The most amazing thing about being a girls aloud fan was watching Nicola blossom from this shy insecure girl who was always in the corner barely having any lines into the powerhouse performer belter with a gorgeous range and breathtaking stage presence she was in the last 2 albums.
Nicola's voice is so innocent, warm, sweet, soulful, sultry and sassy at the same time, it sucks how she didn't get as many lines as Nadie when she could easily carry the songs and had the vocals and more range to do it so
I've heard she became the best singer throughout the years, we know Nadines voice is strong, but a vocal coach ranked her as the one who showed lots of advances and diversity in her range.
I think Nadine was the best for my tastes and somewhat objectively. Nicola has a really pretty voice though, but she wasn’t as consistent. I mean, Nadine’s video is twice as long as everyone else’s. But, again, it’s down to tastes.
Nadine was better at the start of GA. There was no doubt. Nicolas voice was stunning but not confident yet. Nadines voice deteriorated over the years probably from bad vocal technique. Nicola shines now.
Being from the US I had very little exposure to GA. Nicolas solo album was the first album that I ever listened to in its entirety from the group period. I loved it so much and I’m shocked she didn’t have more leads or a more successful solo. She’s amazing
I've literally witnessed her go from the shy member of the group to the powerhouse vocalist who ended up singing (by far) the most on their songs, I'd wager among all 5 members Nicola easily claimed 50% of the line distrubition on Beautiful Cos' You Love Me and maybe about 35%-40% on On The Metro... That is goddamn character development
I wonder if they ever did new music if she might have the majority of the lead, from the recent tour her voice is the best in the group by far now in my opinion!
Honestly, I started infatuated with Cheryl (she had the marketing from the beginning on the US side of the pond), but the more I watched GA, Nicola just melted my heart & ensnared my soul ... being ginger also helped ❤ but I think you missed a few lines that were sung by Nicola ... like "What will the neighbors say?" from "Love Machine" ...
