One Weekend, Two Girls Aloud Performances

The Girls Aloud comeback wagon got into full swing this weekend ahead of Sunday's official release of their new single, "Something New". Which one was better, though?

A. Children In Need. 


Good points: The orange dresses, obviously, and that slightly epic video countdown. 

Weak points: Not a very exciting performance, admittedly. The girls all seemed nervous, Cheryl slipped in the beginning, none of their vocals were very on point. 


B. Strictly Come Dancing 


Good points: Each of the girls looked fantastic, the stage and lighting effects gave the performance a grander feel than Children In Need, and the vocals were much more confident this time out. Also, it was shocking to actually see female backup dancers during a Girls Aloud performance -- AND that the dancers were wearing those splendid orange dresses. 

Weak points: Honestly...couldn't really find any. Well done, Girls. Well done.

Obviously, the Strictly Come Dancing performance was the better one in case there was any doubt.
