Girls Aloud have questioned Pete Doherty's qualifications as both a rock star and pin-up.
The all-girl five-piece put the boot into the Babyshambles star in a new interview, as they prepare to release their greatest hits.
Firstly, Nadine Coyle disputed the former Libertine's talents, commenting: "He's supposed to be this musical genius, but has anyone heard his singing?
"I've heard a Babyshambles album and it was like: 'What am I listening to!?' We could make a record that sounded like that, but could he make one that sounded like us?"
Kimberly Walsh, meanwhile, disputed the idea that Doherty is an attractive icon, commenting: "I guess that if you like brown teeth and mouldy fingers, he's your guy."
what do you think about it?

Oh he is horrible - how do they make any money - have you heard their music???? God knows what Kate Moss sees him (although I do not know what the hype is about her either) I have seen nicer looking girls on the street. It makes me mad when they have got so much money to throw away on drugs and the authorities do not do anything about it. If it were the ordinary Joe Bloggs on the street surely they would have had a fine or done time by now?
I am not a huge fan of Girls Aloud but we know they can sing and they look good!!!

I think the girls from Girls Allowed are allowed their opinions as much as we are. After all what makes any of us "qualified" on any of the topics on Yahoo answers??
I'm not sure about Pete Doherty myself. I think he is an addict and needs help, and if he manages to get himself cleaned up then good for him. Am a bit sick of hearing the "Pete Doherty charged with possession" stories - he's a junkie, for goodness sake. If you stop him on the streets etc, then its fairly likely he's gonna have stuff on him!!
As far as the music goes, I like both Girls Allowed and the Libertines, tho not heard much from Babyshambles. I don't think either come into the category of musical geniuses tho. When it all comes down to it, Girls Allowed will either be remembered as one of the few bands to be a success following a tv talent show, or will be forgotten entirely, whilst the Libertines etc will probably only be remembered for Pete's antics.

I think that there is room for both Girls Aloud and Pete Doherty, and the people who listen to Girls Aloud aren't into Pete Doherty, and visa versa, personally I think Pete is a very talented man, unfortunately he got mixed up in drugs, but I bet he never woke up one day and said "Oh I know what I will do today, I will go out and get hooked on heroin!" - these things happen, and we shouldn't knock him for it. At the moment he is trying to get clean, and I sincerely hope he can, as for talent, at least he actually writes his own songs, unlike Girls Aloud.

Pete Doherty's nothing new he looks like that kid at school who had no friends came from a large family of hooligans and never had a p.e kit. I predict he will die within the next 12 months in a pool of his own piss and vomit and the media will call him a musical genius which we all know to be complete tosh Ive heard ran over cats in the last throws of life sound more in tune. To make a long story short hes a grade A druggie **** oxygen thief.

Nothing Pete Doherty has ever done has remotely impressed me, so I don't think they're being too controversial.
That said, I'd rather gargle the contents of a curry addict's colostemy bag than listen to anything by Girls Aloud.

I think Girls Aloud generally think too highly of themselves.Although they've got a point there,in that Babyshambles simply SUCKS from all viewpoints, who gives them the right to come out in the open and humiliate him as if thery're any much better....

Let me put it this way. If you gave me two choices - I have to go and see one or the other play live for 7 hours straight, but the other will be shot at dawn with no hope of reprieve - I would quite happily send Girls Aloud to the firing line without a second thought. The world would be a better place without them.

1st girls aloud are shite. 2nd Pete Doherty in whatever form ie. Babyshambles or Solo is at least a genuine artist i.e. not a clone reproduction - however his music is shite as well. Doherty is a smack-head *p*rick and deserves abuse.

it is awesome what a contact bit attractiveness and money can do. Ugh. the guy is dropping his significant information, and that i don't think of of he's a robust position variety for each guy or woman. He might want to really be dealt with more advantageous harshly in my opinion. I agree that heroin is a poor habit - I used to stay in a hostel and function seen a concepts too many respectable, good human beings grow to be tangled up pin-freaks because of this. He obviously needs help back off the drugs, constructive, yet he also needs to appreciate that his behaviour isn't perfect. I undergo in options decrease back in 2004, he grew to change into into voted 'Coolest guy interior the global' (or something both idiotic) by technique of skill of NME readers.That alarmed me extra constructive than a contact, as he grew to change into into interior the technique particularly some addictions, grew to change into into coated in sores by technique of using his habit, and had thoroughly tangled up his relationship mutually mutually with his band. It grew to change into into at that aspect i realised that i'd replace into too previous and too smart for what replaced into my conventional song mag. even if human beings like it or no longer, as a bear in mind of actuality that this guy is interior the popular public eye. he's seen to be a cultural icon. I relish that he did not ask for this, and it would want to need to be demanding to attend to, yet his position skill that he does have a distinct volume of duty for putting an get mutually. declaring that 'Heroin is accountable, no longer Pete' is ridiculous, i'm sorry. constructive, heroin is an undesirable substance that human beings on the instantaneous and positively get addicted to, yet regardless of regardless of subject matters he had that led him to attempt the drug, Pete did this to himself. Or did someone rigidity the first few hits into his arm before he were given hooked?? Edit: RTF - A degrees? What an completely absurd assumption. Do 4 A-degrees, a 1st variety BA, an MA, and a PhD count number volume?

Doherty should be in prison for his blatant disregard for the law. That being said, Girls Aloud should also be sent down for crimes against music.
