小简介继 Spice Girls 之后 成绩最为耀眼的英国新生代女子团体
虽然全球偶像团体无时无刻都在制造,以欧美国家来看,英国可算是偶像团体制造大本营!除了演变为全球偶像热潮的“Pop Idol”在内,另外一组残酷大考验的偶像决胜节目“Popstars:The Rivals”,为了最后能够幸运推出专辑,参赛者无不卯足劲使出拿手绝活,盼有出线机会!然而就在同一天,他们创造出两组团体,一组名为“One True Voice”男孩团,一组名为“Girls Aloud” 女孩团,虽然都获得灌录单曲的机会,但是,必须要看谁的销售与排行成绩较佳,才可以赢得最后胜利,跟唱片公司签约推出专辑(跟日本的偶像选拔赛相似),最后选择在圣诞节的超级竞争时节发行,结果呛女生合唱团拔得头筹获得冠军,并且在竞争相当激烈的英国排行榜中一连稳坐4周冠军,发片三个月仍在Top20中徘徊不地,销售量更以两倍的速度远超过预期的领先男生团体,也是英国继辣妹合唱团之后,成绩最为耀眼的新生代女子团体!单凭一支单曲"Sound Of The Underground",便能创下如此惊人的奇迹,确实让呛女生合唱团一夕成名,也证明出女孩们能歌善舞的优异表现!
由Cheryl Tweedy、Kimberley Walsh、Nadine Coyle、Nicola Roberts、Sarah Harding 五位才艺美少女所组成的呛女生合唱团,在2003年各界瞩目下推出首张专辑‘Sound Of The Underground’!冲入全英专辑榜亚军,同时推出的单曲"No Good Advice"也入座单曲榜亚军位置!
呛女生合唱团虽然走流行路线,又是以偶像选拔节目起家,但是,精采融合各样流行元素把玩一块,在强烈动感的节奏铺陈下,透出阵阵令人耳目一新的呛声节拍!同年底的爱情文艺大片“Love Actually/爱是您爱是我”,片中深受乐迷喜爱翻唱Pointer Sister在1983年登上全美亚军的经典之作"Jump",就是交由呛女生合唱团重新热闹诠释,相隔20年后仍争气的空降全英金榜亚军!
别以为漂亮的美妹就只会骚首弄姿跳着既定舞步,呛女生要让你耳目一新的台湾区人气最旺的公共论坛体会女子乐团更多面向的散发青春热力!
by Andy KellmanDespite their fabricated formation through a television program called Popstars: The Rivals, Girls Aloud achieved both mainstream success and widespread critical acclaim in their native England. Through Popstars' process of elimination, Girls Aloud's membership amounted to Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, Cheryl Tweedy, and Kimberley Walsh. The group took shape in November 2002, and soon began a streak of Top Ten singles that broke a record for girl groups and remained unbroken through the end of 2006, when the compilation The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits was issued. Their first three proper albums -- 2003's Sound of the Underground, 2004's What Will the Neighbors Say?, and 2005's Chemistry -- were similarly successful, though the latter stalled at number 11 on the album chart.
