The Saturdays Prepared to do Battle with Boy Bands
THE Saturdays say they’re armed and good to go into chart battle with the new super-charged boy bands. Since the feisty five-piece were last in the reckoning, Robbie Williams, thirty six, has rejoined Take That, JLS have scored a massive No one and The Wanted rose to the apex of the bill from nowhere. But the women Una Healy, 28, Mollie King, twenty-three, Vanessa White, twenty-one, Frankie Sandford and Rochelle Wiseman, both twenty-two are odds-on to score their first number 1 this weekend with new tune Missing You.Mollie told me: as far as I am concerned girls are dominating and will for an extended period of time.
The fellows have still got a good way to go. I am an exceedingly girl power person and love Katy Perry and Girls out loud. When Girls out loud return to the scene which will hopefully be shortly then there’ll be totally no competition. And the perky popstrels are upping the stakes by stealing concepts from the late King Of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Una, whose glam crew release new album News the week after next, exposed : We are always having dreams about what we could do as a band. I was watching Michael Jackson’s This Is It yesterday evening and that would’ve been one hell of a show. Like MJ showed, it should be all about the vision. He will not use them now, so perhaps we will be able to pinch his ideas. She added : it does not feel just like we are anywhere near where we would like to be. Our journey is only halfway thru. We have already started writing songs for album 4 and our plan is to make at least 5 albums.
In the meantime , the news the girls are about to land their first number 1 single is a sublime two-fingered salute to their doubters. Mollie asserted : We read a tale about our next single being make or break and how things looked very bad for us. Not one of us knew where that had come from, particularly as our last single Ego had been in the Top forty for something mad like half a year. As you can clearly see, we are really in a fairly good place. There is not any stopping us. Go, girls.
