The Saturdays- Here Standing- (3rd Single From Wordshaker)
Just been on Buzzjack and it says this is the 3rd single so do you think it's a good choice? I think it should have been Wordshaker or Open Up! However, it is a good song and deserves a good video.

If this is true, I like the song but they should have gone with One Shot. They're making bad single choices.

Hmmm could Here Standing become 'Wordshaker's Issues?

It won't be released at the right time of year though. It's quite a wintry song so should be released between November - February. They should have released Ego as first single in August, Here Standing as second single in early December and then One Shot in March/April.

I love the saturdays, but at this rate I can see them getting dropped

Demi Lavto, Jonas Brothers and Miley hardly ever appear in our charts and sophie ellis bextor hasn't been around for ages. The Saturdays are the only act that fascination have to work with. And Girls Can't Catch but I can't see them doing any better |

I really hope they don't get dropped.
I think Wordshaker was released too soon...it should have been released around now. With the first single not being FIO, I don't mind it as a song, didn't like it when I first heard it. One Shot should be their new single, not Here Standing, though it's a good track...though not for release imo.

Great choice. It'll sell more albums 'cos it's a ballad.

It's more like they've got no other acts. Girls Aloud are on a break and Cheryl's latest single was released last month so her next one will be a couple of months away.

Getting back on topic, having just listened to it the chorus reminds me awfully of "no air"

It had to be released really given how bad the album sales are. I can't see anything else selling the album except this song.

I would have preferred if they either released "Lose Control" or "Open up" as their next song... "One shot" I think sounds too similar to Ego to release out, and "Here standing" is not the catchiest tune, I think "Open up" is a better slower song to release.

They should have released Denial. Here Standing is a bit boring, IMO.

It's a great album with lots of good songs, I'm quite surprised they chose this one though...good lyrics but the song in general is quite boring. 2am, Denial, Open Up and Not Good Enough are all much better imo.

Logically this is the best chance. Ballads sell singles (Chasing Lights didn't peak until after Issues was released) and the only ballads on the album are Here Standing, Denial, Deeper and Not Good Enough. Denial/Deeper are nowhere near strong enough nor very original and NGE has more of an album feel about it, although it's one of my favourite tracks on the album. It's very marmite as well.
Here Standing is the best choice possible. If 'Ego' can't sell an album then neither will Wordshaker or One Shot although they are fantastic songs. HS will hopefully get people to buy the album and then if they get a 4th single they should, imo, release Lose Control as the last single from The Sats until hopefully mid 2011. |

I hope they don't get dropped, I love The Saturdays. "Here Standing" is a good song, and okay as a 3rd single. "Ego" should've been lead single, with "Wordshaker" as the second.
And some people mentioned "Girl's Can't Catch". I love them too

This is their last and desperate attempt imo. This single is being pushed to save them after album sales that cannot give them a 3rd album. It would waste Polydor money. If this doesn't perform then they are history.
50k for an album that has been out for 3 months is truly horriffic. |

Everyone thought Issues was a mistake- me included. It did very well... I'm sure Hs will do the same and get the album selling.

Hopefully it will do and Issues and bring the album back into the top 40. Then they might be given a chance to release One Shot
