A WILD CITROEN APPEARED!

I thought it would be more funny from the previews but it really just is them standing on their lawns for the first two minutes at least, not really doing anything of note, so I am slightly disappointed, along with the really bad green screen as Robot claimed. However, I do like the concept and both the song and the video are giving me much more personality from the girls which can only be a good thing.

I don't even know what to say.

 

G'won Single 3 :cheer:

I'm a bit dissapointed.

 

The girls themselves were funny and there's so much personality involved but the green screen looks awkward at times, the lip syncing doesn't match properly at the beginning, the black and white shots look so cheap and it's a bit repetitive. They could have done alot better with the theme of the song but it'll probably grow on me. I always hate their music videos at first. :lol:

That was actually kind of horrendous and in no way helped me like the song more. The concepts were good but they weren't executed well. I liked the whole black and white thing during the rap and I liked them playing cards. The desperate housewife concept was great but they could've done more with it and the effects were absolutely horrible. The whole last 30 seconds was pure cringe.

Not sure why they needed such "special" effects when the girls are just putting the washing up, but whatever makes this song sink further away is fine by me.

It has its moments, but I was expecting better. It has the same sort of cheapness that Sophie Ellis-Bextor's video for 'Me And My Imagination' had for the most part.

Well, first off the green screen & the effects have more to do with the director than the girls themselves.

But secondly, it's a great video for what will have been shot on a limited budget. Let's not forget they are mainly a UK-based girlgroup.. they don't have £100k+ to shoot videos! :lol:

It looks like they had to get some product placement in just to afford the effects. For what resources they had, it's a pretty great video imo.

Plus, with Rochelle pretty heavily pregnant they will have been a little restricted on concepts for videos!

Wow, I can't help but feel underwhelmed. I probably prepared myself for a better idea. Like LoveKiller and others have said, it's a nice concept but on first view doesn't seem to have been executed well. Maybe ill like it in second view. ;)

That's AWFUL!!!

 

I do love that the ''flash car'' is a CITROEN though, at least they're realistic.

LOL

 

so far the buzzjack Gentleman theme has been

"it has to be the next single, they need something different, WAU is shit" >>>>> "its so crap, worst single ever, its gonna flop, i miss 30 days"

"this video is going to be incredible, best video, cant wait" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "its shit"

 

 

Great video!

I love the video, absolutely love the video.

.. that is when you get past the bad lighting and greenscreen. There is some truley quality Sats moments.

 

The concept is really good with the Desperate Housewives theme. The plot is actually quite clever too. The girls playing themselves as men, and the girls swooning over their gifts. It is supposidely true that you are attracted to yourself.

 

If anything it's quite a mic-take, hense the lyrics of the song, "he aleady had the milk so why would he go buy the cow?". It's very over the top, and because of this, it's fake, plastic and very hard looking. And the greenscreen and lighting actually really enphasise that.

 

Overall I think it's a job well done. There's not much else they could have done with a heavily pregnant Rochelle. I like that their last 3 videos have all been very uplifting, makes a change.

I like the concept - but there's a fuzzy line around all of their heads which makes the whole green screen thing look unbelievably tacky. The whole release is just tacky, so at least it fits.

 

 

This.

 

I don't think it's bad but I can't say I like it either.

I'm neither here nor there with the song or video.

I like the video, It is fun - Una constantly soaking Rochelle with the hose, when she says 'your not a lady if your always on your knees' and Rochelle looks at her like 'excuse me'

When Vanessa is taking digs at Mollie and Frankie is all 'pfffft'

When they get their gifts from their 'gentleman' Mollie and Frankies faces are priceless!

Hate the ending and the Citreon just coming out of nowhere. Some of the CGI is awful but at the same time, it kinda adds to the tackiness of the whole concept of the video/song (said tackiness is a good thing). There are some great moments - Una and the hose, the strutting in the OTT outfits, Rochelle's facial expressions whenever Una sings a cutting line, the vogueing, Mollie doing the washing. People are taking the video far too seriously for what it is - and dare I say it, some people (not here, more on Twitter etc) just criticising it for the sake of it because it's The Saturdays, where it's apparently cool to constantly bitch and put them down.

 

Sure it's not great overall, and it could have been much, much better with some less obvious CGI and tweaking. I'd love it if they could have focused more on the girls competing against each other like already said, and maybe even shot it on Wisteria Lane itself but their budget probably didn't allow for that. Hey ho. I can't at the irony of Girls Aloud's fans coming out of the woodwork all over the place and slating this though when their videos (bar two or three, perhaps) are utter shite and equally, if not a little more dull, 'cheap' and 'trashy' than this video.

I can honestly say I love the video. I think the CGI is meant to look like that. I just love the whole feel of the moment. The faces they pull... OMG!!! It was flipping fantastic!! Defo their best since Ego for me. It's not completely different from anything they've done before but Still brilliant none the less. The lighting was quite cool :D :wub:

Its a different approach for a girl band. You wouldn't have expected to see the likes of Girls Aloud or Little Mix to have a video that seems this fun and is just a happy video, the girls all seem quite relaxed in it too!

It is incredibly cheap and very cheesy, and I should hate it. But I just don't everything about this seems 'so bad its good' I just love it.
