Just Can't Get Enough" was covered by the girl band The Saturdays. It was one of the official Comic Relief Singles for 2009. On 8 March 2009, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 2, where it peaked, being beaten by Flo Rida after being at number 1 at the midweek count, thus being the first Comic Relief single not to chart at number 1 in 14 years. However, it gave The Saturdays their highest chart placing ever, outpeaking and outselling the original track, plus marked their fourth consecutive top ten hit in the UK. The success of this single was later matched by "Forever is Over".

 

Frankie Sandford and Una Healy take the first verse. While Rochelle Wiseman takes both bridges and backing vocals in the middle 8. Mollie King who does back up in all bridges, sings the second verse with Vanessa White who sings the adlibds and takes lead on the middle 8. She also backs up Rochelle in the second verse. It was also released on Chasing Lights Deluxe.

The radio edit of JCGE was soooooo much better than the video version it's unreal.

I really don't get the love for Karma. It's good but nothing special. Puppet is much better, and Work should be top five.

Didn't vote for this, but "Up" is by favourite Sats song to date, now closely followed by "Notorious"! :kink:

My favourite album is Chasing Lights and I do think every track bar two are brilliant! "Set Me Off", "Lies", "Keep Her"...

I was very underwhelmed with Wordshaker but, contrary to the most of you, I think "Forever Is Over" is great and I do love to belt it out once in a while.

 

My Top 5 overall would be:

 

1. Up

2. Notorious

3. Issues

4. Chasing Lights

5. Higher

Work :wub: My fave single of theirs, was gutted it only made #22! :( Fantastic pop song.

Missing You" is a song performed by British girl group The Saturdays, taken from their first mini album, Headlines!. Written by Alexander Kronlund and Lukas Hilbert with production from Hilbert and James Reynolds, the song was released as the collection's lead single on 5 August as a digital download and on 9 August as a CD single. The lyrics centre around being in a relationship where the passion has died, but still being addicted to the love that used to exist. It features an electropop production, incorporating elements of trance and synthpop. The group described the song as "an updated version of their sound" and was fun to record and experiment with. "Missing You is more out-there than that rest of [Headlines!].

 

The single received mostly negative reception from critics who criticised the decision to release "Missing You" as a single, for using auto-tuned vocals and the song's production, which lacked energy. An accompanying music video features scenes of the group dancing on a beach in Málaga, Spain. It charted in Ireland at number six but in the UK it faired better, reaching number three only to be beaten by Eminem and Flo Rida respectively. It is the second time that the group have lost out to the US rapper in chart battle although it is their fourth top-ten hit in Ireland and seventh in the UK

 

Upon digital release the single debuted in Ireland at number forty-two.Then upon CD release, "Missing You" became the group's fourth top-ten hit by peaking at number six.It is the group's joint-best charting single in Ireland and the second single to chart at number six, after "Just Can't Get Enough" reached the same position back in March 2009.On 14 August 2010, the single debuted in Scotland at number two.Then a day later, "Missing You" debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart,[13] despite being tipped to take the number one spot according to mid week figures.It was beaten by Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" and "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna, which respectively took the number one and number two positions. It also entered the UK Download Chart at number three.It is the second single by the group to be beaten by Flo Rida in a battle for the number one chart position although, it is their seventh top-ten UK hit.

 

Missing You" received generally negative comments from the critics who criticised the use of Auto-Tuned vocals and said that the production was lacking, making the choice to release it is a single confusing. Ollie Meakings of TeenToday felt that the song fell short of what was needed to help them "reclaim their home near the top of the charts." He said "It needed to sound big, with obnoxious production, great vocals and an actual melody ... Instead it’s a quite-pretty but ultimately limp and lacklustre effort ... [with] some terrible autotone ... and a trance-y backdrop that never quite reaches the places it promises." Natalie Edwarss of The Daily Star agreed calling the single dull. "HAVE you ever been tempted by a scrumptious cake topped with lots of whipped cream and sparkley sprinkles? Then as you take a bite you realise it’s actually a bit stale and nowhere as delicious as its appearance promised ... take a listen to The Saturday’s new single ... and you’ll realise exactly what we mean. All the ingredients are there – and there’s no denying their vocal ability – but it fails at the last hurdle by making a lasting impression."Tony Falls of Virgin Media was also highly critical of the song awarding it zero out of ten. "Never have a group got by with so little a contribution to music, but so big a contribution to rolling back feminist progress. 'Missing You' sounds like an album track. Not something you’d hear as a comeback track that would uplift your lost consciousness about the girls’ disappearance. The idea of shooting the video in Spain for this type of song is a nice choice, but Frankie is overly tanned. Please kill me. A vacuous set of reviews for a vacuous group of girls."

 

However Fraser McAlpine gave the song a mixed review, awarding it three out of five stars. He pointed out that fans of the group would be divided on the song. "Something hidden deep in the song's DNA is engagingly bad, or worryingly good, and it's got everyone's quality alarms jangling like a wind-chime in a hurricane ... [There is a moment of] appreciation for the bit where they sing "begging to get back together" ... It's slow, moody, ponderous, a little bit boring at times, but when it gets to that bit, it's ... the good bit." He also called the song a "grower"[5] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review saying, "'Missing You' is a post-break-up song with a modishly rave-tinged production... and after a few spins the chorus wiggles into your brain like a tapeworm that missed the turning marked 'digestive tract' ... The charts? Sorted. Your hearts? Well, that's a matter of personal preference of course, but, the odd rocky patch excepted, they've had ours since 'Up'.

Before We Break The Top 5..

Ergh. This is higher than 'Open Up' & 'Lose Control'?? BLASPHEMY!

 

Thank God 'Karma' finished above it. It's not a bad song as such, it's just it doesn't deserve the love that it gets imo. I much, much, much prefer 'Karma' (obviously). I also find 'Issues' underrated and 'Work' overrated (doesn't make sense, I know! Considering one went on to sell 250k+ and the other just 100k+ (give or take)) amongst fans on here, anyway. Them two should have swapped. :(

 

Also, I do not despise 'Just Can't Get Enough'! What was the rating I gave it?! :o

"Higher" is a song performed by British girl group The Saturdays taken from their mini album, Headlines!. Written by Ina Wroldsen and co-written & produced by Arnthor Birgisson, the song confirmed to be the mini-album's second single when it was released on 1 November 2010 by Fascination Records. In preparation for its release, the single was was remixed to feature new vocals from American rapper Flo Rida after the rapper's single "Club Can't Handle Me" beat the group's previous single, "Missing You" to number one; it was the second time they had lost the position to Flo Rida. Rochelle Wiseman jokingly said that the group would never get a number one until they collaborated with the rapper.

 

Flo Rida personally offered the collaboration for both his and the group's fans. Critics generally praised the song as the strongest offering from Headlines!, for being infectious, catchy and feisty, although it received negative reception for overproduction. An accompanying music video for the song was shot in Los Angeles at Fox Studios, at the end of August 2010, and features the girls dancing through a New York traffic jam. The single remix of the song premiered on 16 September 2010 through Capital FM while a new version of the video featuring the rapper premiered on 9 October 2010. "Higher" was successful, peaking in the top-ten in the Scottish and UK singles charts as well as top-fifteen in Ireland.

 

Higher" on the whole received positive reviews from most critics who praised the song for being infectious and catchy. Ryan Love of Digital Spy said "The synth-laden 'Higher' has become an instant fan fave following recent live performances and, with its infectious chorus and super-sassy lyrics, it's not hard to see why. Una Healy's middle 8 isn't quite as thrilling on record as it is on stage, but don't let the ill-advised use of Auto-Tune spoil this moment of close-to pop perfection."Gavin Martin of The Mirror agreed saying "they assert a more serious side of their personality" with "the guitar-sprung Higher". Sarah-Louise James of The Daily Star called the song "catchy".[12] When the new version premiered Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said "Over a bed of hawkish sirens and thumping electro beats, Frankie and co. inform us that no man is gonna hold them down... the sassy lyrics, perky production and a double chorus that sounds like it was recorded on a trampoline easily puts this track into pole position as our new favourite Sats single."

 

A review from OK! magazine said "Headlines! also includes 'Higher', a song that proves the girls have developed a feisty edge!". Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music was also praising the song when he reviewed Headlines!. After referring to "Missing You"'s inability to top the UK Singles Chart he said "[it's a shame] because in quality confections like 'Higher', and the languid 'Died in Your Eyes', there’s ample proof that the band’s heartbroken girls-together thing still has a lot going for it."[Jamie Gill of Yahoo! Music picked out "Higher" as one of two highlights on the album. Gill said "Higher may be blighted by the same bustlingly hectic production that infects so much of the album, but its surging beats and breathless chorus lift it to anthemic levels nonetheless..."
