Who's going to leave Girls Aloud?

[[james]]

There's always one who has to ruin it.

Within the next year chances are someone's going to leave Girls Aloud but which one do you think is going to leave the Greatest Girl Band Ever* first, thereby becoming the New Geri?

I used to think Sarah would as she seemed so much classier than the others and never seemed to fit in (possibly as she was blonde) but now I reckon Nadine will leave for a job shelfstacking in Aldi a Hollywood career with Jesse 'I'm not 30, honest' Metcalfe.

[Nurse Dunkley]

Perhaps I'm a blinded fan but I really don't see one member leaving, and think it will be "all or nothing". Nicola and Kimber would never want to leave in a month on sundays though.

There's a Greatest Hits scheduled (on Play.com) for the end of October, so perhaps their time is up anyway.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

They've said they're recording another album at the end of the year to come out next summer I think.

I'm with Nurse Dunkley - I think it'll be a five-way split rather than one person leaving. I like to credit them all with enough sense to realise that none of them will have a solo career afterwards.

Is Kimberly really Mercedes' sister or is that just a rumour because they look so alike?

No, it's true. Hence the 'hilarity' of the McQueen clan doing Girls Aloud songs last week.

[Rooneyboy]

I think Sarah, don't know why. Just do.

Tough call between Cheryl and Nadine. Having seen the mighty 'Girls Aloud - Off The Record' Nadine seems proper flaky and not terribly committed to the band. However I can't see Cheryl wanting to continue once she getting sprogged up and Ashley Cole must be dying to make that happen in a desperate bid to make everyone forget that they hate him for being such a greedy, whinging tosser.

[Nurse Dunkley]

It would put an end to the "Tweedy takes it up the arse" chants too. Or at least show she's versatile.

I think Cheryl sees herself as the New Posh and will be off first. Also, she came over as permantently pissed-off on GA Off The Record. All the others were lovely and she just bitched the whole time.

Sarah is in a film!

If her bit doesn't get cut, maybe she'll be the first to go

I don't. And it won't just be a solo singing career they'll be going for either. They'll be desperately clamouring for TV and magazine spots faster than Big Brother contestants in September, except possibly for Nicola who surely must realise if no-one really noticed her in the group they're not going to notice her out of it.

But Cheryl is going to going to become very annoying very quickly. Or should that be even more annoying even quicker.

Oooh - saw the new video the other day. It is wank and they have made the heavenly Kimberley look horrible. Anyway, at the end they all drive off in cars against a CGI background. There are three cars so there are two pairs and then Cheryl is in a car alone. I think this may be a portent of things to come....

[schmindie]

It'll be Cheryl I reckon, if only to start up a clothing business (aren't all WAGS part-time designers inbetween their photoshoots and singing/modelling careers?) when she's not squeezing out bambinos.

Adverts for a Best Of - the end is nigh!

Bought my copy of the Girls' Greatest Hits on Tuesday. I read through the 'thank- yous' at the back of the CD sleeve to see if there were any hints about who might be leaving first.

I don't think it will be Sarah, she seems the most affectionate about all of the others. Nadine may be edging out Cheryl as she not only thanks her boyfriend (she doesn't name him but then that doesn't surprise me, she does seem to be the stupidest Girl Aloud and she probably can't remember what it is. She, like the rest of us, probably just thinks of him as 'that gardiner off Desperate Housewives') but thanks him in the same sentence as thanking her family. That suggests it may be getting very serious (which I feel on Nadine's part is, as my nan would, rather fast. They've not been together that long!)

[[james]]

My money's on Sarah based purely on the fact she seems affectionate about the others. It's clearly masking deep deep hatred for the other four, maybe because they don't look like a blonde giraffe. Maybe not.

In spite of this, she's still my joint favourite GAer.

Nadine

[thelovelykate]

Right, I take back all of speculation about Cheryl - it will totally be Nadine. Photos in The Sun today of Kimberley's birthday night out. All of the Girls are are there except Nadine. Even Keisha Sugababe could be bothered to turn up but NO NADINE.

[Lisa]

Nadine's been in the magazines for her rumoured split with the gardener with big eyebrows - she'll probably dump the band to head for the US to try and make her relationship work and start a pop duo with Jodi I now make guest appearances in Hollyoaks Albert.
