both subtle and obvious tweaks to this song for the Chemistry tour have immensely improved on the overall performance compared to their singles promotion. firstly the, i guess you can say, the un-distribution of the first chorus as a Nadine solo to a group chorus makes WAY more sense and balances the song much much better. they should have done the same for Waiting. secondly, the stylistic changes of the backing band totally elevate this song. the vibe of an introduction sorta blends from Kimba's part into Chezza's solo in that the first half of that solo still has a laid back backing so its flows much much better. and towards the end, the breakdown of the band parts as the final chorus ends is just so sweet and a wonderful ending, all perfected with a wonderful last note by Nadine. Sure, one can say that Nadine is a strong vocalist but she gets boring for one whole song (ie her solo albums), which is why she shines in a group when you want to hear all different voices in one song, and the vocal distribution changes that were made for the Chemistry tour were an amazing tweak on the musical directors part
Whichever Songwriting Team comes along "After" Xenomania will have some Big Shoes to Fill. I take nothing away from The Songwriters of Motown, Phil Spector (who heavily influenced them), but these guys seemed to have the Midas Touch.
Sarah, you will be missed ❤️
All their vocals here!!!was so great.... it gives me goosebump
Cheryl is incredible here. I hate that people say she can’t sing 😢

Back in the day if I didn't know Kimberley & Nadine as Girls Aloud I would think that hey were Fraternal Twins.
