Also I have a digital spy account (which I use like once every 5 months) so should I post the link to this forum on there or not?
It could gain more buzz and people but then would I be allowed to though?
Please tell me if I should or shouldn't?
Anyway back to the list, forever is over should be higher but at least it's not 17 like Buzzjack, JCGE is not their worst but the rest seem about right though (maybe ITIL and notorious a tiny bit higher though)
Posted by: Martyn 8th August 2014, 12:32 PM
I am liking how Missing You & My Heat Takes Over are in the top half of their ranking. Even if Not Giving Up should be higher.

DS is full of miserable buggers, so, no.

Why is Notorious so low????
IRRELEVANT RANKING.
Posted by: DoggySwami 8th August 2014, 01:21 PM
Not Giving Up and What Are You Waiting For? should be higher.
Posted by: Satsfan7 8th August 2014, 01:27 PM
Work and Missing You should be in their bottom 5
Posted by: Martyn 8th August 2014, 01:32 PM
This opinion is invalid.
Posted by: April 8th August 2014, 02:27 PM
I know. I used to post on there, but you can't even make a joke without everyone taking you seriously/attacking you.
Posted by: Ultraviolence 8th August 2014, 02:31 PM
I know, it's like find the not miserable and not overreactive person. I think I posted like twice in the forums and a few on the articles (I remember I had about 5 people going mad at me because I said Lily Allen was good)
Posted by: shadow2009 8th August 2014, 06:08 PM
I'm sorry but I have a very low opinion of anybody who doesn't love 'Not Giving Up'. 
Posted by: DoggySwami 8th August 2014, 06:26 PM
I would love to see the faces of the casual listeners when they get to the 13th track of the GH and think "THIS IS f***ING AMAZING!"
Posted by: J▼hnkm 8th August 2014, 06:30 PM
Just Can't Get Enough really does get such an unfair rap. It's NOT THAT BAD people. Yes it's fairly pointless as covers go, but then aren't almost all charity cover versions and to be honest in a world where Walk This Way (GA/Sugababes version) exists then it comes off as AMAZING.

11. If This Is Love
12. What Are You Waiting For
13. Notorious
14. Not Giving Up
15. Forever Is Over
16. Gentleman
17. 30 Days
18. Just Can't Get Enough
Just Can't Enough gets too much flack. It's a great song to workout to.
If This Is Love and Forever Is Over are their 2 worst tracks for me, with Notorious following in 3rd place
Posted by: Simon. 8th August 2014, 06:39 PM
Gentlemen should be last, easily 
Posted by: J▼hnkm 8th August 2014, 06:53 PM
Yes, absolutely nonredeemable.
Posted by: Totto 8th August 2014, 07:02 PM
I love Gentleman 
Posted by: Simon. 8th August 2014, 07:10 PM
I just don't get it
Why is a Gentleman so 1999? 
how did they work all this mumbo jumbo out?

I think that is focusing on how gentleman have changed and gentleman aren't as they used to be, thus hard to find.
& to be fair, the girls didn't write the song so not their lyrics

Fair enough, it's just too random for me think that's my issue which I need to get over
Still, when they or their managers first saw the song I don't get why they thought 'Ooh the perfect follow up for their first number 1'

I thought it was random at first but I've grown to like the song as a song, not as a follow up
In terms of a follow up Gentleman was recorded towards the end of their stay in America, so it's a good job it wasn't released over there. Imagine The Saturdays as a laughing stock internationally
Posted by: mr_aly 8th August 2014, 09:45 PM
I actually quite like some of the lyrics in 'Gentleman', there are a few quoteable one-liners in there!
But no, that was definitely the biggest mistake of their career and what I believe really finished them off.

They've clearly been finished off before since they have three babies
Posted by: Joe. 8th August 2014, 11:30 PM
Broken record but Aly is right. They made many, many mistakes in their time but Gentleman was their worst and biggest. I genuinely believe if NGU, Disco Love or even Wildfire had replaced it as a release things would be very different right now.
Posted by: goldfish 9th August 2014, 01:18 AM
Gentleman was the first single that they did s**t promo of. I blame that more than I blame the song

The most iconic one : He already had the milk so why would he go buy the cow?
'I've let your taste my rainbow, you could have at least been faithful' is both brilliant and cringe-worthy. Love it.

I only found out a few weeks ago that #BuyTheCow was a trend on Twitter last year because of Gentleman
Agreed with Joe/Aly about Gentleman being a mistake in following up WAU, but I do love the song
Posted by: allfiredup93 9th August 2014, 08:04 AM
MHTO in the top 10!

Perfect top 3 *.*
Posted by: seantobewild 9th August 2014, 10:00 AM
I'm quite surprised What About Us is so low?!
Posted by: Rabbit Heart 9th August 2014, 10:39 AM
Why is Disco Love so well loved? It's alright but it pales when compared to their other hits. Better than WAU? No.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 9th August 2014, 12:04 PM
Pleased at HIGHER winning, it's by far their best singles, but EWWW NO at the the other 2 in the top 3. Issues is one of their very worst.
Posted by: seantobewild 9th August 2014, 12:09 PM
Cameron: Because it's Donna Summer all year long
Nah, but seriously, it's cheesey pop and everyone secretly loves that kinda' music
YES, FINALLY! Awful lyrics! I'm sure people will be confused whether to stab or kiss us for hating it
Or was it slap and not stab?
Posted by: mr_aly 9th August 2014, 12:12 PM
I'm also dismayed at 'Issues' being that high, but mostly decent selections other than that.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 9th August 2014, 01:02 PM
Issues is bland to the max, it's got an overly saccharine melody and also the lyrics amount to little more than a hill of beans.
Posted by: seantobewild 9th August 2014, 04:42 PM
Agreed, Work is the same so, so boring in terms of lyrics and doesn't really go anywhere 
Posted by: JSG 9th August 2014, 04:52 PM
Omg you the only other person on here that doesn't like work I think. It should never have been a single let alone on the album 
Posted by: Cameron 9th August 2014, 05:21 PM
Issues is SLAYING!
Posted by: Liаm 9th August 2014, 05:26 PM
Definitely the right winner, Higher is incredible! Up would be a close second but I'm glad it was top 5 anyway. I do love it but I think WAU is about right where it is actually!
What is this Work hate though, such a pop stomper <3 I won't respond to the Issues hate becsuse in fairness much as I do adore the song myself I can see why others would see the song in a negative light.
Posted by: seantobewild 9th August 2014, 05:36 PM
I can see why people like it but I don't get the hype
The artwork was alright, the music video is a bit bland and the lyrics are repetitive, for a CL post-album single, I'd have gone with Set Me Off!
Posted by: Ultraviolence 9th August 2014, 10:48 PM
So happy issues was top 3. Digital spy got something right, adore that song
Posted by: Hurricane 9th August 2014, 10:55 PM
Agreed.
Still one of their best years after.
