      Yeh but now it's all super technical singers who after a certain point all sound the same, it's not good to actually listen to, just sounds like vocal exercises. Plus they were putting together a group here, they didn't want 5 girls all competing with each other riffing and ad libbing all over the track. They wanted girls who could complement each other vocally, sing in tune and perform good pop songs. I would by far rather listen to Girls Aloud than the warbly shit all today's "technical singers" make.

    Nicola and Cheryl have always been best friends but it was Kimberley and Nadine who were very close too. Their families got really close aswell. I wonder what happened 'cuz now it's Kimberley, Nicola and Cheryl and it was said that there was no falling out as there was no friendship to begin with but back then there was. They both wanted to get into the band together same as Nic and Cheryl.

    This show could almost be a case study in the amount of luck you need to make it big in the music industry.
    Cheryl: Was in the bottom twice. Came very close to being eliminated in the final 7.
    Nadine: If she hadn't been caught lying about her age, she would have stayed with Six (who never entered the charts outside of Ireland and split after 2 years).
    Kimberley: Was first reserve for the final 10 after another contestant was discovered to be over 25. Was in the bottom 3/4 every week.
    Sarah: Was in the bottom 2 in the final week, and was up against Javine who had never been in the bottom before. The phone lines were kept open even as they announced the results - and who knows who would have made it in otherwise?
    Nicola: Was second reserve for the final 10. Got in after another girl (also named Nicola) quit the show. She and Nadine were the only girls to never be in the bottom.
    Not to mention the boy band from the same show completely flopped, and the losers from the final also made their own bands and could have potentially caused another 'Liberty X' situation.

The band was called "Clea". To be real though, I listened to both bands and they were great! Also, rest in peace to Sarah. I can not believe that she died two years ago last month (September 5th, 2021). The girls (obviously) must've been so sad to hear that she passed. I'm also sad about it. She's still alive, but not on earth. She's in heaven.

The biggest irony is that she never got signed to LaFace Records (TLC, Toni Braxton, Usher, & Avril Lavigne).

    these 5 girls were lucky they auditioned when they did, the only two I think that would have got through to bootcamp if it was today's x factor would be Nadine and possibly Nicola. Kimberley and Sarah have mediocre voices and Cheryl's is really weak. She got this far solely on her looks because she was beautiful. All the other girls back then were pretty even with the lank hair and the patchy make up but you can see it back then, she was beautiful. She's so striking, it shines through and that's why she is the most successful because this industry is based on looks and not really on talent. She's a great dancer too to be fair but singing is not her forte.

    With that said, the next point people are making is that if they auditioned for shows today they wouldn't make it through. Probably true, however I've thought about this a lot, and MANY great artists throughout the past would've had problems with the reality shows today.
    I'm sure if Stevie Nicks, Bowie, Jagger, Tom Petty, Prince, Bob Dylan etc were to try out today most of them wouldn't get through the first round.
    So are we actually failing to give a platform to those unique talents because we are such a highly critical society today?

      @ Zoe Dark -- NOT compared to Nadine, Kimberly and Nicola's voices she isn't. Cheryl is a GREAT dancer, and she's got a nice personality and is beautiful. NOT a fantastic singer though.

      I like Nadine ... A lot. but learn one thing because what you discover from your words is that you like Nadine and Cheryl for you does not deserve to be the most followed. These are the wrong people who have been fighting for what they have dreamed and ... the public decides and fell in love with Cheryl, who does sing, and very well, You do not need to have a voice like Kimberley's that excites me or the from Nadine who likes to make giggles so that they also notice her, which she does not need because she sings very well like Cheryl
