What a song. It packs SO much punch! Always has been an absolute fave for me!

Call the Shots is just beautiful, what a stunner of a track. The production, the vocals, it's so subtle by their standards, which makes it so striking :heart: Nicola's "dreams that glitter" is perfection!

I remember being on holiday in Scotland when Sexy! premiered. It had quite an early in the morning premiere on radio, but the reception was bad... I heard bits of it and it sounded so chaotic :lol: I had to wait until going home to be able to hear it properly. An amazing way to start off that era, a song that only Girls Aloud could do. One of their very best! :wub:

 

Call the Shots is absolutely gorgeous :heart: One of my favourite mid-tempo songs of all time. The middle 8 with Nadine/Nicola is divine. It doesn't surprise me that UK radio finally warmed to Girls Aloud with this song - a #1 airplay smash!

Ooft the 'Tangled Up' era was everything :wub: 'Call The Shots' is lush! I'm so glad that it was quite a long-running hit for them too.

This has aged rather well for me. It's still really overrated, imo, but it's lovely. I find the chorus a bit monotonous and bland (something which The Loving Kind does better for me!) still... it's cute.

Hello all!

 

'Call the Shots' is a big fave, takes me right back to hearing it on the radio at the time. Nicola's middle-8 is beautiful. :heart:

07 Can't Speak French

 

Ugh, Tangled Up really was THAT bitch. All three singles are perfection!! (and I firmly believe this was the right third single, even over Girl Overboard!)

'Can't Speak French' is genuinely a 10/10 for me too... a flawless singles run! Really takes me back to being in Spain during summer '08, so much fun :wub:

Oh God. I really don't like this. This to me is what IUSA is to Britney's discography... the album they come from has a bunch of more interesting and better hits :drama: This is irritating, but catchy.

08 Something Kinda Ooooh

 

I know a lot of fans would have preferred 'Girl Overboard' but I think 'Can't Speak French' was a great choice of single! Tangled Up could definitely have had more singles if they weren't bothered about maintaining their run of Top 10s.

Omg it's banger after banger :cheeseblock: SKO is in their top 5 best, what an ANTHEM!!

'Something Kinda Ooooh' is such a stomper :wub: fond memories of listening to 'The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits' with my friends a lot during this time!

For a long time this was my favourite Girls Aloud single - it's quality definitely hasn't waned but I think there's a couple of songs that just edge above it now.

 

Love Nadine/Nicola's 'rap' section and Cheryl is the star of the video.

Anyone else learn the dance moves? :lol:

Can't Speak French :wub: I was always more than satisfied with this being chosen as the third single - many weren't! It's such a great, quirky bop. It had great longevity in the UK chart! http://girlsalouddiscography.weebly.com/ca...eak-french.html

 

SOMETHING

KINDA

OOOOH

 

:cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock:

 

I never ever get remotely bored of this! A barnstorming BOP *.* My absolutely favourite song by them. I remember playing this, All Saints - Rock Steady and Sugababes - Easy on a loop for weeks :lol:

WHAT A BANGER! I absolute love, love, L O V E this. It's a beast and never fails to get me going. Flawless. Until Untouchable came along, this was always my favourite. Surprisingly, Kimberley's part is my fave.

 

Also, when thinking about how many "O"s to use in the title, I always envision the single cover where each member is inside a letter :')
