The niece releases one of the best albums of the year, gives us flawless and simple videos, and looks amazing while doing it all. The critics loved it, so why is Nicola flopping? Is it the whole Girls Aloud thing? Discuss.
The other one was put in ahead of a black girl who would wind up involved in a cheating scandal.
In terms of today's popularity, I'd place Nicola at a third. She got her album into the top twenty, which the Irish one didn't. But she's certainly not as beloved as Cheryl, or as liked as Kimberley. That bit her in the butt.
And I do think Radio 1 has a vendetta against her.
I love Nicola by the way, and obviously she's more talented.
But Johnny wanted an answer. The main one? Only one star comes from any group. Cheryl got there first.
This is unfortunately true, like when Simon Webbe beat out Lee Ryan (though I'm not complaining about that). Hopefully she'll find success somewhere else/later. For now, I'm just glad she's getting the critical praise she deserves.
