Why we love The Saturdays
There's five of them, they're all fit, and they march around their videos sporting funky bright colours. You've guessed it: The Saturdays are the new Girls Aloud.
A band also created, in fact, by the influential UK record label Polydor. Hence both groups touring jointly in 2008. But why replicate your own triumphs? Easy: two bands jockeying for Number One means maximum publicity and swollen coffers.
Music-wise, Polydor is also onto a winner. Don’t tell FHM’s mates, but we though that two of the three tracks they released on debut album Chasing Lights were ‘good’. Emasculatingly good. If This is Love (think Kylie-style electro) and Up (by-the-book Girls Aloud) got to Numbers Eight and Four.
But then comes the most important issue: the girls themselves.The Saturdays include Frankie Sandford and Rochelle Wiseman, two ex-S Club Junior members, plus a former Gillette model who graced The X Factor with half-decent girlband Fallen Angelz. Meanwhile, Vanessa White warbles like Alicia Keys and Una Healy's gift for reading music lends a veneer of Noel Gallagher-style credibility to the band.
All well and good. But which one's the caner? Who’ll marry a footballer and who’s categorically not gay? And why’s there no ugly one? Over to Frankie, the sweet one who came 4th in 2010’s 100 Sexiest and gets the sociopathic comments on YouTube. “Rochelle’s got her head screwed on – she’s the mum. Una likes a good time. Mollie’s bubbly. Vanessa gets confused. And I tell you how it is.”
But to find out which one looks best in their little black numbers, you'll have to speak to FHM's photographer...
