This makes me feel so old. I remember watching this and hoping Nadine got in after what happened in the Irish show popstars and the band Six. She lied she was 18 when she was 16 and the group still wanted her but as she lied the producers said she had to go. Louie really wanted her in this band in popstars the rivals. Despite a no 1 in tons of countries Six was basically ditched I heard by Simon's company so he could consentrate on pop idol etc. Pity Nadine's solo career did not take off more. I think having her album exclusively at Tesco was a huge mistake. Her voice is fabulous.

Nicola was brilliant! Shame on them hiding her away when she got in the group, and she didn't make the top 10 first time why? Her voice is tremendous. And they knew it but Pete was all about image. Nicola wanted some feedback but instead Pete started a talk about how stupid they were to feel nervous (!) and Geriatric said she wasn't Northern enough in her performance abd too grown up.. (the above was predictive text but I'm cross with the woman so I'm keeping it!😃) Nicola deserved so, I checked better and u could tell Davina thought so. Nicola was as strong as vocalist as Nadine but the media mocking her , the management ignoring her and her own nerves meant she got pushed to the back. 😢 Well at least by the time she had that fierce bob 👱 she was a full on Diva and working it!!

So interesting seeing this again as I remember so little of it! Thoughts: AIMEE - sad to say probably the weakest performance. She was cute and likeable but I notice she's the only one who got an upbeat song. Unfortunately her performance was very unconvincing and lacked... well anything really lol Nice girl but zero charisma JAVINE - just not likeable in any way. Too sure of herself, looks like she'd glass you behind a Wetherspoon's if you gave her boyfriend the side eye. A very weak performance where she seemed to be showing off a voice she didn't actually have lol. Arguing with a judge just makes you look like a troublemaker; no doubt the public see that kind of thing as a threat. Her not getting through was never about race - she just blew it completely in this episode KIMBERLEY - a good all-rounder, not really outstanding in any way but competent at everything, likeable and charming and her performance was tasteful CHERYL - she was one of two who I think was always going to get through no matter what (the other being Nadine). The public had just taken to her. Although Nothing Compares 2 U is a bit big for her limited voice, she has an emotional voice and that came through well, so in that sense it was a good song choice SARAH - definitely another one you just had a feeling about. She was the fun, happy-go-lucky party girl everyone could relate to yet she was humble. Her performance was perhaps surprisingly good, hitting some big notes very well. God rest her soul x NADINE - an absolute cert. I think even here everyone knew she had the best voice by far. Her performance was a bit pitchy but when she was on the money she was great; there is just such a warmth to the timbre of her voice that draws you in and captivates you. The most charismatic of the girls IMO NICOLA - I've never been a huge fan of her voice but to my great surprise, she gave arguably the best performance of the night. Her low range was a bit dodgy but when she hit those highs, she really found her feet. But she was kind of unusual, and at the time it was difficult to say whether people would see her as a bit odd, or endearingly eccentric. Luckily for us, it was the latter And finally, Pete Waterman is a massive arsehole :)

Your assessment was excellent! I happen to agree with pretty much every point you made. So true about Javine looking like someone who might glass you! Lol. She definitely came across as being too fierce. Nadine, Cheryl and Sarah were absolute guarantees for the band from the start. That was obvious. Nadine had the voice, Cheryl had the pretty looks and cute Geordie accent, and Sarah had the special sparkle. I think Nicola was chosen because, as you said, she gave a surprisingly good performance on this night, and also because I actually think some of the public wanted a redhead in the band (not long before this show, remember The Spice Girls had Ginger Spice). Btw, I'm not a fan of her voice either -- not then, and not now (her voice is too 'weedy'/whiny/thin for my taste). Kimberley's appeal was her rather sensual, Jennifer Lopez-type look and her overall likeability. And, yes, Pete Waterman is a massive arsehole here! ;)

oh at 8:59 Sarah and Tara, next to each other R.I.P both.

Nadine and Nicola (Roberts), the youngest two, were the best by miles from the off. Thanks to Louis' stupidity, Nicola would not have even been in the live shows because, according to him (a gay man), she didn't look like a pop star. The coward even sent Pete to break the news to her, even though Pete was in charge of the boys group and Nicola was his favourite from the start. A huge voting campaign in the north-east got Cheryl into the band on that murder of Nothing Compares to You.
