Girls Aloud to release Sarah Harding’s version of I’ll Stand by You for Children In Need

Girls Aloud are set to release a new version of ‘I’ll Stand By You’, featuring lead vocals from the late Sarah Harding, as the official BBC Children In Need single.

In 2004, the iconic girl-group memorably topped the UK Singles Chart with their rendition of the ballad, originally a single for The Pretenders.

When Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Cheryl reunited earlier this year for The Girls Aloud Show, they paid an emotional tribute to Harding with a version highlighting her vocals.

The performance was widely regarded as one of the most powerful and memorable moments from the tour, which was met with overwhelming critical acclaim and became the biggest arena tour of 2024.

“To celebrate and honour our amazing Sarah, we’re releasing a brand-new studio version of the track once again in support of BBC Children in Need,” the group wrote on social media.

“I’ll Stand By You (Sarah’s Version) features Sarah on lead vocal throughout using vocals we discovered in the vault from the original recording sessions.

“The track played a key part in our The Girls Aloud Show arena tour this summer & was an emotional moment for us all.”

The new version will mark Girls Aloud’s first official single since their 2012 releases, ‘Something New’ and ‘Beautiful ‘Cause You Love Me’, taken from their lauded greatest hits collection Ten. 

Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders, who wrote the track alongside Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, said it’s “wonderful” to hear ‘I’ll Stand By You’ “with the lovely vocals of Sarah Harding leading the way for BBC Children in Need.”

Girls Aloud will also release a new edit of the original video with unseen archive footage. It will debut on the BBC Children in Need Appeal Show on 15 November.

Additionally, a one-hour special, titled The Girls Aloud: Show: Live at The O2, is set to air this autumn on ITV1, with the full extended arena show available to stream on ITVX.

Harding sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2021.

School Book Bans: Texans Reject Pro-Censorship Hopefuls
recent rise in book bans, with PEN America reporting that the 2022-23 academic year saw 3,362 instances of book banning, a 33 percent increase from the previous year.Frank Strong, a teacher in Austin, Texas, who tracks school board elections, wrote in his Anger & Clarity newsletter that nine of the 15 candidates who ran on banning certain books from schools lost their races."Voters decided again to reject some of the worst, most anti-book candidates," Strong wrote, adding, "And, what's more, these results continued a clear pattern, stretching back through four election cycles to November 2022, of voters successfully organizing to resist extremist takeovers of their school boards."Strong tracked the races using a 23-page document that he compiled, which includes information on the candidates, whether they are for or against book bans, and what they have said about censorship in the past.Strong also tracked whether candidates were supported by groups such as Moms for Liberty, which advocates for "parental rights at all levels of government" and has worked to prevent schools from teaching LGBTQ+ content.Moms for Liberty supporters say American schools should focus their efforts on the country's illiteracy rate instead of teaching children about "gender ideology." Newsweek contacted Moms for Liberty for comment via email outside normal working hours.In September, Moms for Liberty endorsed Brandi Burkman in her school board election.

Inclusive Curricula: How LGBTQ+ Representation Benefits All Students
Educators strive to ensure that the learning environment and curricula are without exception for all students. To do so, including LGBTQ+ representation in education plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. It helps affirm that the broad curricula impact student’s ability to accept, understand and respect one another. These attributes not only help in supporting LGBTQ+ students in schools but also make students better humans. According to a post by the American Bar Association in 2022, the Trevor Project a national organization focused on LGBTQ+ suicide prevention, found that a positive school environment made a larger impact on student’s lives than similarly positive environments at home, work, or elsewhere in the community.

Victoria de Trump provoca inquietudes en población LGBTQ en El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador— Con la reelección de Donald Trump como presidente de EEUU, han surgido preocupaciones en El Salvador sobre las posibles repercusiones en la vida de miles de migrantes salvadoreños, en particular aquellos que forman parte de la comunidad LGBTQ. El endurecimiento de las políticas migratorias y la postura conservadora de Trump en temas de derechos humanos y diversidad sexual durante su mandato anterior despiertan temores respecto a un incremento en las deportaciones y una reducción en los programas de cooperación internacional que promueven la inclusión y protección de los derechos de la población LGBTQ en El Salvador.
