AdemTV: Girls Aloud’s “The Promise”
That is the new Girls Aloud video clip for “The Promise.”
Some thoughts:
> Nadine’s hair in the black & white bit is INCREDIBLY FIERCE.
> Sarah’s appearance in front of the silver screen is so dramatic and incredibly her, isn’t it?
> Nicola’s hair is quite fab in this one too.
> Kimba and Cheryl don’t really play as big a part as I thought they would.
> I do quite like the bit when Cheryl is clutching that magazine at the start though.
> It really is all about Sarah this time around really.
> The song is still pretty smashing.
> As is that key change at the end.
All in all, I’m Very Pleased with this and it’s nice to see they’ve increased their video clip budget to an entire 3-Pounds-50 for the new single.
Now, hurry up with that album girls, I’m bored of this waiting around.
FYI: I’ll be away for a few days. Off to see Lady GaGa tomorrow night and then to the Parklife Music Festival on Sunday where Goldfrapp, Dragonette, Peaches, Soulwax, Dizzee Rascal, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Fake Blood, Yuksek and my beloved Van She will be playing along with about a billion other amazing artists. So I’ll be MIA until at least Tuesday at some point…

I like the video! I don’t know all the girls names (yet) … still sorta new to the GA phenomenon (!) but it will be cool to assimilate the girls into my ever expanding musical palate.
How cool that you are going to see Lady G and your beloved Van She! Lots of quality artistry going on at that event. I’m going to try hard to stave off any jealousy…

Still not feeling the vid – or song – but thanks for posting!
I hope you enjoy Ms GaGa & your festival!

Love the video, still think Nicola’s far too short time in the spotline is the most amazing bit in it, though I have to say Cheryl’s “if you wanna convince me start again, if you wanna be with me in my arms” seems quite moving and poignant in the video, considering the year she’s had…

I love the song, but am unsure about the unnecessary key change near the end. I suppose that kind of thing is compulsory, right?
