I just pre-ordered my signed copy of What About Us, so excited! I went on itunes and saw that the single on there isn't going to have Somebody Else's Life on it so I knew I had to have the physical version because that acoustic song is amazeballs!
Does the CD single have Somebody Else's Life on it? In that case I might have to pre-order but I don't know if they deliver to Ireland.

Yes it does have the b-side on it, I'm pretty sure they deliver to Ireland, they had international options on there I think.

And is the b-side the acoustic or dance version? I'm going to check it out.

It's the acoustic. I think the proper dance version will be on the album.

I just found it online. It says the CD single is UK only Is there any other place that sells CD singles and delivers to Ireland?

I quite like What About Us, but I don't really know why they didn't release Higher as their first US single.

I'm not really a fan of this euro-dance-pop thing.

I'll have to see if there's another way of getting it - legally of course

I watched Chasing The Saturdays episode 1 this morning

Was quite good. I loved 24/7 back in 2010 as that was when I was a big Saturdays fan. So I wanted to see what CTS was like. Shame its not an hour like 24/7 was but I am looking forward to the other episodes! As the coming up bit at end was quite good I have series linked it on Sky + now

Just saw their new song on youtube. Actually got to say its ok. I love the Sean paul version really do.

1 Question Who was the smart guy who thought it should be released over here and the orgianl over there.

Itg would have been better to Do tthe Orginal one over here, cause i can't see many buying the Sp one over here unlike the states.

But yeah well done girls. Who knew they could dance lol.

The management probably. I don't really know. I'm not a huge fan of the song but I prefer the Saturdays-only version to the Sean Paul version. And why is the acoustic version of Somebody Else's Life not available for pre-order with WAU on iTunes? Strange really because What Am I Gonna Do, Ladykiller, So Stupid and Turn Myself In (B-sides to If This Is Love, All Fired Up, My Heart Takes Over and 30 Days) were all available on iTunes.

Una's kid could do better then their management tbh. Management just in it for themselves tbh as long as they make that money i guess.

She could A group of business students could also do better. My undergrad degree was in business so maybe I could do quite well too.

Just heard the Sean Paul version in full. Absolutely awful and not needed. I wish they'd stop adding so-called-big-names to their songs in the hope of more airplay/success, it just doesn't work.

He adds nothing to the song. I don't understand this whole rent-a-rapper thing at all. It's one thing if they actually add something to the song, but in most cases they don't. And some bright spark thought that version would sell well in the UK? I doubt it somehow.

TBH like i said, i like his version better. Maybe cause i like him. The yanks like him too, so it woukld have been much better to release taht version in the states.

Even with out SP the song is not that hot and it is not what the Sats are about. Also they used too much Auto tune than needed.

Mimi i agree they need to stop with the big names, they need to show what they can do.

"One thing i hate is the mediocre attempt at dialect the groups sing in throughout the track; "When the Saturdays try to emulate island tones, it sounds a little awkward and they start out like that right off the bat, but go in and out of the undistinguished dialect throughout the song."

And i had to agree.

Thankfully Imagine FM are playing the version without Sean Paul. They played Higher senza Flo Rida, and usually play versions of songs avoiding the featured artists.

She's right. I thought it sounded a bit fake really. Why didn't they just stick to singing in their own accents? The other thing I don't like about the song is the chorus. It doesn't seem to go anywhere and it's not as catchy as Up or Higher. Why oh why didn't they release Higher as their first US single? It would have done really well. Cher Lloyd didn't release a new song when she went over there first. She released Want U Back and it did quite well.

What ABout Us already at #98 on the Uk Airplay Chart

They'd be wise to push the release forward as now it's going to peak early I think

EDIT; They're also at #15 on the UK TV Play

Anyone else see the most recent episode of Chasing The Saturdays? I caught up with it this morning.

Thought it was quite sweet though also cringe-worthy how Vanessa & Frankie were constantly trying to set Mollie up on a date. Leave the girl be!

Rochelle's mass spend on the furniture was brilliant, though my favourite bit was mummy Una stepping in and telling her to cancel everything.

I honestly think that the snippets of Not Giving Up On Love sound amazing and it actually has a proper chorus! I love the Saturdays but What About Us just seems a little bit flat.

I gave up watching Chasing The Saturdays. I didn't even watch last week's. I watched the first episode and caught a bit of the second episode. To me the whole show smacks of desperation.
