If you were in charge of the girls what would you do with them. Like how would you dress them?. What types of songs would you have them sing? What kind of promo would you have them do? Who would be your lead singer and would you keep the current line up or would you sack any member and replace her?

If I were there boss. I would have them all dressed in really sexy outfits like mini dresses an skinny Ts and jeans or mini skirts. They would sing more songs like Forever Is Over and Ego. I'd have them on every tv show I could get them on. My lead singer would be Frankie. I would keep all the current members.

I don't believe they have appeared on that flop, the Alan S*itmarsh show. Ffs get them on shows their target audience actually watch!!!

That would look amazing with a big pregnant bump

Ok, I would give them roles to suit their talents, Vanessa would be main vocal, Una and Rochelle would be lead vocal, Frankie and Mollie would be vocalists and dancers.
Outfit wise, I'd keep it the same I think, their style works for them.
However, when it comes to single choices I would almost completely change a lot of songs they chose, the first album was good, Wordshaker was a mess! For that album I'd of had Ego as the lead single, followed by One Shot and Here Standing.
Headlines was fine overall but I would switch Higher to the lead single position, and then have them release Puppet THEN Missing You.
On Your Radar would have been almost totally different if it were me, first single All Fired Up, lead single Get Ready Get Set, 3rd single Faster, 4th would have been Do What You Wany With Me and 5th single would have been White Lies.
Promo wise I'd have them performing at every possible event, also I would focus on shows not necessarily in their demographic in an attempt to attract different listeners, have them go on regular radio tours and have them do a ton of acoustic sets to show of their talents, also, I'd get them better choreography, sometimes they look a mess on stage.

Tricky question. The one thing I would emphasise is promotion. They need to promote their music more often as this will help sales. I would make sure they got slots on big shows like The X Factor and The Voice (even though I hate them) and that a new album/release was well advertised. I would also encourage them to go back to the pop (Chasing Lights) sound and image (bring back the coloured dresses ) and record and release more songs like Up and Higher. My lead singer would be Rochelle or Una. As for the single releases if I had been the boss I would have released:

Chasing Lights -> Up -> Work -> Why Me, Why Now -> Chasing Lights (title track) -> Set Me Off
Wordshaker -> Ego -> Lose Control (to tie in with St Trinian's 2 as it was on the soundtrack) -> Here Standing -> One Shot
Headlines -> Higher -> Puppet -> Karma
On Your Radar -> All Fired Up -> Faster -> Get Ready, Get Set -> Last Call -> I Say Ok

Their debut US release would have been Higher ft Flo Rida, followed by the motown version of Why Me, Why Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZ7h1PoVNo). The Comic Relief single would never have happened.

But look at all big groups at the moment. Girls Aloud, One Direction, JLS, etc. None of them have leads.

• Get the individual colours back.
• Make music like the Headlines EP.
• Get them a fashion line.
• Formation would always have Vanessa in the middle for performances.
• I'd get Frankie private singing lessons too
• Get Una on The Voice Ireland as a mentor.

I think that's it...maybe a Nicki Minaj collab too, to get a big US hit.

If This is Love was a great debut, it introduced the UK to The Saturdays without over doing it. I would have launched their career in Europe and the States with 'Up' and developed a fan base with follow up singles 'Work', 'Lies' & a ballad which would either be 'Chasing Lights' or 'Fall'.

Whether or not The States and Europe would have liked the Saturdays I still would have had the lead single from their second album released worldwide, which would have been. 'Ego'. One Shot would follow and 'Forever Is Over' for third. Higher would be saved and used as the lead single for the third album. And most of 'The Radar' would not have existed, I would have them concentrating on good pop and not generic dance.

As for their image, I would want their own idenity to come through in their clothing. A more natural look altogether will gain a good fanbase amoung young girls. Although i would defiantly have 'sexed them up' for the 'Work' & 'One Shot' videos.

Singles released would have been

Chasing Lights

#1 - If This Is Love (UK ONLY)
#2 - Up (WORLDWIDE DEBUT)
#3 - Work
#4 - Chasing lights or Fall
#5 - Lies

Wordshaker

#1 - Ego
#2 - One Shot
#3 - Forever Is Over

Radar

#1 - Higher
#2 - Onwards would be new songs


If I were there boss. I would have them all dressed in really sexy outfits like mini dresses an skinny Ts and jeans or mini skirts. They would sing more songs like Forever Is Over and Ego. I'd have them on every tv show I could get them on. My lead singer would be Frankie. I would keep all the current members.

Frankie the lead singer. Your not serious????

Not fan but this comeback single is quite weak. They need more hits like Up and Ego,catchy fun tunes.America could cost them UK market;if t hasnt already.

In answer to OP,get them lads mags shoots.They are too boring,like lIttle Mix for blue collar workers

i always considered Nadine the lead of GA up until Cheryl became "The nations princess" I used to think many GA tracks especially album songs were solo Nadine songs until then.

JLS i`d say Aston & Marvin take lead Aston more
Harry or Liam in 1D

You've just named two people for each of them. Point proved, none of them have a definite lead singer.

That's pretty hilarious

One Direction have Harry as their lead singer (though most recently going more towards Zayn) and JLS have Aston singing everything and the rest being background singers
