Girls Aloud - The Promise - Royal Variety Show 2012

[@jpptubie]

Today is a very sad day. RIP Sarah, you’ll be remembered as the extrovert in Girls Aloud who brought so much happiness and joy to many. Thoughts with Sarah’s family, her friends, Nadine, Cheryl, Nicola and Kimberley and all fans. 😢

[@mariawindham-wright9730]

So so sad. God love her xxxxx

RIP Sarah

Love this song

I shed a tear, taken away just too young.

I looked forward to a 20 year anniversary 😥 Poor Sarah. Rest in Peace angel❤

[@mitchking1771]

This is probably one of the best live performances iv'e seen from GA

[@TIGERDO100]

That's a joke right? Watch closer if you weren't. No way was that live, they were miming it

[@matthewlavery6902]

TIGERDO100 bitch you’re delusional, they’re clearly singing live

[@pheejl7534]

Yah better than the one they did on x-factor... but nowadays it’s hard to tell if they are lips synching or not unless we see/hear them talking during their time on stage so we know the mics are live/hot.

[@nathansmith1503]

TIGERDO100 you can tell it’s not lip syncd because at the start Cheryl is a bit shaky but she improves and when Sarah does one of her runs it just doesn’t sound good. Both of those would’ve been fixed if it was pre recorded

Nadine is THE VOICE! Love that woman!

[@Mmm1222_]

I love Nadine, too. And I think she's gorgeous.

[@jpptubie]

Nadine is one of the most pleasant people you could ever wish to meet; I've met her a few times and she's so friendly, and her voice.....

[@laurenholmes5746]

jpptubie Really? Claiming there was ‘never’ a ‘friendship’ between the girls? Seems nasty to me :/ Really would love to have liked her though....

[@skad5971]

@@laurenholmes5746 No at ALL. She is just saying the truth. Kim, Cheryl and Nicola didn't like her because she was the best singer. Sarah was the only one that truly respect and see Nadine as a friend. Period.

[@laurenholmes5746]

Poison Ivy I think she’s just trying to get publicity after her flopped solo career trying to drag to rest of the girls into it, INCLUDING Sarah. She was the best singer but there is no need to say what she said.

Rest in Peace the incredible talent and personality that was Sarah Harding. She always gave us memorable lines in the group's songs, and her vocals were so underrated with that rock edge that she had.

[@jpptubie]

This is and has always been one of my favourite Girls Aloud songs and performances. Everyone, please enjoy.

[@JoshEssex123]

jpptubie I can't believe I've never seen this performance before. Kimberley sounded quite shocking on the X Factor live version. I remember watching that one live. Promise and Life Got Cold are my favourites but these girls rarely released a poor song. They were all great tracks and big hits.

[@garrywilkes1311]

The Spice Girls were good but Girls Aloud took it to another level. This performance should go down in music history.

[@amandawilson7412]

Such a stunning performance from the beautiful ladies Nadine is so beautiful

Nadine is lovely to talk to as well; your heart ♥️ will melt if you ever get the opportunity, as mine has.

Girls Aloud roles: Nadine: Lead mostly, power vocals Sarah: Energy, Loud, Projection Nicola: Harmonies, Fillers, Lyrical Kimberley: Bridges, Soft vocals Cheryl: Dancer, Slow songs, Rapping, upbeat I love them all for these

[@FirstLast-qj4eh]

I agree

[@bacchusaurelius]

Nice analysis! I often just think Nadine is the only real singer, but it is a group and they have their niches/roles.

[@melanymarinho5344]

SARAH VOCAL POWERFUL 👏👏👏👏

[@jonathanlandau-litewski7405]

​@@bacchusaureliusNicola is a much better singer than she gets credit for. I've noticed that the only people that praise her are her die-hard fans. She was slept on during the earlier days of GA. I loved her from the second she appeared on Popstars The Rivals. I remember meeting the before going into one of their What Would The Neighbours Say? concerts. Nicola and Cheryl were so nice and chatty with me, don't even know how many the 3 of us hugged each other during that meeting. Nadine and Kimberly were lovely too. Sarah was rude af and just walked away,

[@gadger99]

I agree, this is probably my favourite recording of the Girls.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

Keep this in mind, when they performed the song on X-Factor, the single was released only after 3 days. On the Royal Variety show they were basically in "cruise control mode" which they had a couple years of practice for the song. I've seen their Out Of Control tour on BluRay and they sound great!

[@christy2679]

How was 2012 that long ago? It feels like yesterday- this was definitely the best royal variety- not just because of the girls singing, but in terms of the overall variety, the comedy and entertainment was very good and it just felt like the most eventful one- the Queen’s presence really made it feel that more special- you compare the 2012 Royal Variety Show to the 2022 one and and there’s no comparison at all
