Vocal Coach Reacts to Nicola Roberts 'Beat Of My Drum' LIVE 2011

[@germannaranjojimenez8832]

She is so talented and has a very distinctive and unique voice. I just love her. So sad she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

[@whatkatereadnext2680]

I think the sad thing is because her and Nadine didn't court the press and Cheryl was on TV every Saturday they were overshadowed when their solo stuff came out

[@foreverLeighAnne]

Cinderella’s Eyes is still all these years later in my top 5 albums of all time. A masterpiece that received huge acclaim but sadly didn’t perform well. Queen Bee forever!

[@MS-de1hd]

it seriously really well written and produced... and of course sung

[@BreakTheIce222]

Her solo album was by far the best thing any member of Girls Aloud did as part of their solo careers.

[@vilvarajamahendraraja7082]

I LOVE Cheryl and a decent amount of Nadine’s solo stuff (Kim & Sarah didn’t really go the full solo artist route at the end of the day - a covers album doesn’t cut it) but this couldn’t be closer to the truth. I’M FOREVER ANGRY HOW MUCH HER ALBUM DIDN’T GET THE NUMBERS IT DESERVED

[@Lukeovision]

100% agree. Her album is incredible and has stood the test of time. Awesome quirky pop with an experimental element. I feel Nicola stayed so true to the Xenomania girls aloud sound while also giving a huge input to every single track. She knows what the fans want and really showcased her vocals and musical capabilities. Bravo Nicola! and I completely agree with everything you said G! ALSO... WELCOME BACK GIRLBAND THURSDAYS!

[@vilvarajamahendraraja7082]

Thissssss

[@Martdiva1979]

wow what a voice 😍 best vocalists in Girls Aloud her And nadine

[@Whatinthe-Y]

I'm so glad you react to Nicola, one of the most underrated singers who deserves so much more success.

[@DariousM510]

Been a stan of Girls Aloud for about a decade and Nicola's album was coming out just when I got into them. I gave her debut a listen and was immediately blown away by her distinctive vocals and how honest her lyrics were. Cinderella's Eyes remains one of my favorite albums to this day!!!

[@sammurray327]

She was never the weakest. She just wasn't utilized, for whatever reason and it seems they wouldn't let her use her power vocals. I mean, her sweet head voice is just beautiful but clearly she always had more to give. Sarah, Cheryl and Kim were far weaker singers. She really showed her skills when they did covers on tour. Her rendition of What A Feeling was phenomenal not to mention River Deep Mountain High on PSTR.

[@paultopfitness8661]

Loved this song! Still sounds so fresh!!

[@carlos_wrong]

Nicola Roberts we need more of your music. Thanks Honest Vocal Coach!

[@rolandbaldwin]

More Nicola please!! A new album would be amazing. This was years ahead of its time. I remember watching this live at the time and I was blown away. I once read on her social media she didn't have the best relationship with this music. That's a shame because it was brilliance

[@thomaslanfranchi9188]

Nicola was so underrated when she was in the band....and as a solo artist even more...

[@RichardTheBigBunny]

I wasn't even following her career and I loved that performance. I ended up buying the single. All of 'the cool kids' still say her album is the only one worth having from the Girls Aloud lot.

[@kunalroy6848]

I love how this channel helps me discover new super awesome singers.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Happy to hear that!

[@vilvarajamahendraraja7082]

I COULDN’T LOVE COMING ACROSS THIS ANYMORE. Your taste (in all of your videos) & mutual love of Nicola makes my heart smile ❤️

[@Bret121]

Still love this album by Nicola ❤

[@IAmDaniel94]

Cinderella’s Eyes is one of my favourite albums, I think it was ahead of its time when it was released and the fact it still sounds so current 10 years later says a lot! Nicola deserved better success with this, but equally, we deserve solo album number 2! ❤️

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

It is a great album. I still listen to it.

[@perham44]

Cinderellas Eyes is one of the best albums I have (I have over 400). She has an exquisite voice which deserves more recognition. This isn't even the best song on the album. Love it.

[@ucandance87]

Yes, yes, YES!! BOMD was the jam back then and still is today! Nicola’s album was ahead of its time and is hugely underrated. I’m glad to see this performance being featured on here-a real treat!

[@robbeck8661]

i love her so much! need a new album!

[@thomasrowland9948]

I am so glad you did this! She is so underrated and was always my favourite singer from GA! Would love you to do the masked singer performances!

[@gregleeman6209]

2024! And for some reason youtube brought me here and I loved it! Gonna go listen to the Album for the first time

[@itsjvctr]

man i LOVE Nicola, this album is amaaaaazing. I got chills all over my body with the acapella at the begin

[@christianfaundes6008]

Hi from Chile. I love Nicola as well. I got to know her and Girls Aloud when I lived in the UK. Nicola is my favourite girl in the band, alongside Cheryl and Kimberly. I also love Nicola´s album. I do listen to it everyweek at least once. Yeak, you are right. I can't believe why the album wasn't bigger. I hope Girls Aloud come back in the near future and I also hope we can have Nicola with new songs.

[@littlepearlsofrandomness]

I love her album! It was and still is amazing!

[@allenalexander2700]

I LOVE how she opened up this performance!

[@jacknelson8640]

Absolutely love Nicola Roberts

[@Quixotic000]

So underrated!

[@J0RD2K7]

iconic performance! i agree with you, we need new music Nicola !!

[@DanGalla]

STILL SLAPS SO HARD! Love that album!

[@drewbabez7336]

Lol if i had a wig i would throw it 😂 I am going to use that one

[@michaelgray1491]

Completely agree such an underrated albumx

[@Philipp19967]

Nicola and Nadine were both my fav. singers of Girls Aloud. Its sad that these two didnt get the recognition they deserve. Would love to get another album from Nicola and/or Nadine :(

[@rohan3881]

YESSS on the masked singer, harlequin is a tough singer to guess but it’d be cool if you could react to both of her performances so far!! her voice is so unique

[@rosiem4000]

This song was ahead of its time

[@GoodOlAllisonHarvard]

@4:51 I actually think Nicola Roberts was second best vocally in Girls Aloud, especially if you react to her performances at _~16 years old~_ on _“Popstars: The Rivals”!_ Then eventually, once Nicola came into her own, at times she was even _the best._ 😄🙌🏾👄🎶💎🌟✨

[@eduardomendozavargas]

NICOLA IS THE BEST

[@jceccaldi]

that album is so cool and fresh, definitely stands the test of time, for me at least. love the few demos and unreleased tracks floating around on youtube as well, like Nothing and Dating ❤️

[@alexandreenocq4011]

I forgot about her, I loved lucky day ❤️ great performance

[@Jarmix-vq3gn]

Ooh was excited to see this Georgina!! Agree with everything you say, love Nicola too!! So Unique. Really Wished Her Album And Single Was Bigger Though. Such a shame. It's fantastic. Her Voice developed beautifully. Quirky edge 😁. I'm so glad beat of my drum and Lucky day reached the Top 40 though 👍. Love your Girlband stuff!! More again please 😁

[@lonelyhorse5313]

Thank you georgina soo much!!! 💚💚💚 We need more nicola, nadine and girls aloud please! I would've loved to see your reaction to her singing the captives hymn aired on BBC 1 "The national tribute" It was stunningly good and breathtaking

[@salatiellealm]

The only thing I like in Girls Aloud is Nicola, her solo slbum is dope

[@itsjvctr]

i just don't get it why she never released a second album

[@callum2862]

Omg that performance was so good how have I never heard that song before 😩

[@ryanlarter5111]

Nicola really proved here you can sing 100% live and still have choreography, not many artists sing live and dance at the same time (some do but not well) but Nicola is very talented shame she wasnt on the same level as Cheryl as a solo artist

[@jamesdarbyshire203]

Yes Georgina I'm so glad u did this ! U talk pure truth xx

[@MS-de1hd]

Very talented... whilst all the high parts were amazing, what I think its really impressive is when a singer can make themselves heard in those lower parts in pop songs. Lower parts in records are easily heard in records and easily missed "live" version. I love Nicola so much. MORE Music !

[@peteramaranth85]

I bought her album, I loved it all mostly because its her singing. Should hear her on the masked singer she did a great job I new it was her from the get go she has sutch a recognisable singing voice

[@piotrpedzich4437]

I love her!

[@Mr_SeanHill]

Imagine if you did a cover of this song! 💖😩💖 .... just putting it into the universe 💅🏽 x great reaction! ( I was obsessed with this song for ages 😂)

[@MarcosPaulo-vy9et]

she's re-releasing this album

[@memandi2]

"in the beginning, she was one of the weakest" was definitely an exageration, even in your own ranking she was ranked second out of the 5 girls in the beginning, so definitely not one of the weakest. She's definitely improved a lot since, but she was also one of the strongest from the very start.

[@jamiereynolds862]

100% agreed!! Think she was just shy in the early days but that voice was always there! Especially if you go listen to the Chemistry Tour (2006)

[@lonelyhorse5313]

She was very weak till 2007. Even cheryl sang better than her at the 2006 chemistry tour.

[@reissy09]

@@jamiereynolds862 100% agreed I think it was shyness and being in quite a boisterous group🤪 but listening to her sing Beautiful ‘Cause You Love Me live will go down as one of the best vocals I’ve heard live ever

[@reissy09]

@@lonelyhorse5313 she was never weak

[@bernardod6020]

she's just awesome! #teamginge

[@callum2862]

Wow 4th view and first comment? Can you tell I was going through your girls aloud playlist? Ahahahaha

[@eurovisionwithsis-thepower7524]

It's my birthday ❤️🎂🎉

[@_TASK]

It’s her tone...doesn’t really sell the song in my opinion. But def she has control

[@unbourer8069]

Overshadowed by other girls in Girls Aloud just because her voice can't get along with others. Actually she the best one! (Lovely duckling)

[@chjf6866]

No nadine was the best singer. Common knowledge

[@chrisflan257]

@@chjf6866 totally agree. Nicola is a very close second, but nadines voice is much nicer.

[@sammurray327]

Agree. If we'd actually got to hear from Nicola more than a couple of lines in a song, we would have easily seen she was the strongest singer. When she sang What A Feeling on tour she blew them all away.

[@andresjuan8783]

Opera Rock. From Spain please. React to Camilo Sesto: Getsemani ( live 1977 )

[@bartonbagnes4605]

The instrumentation was really weird, I had trouble figuring out which instruments were being used. But the overall song was good. You asked for male singer suggestions yet you haven't featured any yet, even though I have given a few. And here's another one, though he is very different. I don't know his name, I'll look it up. OK. His name is Anthony Vincent. He is a unique artist. Though he has his own singing style he is most famous for copying the styles of ANY artist. For an example watch 10 second songs "Bohemian Rhapsody performed in 42 styles". How he can look at another artist and figure out what makes them unique, and then copy that to replicate their style, is just unbelievable. I never really thought about how one artist/s differs from another, except for those that had extreme differences, until I watched one of his songs sung in multiple styles. Alot of groups just sounded the same until I saw them featured in the same song.

[@sineaddavies8056]

i think her voice has always been amazing but Nadines fitted pop more thats why Nicolas vocals were always in the back of tracks

[@Ttoby89]

She's just the best. I'm never sure why people like her don't just release indie stuff. If (ridiculously) commercial success isn't in the cards, don't you want to release music anyway?? Self-release, I dunno!

[@lbec361]

I know she sang the first part A cappella but then it seemed she went to lip sync and towards the end back to singing live. It was either this or she had vocal enhancements during the middle portion of her performance.

[@jamiereynolds862]

Would love to see you react to her singing Sticks & Stones sometime in the future :))

[@simonsmith7594]

Do me it was always nadine and Nicola Sarah Kimberly then Cheryl

[@imnotacat3798]

I just don’t think the song, as a lead single, did that much for her. She clearly had plenty of potential, but the chorus of this song just isn’t that good. It’s a shame she didn’t release a second album in the next few years, she could’ve moved on from “L-O-V-E”

[@lonelyhorse5313]

Her lows are very weak tbh

[@Meee22222]

OMG im back ! I was waiting for more girls aloud reviews!
