The Saturdays have finally made a video for their latest single (first single ever in the US), titled What About Us. While the UK version of the song has Sean Paul on it, the US version features only the girls. And while I am a big fan of their previous work, I am not so sure about this one. The song is ok, but it is nowhere near the brilliant All Fired Up or many of their previous hits. Since they are making a debut in the US this year, I think they should have released something from their previous album rather then this overly auto-tuned piece. And just like the song, the clip for it is nothing spectacular. It's main purpose is probably to show they have made it to US, thus the video was shot in L.A. It shows the girls at a pool, playing pool and dancing on a football field. So American, right? I am hoping their reality show on E!, Chasing the Saturdays, will give them the push they need to succeed in US, because they definitely deserve to be known worldwide.
Grupa The Saturdays je danas izdala video za svoj najnoviji singl What About Us. Ova pesma bi trebalo da upozna americku publiku sa devojkama koje su u Velikoj Britaniji imale vec jedanaest top-10 singlova. U britanskoj verziji pesme se moze cuti i rep Sean Paul-a, dok su devojke spremne da bez njegove pomoci osvoje Ameriku. Iako sam fan grupe, pesma, kao i klip koji ide uz nju nisu ostavili neki utisak na mene. Pesma je previse autotjunovana, te se ne mogu istaci snazni vokali koje poseduju clanice grupe. Video klip je snimljen u Los Andjelesu i u njemu nema bilo sta sto bi Saturdays izdvojilo od mnogih drugih bendova koji su pokusali da se probiju na americko trziste. Mislim da je bilo pametnije da su za prvi americki singl uzele neki od singlova koji su im doneli popularnost u Britaniji, kao npr. All Fired Up ili Notorious. U svakom slucaju, video je tu, pesma se vec vrti na radiu, a 20 januara ce Amerika imati priliku da upozna Saturdays zahvaljujuci rijalitiju koji krece na E! televiziji. Nadam se da ce im rijaliti pomoci da zadobiju nove americke fanove i da se probiju na Billboard listu.
