Cheryl Cole: Our Girls Aloud hits are crap

Cheryl Cole - Celebrity News - Marie Claire Rex Features

X Factor superstar Cheryl Cole has spoken out about her career with Girls Aloud, branding some of their hits ‘crap'.

She's recently had a number one single as a solo artist, but it seems the star's not been too happy with some of her past work.

In a recent interview with Q magazine, Cheryl said: 'I remember listening to Love Machine and thinking, ‘We cannot put this crap out. That's what I said to the label, 'It sounds like something Busted would do'.'

But after the single went to number two in the charts it seems Miss Cole decided to keep quiet.

Cheryl struck a sultry pose for Q's February cover, and also took part in a Gothic inspired photoshoot working smoky eyes, vampy red lips and some seriously spiky accessories.

In the same interview, Britain's golden girl also spoke out about her continuing feud with fellow singer Lily Allen.

She called my husband ‘Horrendous'. Then she called [Girls Aloud singer] Nicola ‘Ugly',' the star said.

‘For another female artist to call you ugly is so awful. Nicola's been called ‘Ginger' all her life, then she makes something of herself and everyone calls her the 'ugly one'.'

Do you agree with Cheryl's comments? Or are there any Girls Aloud fans out there? Let us know your verdict in the box below.

Thats a bit harsh Cheryl! I really like girls aloud! And Love Machine!

Haha gotta love her, but at least she's honest enough to admit even she thinks they're music is sh*t. It's all money, money, money with the industry these days, someone sits at home writes this sh*t and they get paid to wear next to nothing and sing.
Say what you want about OASIS but at least bands like them, Kasabian, KOL, Bombay Bicycle Club and Temper Trap write their own music, play their own instruments and don't do it half naked...as much as we may want them too.

I think CC is becoming to big for her own boots! if it was not for her husbands affair and simon cowell then she would still be viewed as the person who assualted a female on a night out.

I think she needs to remember how she became famous....and as for lily allens comments - CC has made many a comment towards lily!

LMAO!! "Love Machine" is cr*p but "Fight for this love" is a real classic - eh Chezza?!! he he!

I am fed up with people criticising Cheryl Cole. People are 100% jealous of her; her looks and abilities. The only thing extra I would like to see Cheryl Cole involved in is visiting sick children, deprived children and returning wunded soldiers. She is the light and star of the nation.

I cant fathom how Cheryl Cole could say her early work with Girls Aloud was crap. Its certainly all a lot better than her solo work - now that is crap. Stay with the band girl - singing solo is not your forte - group focals are a lot better esp for you - cant sing love but the costumes are great though!

I'm not a big Girls Aloud fan but most of their songs have been decent enough for the genre - I like Love Machine, its a bit of fun that's all. I don't like hearing Cheryl slagging off the group, she would be nowhere today without them and this belated criticism of some of their songs smacks of pandering to the media to me. Speaking of crap songs, with the truly awful Fight for This Love (even though I can't stand it I heard it so often I had the thing in my head for a couple of weeks!) Cheryl has no room to talk about crap. The new one 3 Words is way better, then again Will I Am is hardly likely to collaborate on a crap song.

So far as Lily Allen goes, I think she is a spoilt little rich girl - Cheryl at least came through via a talent show (although if truth be told her vocal talents are merely adequate, she is a better dancer than singer).

Funny how she keeps her mouth shut until she does a goth inspired photo shoot for a predominantly rock music magazine. Talk about pandering to the audience.

Cheryl cant really say girls aloud are crap because if it wasnt for the band she would be nothing the band is what made her what she is today and girls aloud arnt crap i went to one of there concerts and they were really good and nicola is not ugly she is a idol for all pale girls GO NICOLA!!!

CC is one of them love em or hate em celebs and i am SOOOOO sick of her "fan club" branding any one who doesn't sing her praises as being jealous, that is completely untrue and everyone is entitled to their opinion. GA had some great hits (though i'm not their biggest fan)and now the spotlight's on her she brands the hits that made her who she is as rubbish?! Sounds like a v ungrateful child biting the hand that fed her.
I have to say she looks dreadful (that look doesn't suit her at all!) on the magazine cover + her husband is horrendous!
I am not hating, that is MY opinion!xx
