Girls Aloud Defend Handing Songwriting Duties To Brian Higgins

Girls Aloud’s fourth album ‘Tangled Up’ features some songwriting credits for the ‘Popstars: The Rivals’ group on a number of songs, which perhaps will keep the girls’ critics at bay.

Sometimes you just have to let people do what they’re talented at, and stick to what you know best. We are singers and performers, and I could never imagine Brian Higgins standing on a stage singing ‘Love Machine’, but don’t you think it’d be a shame if no one could bring that song to life?” Read more.
