On Your Radar (4th Studio Album Discussion) (Part 2)
If what they've done in the past is anything to go by, it's probabbly for recording and/or meetings. You know how they like to milk it when they're over there. They where only meant to spend 2 days over there for the Notorious video shoot and ended up staying a week. I doubt Una is going with them?

I don't think anyone said they where? :unsure: When I said 'shoot' I meant, photoshoot. 3wks to try and 'crack America' hahahahahah. :lol: Whatever she said has probabbly been taken way out of context.

It was a shoot for Sport Relief. I find it quite interesting that they're quite dressed up for a .. sports relief shoot. Shouldn't they be erm, sporty?

Speaking of 'All Fired Up', Capital are still playing this. It's funny how they where still playing All Fired Up more when My Heart Takes Over was out.

They did so about a year ago, and she set up her own label. Awkward :mellow:

Their TV plugger is certainly doing their job right lately!

iTunes Chart: January 2012 (Part III)
I'm not surprised Cover Drive are #1 on iTunes. Everytime I put Capital.fm on it's on repeat after every 4-5 songs.

YOU CHOOSE - Saturdays next move
The reports regarding how much (or how much they're not) making can't be confirmed nor verrified without official documents which apparently you can buy. But If the figures I saw the other day are anything to go by, I think it said they had a turn-over of 400k in a year. Can't be sure though.

YOU CHOOSE - Saturdays next move
I wouldn't worry too much to be honest. It was 'revealed' in the PopJustice forums a day or two ago that after they left Maximum management (Jayne-Fascination-gate) all 5 members of The Saturdays set up their own business (if you like) and all are Company Directors, and own trading name 'The Saturdays' etc, not the label. It's been suggested that this way they recieve more profit through merch, touring and music sales as it goes through to their company 'Day and Night Ventures'. I don't know if you guys remember Mollie's tweet after they left Jayne's management group and it said something like "JUST MADE THE BEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES". If they where dropped at some stage, they could actually just set up their own label as the groundwork is already in place. This isn't typical of every group/artist by the way.

I don't know why people would actually think she's quit? Odd.

All Fired Up and Get Ready Get Set are easily (for me) the two best tracks that have came out of The Saturdays since Ego. Excited is not the word when it comes to The Sats recording more Xenomania material!

That is part of the whole problem, that they're music is unidentifiable to an extent. They change their sound and mix it up for every release which although shows some sort of progression, the jump each time they've pushed it a little too far. Not that that's a bad thing, I think we can all agree that On Your Radar has gave us some fantastic material - The Saturdays at their best. 'My Heart Takes Over' wasn't a success because I think their casual audience prefer them doing the up-tempo tracks. Anything coming off the back of 'All Fired Up' was going to sound like a big dull dud. The production wasn't brilliant for 'My Heart Takes Over', in places there where distorted vocals, including the production itself in the chorus. Speaking of identity, I don't know any casual audience of their's would have been able to say "Oh yes this is The Saturdays!" when you've got a 50/50 mix of Vanessa/Ina on the chorus. Also, their so-called Airplay let them down a lot with this. No-one heard it. If they'd have gone with another track which had gone Top 10, I believe everything could be a different story.

Fixed! :lol: No but seriously, I don't get where anyone could actually blame the artist. They're not responsible for booking signings or promotion etc. Even with their scheduelle at the time though, do you think they could have realistically done 5 days worth of signings (ok, maybe not that many, but Monday-Friday isn't out of the question) whilst doing tour rehearsals for the tour that would have started 2wks later? It would be a bit manic to say the least.

That's funny you should mention Xenomania, because when Mollie took a picture of her car on the drive a day or two ago I thought It looked like the front of Xenomania Studios :lol:

On Your Radar (4th Studio Album Discussion) (Part 2)
Yeah I really doubt she's getting maried that soon. Aren't JLS touring around that time as well? Also, with Una's birth, do you think Rochelle would want to married in the same month as well? Oh but if what the mags say are true, then Rochelle and Una are each other's maids of honor or something like that. I don't see Una being able to be 'up and out' in March, LOL.

The best time to reduce an album is at the height of the buzz. If and when they put out a 4th single, it will be then. Like I explained in my other post, if people wanted to buy it in the first place, they'd have got it by now; no price reduction at this moment in time is going to make anyone else buy it. They may as well keep it at full price for now and milk it, then reduce it at the height of the 'buzz' to reap the rewards. It will benefit them more then than it would now. £7.99 is cheap even now though. One of the cheapest in HMV, as they're usually priced around £9.99+

They're nice suggestions, but even with a price cut for On Your Radar if people wanted it they'd buy it at £7.99 (which is pretty cheap anyway). A price cut to £5 will not be enough for the casual buyer to pick up the CD and think "oh yes, must buy that". If they wanted it when it was out, they'd have got it then. It all boils down to their 'album selling single' 'My Heart Takes Over' under-performing massively; and the busy release climate they put On Your Radar out in. Their managements response to this is suprisingly chilled as they're back in the studio working on new music! It's not about plugging the album on TV more either. They have already done that, and it's a waste of money to go on the TV shows that have like 500k viewing figures because they've done that too (Daybreak etc). Those viewing figures will not turn into sales as the 'impact week' sales have already been and gone. The only way this is going to be salvagable is if they release another single, or re-launch the LP with a new single, and new insentives to buy it (again, for some).

Una also tweeted she's in the studio too.

Aparently a spokesperson told Heat World that she was "sick". If she was 'sick' then why didn't the girls say so on the night? Seems very odd to me.

Maternity 'leave' is well over 2 months isn't it? That performance of Just Can't Get Enough was brilliant, so energetic as well! In no way am I complaining about this, but isn't it odd how the girls are more enthusiastic on stage on the day Vanessa 'does a runner' :lol:

If it was to do with them being dropped wouldn't they all be upset? Why was it that only one member decided to bottle it? We're talking about a group and management group who are very informative regarding if members are absent/ill. Look at that G-A-Y event they had to pull out of last minute because Vanessa and Frankie where "throwing up". No statement was issued by the girls or management which tells me that there is no justified reason for her absense. If it was something serious they would have confirmed it there and then. Now they've got all this speculation flying around, and they're not doing themselves any favours by keeping shtum.

That's hardly an excuse for not performing at such a key event, because she felt she was 'overweight' and her voice wasn't 'that great'. No excuse in my opinion, nor professional; Especially when you have Una who is 7 months pregnant who is up there doing her best, and Frankie who recently had a snowboarding accident. The gig itself looks half-arsed. They came back off holiday what was it, Wednesday, Thursday? They hadn't prepared by the looks of it, the choreography was awful, and they failed to even notice that their lead single was absent. Their vocals where brilliant though, can't fault that. Una was note perfect in those two videos. Rochelle nailed Vanessa's parts as well. Such a shame that they can be so hit and miss.

She left in tears?! Cue all the bullying accusations.
