Where do you think 'Walk This Way,' would've charted if it had not been for charity?

 

I think it might have only charted at about #6 due to the fact it wasn't a very strong cover even though it had the 2 biggest girl groups in Britain on it, I'm also basing this on how quickly it's falling now.

Im really lovin this at the minute even more than the time the video just came out ^_^ but it deffo wouldnt have been no.1 if it weren't for charity

I think it would have got top 10, but probably not top 5.

Looking back it really wasn't that great, I'm not sure if Sugababes should have touched it if I'm honest.

I thought it was quite good at first but comparing it to the quality of some of the stuff Sugababes have made it's a bit poor, if they were going to cover it I think they should've done so on their own and tried to add a bit of a credible indie edge to it aswell because I think they could've managed to pull that off.

I think people should stop being so snobby about it, assuming that because Girls Aloud are less "cool" they're to blame for making it flop (relatively).

 

Let's face it, it's not a strong or even good vocal performance from either band, and having a #1 last about 4 weeks in the Top 40 is a huge flop for both of them, but both of them realise it was a one-off thing and won't be spending too much time thinking about it. By the time the next single comes around for both of them, credibility will have been restored :D

 

Oh and I LOVED it :lol: :wub:

I've heard clips of Sugababes performing it on their tour on their own and vocally it did sound a lot stronger imo. They should've have made the b-sides a Sugababes solo version of it and a Girls Aloud solo version of it so it was easier to compare. :lol:

Nobody's blaming Girls Aloud really, but it's the sort of song they resort to usually, they always seem to be doing covers. It also sounds more like a Girls Aloud song imo, it's got cheap production

 

Fair enough that it's for charity, but they should have made sure they do a decent cover, after all if it's decent it will sell more

On tour it sounded really good just by Suga's on their own ^_^ better even and im also a GA fan so yano

I agree, for some reason Sugababes vocals actually didn't sound as strong on this as they usually do which I could never understand why but it's probably due to the fact of the cheap production. They obviously used Girls Aloud production budget and Sugababes video budget. :lol:

:lol: I'm not complaining about the video

 

Maybe it was a bit of a botch-job and they had to get the song out to radio asap to promote CIN. Even if it's not sold that much directly, if a singles done, it promotes the whole cause not just the song

I'm hoping that they will release a live version of it on their own eventually, obviously only as a b-side but just so people can hear how much better it sounded and so I can listen to a Sugababes solo version of it. :lol: Which reminds me that I was wondering if anyone knows if there's actually going to be DVD of this tour as it would be the most appropriate time with it being a greatest hits tour and it also being an arena tour.

I really want a live cd of that tour their songs sounded so much better especially Easy :wub: Run For Cover sounded great aswell

It was for Comic Relief no CIN but I'm sure you knew that anyway. :lol:

 

I think that there was a good job made with the video but more time should've been spent perfecting the production of the song, they could've made it in to something much more credible had they of just put the thought into it.

I saw them on their 'Taller In More Ways Tour,' last year and they were brilliant then so I have no doubts that they were equally as good this time. :D Hopefully there will be a live DVD and CD made of 'The Overloaded Tour.' :D

There's another thing, Amelle just isn't as good a singer as Mutya but there really isn't many that are. Did she pull it off alright?

 

I hope there isn't too much backlash against them, they usually have backlash for being moody etc. but I think that's what some people like about them, it's what makes them different like All Saints had that reputation

I hope there will be but i doubt it -_-

I think Amelle has a fairly distinctive voice aswell and she proved that on the 'Taller In More Ways Tour,' last year and it was always going to be a struggle to find someone with such a strong voice as Mutya but I think they've done quite a good job with it. I'm also very glad that Amelle is in the group due to the fact she seems to be the one who's brought the indie element with her and I think Sugababes will always have the moody reputation and that's how their fans like it. :D

:lol: yeah

 

When Siobhan was in they had a commercial indie/rnb "demographic". The when she left it was more rnb. Now they've got Amelle they could easily bring back the demographic from the first line up :D

I just hope that they decide to go with indie sound because I'm sure they probably realise from their first line-up it could make them much less sucessful then they were before but hopefully they'll decide quality over sucess.

I saw them on tour last year and this year.

This year they were better as a group.

 

Personally I prefer Amelle's voice to Mutya's but it's all relative, we'll have to wait for the enxt album to really judge.

I just hope it's their best... erm..
