I am loving the Songs of the Day by Girls Aloud and I'm wondering if you've picked up on how Girls Aloud seem to have far more adult songs than the Spice Girls? The Spice Girls seemed to appeal to four year old girls all the way up to adolescent girls with very juvenile songs, whereas Girls Aloud have a rather mature style. How on earth are Girls Aloud not successful in the United States but the Spice Girls were rammed down our throats? There are so many British bands and singers that have found success in the US this past decade but not Girls Aloud? The Pussy Cat Dolls are a phenomenon but Girls Aloud's contribution to the US consists of an Irish pub in Sunset Beach? It does not make any sense.

A: It's been pointed out by readers that Girls Aloud do not have a record deal here. However, with the Internet and itunes and all the ways of getting music these days, I'm still surprised they are not a bigger presence in this country. Maybe if soccer becomes bigger here, it will help.

This week Britney Spears has been playing some shows in the UK and during one of those shows, she shouted out "What's up, London?"

Problem was, she was playing in Manchester!

Have you heard if Britney had been getting some advice on who and what to cheer for in public from any USC Song Girls?

A: I believe she rehearsed for her tour at the Rose Bowl with USC-Texas playing in the background.
