Happy 30th birthday Nadine Coyle! Her most amazing moments…
Happy birthday, Nadine Coyle! The former (sob) Girls Aloud member turns 30 years old today, and with new music in the pipeline for later this year, we thought we’d have a look at some of the reasons why we love Queen Nadine.
1. PASSPORTGATE during Irish Popstars
“Nadine still seems confused about her date of birth,” the voice over ominously intones 25 seconds into the clip above. INCREDIBLE.
2. That wonderful Derry accent:
If you understood more than three words in the clip above, please send us a postcard and let us know what she’s saying.
3. Her undisputed role as lead singer of Girls Aloud
The one Girls Aloud single to have next-to-no Nadine vocals, 2012’s Beautiful Cos You Love Me, peaked in the charts at 97. #justsaying
4. Her absolutely hilarious parody Twitter account

5. Her totally underrated solo single Insatiable
6. The gorgeous William Orbit-produced highlight of her solo album, Unbroken:
7. Her oh-so-Moulin Rouge 2013 leaked solo song Diamonds.
BEYOND camp.
8. Her L.A. pub, ‘Nadine’s Irish Mist’
Life goal: Make it to Nadine’s Irish Mist and sit at the bar drinking too many margaritas with Nadine herself. Can we crowdfund this?
9. That time she went rogue about the Girls Aloud split:
Oh you just know the others woulda been PIIIIISSED when they saw this.
10. When she swanned past the others like this…
11. That time a wasp tried to duet with her on Call The Shots
…from 18 seconds into the clip above. Poor Nuhdeen.
12. Her incredible stage presence:
13. …and her love of her fans:
14. Her appearance as ‘Erin thé Goddess’ in Michael Flatley’s Dangerous Games, where she performs the title track
15. This hair flick:
16. Fields of Gold. That is all.
17. This outfit she wore to launch Insatiable in New York
18. When she helped out on America’s Next Top Model and they subtitled her (from around the 1.50 mark)
19. When she had a baby and it was just as fabulous as she is
20. When she tried her hand at acting on SMTV:
21. Or when she tried acting for the very first time in this low budget Derry film, where she gets a line at the 5.05 mark…
22. Also when she returned to Derry to take part in a tree planting world record attempt looking suitably glam
23. When she casually dodged questions about Cheryl Cole while dealing with a microphone malfunction
24. Or this time when Cheryl was telling her about a wardrobe malfunction and she didn’t give a single fuck
25. Or the time when Nadine was told to dress up, but Cheryl wasn’t, so Cheryl was furious but Nadine just CBA.
Cheryl: Who looks like the dickhead? Not you, because the other two are dressed as well!
Nadine: I know, what is wrong with me?! *hair flick*
26. When she took the Attitude How Gay Are You Quiz and chatted Grindr, hair tossing and duetting with Madonna
27. All of these clips
28. And these. Literally, never a dull moment
29. This look
30. When she did this Girls Aloud medley all by herself and finally deemed the other four redundant
Happy birthday Nadine! Long may you reign.
