Sugababes/Girls Aloud - Walk This Way
Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.
The prospect of pure pop Girls Aloud ‘versus’ the more urban Sugababes was quite exciting in an eye candy alert kind of way. But the choice of Aerosmith and Run DMCs Walk This Way was ultimate sacrilige.
On their own, Girls Aloud and Sugababes are class acts and have both managed to pull off fantastic cover versions in the past.

I have a long-standing respect for Aerosmith, and seeing one of their best-known tunes butchered is more important than the eye candy element! And by the way - does anyone else think Nadine Coyle’s eyelid fluttering is getting more ridiculous with each video?
If it wasn’t for the charity element, it’d be a complete write-off.
