KIMBERLEY, Nadine, Sarah, Nicola and Cheryl make it to their fifth studio album, which means they’re middle-aged in girl band terms.

They’ll be presenting Loose Women before you know it.

Not that they’re showing signs of needing to get the HRT patches out just yet.

Out Of Control sees their producers Xenomania give them yet another batch of bulletproof ultra-modern pop songs that even Daniel O’Donnell could sing and make cool.

And when they’re going back to 80s pop in Untouchable, it sounds like they’re disturbingly erotic aliens from the future. OK, maybe that’s just us.

Either way, the lovely Pet Shop Boys-penned ballad Loving Kind is as sweet as the girls’ old hit Love Comes Quickly, and only Nadine Coyle’s attempts at rapping on Revolution In The Head are a disaster. (Remember Madonna’s hip-hop burst about Mini Coopers on American Life? That bad.)

New girl band The Saturdays recently made a solid start for rivalling Girls Aloud with their album—but this is as perfect as manufactured pop gets, and will have you dancing seven days a week.

Trisha - this is not what the article is about. Get over it seriously. Girls Aloud are a huge success and they have amazing albums.

It make me laugh the way she's goes on about boyzone & Westlife to Louis. Both bands have more talent in their little finger than Girls Aloud.
