The late star of Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding was a singer best known for her leading parts in some of the group's most successful singles, including "The Promise" and "Wake Me Up". Sarah was the final member announced of Girls Aloud, though she since went on to become one of their most integral, largely due to her unique image and potent voice. A belter through-and-through, Sarah's powerful voice stood out amongst the group because of her unique, rock-flavoured edge. Sarah absolutely shone in her upper register - her belting was immensely clear yet powerful through the mid-fifth octave, whilst she took on many of the group's higher harmonies seemingly without difficulty. Sarah sadly passed away in 2021 at only 39 years old, yet her contributions to Girls Aloud - and subsequently, her impact on British pop music as a whole - remains.
{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
One of her rare live performances without the band.
A live performance that shows off her slightly rockier edge.
Her high notes may have been a tad inconsistent live, but she nails it here.
