She was criticized for doing what others would do after her in the next years. Definitely ahead of her time. I wish I could listen to a new album of Nicola. She’s an amazing singer.

[@greksmith1874]

Agreed, Cinderella’s Eyes is a solid album from start to finish and I still listen to it regularly

[@thisisnotme7017]

@@greksmith1874 I hated Beat of my Drum but her album is really good

[@surpriser0se]

This song just randomly popped on my head today. What a beat!

[@nico_yyxy]

she was 6 months pregnant with hyperpop here

[@tccandler]

Ten Years Before Its Time!

[@LegalVampire]

This was ahead of it's time - people weren't ready for minimalist beats like this back then and someone singing in this style with a heavy accent

[@popnotmyface]

This was released in the same year as Azealia Banks broke out with 212, please tell me again Nicola Roberts was ahead of her time lmfao

[@xmagpiex12]

Azealia Banks is also not celebrated enough.

[@maffseds]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@luisg5448]

xmagpiex12 I totally agree Nicola as a solo artist and Azealia Banks are ahead of their time

[@chrisedwards3968]

Sinatra miss kitten

[@juanantoniorosalesmedrano]

How come that the most talented of the "Girls Aloud" bunch was so neglected when she released this heck of an album? It is so unfair. This is pure golden pop, the best. Shame on people for not appreciating this masterpiece. So underrated. The whole album is magnificent, so is she.

[@juanantoniorosalesmedrano]

Oh, really? Then, off you go! What are you doing commenting on this video? Lots of great music to listen and you're wasting your time in something so "atrocious". Bye!

[@jambon6451]

I don't think Nadine was neglected...

[@josmeff8901]

Cos everyone was fawning over Autotune Cheryl.

[@Spudchucker92]

@@josmeff8901Cheryl only used AutoTune because everyone told her that her natural singing voice was crap. And then when she tried to make it sound better was slammed for being a faker. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Seriously what was the girl supposed to do? Nothing she did was ever right apparently.

[@rafaelbbp]

Wow this was my jam in 2011 lol. Still love it tho, different sound and so catchy. Hope she comes back with another critically acclaimed album.

[@JeremyJenner]

Such an underrated bop. The choreography is so on point as well.

[@Dukezy79]

Jeremy Jenner yes that bent over hip pop is bang on

[@MonaichFother]

"on point" Lol

[@susterovic]

What choreography? 😂

[@soz81]

No

[@electroskates2434]

Ya

[@stopstaringatmewtf7651]

The chorus of this song has always remained vividly in my mind. Never knowing the name of the song, only remembering the raw sound of it without being able to fully comprehend any of the lyrics. It's a pretty coo song.

[@137rtekke7]

I really hope she releases a second album, Cinderella's Eyes is a fantastic record

[@mmagals]

I agree. You have a great taste.

[@dtrez09]

This was ahead of its time. It wouldn't get nearly as many dislikes if it was released today

[@Domura]

No, it would. Bad is universal.

[@jjay0307]

exactly! I loved it then and I love it now. I don't follow trends I like music I like not what others like lol

[@LayeredGamer]

+Domura Too bad the critics disagree. This album is one of the most acclaimed female british pop album.

[@ravindrabanchhod1579]

Iggy Azalea completed defiled this song with Mo Bounce.

[@isabels2973]

Yess

[@snsddien]

She was one of the main vocal in Girls Aloud,she is now a very success and talented designer. She is a huge deal but why is she so underrated ?

[@tamirrrrr]

main vocal? did you ever listening GA?

[@Emmypeachy]

i thought that was nadine

[@GabrielCastro-yk1ws]

Main?? idt so

[@snsddien]

Avril Means I do. I know Nicola didnt have much lines in their songs but her voice is just as great as Nadie's

[@snsddien]

Emma Fraser Yes it was Nadie. Nadie had most of the lines but when it comes to singing live. Nicola is just outstanding as well as Nadie

[@erafaelf]

I dont care about the dislikes beucase the song was really well received by critics! It was in a lot of "best songs of 2011" lists! Im so proud of her!! Waiting the new album...

[@pauljones1376]

Great tune shame people didn't smash this tune

[@nemzzzy]

just discovered this gem, love it! imagine if she released this in 2022...

[@johnmccormack4498]

Superhit....no idea why this didn't dominate the charts.

[@jessnichols2803]

Masterpiece. The absolute dark horse of Girls Aloud. I adore this track and this girl. Team Nicola. 🔥

[@ar6045]

The chorus is definitely proof that she is 👑🐝

[@lisaupnorth7696]

Yes, sent her a message on Insta saying I think she's Queen Bee. Kinda thought I was the only who guessed that but I guess if you know that beautiful voice you'd hear it anywhere. X

[@cherylbaker4290]

I miss Nicola I wish she would bring out another album

[@barmo_bm]

this is such a bop, and so ahead of it's time, a niche pop

this should be 1 of the most POPULAR songs on earth! x

[@ryangraham800]

My God, she's STUNNING!

[@poppyyates1250]

i loved this when she first released it , and i still do today . Brilliant , massively underrated in my opinion

[@LightMeUp95]

If she released this last year, it would have been huge. Far too ahead of it's own time, along with the album

[@AlexThaPr0duct]

iconic BOP. ahead of its time. the visuals, the beat, the production, the ALBUM. critically acclaimed queen. im still bopping cinderellas eyes to this day. what a talent

[@deebee9151]

What a banger. The world needs this now.

[@shice8168]

2017 and this song is still my jam! never understood how this got 11K dislikes though ?

[@anonx2747]

Shice she has no charisma

[@dirrty06]

Which hardcore Nicola fans are still here in 2022? She is a wordsmith

[@Ryysight]

Had this come out in 2024 it would have been a smash, she was way too ahead of her time which is a shame because she is the best vocalist from Girls Aloud

[@johnlawrence3888]

Outstanding, everything about this is perfect, 10 years ago and if it sounds so current. Super talented Nicola Robers and luv Girls Aloud

Nah not at all 😆

Best song released by anyone in that group.

[@makipizon]

many people thought Nadine is the only one that could sing in girls aloud but I thought Nicola can sing too even before she won the contest. she might be an awkward red head teenage girl that we all knew but this girl turned into a woman who has pure talent and amazing songwriting skills.

AHEAD OF IT´S TIME.

This was so far ahead of its time. They should re-release it now (2020) and break America.

***** We can all agree that Madonna wanted to copy that in a way she found it "cool" but we allknow she's too old for that

[@madgecopycat2577]

Daniel Alonso I disagree. I think she copied Joao Brasil feat. Lovefoxx- love banana. His lawyers even wanted to sue her.

[@restlessbohemian26]

Daniel Alonso Anyone over 5 is too old for this. Nicola looks just as ridiculous as Madonna did but this is great music for little kids.

This song will always remind me of the day at a dance competition when 4 different dance schools had a team dance to this exact song and near enough had the same moves too!
