Remember our review of 'Out Of Control'?

"'Untouchable' should be the 3rd single, with an expensive video set in space."

Just saying...

Don't judge a CD by it's cover!

And on to the new Girls Aloud album.

'The Promise'

Not as 'poppers o'clock' as some Girls Aloud songs, is it? It is a bit more 'Duffy o'clock' though, which is clearly the blueprint for a number one song these days. But what does a number one really mean in this day and agezzzzzzzzzz...

'The Loving Kind'

PSB + GA + Xenomania + time and money = a very very very good song. But 'Call The Shots' was a very very very very good song indeed. Hmmm.

'Rolling Back The Rivers In Time'

And so we come to the longest song title in Girls Aloud history. It's all very Abba-esque, i.e. fan-bloody-tastic. The intro is a bit D:ream-esque too. These are good things, by the way. Should be a single.

'Love Is The Key'

The fourth song in a row with the word "the" in the title (ZOMG WHAT'S THE HIDDEN MEANING?!?!?????!!!!ONE!?). At the start you think it sounds a bit like' Waiting', then you think it sounds like 'Wild Horses', especially because of that choir at the start, and then you remember it's a new Girls Aloud fucking song so stop comparing it to their old ones and saying they've lost their spark and are treading water because this is an album by a girlband who've found their footing now and have realised they don't have to release rave anthems just to keep afloat but can now delve into slightly deeper topics and release songs below 128bpm that are about love and relationships and living in Suffolk.

We're bored now. The album is brilliant. 'Untouchable' should be the 3rd single, with an expensive video set in space. 

It's that time of year

By which we mean, the time of year when all of your favourite popstars bring out their calenders for next year.

Here's Kylie's new one:

And Girls Aloud's:

Even Elvis has done a new photoshoot for his:

This has got to be our favourite though:

Readers! Have you seen any more interesting popstar calenders? Answers on a postcard...

How about a nice picture of Sarah Harding looking disproportionate?

She was out the other night meeting Nadine's new piece. Nicola was also there, but no-one thinks to photograph her do they?

In other Girls Aloud news, the new single will be premiered on Annie Mac's Radio One show at some point in the next week or so. We think.

And the Girls are going to be part of Jo Whiley's Live Lounge On Tour. Whatever that is.

Bop Pop - for all your well-researched and up-to-date pop news!

(Indeed - The World)

It's new Girls Aloud picture time!

Something to do with Kit Kats or charity or white t-shirts, we think.

An Open Letter to Girls Aloud

Hello Girls.

When are you going to release 'Girl Overboard'?

We think you should soon because it is 1. Amazing, 2. Really Amazingly Good, and (c) will send poppers sale through the roof once the Tony Lamezma remix 'hits the clubs'.

If you could just get back to us and let us know, that'd be great.

Thanks.

Bye.
