I don't mind anyone's opinion, but it's probably worth remembering that this set is not meant to be a "tour setlist", it's very much constructed (and all songs are reworked) with a fully seated venue (well, a restaurant) in mind, focusing on more emotional songs. Uptempo songs would be totally out of place, and the only appropriate thing about a song like Take a Bite in this setting would be its title.

By popular demand, here are some additional details after the second show (and having slept on it more than once):

- the song I didn't know (well the second song, I didn't know the Frank Ocean one either, I just found it more easily) turned out to be God Is a Woman, originally by Ariana Grande. It was suggested by, and on the first night performed with Joe Ross, former Girls Aloud tour guitarist and musical director

- the crowd was much louder on Friday

- Kimberley was in attendance for the second show

So she's still not performing new music... it's so odd.. she's been teasing NR2 since 2013, when I met her last year she said it was done and coming and yet... here we are... nothing. What a bizarre setlist.

Anyone else hearing Nicola's voice in Queen Bee on The Masked Singer?

New interview with Nicola in The Guardian today, to promote her upcoming West End debut in 'City of Angels', which opens in March: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jan/...e-shed-ever-met

 

How awful about her stalker ordeal, poor lamb. Glad she's OK and settled now. She's also working with Fred Ball who she worked with a lot on 'Cinderella's Eyes' but hasn't said anything concrete about a new album.

It’s a 1000% Nicola behind the Queen Bee Mask on the Masked Singer...

I definitely heard Nicolas voice tonight.

 

I was 50/50 last week but within about ten seconds of tonight’s performance I knew it was her.

 

And the clues too. The drum referencing her debut solo track! And another clue matched to her wanting to pass a sunbed law.

You can literally hear her accent in the VOs. It's her.

Just had a quick sconce on ITV Player at lunch. It's her alright, I recognise her voice anywhere! Hopefully this will push her towards her second album if she does well on this.

Bee is so winning The Masked Singer UK.

 

It’s definitely Nicola as well! Cheryl even said in her TV Mag interview that she thinks it’s her (but then said Nicolas denied it to her but it was just to bluff readers) we know it’s her.

 

 

SHE WON! (Not revealed yet - but it's basically confirmed as her now lmao)

Amazing!!!!!!

I was just saying in The Masked Singer thread that I think this was such a good show for Nicola to do. It’s showcased her voice to the GP in a way what no other show could do and I’d be surprised if we didn’t get another album from her this year. She’s gonna get some deals after this for sure whether it’s theatre or a new solo album being announced.

 

I’m thrilled that she won though. Most consistent performer for sure!

Cinderella’s Eyes the album is up to #24 on UK iTunes!

Great to see her debut pick up a few extra sales now.

Just saw her on This Morning and she said she’d love to do something with Girls Aloud for the fans for the 20th anniversary in 2022! It just depends on where everyone is at when the time comes around. Here’s hoping!
