Ssssh. Don't tell anybody. But Cheryl Cole is very nervous. 'Terrified, to be honest,' she confides, with a sharp intake of breath. As the first member of Girls Aloud - Britain's definitive, state-of-the-art and state-of-the-nation noughties pop empire - to complete a solo record, she is, to paraphrase a bit of the parlance she has become used to, well out of her comfort zone. 'The other four girls have been my cushion for almost the entire decade. We've all been cushions for each another.' It was with some trepidation, then, that she spotted the video for her debut single, the delightful baroque pop tune Fight For This Love, come onto a TV screen backstage at the Girls recent support slot for Coldplay. (Chris Martin had put in the request himself, natch).

K'naan
Somalia. The name alone conjures up images of unbridled destruction, merciless warlords and ruthless terror.

Lady GaGa
When Lady GaGa was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy’s arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
