Ooooh, slay "Biology"! *.* I've heard it on a few Bank Holidays this year and I heard the Arctic Monkeys's cover of "Love Machine" last weekend during R1's Greatest Hits :D

Nadine and Brian Higgins have done an interview with The Guardian, but I need to pick this out:

 

Even before the reunion was announced at a press conference in late 2012 problems appeared. Despite Xenomania creating all their singles, the band, minus Coyle, had decided their comeback song wasn’t going to be glitter-bomb banger Something New but the limp, non-Xenomania ballad Beautiful ’Cause You Love Me (a No 97 smash when it was eventually released).

 

“I was in Disneyland and I was told that was the song they were going with and so I said I couldn’t do the reunion,” she says. “‘Beautiful ’cause you love me’? We’re beautiful anyway! But then I got a call back saying it was now Something New and I was like, ‘OK, let’s do it.’”

omg good on Nadine!!! Putting her foot down *.*

Makes you wonder if they wanted that because they all had solos but Nadine??

Most probably, I saw a Digital Spy article about Nadine saying that one of the reasons behind the split was the others getting jealous and stroppy because she always had solos :lol:

 

Obv I hate Something New but BCYLM would've been a flop comeback of Spice Girls - Headlines proportions :lol: Obviously even worse. As the first single with all the hype and promo, I assume would have got a bit higher but it wouldn't have been a top 3 like Something New, so at least they have that as a last hurrah and we can pretend BCYLM never happened.

Omg you are actually kidding. If they had gone with "Beautiful" for the comeback :rofl: These bitches

The thought of BCYLM being lead... :') :') Thank goodness Nadine put her foot down! But that makes me think that might have been another source of brewing tension between them. The other girls evidently got their own way to some extent, considering they pretty much promoted BCYLM alongside Something New anyway.

From a couple of Nadine interviews:

 

"We’d signed a new deal and recorded what was basically another new album."

"It’s the same vocal that I sang around the time we were doing a new album for Girls Aloud. The 2013 vocal will remain."

 

... oh, what could have been! :( I didn't realise they were recording to the extent that a new album was potentially in the works. What a shame that everything evidently imploded.

:( :( such a shame that many of those songs never saw the light of day!

Thank goodness for Nadine then, I cannot fathom why BCYLM was even considered as lead :mellow: I can't believe we could've got another album from them, hopefully the songs leak one day! :(

You have got to be kidding! BCYLM as the lead comeback single, it's as bad a decision as Spice Girls with Headlines... worse even!

 

What a shame we never got the potential sixth studio album.

BCYLM wouldn't have been a good pick for a comeback single, that's obvious, but if you think of it as the single for Children In Need - a nice ballad with a positive message -, it makes some sense. There's a reason for choosing a not particularly adventurous version of I'll Stand By You 8 years earlier.

 

Based on the songs ended up Ten plus Go To Work, I thank all higher powers for saving us from album #6 - it may have been ok, but that's not good enough from them.

I think Something New and On the metro were fantastic. An album full of them would have suited me just fine. I actually quite like BCYLM just not as a single, a bit like Headlines by Spice Girls I like it just not as a single.

Sarah tweeted Cheryl. She responded! :drama: This is the biggest thing to happen for over 4 years! :drama:

 

No idea who Georgia is and she doesn't seem to know why she was @'ed either.

:wub: Lovely to see them communicate!

Cheryl is either planning something or is the worlds biggest troll to post a tweet like that :lol:

Greatest Hits coming soon? :P

That's probably the best way to relaunch herself after her time out since Only Human.

I think Cheryl is trying to get fan interaction going again.
