Girls Aloud’s Comeback!
Everyone has been wondering if current girl group Girls Aloud are going to be reuniting as there as been friction between some members and some have them have gone solo however it’s been confirmed they will make a come back next year!

Their Manager Hilary Shaw has said  “Everybody wants them to make a comeback and it will be next year. Well, it is their 10th anniversary so there will be something. They speak all the time, and that includes Cheryl and Nadine [Coyle] with the other girls. Cheryl is keen to get back with the girls and is planning something which could be a one-off or some gigs.”

The band who is made up of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding, were formed in 2002 on the on TV talent show ‘Popstars The Rivals’ and they  have not performed together since they opened for Coldplay at Wembley Stadium in 2009.

As we all know Cheryl has been a busy girl launching a successful solo career, releasing two albums, being a judge on ‘The X Factor’ and she has now been confirmed as a member of the judging panel on the US version of the pop star search show by Simon Cowell.

Earlier this year, Kimberley said it would be tough to get the band together for a reunion because of their hectic schedule. She said: “It’s not down to me. It’s all of us – Cheryl’s busy and Nadine’s not in the country, she’s in America, so it’s difficult.”

Spice Girls Olympic Reunion
Back in 2001 one of the most well known girl bands, The Spice girls, spilt up. They then got back together just for a world tour in 2007. But now Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell) who was the one who left the group in 1998, has said she thinks they should appear together at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games, as it will help put British music back on the map.

She said “The Spice Girls are part of me and always will be. If it happened and felt natural and right, then I’m always open to singing with the other girls.
“Singing at the Games is a great idea and would be an amazing opportunity – and it’s a sign the Brits are back. This is our time. Everything is circular and now there’s a British pop revival.
“It needs to put itself back on the map on a world stage. This is our opportunity to show that British music, which has led and dominated the world, should do, always.”

Some other artists have also been considered to appear including Joss Stone and Muse. Coldplay are said to have been approached to perform an especially written anthem as well called ‘Welcome Song’.

Jessie J
Essex singer Jessie J thinks that some stars are envious of her for being able to just be herself and being brave enough to say whatever she wants. She thinks some are too scared to speak their minds and are too worried about appearing ‘perfect’

She has said: “I say it how it is and I don’t really think before I talk. I sometimes think that’s what everyone else in the industry wishes they could do, but they started out being so perfect that any time they do anything out of the ordinary, people pick up on it.

“I decided that if I just started out being me, no one can ever say I’ve changed.”
She also added: “I don’t ever want to feel guilty about having a bad day. I have to go with my emotions. Sometimes you’re overtired and your mascara doesn’t go on right and you don’t know what to wear and you rip your favourite trousers, and you want to scream and throw something at the wall.
“It’s not that you’re not appreciating your life, it’s just about being a girl.”
