Nicola Maria Roberts (born 5 October 1985) is a British recording artist and entrepreneur. After auditioning and successfully completing the reality television series and competition Popstars The Rivals, Roberts became part of girl-group Girls Aloud. Their debut single "Sound of the Underground" topped the UK Singles chart. This success helped them win the competition and they were later entered in Guinness World Records as the most successful reality television music-group. The five-piece band enjoyed 20 consecutive top ten singles, spawning five albums and positive critical responses. But during her time with the band Roberts was referred to as "the ugly one" for her pale skin tone which left her depressed with her fame derived from the time with Girls Aloud.
In 2008, after releasing a pale skin make-up collection titled Dainty Doll, Roberts advocated the ban of underage usage of tanning beds with the documentary Nicola Roberts: The Truth About Tanning. Her public stance with a British MP led to a bill which banned under 18s from using tanning beds. In 2011 Roberts released her debut album Cinderella's Eyes with her debut single "Beat of My Drum" with both earning acclaim commercial success was mixed. Two follow-up singles "Lucky Day" and "Yo-Yo" both gained equally positive critical responses but failed commercially. The album was described as electronic-influenced and garnered positive reviews and peaked at number 17 in the United Kingdom.
Nora Roberts (born Eleanor Marie Robertson, October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA) is a bestselling American author of more than 209 romance novels. She writes as J.D. Robb for the "In Death" series, and has also written under the pseudonym Jill March. Additionally, some of her works were published in the UK as Sarah Hardesty.
Nora Roberts was the first author to be inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. As of 2011, her novels had spent a combined 861 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, including 176 weeks in the number-one spot. Over 400 million copies of her books are in print, including 12 million copies sold in 2005 alone.
Eleanor Marie Robertson was born on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland, the only daughter and the youngest of five children. She is of Irish descent as both of her parents have Irish ancestors, and has described herself as "an Irishwoman through and through". Her family were avid readers, so books were always important in her life. Although she had always made up stories in her head, Roberts did not write as a child, other than essays for school. She does claim to have "told lies. Really good ones -- some of which my mother still believes." She attended a Catholic school and credits the nuns with instilling in her a sense of discipline. During her sophomore year in high school, Roberts transferred to a local public school, Montgomery Blair High School, where she met her first husband, Ronald Aufdem-Brinke. They married, against her parents' wishes, in 1968, as soon as she had graduated from high school.
Sam Roberts (born October 2, 1974) is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock singer-songwriter, whose 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition, became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.
Born in Westmount three weeks after his parents immigrated to Montreal from South Africa, Sam Roberts grew up on Cedar Avenue in Pointe-Claire, where his family moved when he was five years old. He attended St. Edmund Elementary School in Beaconsfield, Loyola High School in N.D.G. and John Abbott College in Ste. Anne de Bellevue before graduating from McGill University in Montreal. Roberts formed the band that eventually became known as William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they never broke through to a national audience and broke up in 1999 after failing to release an album. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

Roberts had become one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, topping the Hollywood Reporter's annual "power list" of top-earning female stars from 2005 to 2006. Her fee for 1990's Pretty Woman was $300,000; in 2003, she was paid an unprecedented $25 million for her role in Mona Lisa Smile (2003).

Four days of rain
And I'm feelin' OK
Sun back again
It's a beautiful day
Fallin' the water has
Pounded my eye
Sun in the window's
Got me feelin' just fine
Feelin' good, well I knew I would
Whatever I do
Feel so high and I don't know why
But that's all right too
Walkin' around
In a good old town
Just a-thinkin' of you
I hope you think of me too
Breeze in my face
And the blue sky is clear
A beautiful mornin', Lord
I wish you were here
Diggin' it easy
I'm takin' it slow
Enjoyin' the sunshine
Enjoyin' the show
Feelin' good, well I knew I would
Whatever I do
Feel so high and I don't know why
But that's all right too
Walkin' around
In a good old town
Just a-thinkin' of you
I hope you think of me too
Feelin' good, well I knew I would
Whatever I do
Feel so high and I don't know why
But that's all right too
Walkin' around
In a good old town
Just a-thinkin' of you

Hey Colorado it was not so long ago
I left your mountain to try life on the road
Now I'm finished with that race it was much too fast a pace
And I think I know my place Colorado I wanna come home
There was a woman but I left her far behind
I could have loved her if I only had the time
But I stopped along the way just long enough to say
Lord I'd really really like to stay
But my lady knows I've got to go
I was too young to know what I've done
I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong
Hey Colorado is it too late to change my mind
I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find
The way to come back home
Oh I've been so very long alone
Roberts
There's a north wind blowing
And a ring around the moon
And I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know I'm gonna find out soon
The storm is growin'
And the sky is lookin' strange
Cold, cold wind keep blowin'
Whoa, that's a wind of change
Can't you hear the thunder
And the howling of the wind
Baby, don't it make you wonder
When the changes don't begin
I don't know why
But there's a tide turnin' the sea is dark
And there's a sky burnin'
I only know there's no returnin' to you
The storm is growin'
The sky is lookin' strange
Cold, cold wind keep blowin'
Whoa, that's the wind of change
Winds of change
Winds of change
Roberts
Tryin' not to lose myself
in the women and the wine
Tryin' not to change my point of view
Hopin' I can keep my feet
above the waterline
Even after all my dreams come true
In a sea of motion
Water edged with foam
Clingin' to the things I used to know
Swallowed by an ocean
Sinking like a stone
But I'm drownin' in the undertow
Tryin' not to lose myself
in the glitter and the gold
Tryin' not to change the way I see
Hopin' I can keep my eyes
on things that stay the same
'Cause I cannot keep my hold
Even on the things I know are real
Caught upon the waters
of some dark and nameless sea
Whoa let the current carry me
Tryin' not to lose myself
in the fortune and the fame
Tryin' not to change the way I see
Hopin' I can keep my eyes
on the things that stay the same
Roberts
After I say I'm sorry
What am I supposed to say
All of my explanations don't explain it anyway
Nothin's gonna change the way you feel
I don't have to prove my dreams are real
Even to you
All I can see is anger
in your answers and your eyes
I can be sad and sorry but I can't apologize
Sad because I lose another dream
Sorry 'cause you don't know what I mean
and you say you do
If you only knew
If you only knew
You and your smug suspicions
Reading between the lines
Drawing your own conclusions and concluding
that they're mine
Don't you know I'd change if I could
cause it was always you
Roberts
Close your weary eyes and drift away, it's all right
I'll be here until the break of day brings the light
I can sing a lullaby they sang for me when I was just your size
Just a little poem with a melody to shut those sleepy eyes.
Singing dolphins over the ocean
Where it's clear and it's deep
Help the waves with your gentle motion
Rock this child to sleep.
May sailing ships and secrets fill your dreams with delight
Anything you want is yours for free for the night
I won't let no bad dreams come and bother you
Just put your trust and me
I'll be standing by to keep a watch on you
While you're away at sea.
Singing dolphins over the ocean
Where it's clear and it's deep
Help the waves with your gentle motion
Rock this child to sleep.
You got to rock this child
You got to rock this child to sleep
You got to rock-a-bye my baby
