The Saturdays - 'If This Is Love'

Editor's rating

Girls Aloud and Sugababes may well be feeling a little anxious. While the former were falling out of dresses and into taxis, and the latter were firing members quicker than Sir Alan Sugar his would-be employees, some bright spark realised that we needed a new girl band.

So here they are. The Saturdays: immaculately turned out Top Shop mannequins sure to get your little brother all hot and bothered and your little sister plastering on the copycat make-up.

'If This Is Love' is a solid, if slightly underwhelming, debut single from the girls. But is that surprising, considering that 40% of the members of the band were in S Club Juniors?

Sadly, this single just can't compare to songs like 'Overload' or 'Sound Of The Underground' (by the 'Babes and GA respectively).

Instead, this mid-tempo electropop sounds suspiciously like an early-2000s Rachel Stevens effort. Maybe the aforementioned girl bands don't need to quake in their killer heels just yet.

Ive now seen the saturdays twice whilst supporting GIRLS ALOUD on their TANGLED UP tour and they gave a very good performance. The saturdays have a fair bit of catching up to do if theyre to be the next big girl group but theyre over all performance at manchesters M.E.N arena in may & june was very impressive & ive little doubt they'll go onto big things provided they stick together & help each other out like the afore mentioned girls aloud. They also have fans of all ages, not just the young :)
