Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be....GIRLS ALOUD

Youtube has been creating mini celebs for a good five year now. The sheer volume of content that now resides on the site is astronomic. Not an often covered band commercially, there is a plethora of amateur performers impersonating Girls Aloud on youtube. Some of it is fascinating, some of it is dire and most of it is half-hearted, but i have picked out a few of my favs below:

Absent Elk - The Loving Kind
Girls Aloud goes brit pop. One comment on the video noted it sounded like The Verve, and i have to agree. It's got a northern, late-nineties feel to it.


Remitocoko - Can't Speak French
A cute little french guy does 'Can't Speak French', as ironic as when the girls did their french version.


Rudi Douglas - The Loving Kind
Another cover of 'The Loving Kind', this time more melodic and restrained. Reminiscent of the candlelight mixes of well known club tracks.


Little Boots and Mrs Chinaski - Sexy! No No No
Before she became 'Little Boots - Voice of 2009' this is a somewhat hap-hazard version of 'Sexy! No No No', but it has some brilliant moments.
