Bring it back to the other side

@omp9

I have always wondered why Girls Aloud wasn't more popular. Their music was awesome and the girls was incredible good looking.

@randybanks1504

omp9 they was popular in the UK

@katieatwellx

omp9 they were really popular in the UK

@ZZLOST

They were well known in Hungary as well, but the Sugababes were the favorites of the Hungarians.

@serenaistheb.o.a.t

They were know around the world, but they were criminally underrated. Billboard actually called them the most underrated band in music history.

@randybanks1504

Serena is the G.O.A.T where? Because America doesn't know a girls aloud

Your generation, like a bunch of monotone autotuned voices set to a generic pop beat?

@bobfanny4202
