Nicola Roberts - Beat Of My Drum

[@kyotv3807]

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

[@victorbarbuto]

kinda sounds like thing things

[@surpriser0se]

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

[@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

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.

she was 6 months pregnant with hyperpop here

Ten Years Before Its Time!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@nemzzzy]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

What choreography? 😂

[@soz81]

No

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.

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

[@chiselmarr1414]

Been obsessed with this since it came out. I remember the week this was uploaded, I watched and listened on repeat

[@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...

[@jessnichols2803]

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

[@LightMeUp95]

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

[@137rtekke7]

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

[@mmagals]

I agree. You have a great taste.

[@violetstar6643]

Who's here because they've been a fan of Nicola since the Girls Aloud days and didn't just discover this Angel's voice after watching her win The Masked Singer?

[@sxippydennison3577]

Still slaps like gargantuan cheeks in ‘24. She legit made the best solo GA album EVER!!

[@cherylbaker4290]

I miss Nicola I wish she would bring out another album

[@youthinkczechhunterisreal2693]

When this song was released it was too ahead of its time. A true BOP. wasn’t appreciated right.

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

[@user-vd9ec2lz5j]

She's so talented. Great fashion sense & song writer & singer & dancer! Love the bit at 2:38-2:40 😂

[@creepyverse2407]

Anybody other than me think that if Lady GaGa or Miley did this same song and video it would have been called groundbreaking and not have so many dislikes? I love Nicola, i hate that she's so slept on tho

[@Terry_Bell]

The dislikes came from the beehive and the madogga fans since they had songs that were compared to this one

The chorus is definitely proof that she is 👑🐝

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

wow. i remember discovering this 10 years ago right after i turned 16 & being obsessed with her. this whole album was on repeat & i loooved her style. didn’t even know about girls aloud beforehand lmao! very ahead of it’s time, in retrospect this is almost like an early version of hyperpop. glad it’s more appreciated nowadays tho! crazy how things change… seriously can’t believe it’s already been a DECADE wtf…time is so insane, especially in the digital age 😭

[@xanderarthur3127]

Lol, why does this song have so many dislikes? This song and others on her album had SO much more depth and witticism than any of the other members of Girls Aloud's other solo efforts. Plus, this is so much more original for someone from a pop background; I mean sampling Major Lazer for a start (better than Beyonce did in Run The World, too), you've gotta give her credit! And to all the 'cool' people saying, 'I'm 13 or whatever and I hate this song'. Does it matter? Maybe you don't appreciate the musical and lyrical substance to her work, but I was 14 when this came out and I'm 17 now and still love this song.
