Nadine Coyle: 'Insatiable'

Published Sep 21 2010, 13:50 BST | By Nick Levine

Up until a few weeks back, you'd have been entirely justified in filing the Nadine Coyle solo album alongside pixies, vampires and the purpose of Amanda Holden on the 'Things That Don't Actually Exist' pile. But then came news of an exclusive distribution deal with Tesco, a Tina Turnerish vibe to the music and a debut solo single that apparently sounded like the Bangles.

And here is that debut solo single. Co-written and produced by Robbie's old mucca Guy Chambers, 'Insatiable' is a bombastic pop chugger - synthy enough for 2010 but not quite modern-sounding - whose combination of power chords, horns and showboating vocals do indeed invite comparisons with Coyle's forebear in the Belting Voice, Smashing Pins sub-category of pop divas. Honestly though, you'd need to be having a really manic monday to think this sounds much like the Bangles.

Oh my goodness, i've seen her music video once and the first impression it gave me was get over yourself! Literally you can see that she is a tart prancing in the wanna-be lime-light!! Doing her very best to beat Cheryl Cole's beautiful style!! Nadine is probably only in the wannabe limelight herself coz she wants to be like Cheryl Cole, well if your up for a competition Nadine prepare to lose!! The song is awful, nothing pleasing for a first solo hit single! If it does get to number # 1 i'll be suprised!! Let's be honest with ourselves Nadine ain't exacly gonna' score the best song of 2010 is she!!? Cheryl so far has managed to break the U.K for the best selling hit single for two years now - beat that Nadine!!

To answer my own question, she doesn't get away with singing out of tune, judging by today's report of poor sales of her single.

to the person below raving about Cheryl, no one can realistically deny that Nadine has the best vocals out of Girl's Aloud, hence her being the lead singer!
Cheryl is undoubtedly more popular, because she is pretty and largely due to X Factor that is the only difference - she has a greater background, if Nadine was a judge, performing on the show etc. she'd do as well as Cheryl. This song is ok, not amazing but better than cheryls crap
