Short Biography

Nadine Elizabeth Louise Coyle (born 15 June 1985 in Derry, Northern Ireland) is an Irish[1] singer for the pop group Girls Aloud. She was born to Lillian and Niall Coyle, with two sisters, Charmaine and Rachael.

Before finding fame, Coyle recorded a demo CD which was distributed to Louis Walsh (now ex co-manager of Girls Aloud) and The Late Late Show. This songs included "Fields Of Gold", "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", "Love Is" and "Summertime". The demo CD is very rare as only a few copies were made (Coyle gave most to her friends and family); one found its way onto eBay and earned a high price.

Coyle first found fame in 2001 when, while attending Thornhill College, Derry, she entered the Irish version of the talent show Popstars. As one of the winners of the show, Coyle was selected to become a member of the group Six. Shortly after the group was formed, the bandmates moved into a house together and all were interviewed on camera.

Coyle gave a string of information about herself but then stopped suddenly and whispered "What date of birth did I give...?" She initially maintained that she had simply made a mistake when stating her birthday, but later broke down off camera and admitted that she had lied about her age and was in fact only 15 years old. As the minimum age stipulated by the producers was 18, she had to be dropped from the group and returned to her secondary grammar school, Thornhill College. Six`s first single, "Whole Lot Of Loving", went on to become the fastest-selling single in Irish history. It was later beaten by Leona Lewis`s single Bleeding Love in 2007.

In 2002 Coyle returned to enter the UK talent show Popstars: The Rivals at the invitation of manager, Louis Walsh. As she got through the first few rounds, her first fansite opened. She polled the third-highest number of votes in the final and was chosen to join the group Girls Aloud. During the series, she had been a hot favourite to make the group. When asked to name a highlight from the show, presenter Davina McCall simply answered "Nadine".

The group`s first single "Sound of the Underground" was released in December 2002 and went to number one in the UK and Ireland.

With Girls Aloud she has scored 19 top 10 singles (four of which have been #1s) and five platinum albums (including a #1). Nadine is often seen as "the voice" of the band and has the most vocal experience in the group, having taken part in and won two series of Popstars, the only person in the world to do so. Nadine has showed off her vocal talent several times whilst on UK tours with her band mates.

Louis Walsh has promised to make Nadine a solo star if and when Girls Aloud go their separate ways. However, she has constantly denied reports she will leave the girl group to become a solo artist.

Nadine has also co-written a few songs whilst in the group, including:

* "100 Different Ways" (What Will the Neighbours Say?)
* "Why Do It" (B-side to I Think We`re Alone Now)
* "Sexy! No, No, No..."
Coyle filmed a cameo appearance in Natasha Bedingfield`s video for "I Wanna Have Your Babies" in Los Angeles.[2] In 2007, Coyle and the other members of Girls Aloud made a cameo appearance as schoolgirls in the film St. Trinian`s. The theme song of the official movie soundtrack that she recorded with her bandmates reached number 51 in the UK charts. Coyle also appeared o
