Girl Alone

I HEAR there's Something Kinda Oooh-p with NADINE COYLE as she gets the silent treatment from the rest of Girls Aloud.

I can reveal tensions between Britain's biggest girl band are getting Out Of Control because songbird Nadine spends too much time away from pals CHERYL, NICOLA, KIMBERLEY and SARAH.

Things have got so bad Nadine, 23, has now been told: "Commit or quit."

Tensions boiled over this week as the band filmed their ITV Christmas special.

My source backstage said: "There was an icy atmosphere and the others didn't speak to Nadine.

"She was the first to get ready and had to wait ages for the girls, who were having a giggle with each other. Nadine ended up chatting to the dancers to pass the time."

In public the girls insist they're the best of friends, but Nadine hardly sees the others. She now lives in Los Angeles-and is dating New York Giants football star JASON BELL- whereas the others are based here.

A close friend of Kimberley, who used to be Nadine's best pal, told me: "The other four can't stand her these days because they feel her heart isn't in the band. Cheryl and Kimberley are now best friends, which Nadine has found quite hurtful.

"She's become very distant and seems to resent the time she has to spend in London away from her new base in LA. Getting her to show up for things can be very difficult.

"The girls have always rowed, but this is the first time there's been such a big split between one member and everyone else."

null

Rumours that Nadine may launch a solo career in the US haven't helped either.

The pal added: "Nadine is an amazing singer. She feels as if she's been held back from proving how great she is." The trouble started when Nadine's ex JESSE METCALFE asked her to move to LA.

The leggy star now feels forced to make a decision on her future. My source went on: "She feels the band are pressing her to quit but she wants to be in control of her future."

A pal of Nadine blamed the situation on her tiredness. "She's under a lot of pressure. The travelling is taking its toll. She did get upset at the filming of the TV show."

The trouble is that the chicks in the band cannot get over the fact that Nadine has her own mind and goals. Cheryl does too but she is nowhere as good of a singer as Nadine is. it is down to pure jealousy. Cheryl should be grateful Nadine is not trying to steal her limelight in the UK. The whole band could as well appreciate Nadine is still a part of them. Yes, she can be replaced by someone else but no one has such a personality as Nadine does. Cheryl, at least, feels threatened by Nadine, thou she choses to get out of that chav hypocrite's way. You go Nadine...!!!

So either Nadine isn't around often enough pulling her weight and/or being isolated by the others.

Both are bad.

By Robert Atkinson. Posted December 16 2008 at 7:33 PM.

the people who are against nadine leaving or having "other plans" are just so narrow minded. The poor girl has carried the others for 6 years now and made them what they are. if she wants a break now so what? people do move on you know. as for the people who are saying she should have thought about this 6 years ago...get a life,who do you know in the real world that stays in the same job for years and doesn't want a change. these comments are obviously made by people who don't work. idiots

By terrybor. Posted December 15 2008 at 7:28 PM.

Nadine is the best memeber of GA by far.......it would be a shame for her to go but she would do well on her own, they already love her in LA and who knows she could become the next member of the tomcat/Becks clan?????

By Lori. Posted December 14 2008 at 10:04 AM.

Nadine is the best singer in the group followed by Sarah,NICOLA and KIMBERLEY. Lets not fool ourselves, Cheryl CANNOT SING!!! look at her preformance on the X-factor?

If Nadine does leave I hope she has a successful carer.

By Sophie. Posted December 13 2008 at 12:26 PM.

I find some of these comments very distrurbing! First and foremost Nadine is a young girl being harrassed while trying to do her job!!! I cannot imagine how anyone could go to work and keep smiling while being BULLIED by everyone else around her!

It is simply JEALOUSY! Nadine seems the most down to earth in the band, she looks the BEST and by far SINGS the BEST!

Secondly, what the hell is Cheryl Cole doing judging a TALENT competition!!! She looks well and dances well but this competition is for SINGING! Definitely one thing Cheryl CANNOT DO! Can someone please explain!

While Nadine is being PUSHED out amid accusations that she'll leave to go on to bigger and better things, the girls are damaging their own careers! It's LAUGHABLE! And yet they blame Nadine!
Nad is always being picked on! Her weight, her accent and shockingly enough her nationality too!

COMMIT or QUIT! (Nadine think about it) this is being said since the beginning of Girls Aloud! Unlike Cheryl you have not taken on new commitments but stayed dedicated to your BAND, six years later you are still there battling on and giving the public your best! Looks like everyone else as hidden agendas and they want to use YOU as the cause of the band breaking up!
Nadine you have carried them for six years and this is the thanks you get! Start thinking about yourself! DONT CARRY THEM ANY LONGER!

P.S If you leave before the tour let me know cos I will want a refund - I will never pay to support BULLIES x

By angel. Posted December 11 2008 at 9:31 PM.

Think of the possibilites for the other four. They can do an X Factor stylee show to find a replacement! :o)

By Ali. Posted December 11 2008 at 4:46 PM.

dear god some people need to just chill

like seriously you dnt even no any of the band members so i dnt really think u can truely give a valid opinion on the whole situation

cuz u dnt actually no anything about any of them

By jess. Posted December 10 2008 at 10:29 PM.

Oh just let her go she wont be missed she wants wants wants and gets all i was the one who was going on about the poppy and as another few comments agree with me let her go to the usa and stay there she wants to be a big star she forgets where she came from

By laura. Posted December 9 2008 at 12:29 AM.

i think nadine shouldnt leave because if she gos girls aloud wont ever be girls aloud again nadine should stay and they should all make up and nadine should of thort about all this befor she went in to girls aloud but i hope girls aloud stay to gethere they have got to far to split up now and girls aloud want be the same if anyone of girls aloud left i just hope nadine dont leave and i hope she gives girls aloud more time and i am a really good fan of girls aloud and if nadine leaves i still will be a fan but girls aloud just want be the same so nadine dont leave and spend more time with girls aloud just stay togethere and be good mates again please dont leave love girls aloud

By daniel. Posted December 8 2008 at 4:21 PM.

I find the comment about the 'poppy' quite distasteful & ignorant. She should have the right to choose whether or not to wear it & it's none of anybody else's business.

By shadylady. Posted December 8 2008 at 11:53 AM.

Aw POOR NADINE (not!!) shes always been a manipulative little madam ever since that irish popstars business. Louis manipulated her into girls aloud and she has had one eye on a solo career ever since. She does howeve have one major problem - I wish she could learn to speak properly coz she sounds like a navvy

By Caz. Posted December 8 2008 at 11:43 AM.

Nadine is by far the most beautiful and talented. She gets lost in the shuffle because everyone falls at Cheryl Cole's feet. And why? Because her husband cheated on her and she cries all the time on the X Factor, that's why. Nadine should come to the US. We'll appreciate her over here.

By Lisa. Posted December 8 2008 at 2:51 AM.

Nadine is so full of herself she always wanted things her way the other 4 will be better of without her she forgets that she came from Londonderry in Northern Ireland I live in Northern Ireland but my gosh that voice when she talks is like a farmer .Sure she even got a tricolour on the album cover cause there was a union jack on it and did not even wear a poppy take a leaf out of eoigan the lad from the x factors book Nadine

By laura. Posted December 8 2008 at 1:55 AM.

Im so glad that the truth of the story has come out of what has always been happening with poor nadine coyle.
Ive been a devoted fan of nadines since we first met. She is the nicest most dedicated to all her fans of any popstar ive ever met.
IM HORRIFIED that cheryl kimberley nicloa and sarah are BULLYING nadine.
I ve always noticed the girls being jealous of nadine, shes clearly the best singer and has the potential do do whatever she wants.
She has shown me that that can happen.
I was in the audience for the christmas party and she was mind blowing!
All girls completly ignored her all day and she was so sweet and gracious with everyone.
Nadine please dont let silly childish games get you down,
Your amazing and an inspiration.

By conor. Posted December 8 2008 at 12:46 AM.

I love girls aloud and nadine along with nicola is a strong vocalist. we love girls aloud for being british and weve all got to know their difrent accents and personalaties. Even though Nadine is a good singer she should commit or quit as im sure the Band could survive without her. Remember how big the spice girls were in the 1990s? and remember how third rate they were as solo artists. If i were you Nadine id stick it out. Girls aloud are great.

i love cheryl tweedy-cole mvf

By mike. Posted December 7 2008 at 9:50 PM.

every1 has their own say.... and no, u shouldn't let any1 hold u back from achieving ur goals but nadine shoulda thought of that b4 "committing" herself into a GROUP shouldn't she have?????? they're a band and she jst doesn't respect the other girls enough to turn up 2 every interview or show.... that is ignorance, arrogance and nasty on the other girls. it woz nadine who said 2 go part time, that would've worked perfect but no, that ain't good enough 4 the diva!!!!!! cheryl has other commitments and still makes sure girls aloud cum 1st!!! nicola has launched her own make-up line and still puts the band top of her list!!!! no1 should leave, but i agree with the 'commit or quit', the day she got into popstars the rivals live shows she should've had a long think about wot she wanted in the long run.... she's bein very selfish and unfair, all the other girls hav other things goin on, wanting 2 start a family etc but they ain't jst goin and gettin on with out without thinkin of 'THE BAND' thats commitment

By jade. Posted December 7 2008 at 7:27 PM.

they cant sing anyway so what does it matter if she goes, she'only looking out for herself and good luck to her. At least she's not like Cheryl who vowed that if her husband ever cheated she would leave him but didn't. Cheryl is the to the worse one in the group.

By Chelsea. Posted December 7 2008 at 7:23 PM.

As for Nadine not wearing the poppy everyone has a history. Northern Ireland is a country full of politiical tensions with a history steeped in bitterness. If you understood this you could not make such an ignorant comment as to why Nadine would not wear the poppy. The poppy has several connotations to everyone in Northern Ireland and sometimes you have to stand up for which ever one you believe in. Nadine is a fantastic singer and is just doing her own thing like the others in girls aloud so why should she be made to feel quilty about that. At the end of the day you should never let anyone hold you back from achieving your own goals.

By Ashley. Posted December 7 2008 at 6:27 PM.

If it's true - well, people move on with their lives every day. They go away to Uni, get married, emigrate, find new jobs, divorce......Nadine has a life in the USA now - so what? If thats her next step then they should let her go with their blessing, wish her well

They can replace her can they not?

By Ali. Posted December 7 2008 at 6:36 PM.

who do they think they are why dont they support her that cheryl wants to remember where she came from what a bunch of cows they are if the rest of them could sing and look as good as nadine they would be ok whats wrong with them is it because she has a life so she wants time with her boyfriend she may beable to keep in his own bed good luck to you nadine go for it

By christine. Posted December 7 2008 at 5:20 PM.

Let her go if she wants girls.... you's can carry on without her. i personally think she thinks way 2 highly of herself, she's like a proper diva and needs 2 get a personality transplant!!! why people always pick on cheryl i dont know, she's got the world at her feet, a SUPERB career, she's down 2 earth and doesn't 4get her roots, she's extremely pretty, so its clearly jealousy and i think nadine is probably the only member who hates the fact cheryl's career is at such a high!!!! im a massive GA fan but honestly dont and haven't really taken 2 nadine. i hope she doesn't actually leave but it wouldn't b a massive deal, they would still rock!!!!

By GA rock. Posted December 7 2008 at 5:10 PM.

I,m not surprised. Nadine is the one who refused to wear a poppy for Rememberance day. Theres nothing wrong with being an Irish nationalist but, she was born in the UK at UK taxpayers expense.
She was educated in the UK at UK taxpayers expense.
She sings with an all UK girl band and has become rich and famous with a lot of money from UK tax payers (among others)
But she lacks the common courtesy to honour UK traditions and (if this story is true) she won,t mix with the rest of the band. I,m willing to bet that she is one of the eternally "offended" Irish but irony goes right over her head.

By Sam. Posted December 7 2008 at 5:24 PM.

why are u saying everyone blames cheryl cole?
everyone always defends her... that's more like it :/
i personally think if nadine leaves, the band is ruined.. it's obvious they they are not all amazing, nadine sings far better than any of the other four girls, and i believe she doesn't have the chance to shine in the band, and i would love to hear her singing solo. i love girls aloud and i didn't want them to break up, but everyone can see nadine is not happy with the girls and that should be her first priority!

By Victoria. Posted December 7 2008 at 5:22 PM.

The other four are doing themselves, because they know that Nadine has the best voice and if she decides to leave they will be absolute crap. Not that they are that great anyway.

Nadine, you think of your own future and do what you think is best, do not let anyone hold you back.

You go girl.... and the best of luck.

By Bonnieb. Posted December 7 2008 at 3:46 PM.

Nadine cant leave the band!!! And its NOT because the other girls wont do a good job without her because they're all amazing!! And what is it with everyone and hating Cheryl Cole! She ISN'T useless she kind, bubbly. There isnt a best singer in the band. But that doesnt mean that you can go around slagging off Cheryl. I hate it when people slag her off! Cheryl is my idol, and I hate it when people don't give her enough credit! Mostly I think that people are just jelous because off Cheryls gorgeousness, but nevertheless, Nadine has been put under alot of strain by being told that she needs to "COMMIT or QUIT" that is out of order but don't go saying they shud brake up thats just crazy! They have come SO far! They shudnt just throw that away! No matter what people think! Girls Aloud are the best girl band ever! They cant brake-up! They're all incredibly talented girls! I really dont understand why Cheryl gets the blame for everything that goes wrong in the band?! It really annoys me that she gets the blame for everything! I think it was pathetic for Cheryl to get the blame for that hole thing with Dannii. But when the press hear that someone from Girls Aloud have been slagging off Dannii, they automaticly presume that its Cheryl! It's stupid, I say to Cheryl that she shud keep her head held high and not to listen to any of the crap that people are making up about u! I think shes amazing! KEEP ROCKING ON CHERYL! WOOP WOOP!!! I cant say how much I admire Chreyl Cole!


By Natalie.B. Posted December 7 2008 at 3:04 PM.

Who really cares less!

By caz. Posted December 7 2008 at 3:00 PM.

Hahaha!! this story proves what i have been saying for years!! Nadine was only ever out for what she could gt from GA. She and Louis Walsh have been plotting a solo career ever since she got kicked out of the irish popstars band for being underage. Louis even says as much in an interview today with a rival sunday mag!!!
Kick her out asap!

By Carole. Posted December 7 2008 at 2:41 PM.

every1 needs 2 chill out. if any of u were true girls aloud fans you's would all know that this story is more than likely alot of bull!!!!! and as for her being the most "talented" well i think its a band she's in.... which means they're all equally talented.... if she woz that great she would've made it on her own!!!!!! and can you's maybe move on from cheryl's marriage troubled PAST... she has, she's happy and she's also a GREAT judge on the xfactor 4 ur information.... think thats why alex is still there and may win..... thank you and goodnight!!!!!!! :-)

By jade. Posted December 7 2008 at 2:34 PM.

Excuse me if i'm wrong but Robbie Williams went on to make more money than the rest of Take That put together......he didnt need to make a comeback and doesnt even work these days after his multi million pound record deals!!!!!
Anyway who cares if girls aloud split up?!! if they do i hope Nadine takes cole to LA with her cause she makes me want to stick rusty nails in my eyes rather than watch her disgusting skeleton body

By burger. Posted December 7 2008 at 12:31 PM.

nadine remember wot happened to robbie williams - he thought he was better than the rest of the band - u all need each other - and yes all five girls are winners and work extremely hard not many band members make it on there own think about it girls your georgous altogether and we think youve got a great friendship its just people jeoulsy and trying to stirr trouble - whoever u are get over yourself - u go girls your doing fantistic and cheryl - let the critics see if they can work as hard as u and be as succussful - keep up the good work the public love you all

By febe. Posted December 7 2008 at 8:43 AM.

I personallly cannot wait for Nadine to launch a solo career she definitely is the 'singer' in the band,
although much credit is due to Sarah's vocals on Girls Aloud's recent single 'Promise'.
Nadine is the band member who has been the vocal force behind the majority of their songs and hence success!

By Lyn. Posted December 7 2008 at 7:59 AM.

Cheryl is not talent less, she is the best one in the band!! What do u no??
Most of the girls already do solo stuff, Sarah is taking up acting, Cheryl is a BRILLIANT judge on the X factor and Nadine has her businesses. Nadine is not the strongest singer in the band, there is no clear lead singer in my mind as they all have proved that they can sing, as they all, not just nadine, won a talent show.
Even though the others do solo things they all are in London and all turn up to evens that are expected too, except Nadine who is always in LA. The Brit Awards is a example, where was she then?? She should decides what she wants, im my eyes she is being selfish by not letting the other girls no what is going on with her. Im sure cheryl told the girls about the xfactor before she even told ashley. It is wrong to force her to quit but it is obvious that her loyalties lie else where....

By Lauren. Posted December 7 2008 at 6:46 AM.

nadine is the best singer in the group and the most grown up .shes smart and gone to the usa.nadine your voice ,looks and you are great dont let your band mates play the guilt trip game on you.live your life 4 you girlfriend.

By a pires. Posted December 7 2008 at 2:06 AM.

Awh. I love Nadine too!! Good to see others showing support for her above^^. I love GA, but the person is right in the article Nadine has been held back and the British public don't know how good of a singer she is. She could rival Winehouse and Mariah in terms of singing ability. She went to a Grammar school, she's got a good personality, she's talented and good-looking. What's stopping her?

By Nat. Posted December 7 2008 at 1:28 AM.

how dare they treat her so badly, what bitches,
if they force her to quit, i'd like my ticket money refunded, her singing has contributed to making them as successful as they have become, what goes around comes around though.

By A. Latham. Posted December 7 2008 at 1:00 AM.

your right to the message above...I bet girls aloud had to fit round cheryl when she was a (useless) judge on x factor. why cant the same alowances be made for nadine?

By ally. Posted December 7 2008 at 12:07 AM.

I like Nadine, she's the most talented member and doesn't rely entirely on Girls Aloud to secure her future- she moved to LA with her family and has set up a few family businesses from scratch. She seems like a smart girl and just because she doesn't feel the need to always be with the girls it doesn't mean she doesn't want to be in the band. Also, quite frankly, If Nadine does want to have a solo career thats her prerogative. If talentless Cheryl cole can carve out a solo career from her marital problems to become an unqualified X-factor judge, then surely Nadine who is genuinely talented should have the same opportunity to do so.
