      I have no idea who these girls are, but THAT'S an award show performance, not the shit no-talent teens that perform on the Grammys with their pants falling off and dirty hair and clothes! Well done!



    11. 11

      Unfortunately they can't go to the US!
      All of them except Cheryl can get a work Visa… Because she screwed up by hitting a toilet attendant in a night club when they first came out…
      LOVE them though! They rock!



    12. 12

      they'd never make it in USA.



    13. 13

      PS. They were brilliant at The Brits and looked FABULOUS!



    14. 14

      wooot



    15. 15

      Perez, I love this performance! Thank you for adoring Girls Aloud as much as I do! xoxo Chief John



    16. 16

      you here.



    17. 17

      Why such an Anglophile Mario?



    18. 18

      yay!!!! I watched the live stream of it from here in America. They need to come to the USA its so unfair that we can't enjoy their superbness in person!!!!!

      Re: Kendall!!!COLON!!!x3 – Why must there always be fucking dick heads like you on this fucking site? If you don't care why the fuck do you waste time commenting on it. Skim over it you twat. Anybitch, AMAZING performance. No shit like that fuckfest at the Grammys.



    20. 20

      GAY GAY GAY. SO GAY.



    22. 22

      I am lucky enough to have met the girls and I can positively state they're are as exquisite behind the scenes as they on stage! Love em



    23. 23

      I love Girls Aloud!

      but ugh…..I hate that fat fuck James Corden.



    24. 24

      I totally agree they need to break the US market. But to do that would mean spending large amounts of time here & the only one that could easily make that commitment is Nadine since she lives in L.A. anyways. If the spice girls could do it 10 years ago GA can do it now. Simon Cowell is suppose to be helping Cheryl work out the visa problem. I've listened to UK pop music for years now; it will always top the artists from here in the states. The only bad part is that really, really talented bands don't stay together. Just look at Blue & Atomic Kitten & Westlife. I've been fans of them for years, but they all broke up before even starting to think about cracking the US. UK pop is quality, hit music. I recommend anyone to check it out. Listen to Heart FM.co.uk.



    25. 25

      Re: Kendall!!!COLON!!!x3 – This site is for all entertainment news, not just american entertainment news jeez!



    26. 26

      Great performance and they all looked lovely!



    27. 27

      I love Girls Aloud. Amazing performance and great win. And yes they need to come to America.



    28. 28

      STAY AWAY FROM NORTH AMERICA PLEASE! OR ATLEAST CHERYL COLE SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM HERE!.



    29. 29

      They're terrible. They can STAY in the UK!



    30. 30

      I am sooooooo HAPPY for them, I am about to cry. ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!

    31. Dizzy says – reply to this


      31

      I get why people like them, i really do! They're drag queen gold dust! But the camera angles did nothing for this performance, it kept panning out to the farthest point and took away a lot from the performers! And i admire that they sang live, but come on girls, would it kill ye to have shown up for a few dance classes over the last 6 years? Walking is not dancing! I miss the classic Sound of the Underground days at the start!



    32. 32

      YES YES YES!!



    33. 33

      WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?????? SPICE GIRLS WANNABE'S?????



    34. 34

      YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!



    35. 35

      that was their best performance of the promise ever!!! love cheryl and kimberly xoxo



    36. 36

      Love this song and the band but they can't sing live for shit



    37. 37

      Re: DanaMarie=] – They're not like the Spice Girls because they lasted 6 years, they actually like each other and they care about their fans.



    38. 38

      Re: DanaMarie=] – Their music is so much better than the Spice Girls.

      GA are megastars, yet somehow they are likeable and relatable. They all speak their mind, they treat their fans like royalty and they love each other.

      Ignorant cow.



    39. 39

      Re: lavalamp77 –
      You are so right Girls Aloud are nothing like the Spice Girls. The Spice Girls were together for a couple of years and became known worldwide. Everyone might not like them but they know who they are. Girls Aloud has been together six years and who really knows them. I can ask 100 people have they ever heard of Girls Aloud maybe five will say yeah. The only reason I know them is because Perez talks about them. I liked them at first until one of the girls dissed the Spice Girls.



    40. 40

      They lost out to Iron Maiden for Best Live Band and Cheryl Cole was not happy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck on it Biatch!!!



    41. 41

      Re: Danneel aka Sandpiper – NO PLEASE TAKE HER!!! I BEG YOU! PLEASE!



    42. 42

      They look stunning but has anyone noticed how as their success has rised their waislines has lowered they are so skinny now, but I supopose this is the way the industry demands them to be. I think Cheryl is gonna be HUGE in America soon bcos she has the backing of Simon Cowell behind her, she's the most succesful member of the band and is like Britains sweetheart. She is a judge on The X Factor (like American Idol) and is married to a football player +their a celeb couple over here. I never used to like Nadine bcos she always seemed up her own arse but she's now my fave ga member bcos I read an interview she did for a magazine called Company (I think) + she seems so lovely,funny+smart ive totally done a u turn on my oppinion of her. She is the most vocally talented member of ga + has a beautiful voice which I think she could go solo + be really successfull in the USA. Cheryl will become a big tv personality in my oppinion, + good luck to them all as no one expected them to do so well or last so long!



    43. 43

      Ummm they didnt loose out on best live act seen as they were not nominated for that you retard. Girls Aloud are officially Britains most successful British girl group, they've had 20 top 10 hits in a row and 6 albums, twice as many as the Spice Girls who were around for 4 yrs then pissed off. They deserved that award and America would be lucky to have them.



    44. 44

      WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT HE-SHE WEARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    45. 45

      2 Many white suits on stage… over produced… the girls seemed lost to me… they better improve there staging before crossing the pond… or it's Atlantic city here we come!!!



    46. 46

      Re: jacob5phantom – SORRY BUT WE DON'T WANT THEM NOR CHERYL! KEEP EM' PLEASE! LOL



    47. 47

      "Our Ladies" - piss off & go screw over Danity Kane or whatever they're called.
      They're a UK band so get your filthy paws off them.



    48. 48

      the chick with the short blonde hair is the only one that can sing well on her own the others sounded shit and the song is crap. they sound alright in harmony in the chorus though. they've got nothing on the spicegirls i dont care how long they've been together i've never heard of them. and i m in aus.. where all the brit music comes first… obviously they suck



    49. 49

      Re: Aussie_Girls_Aloud – they are not megastars nobody besides britain knows who they are. spicegirls are megastars..everyone knows who they are



    50. 50

      Isn't it amazing how the anonymity of the internet makes some people behave like complete idiots? And speak as if their opinion is fact?

      "We don't want them". Speak for yourself children. I love them and it is MY OPINION that this continent could use a great pop act like them.



    51. 51

      YaY! So pleased for them! They should have opened the show too. Perez, you should post the Ting Tings Vs Estelle set too, that was pretty fucking amazing. Katie from the Ting Tings is hot as hell.



    52. 52

      Re: spacie_O – Everyone might know who the Spice Girls are but does anyone know them individually? Oh yes! They know them as Ginger Spice, Baby Spice, Sporty Spice, Scary Spice and Victoria Beckham! They have no individual identities, besides Victoria of course. No one gives a fuck about their solo shit or even learning their real names. They are big as a band but nothing special solo. Girls Aloud on the other hand are. Everyone in the UK knows it's Cheryl, Nadine, Sarah, Kimberley and Nicola. They do their own shiz and always come back to the band, unlike those Spice Bitches. Suck on that twat!



    53. 53

      Damn Perez! Can you get out of these bitches ass crack! No one outside of the fuckin UK knows who these bitches are. They've been together for 6 years you say?? And you're saying they should come over here?? NOT! They're pass their prime to be famous over here. No one knows who they are plus they would never make it over it. And to the young lady saying Cheryl Cole is going to be huge over here. I'd bet both of my legs and a breast that she won't. She will not make it over here. I know you guys think she is the most beautiful thing walking around the UK(considering that UK girls look like crap, then I guess she is) but she is plain when it comes to US celebrities and the girls in LA and NY make her look like a dog. Sorry. We don't want her. Keep her.



    54. 54

      NICE! Idiots of the world take note: THIS IS WHAT SINGING LIVE IS. None of that Britney Spears lip syncing crap. Oh and Perez, you look ravishing in red! LOL!



    55. 55

      cool



    56. 56

      Blah the only song I have ever really enojyed by them was " I dont speak french" other then that for pop songs. They never seem to really flow or have that certain catchy sound to it. im sure as far as The Brit awards go they were the best to pick from. Congrats girls.



    57. 57

      The lighting director needs fired- they were in the darkness when the spotlight should have been on them, and Duffy's face was in darkness pretty much the whole way through her performance



    58. 58

      love love love them. fabulous girls.
      at least they sing live, not like bloody britney spears or any of that crap.



    59. 59

      Re: Miss USA – I am not in the UK and I know who they are.

      Some of you Americans are so dumb seriously. Just because you don't know something, they are automatically crap and they are a bunch of skanks.

      Get your heads outta your backsides and take a listen idiots.



    60. 60

      Re: Gaijin Princess – Hahahah whatever



    61. 61

      The UK love girls aloud and they love perez!
      Why hate on these girls just because they are british?!?! Jealous much?!?!



    62. 62

      It makes me laugh at the sad people who actually come on here and just like to slate girls aloud. Get a fucking life.

      They have it all. The money, the looks, the eye candy, the great songs, the amazing management, the BEST fans and a fucking BRIT AWARD.

      So fuck the haters.



    63. 63

      Re: Aussie_Girls_Aloud –

      Haha exaclty. I'd bet my legs and breasts that Miss USA is actually a gay male!!!



    64. 64

      That is the worst music I have ever heard! It's a trashy crappy rip off of Abba! Perez, seriously you wonder why they don't come to America? Ummm????? Because they suck and no one would buy their shit!



    65. 65

      Re: TeamBlonde –

      Wrong Bitch. I'm a female.



    66. 66

      Re: Aussie_Girls_Aloud –

      Puleeze. No one cares if you know who they are. You and only about 5 other losers on this board knows who they are. Just because no one knows who they are doesn't make them dumb you asswipe. And Americans are not dumb. That would be you stupid ass Australians. Piss off.

      Nadine lives in America ffs!

      Well Done girls



    68. 68

      Re: Miss USA – If u dont know anything about them then y fucking comment u silly lil bitch!
      UK girls are real…. Kate Moss, heard of her? U silly cow! LA girls…. scratch that…. US girls are fake as fuck!
      not only in looks but in personalitites too, u are all clones of each other.
      U all need to get a life.



    69. 69

      Girls Aloud are the best girl bad of all time, no question about it!!!! They're all beautiful, talented, and most importantly, they're all really nice, down to earth girls, unlike lots of american stars, who are up their own arses and mime for a living. I really hope they dont go to America 'coz we want to keep them over here where they belong and where they are unbelievably popular and loved by everyone.



    70. 70

      Their crap always remind me of ABBA. That's not a good thing.



    71. 71

      Re: MissBritishBex –

      I comment on them because I can. Next question.



    72. 72

      Re: MissBritishBex –

      And yeah I've heard of Kate Moss. And?? That bitch is FUGLY. And she needs her teeth fixed. US girls fake?? HA! Bitch you wish we were fake. Listen, jealousy is an ugly thing. And with you being in the UK, you're probably already ugly so you really don't need any jealousy to fuck up your looks than they already are. Toodles!!



    73. 73

      I have tried to find out why anyone could think the girls can sing, it is still a mystery. THE GIRLS CAN`T SING!!!!!.Leona or Alexandra deserved the award.



    74. 74

      Re: nanaama – That's just your opinion. Evidence proves otherwise. The award was voted on by the British public. They're the most successful girl band in UK history with 20 consecutive top 10 singles in 7 years. In the UK they're more successful than the Spice Girls were by far. Just because they're not well known in North America it doesn't negate all of that. There's a whole other world out there you know.



    75. 75

      Ahahahaha! Why would anybody want to be famous in America when they have enough money, fans and annoying paparazzi in the UK!

      Get a grip Perez. Nobody sensible wants to be famous in the US.



    76. 76

      Re: Miss USA –
      LOL sorry but i have to reply. i lived in england for 6 years and the girls over there are much preetier and classier than the ugly sluts that we get in LA. girls aloud. come to america PLEASE.



    77. 77

      Re: Miss USA – Any country that keeps George Bush in office for 8 years is thick! I could write a book how dumb some Americans are. Go back to your hole in Texas ya hear!



    78. 78

      Re: GirlsAloud –

      well said.
      why would u watch a video and waste your time commenting on it if you don't like it?

      GIRLS ALOUD ARE AMAZING. WELL DONE FOR WINNING!



    79. 79

      Re: Aussie_Girls_Aloud –

      ahahaha. brits and aussies dont have a reputation of getting on but im loving you more and more.

      Re: GirlsAloud – Right, there seems to be a lot of very defensive girls aloud fans on here! And thats fine, they're not my cuppa tea, but i get them! They're fun! they're catchy! But sorry, please dont come on here and say that nobody knows the spice girls individually! You can use perez's Starseeker to find them ALL solo! (Geri's even alphabetically before GA) You could even ask your granny and she'd be able to name at least 3! GA have become ONE of the best selling girl bands Not THEE Best selling girl Band! And the spice's had fewer albums, and fewer singles and are on record for selling more! Thats Quality Not Quantity! But that was then, this is now, its their time now, and without them things would be boring! But you gotta admit earlier GA tracks were far superior! I miss the sound of the underground, no good advice and Life got cold! I want old raw GA back! It suited them better! PS: GirlsAloud or Aussie_Girls_Aloud no need to tear me a new asshole for this post! I just made a valid point and in no way dissed your fav group ;)



    81. 81

      Why are people banging on about them never breaking America. Who gives a shit. Why is it "oh so important to break America" NO FANXX. These girls have sense. They are home girls. It's too late in their career to break America and I've never seen the big who har about it.

      Girls Aloud are way better off for not breaking America. They have the most loyal fan base ever in the UK. And without us, they would be doing whatever One True Voice is doing now…..



    82. 82

      Re: EssexLou –

      Exactly!! i agree. They could have easily gone off to the US yearrsss ago but they havnt because why would they want to? They dont care about the fame or the money they could have if they went to america ..i hate it when british artists leave to seak fame in the US and forget where they came from!

      LOVE YOU GA!



    83. 83

      great performance. singing-wise nadine was excellent as usual, nicola was pretty good as well but sarah should have mimed or something!



    84. 84

      Re: spacie_O – they are the biggest girlband in the uk and ireland and have had hits in australia and europe, they may not be household names in the us but seeing as taylor swift and soulja boy are huge in america im not going to put much faith in the american music taste



    85. 85

      Re: british(L) – High five. WOO



    86. 86

      Re: Dizzy – It's all good. I respect the Spice Girls, still a little sore because they didn't come to Aus. I loved the Spice Girls in the 90's, but I am OBSESSED with GA and I think they have better quality songs, but the Spice Girls were still good.



    87. 87

      Re: The Mancunian Candidate – LOL nice one.

      Youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
