Cheryl Cole: Girls Aloud are better than the Spice Girls

Singer thinks Victoria Beckham and co are overrated

Wednesday, 22 October 2008

Cheryl Cole has slammed the Spice Girls – despite being pals with Victoria Beckham.

The singer insists Girls Aloud are a better group because they’ve had more longevity.  

‘We’ve been around for 6 years – they were around for 18 months!’ she says. ‘We recognise what the Spice Girls did, but it really annoys me when you meet girls who go: “We wannabe the next Spice Girls”.’

And Chezza, 25, insists that Posh, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell - who are now all in their thirties - never had the same chemistry as she and bandmates Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.   

‘Yes, they had worldwide domination, but they fell out, bitched about each other and went their separate ways,’ she tells Attitude. ‘We’ve been around all this time, fighting to climb each step of the ladder, putting our hearts into everything.’

Cheryl, who found fame when Girls Aloud were formed on ITV1 show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, and Posh, 34, have become friends because their husbands are both footballers.

The Spice Girls debuted in 1994. They split in 2001, but reformed last year for a comeback tour.

5 Platinum Albums doesnt really compare to 55 million records sold world wide doest it now cherly? Difference is that outside of the UK the Spice Girls will always be well know and will always will be well as for Girls Aloud anyone remember when they last got a mention in the US?? And lets remember that Geri Halliwell was actually part of the show that put Girls Aloud together I think they owe a little more to the Spice girls than they care to admit.

What a joke - Girls aloud are not and NEVER will be as big as the spice girls. Not only did the spice girls sell over 55 million records worldwide but they co-wrote ALL their songs, something girls aloud could never claim to do. Girls aloud are good but cheryl cole is having a laugh if she actually thinks girls aloud are better than the spice girls!!!!!!!!!!
