History Music / GirlsAloud

* BetweenMyLegs: Used in the "Kimberley" ending of their video for "I Think We're Alone Now". [[spoiler: Kimberley stops the guys from chasing them by flashing them, causing them to faint as she gives a knowing look to the camera.]]

** The girls themselves, with the exception of Nadine, regularly make guest appearances on other reality shows as well. Kimberley is a contestant on ''StrictlyComeDancing'', Cheryl boosted her solo profile with ''Series/TheXFactor'', Nicola is a mentor[=/=]judge on ''Styled To Rock'', and Sarah hosted the dating program ''Dating In The Dark''. Nadine's reality show appearances so far have been limited to the band's behind the scenes specials and as a guest judge on ''AmericasNextTopModel''.

* RealityShow / TalentShow: One of the few success stories to come from those types of programs. They're probably the only reality TV success story involving the creation of an entire band. It does remain to be seen if OneDirection and Music/LittleMix can be as long lasting.

* ShesGotLegs: All of them, but Nadine will wear outfits that show her legs the most often.

** The circumstances surrounding Cheryl's dubious exit from the US version of ''TheXFactor'' still remain murky, to this day.

Formerly on hiatus (for what was intended to be one year but ultimately became three-and-a-half), it was announced in May 2012 that the girls were recording new material with their longtime collaborators Xenomania. After months of speculation, it was finally confirmed that the fivesome would reunite to release a new single for Children In Need 2012, as well as embark on a new tour in 2013.

** The circumstances surrounding Cheryl's dubious exit from the US version of TheXFactor still remain murky, to this day.

-->'''Cheryl''': What were we thinking?
-->'''Sarah''': How the hell we're gonna get the AA to come and pick us up on the moon?

* BetweenMyLegs: Used in their video for "I Think We're Alone Now".

* GenkiGirl: Sarah, although all five of them tend to get excitable when they start chattering at the same time.

* {{Fanservice}}: Their videos for "Long Hot Summer", "Wake Me Up", "Can't Speak French" and "Sexy! No No No..." are prime examples.

** Nadine also owns a bar in Los Angeles with her family.

Originally created by the 2002 TalentShow ''Popstars: The Rivals'' in the sense that members were actually voted for by the viewing public, GirlsAloud long outlasted the male group also created and have 20 UK Top 10 singles to their name, including four UK Number Ones. They also appeared as the school band at the end of the 2008 ''StTrinians'' movie.

* GenreRoulette: While firmly standing in {{Pop}} territory, they've experimented with all kinds of genres. ''Out of Control'' is probably the best example of their variation in style; that one album alone sees them playing with Music/{{Soul}}, Drum & Bass, ElectronicMusic, {{Funk}}, Dancehall, AlternativeRock ''and'' CountryMusic.
