base talk Do you miss these UK hitmakers?

[DuffLavigne]

Thinking about many popstars from the UK who served hit after hit for 2-3 eras but then slowly faded away or never experienced the same level of success again... Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and Dua Lipa are some of the exceptions maybe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glad to hear that Cheryl is returning for the Girls Aloud comeback!

She was giving Australian vibes.

[sunbathinganimal]

Pixie was giving absolutely nothing but the others yes

[sunbathinganimal]

the Leona Avicii drama was so iconic

I've had Alexandra Burke's music on repeat the last couple of days she was done so dirty

Her unsuccessfully trying to match Xtina vocals was such a kii  Mercury set her up

[glitch]

Never really rated Cheryl much honestly, but Pixie, Leona and Alexandra Burke were all queens. It's funny that Natasha was bigger in the US than the UK despite being British. Pocketful of Sunshine didn't even chart in the UK 

[krammykins]

they did these girls so dirty...

I remember thinking it didn't do that badly since it went top 10 but it only charted for 4 weeks 

 

It's kind of a kii how British pop stars would just stop trying once they started flopping. We needed girlies who were in it for the music as well as the fame

I wouldn't exactly call them exceptions  Ellie had three successful eras and then flopped (not counting Miracle), Rita had two successful eras and her third utterly tanked

[abelfenty]

It’s kind of insane to think that Cheryl was the biggest celebrity in the UK at one point 

[RideOrDie]

cheryl had the best bops out of them all

[lillavend3r]

Fight for This Love being bigger than Girls Aloud's biggest hit she had to show Nadine who was really mother

Adele, Dua and Little Mix (rip) the only ones serving consistency!

[ReachOut]

Leona

 

Cheryl, Pixie, Ella, Alexa Dixon, Lily Allen too many girls that deserved better

I would do anything for one more Cheryl album.

true i guess Adele counts  LM were definitely the dominating force

[Both Sides Now]

Leona produced two excellent albums and two decent ones. It’s a travesty how her career was handled.
