Wonderland chat Westlife, Boyzone, The Kixx AND Olly Murs

The Wonderland girls exclusively chat to us about touring with Westlife, Boyzone, The Kixx AND Olly Murs

WE couldn’t be more envious of The Wonderland girls right now.

Not only have hot new girl group Wonderland toured with Boyzone and Westlife, they are now hitching a ride along with one of the nicest blokes in pop Olly Murs as he tours the country.

And they are also new BFFs with uber cool new boyband The Kixx (we can vouch for the fact they are pretty blimmin lovely too).

With their first debut album on its way, a trip to LA to film their latest video for single Starlight and a half-time performance at the WNBA Live on Sunday all part of their manic schedule we were excited just to bag five minutes of their time today.

And here’s how our chat with Wonderland’s Corrina went:

Thanks for slotting us into your hectic schedule. How’s it going?

It’s crazy! But definitely better to be busy than not!

So you’re performing at WNBA Live on Sunday…

Yes we’re really excited. It’s the first WNBA to be played in Europe so a big occasion.

Have you ever played basketball yourself?

I played basketball back at school but not since.

So how DO you all stay so fit and gorgeous?

Some of us go to the gym but the main thing is eating healthily on the road. It’s easy to eat Burger King and KFC on the road. When we’re on stage for 30 minutes dancing around that keeps us fit.

Talking of fit, you’re touring with the gorgeous Olly Murs at the moment. How’s that?

It’s brilliant. He’s the nicest guy you could ever meet. He’s so sweet, really warm, bubbly and very talented. We learn things from him as well.

And what kind of reaction are you getting from his fans?

Amazing. They’re young girls so we were worried how they would react. But their Twitter and Facebook comments have been amazing. They have been so warm and welcoming.

The Kixx lads are also along for the ride. They’re lovely boys aren’t they?

They are so sweet and extremely talented. Me and the girls have got a little friendship with them. We wish them all the best.

So tell us about your first album (out June 6)

It’s self titled. And sound-wise it’s a mixture for everybody. Some up tempo, fun songs for younger girls. Some strong, heartfelt ballads. And even a country twang. We worked really hard at it and co-wrote two of the songs. We just wanted good quality music. We wanted to get the right songs and we didn’t want album fillers. Every song is as good as the one before.

Was the video for Starlight fun to make?

We were in LA. The video is about going on a road trip and that’s exactly what we did.

You lived every girl’s dream by touring with both Boyzone AND Westlife. Tell us EVERYTHING!

It was amazing. I loved Boyzone first when I was younger and then Westlife. I went to one of Westlife’s signing so for me to be on stage supporting them was amazing. I used to go to their concerts with my cousin. At one point we were supporting both Boyzone and Westlife at the same time. They’re so confident on stage. You take a little bit with you from them every night. It was also good to get experience in front of different crowds.

Did the lads give you lots of words of wisdom?

They were constantly giving us advice. Obviously Kian manages us and Mark gave us loads of advice. Ronan Keating would come into our dressing room and tell us to have a good time. He was constantly telling us to have confidence because if you’re nervous then the crowd can feel that.

We’re green with envy. What’s the best thing about being in a girlband?

Having such a loving friendship and having your four best friends around you. We tell each other everything, we’re so close, we laugh together, cry together. I can’t imagine doing this with anybody else.

What’s the key to making sure you all stick together?

Honesty is the best policy. If there’s anything we need to say we sit down and talk about things and get it off our chest.

Wonderland will be performing at half time at WNBA Live – Manchester 2011 when the Atlanta Dream take on the Standard Life Great Britain women’s basketball team at the MEN Arena on Sunday 29 May. Tickets are available from www.men-arena.com, www.ticketmaster.co.uk or 0844 847 8000
