I prefer the Saturdays but then they're both dodgy girlbands that can rarely hold a decent tune when singing live.

Ok, maybe I'm biased. Seriously though, I like The Saturdays, I really do. I just don't think they have that extra 'thing' which Girls Aloud have. All the above singles, while they might not be completely amazing, all have something about them which I love.

I do like the singles The Saturdays have released (except Work and Forever Is Over) but I just don't like them quite as much as the singles Girls Aloud have released.

I prefer The Saturdays to Girls Aloud, but largely because of Vanessa and Una's voices. The remaing three are just there to make up the numbers (especially Frankie!)

I prefer The Saturdays. Better singers, better harmonies and better songs. They also interact with their fans a lot better than Girls Aloud.

Don't like the Saturdays at all. Haven't liked their songs and I think the group lacks charisma - it's hard to put my finger on it but I just can't warm to them as a group.

I think GA are much better, with better songs and more of the likeability factor.

Absolutely zero competition - GA win hands down if only for "THe Loving Kind" - ace video and fab singing. Nicola sounds sooooooooooooooo sexy in it.

I didn't even realise The Saturdays had had so many singles out and I haven't heard a single one !

I do like some of GA's stuff, it's catchy enough but not so much that I'd buy anything. I'm not a big girl group lover (or boy group lover either for that matter) but I would support a group if I genuinely liked them.

Yes The Sats are sooooo much better

It would kind of be a more balanced argument if you hadn't already stated that The Saturdays are 'soooooo much better.'

Girls Aloud are more succesful than The Saturdays, that is undeniable. And I personally do not see The Sats equalling the same career in the music industry that GA have had. I think that GA have firmly sealed their place in the world of music, and it would take something huge to stop people buying their albums and going to see there shows.

Having said this, The Saturdays have done very very well to be able to get their careers off to such a good start. But, I do believe it is down to GA that The Saturdays are popular with The Sats being given there break supporting GA on the mammoth arena tour back in 2008.

The Sats have got some great catchy pop tunes, and they look great as a band. But at this stage you can't really compare them to Girls Aloud.

But back to the question:

Sound of the Underground or If this is Love=SOTU.
No Good Advice or Up=NGA
Life got Cold or Issues=LGC
Jump or Just Cant get Enough=JCGE
The Show or Work=TS
Love Machine or Forever is Over=FIO

They just have a rockier edge to them over the Sats first 2, which are both good songs but I prefer edgier, rocky riffs and lyrics to the more school disco Sats stuff.

Life Got Cold (Lyrically far better IMHO and better sounding)
Just Can't Get Enough (They're both as good as each other really but this is personally a bit better)
The Show (Totally inventive and thrilling to listen. The Cahill Mix of Work is better tho IMO)
Love Machine (one of GAs greatest singles VS the Saturdays worst)

I dont like the saturdays at all - i completely agree with you about not warming to them. Girls Aloud all the way - the sooner the saturdays disppear the better

I like them both a lot. At the moment though, The Sats have that edge for me. I think they just seem much more fun, they seem to enjoy themselves more, and I think they're better singers.

Though I preferred GA's tour to The Sats, though maybe that's because one was at Wembley and one was at my local theatre.
