after 10 years, the main comment she made about Sarah is that she didn't think they'd have ever been friends if they'd not been in the group together (which seemed to me like a bit of an unnecessary/cruel thing to point out in a book).
Kimberley and Nadine came across like they were great friends during the Popstars: The Rivals and the earlier days of the band (for a time they lived together!)... there must have been some nice stories to tell of those times, but she didn't share anything.
Whatever her issues were with Nadine must have been very fresh in her mind when the book came out. Clearly Kimberley (and Cheryl/Nicola) had major grievances with Nadine, but I don't think Kimberley's book justified why things got so bad between them. From memory, things Kimberley didn't appreciate: Nadine moving to LA, getting a solo manager towards the end of the Tangled Up era, and stuff like Nadine not being very good at being on time. Idk, it all seemed petty. I doubt many readers of that book would have thought "yeah, I see where Kimberley is coming from".
I'm not sure why Nadine having solo ambitions was so frowned upon, because Cheryl put the ground work in for her solo career during Tangled Up too (that's when she became an X Factor judge), and then she recorded 3 Words during the Out of Control era. Fight for This Love premiered in September 2009, the same month that Girls Aloud embarked on their hiatus. It's not like Cheryl wasted any time. So I've never understood why they resented Nadine for this and not Cheryl.
I was completely obsessed with Girls Aloud during their hey day, so a part of me will always find it a shame that they went on hiatus just as they hit their commercial peak. I'll always believe if they'd released a 6th album it would have been even bigger than Out of Control!
Meh, it's all in the past. If everything is better between them on a personal level now, that's good!
A 6th album without a hiatus would have met with great success.Their hiatus came at the wrong time.
Kimberleys book highlight there was 2 Girls Aloud teams, Cheryl, Nicola and Kimberley in one and Sarah and Nadine in the other.
The book in many ways diminished the perception of the group which wasn't necessary.
I was drawn to Nicola as soon as I first set eyes on the 5 of them, and I was happy to learn later that it was not only superficial attraction, her personality and solo music lived up to my expectations.
I don't dislike any of them, but I'm OK with "least liked", so Nadine ended up at #5 on the personality contest - there's a reason the others no longer wanted to put up with her, and I didn't appreciate her playing the victim in the break-up story to score points with the fans (of course she wanted the band to go on, her solo career was dead and buried at that point).
Musically, I don't have a strong preference apart from my #1 spot, but for the sake of completing my vote, I went with Kimberley as least liked.
Fave member: Nadine

Fave member - Nadine (obviously darling!)
Least fave - Kimberley (in the band she was pretty weak vocally, and she only ever seems to do interviews talking about the more famous members of the band :'))

Least Fave Musically - Kimberley
Nicola has an amazing album and of course slayed on The Masked Singer. She's probably joint 2nd with Sarah. I even like Kimberley most of the time
Along with most of y'all I preferred Sarah/Nadine to Cheryl/Kimberley/Nicola (the Rolaskatox of Girls Aloud xo) That interview they did about PCD was very telling, it was funny but Cheryl/Kimberley/Nicola mouthed off in the front about them (Cheryl in particular was very bitchy about Nicole and Melody, she's always had a problem with Nicole for some reason? ) while Nadine and Sarah kept it classy in the back. I don't dislike any individual member of the group but personality wise Sarah and Nadine come off funnier and more interesting, although Sarah's CBB stint was a bit of a mess.
Ironically that interview shows the divide in the group as in a group of 2 and a group of 3 who are so differnet.
Aah never seen that before. I kinda see why All Saints got to mouthy about them after seeing that interview there was a layer of cattiness to the whole thing! Don't get me wrong AS were OTT in the clap back but I never understood the reasoning before, I see it now.
Def a set up interview to cause a bit of controversy.
I think the press tried to create the girls aloud vs sugababes rivalry but it never kicked in thank god as the tabloiads always loved pitting females against each other.
That interview is a classic
It's funny, Cheryl really had no filter in those days! She just freely said whatever she was feeling and didn't seem to care too much about how that would come across (more evidence of this throughout the Off the Record documentary!). From my perspective, it was only when she became a judge on The X Factor that she became more media trained.
She def became more media trained through the x factor as before that she hadnt a clue how to conduct herself in public,
In general a very bad result for Kimberley.
Favorite member: Cheryl
Least favourite member: Kimberley (don't dislike any of them but the other four just seem to be slightly more well known members)
musically favourite: Nicole (for Lucky Day which I really liked at the time and Beat of My Drum was....interesting.
Musically last favourite: Nadine (solo songs I found a bit bit boring iirc.)
