As I'm sure everyone is aware by now, there is a song contest between all the artist forums of Buzzjack. And it's time to get the process of selecting the song Girls Aloud will be represented by underway!

The theme is Should've been a single. Think of all the times you saw the video for 'See The Day' on the TV and you were internally SCREAMING at the screen 'IT SHOULD'VE BEEN MODELS!!!!!11111111111'

Firstly, we're having a nominations round to determine which songs will have the prestigious honour of competing in our national final. You can vote for up to 15 non-singles that you feel really deserved that more wide-spread recognition. This applies to both Girls Aloud AND Solo Aloud albums! The top 5 or 6 nominated songs will go forward to the final round!

I'll leave this nominations round open until 23:59 on Sunday 28th August with the final going up Bank Holiday Monday!

GO GIRLS G-G-GO GO GOOOO!

Right, I have a lot.

The MOST obvious one for me is Girl Overboard.

But Also think good shouts are...

Black Jacks
Miss You Bow Wow
Graffiti My Soul
Wild Horses
Close to Love
Waiting

I also want to say Swinging London Town, but there's no way enough people would "get" that.

Can I just nominate 'Tangled Up' and 'Miss You Bow Wow'?

Seriously though 'Girl Overboard' & 'Miss You Bow Wow' are the biggest "should have been singles" imo!

So here's my list:

GA - Miss You Bow Wow
GA - Girl Overboard
Nicola - Say It Out Loud
Cheryl - A Million Lights
GA - You Freak Me Out

NO to On The Metro.

YES to Girls Allowed.

Posted by: JosephSpears 24th August 2016, 10:11 PM

Do people really not think On the Metro was a missed opportunity for a single? I prefer Girl Overboard but On the Metro feels like the biggest case here for me, when they thought BCYLM would be a better choice

Posted by: Jonjo 24th August 2016, 10:16 PM

I'd rather they just left it at SN tbh. (I get why that was the lead single, despite not really liking it much myself)

OTM is def a better song overall (than both the other two) but I don't think it'd have worked well as a single at all. It felt too much like "brilliant B-side" to be able to carry a full singles campaign on it's own, imo.

Posted by: Joe. 24th August 2016, 11:28 PM

Yeah I don't see On The Metro as a huge missed opportunity, but it would have done a lot better than Bcylm.

I couldn't comment on all this 'On The Metro' shade last night because I was paralysed with rage.

Posted by: jakewild 25th August 2016, 12:22 PM

on the metro is ALRIGHT but where is the love for I'm Falling??

Posted by: 152chris 25th August 2016, 05:46 PM

where it belongs in the back swamps of manchester

Posted by: Joe. 25th August 2016, 05:54 PM

I definitely think it looks like it's between Girl Overboard and On The Metro. Two fab choices but I feel the former sounds slightly more like a single.

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th August 2016, 06:01 PM

On The Metro Such a missed opportunity and still such a tune
