As one of the highest selling girl groups of all-time, Girls Aloud dominated the charts in the UK for a decade. Known for their infectious pop hits and flashy live shows, they embarked on a twenty-four show tour in 2008 in support of their fourth album Tangled Up. These performances were nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the Girls' unique ability to dazzle audiences with their flawless harmonies and slick dance moves.
Opening with the Girls flying high on wires, the fierce five descend onto the stage wearing flowing black cloaks like a glitzy group of superheroes. The first section of the show features a ferocious rendition of "Sexy! No No No..." and a memorable performance of their iconic tune "Sound of the Underground." During the latter number, they cleverly use their male dancers as furniture. A sexy cabaret-style segment follows. While wearing form-fitting lace costumes, the Girls perform alongside their dancers while singing "Can't Speak French." From there, Girls Aloud bust out some old hits -- "Love Machine" and "Biology." These crowd-pleasers feel right at home in this section due to their retro vibe and campy sexuality. They cool things down with a series of ballads. The staging of "Whole Lotta History" is unforgettable. The Girls are hoisted above the audience on a floating catwalk and are taken to their B-stage. It is a standout moment during the show and features some of their strongest vocals. A cover of Swedish pop star Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat" follows before they bring the house down with their iconic rendition of "I'll Stand By You." During the final segment of the show, the Girls appear dressed in gorgeous sparkling gold dresses. While all the costuming for the Tangled Up Tour were glamorous, none were more beautiful than these dresses. Standout songs during this section include a cover of Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" and the simmering "Call the Shots." Finally, the Girls close the concert with a show-stopping performance of "Jump." An encore follows with Girls Aloud dressed in neon bodysuits, singing "Something Kinda Ooooh." It's a brilliant conclusion to a near-flawless show.
If there's one thing to be learned about Girls Aloud, it's that they knew how to put on one hell of a show. Tangled Up Live spotlights their unique style. The costuming is phenomenal and the choreography is top-notch. For any fan of pop music, this is one concert that must be seen.
