13 good things about The Saturdays' 'Up' video

  • September 3, 2008
  • Popjustice
1. Each of the girls has a coloured micro­phone with their name on. If we don't have a pro­mo­tional packet of Saturdays Crayola on our desks within the next 48 hours there is going to be a lot of trouble. 
2. The girls go up (DO YOU SEE) on these computer generated block things. The girls also go down a lot but (Move on to the next picture — Ed)
3. Here you can see each member of The Saturdays in a different coloured pair of tights. During World War 2, women would paint their legs with gravy browning to make it look as if they were wearing stockings. If there was a war in 2008, The Saturdays would need to bathe in a variety of different alcopops to pull of a similar trick — another sign that 'binge drinking Britain' is going down the tubes.
4. In this bit of the video, the viewer is invited to observe a young lady's breasts. 
5. Frankie's hair looks fucking phe­nom­enal in this video. 
6. Some orange sunglasses things that you can't see out of. 
7. Some yellow sunglasses things that you can't see out of.
8. Some red sunglasses things that you can't see out of.
9. Some blue sunglasses things that you can't see out of.
10. Some pink sunglasses things that you can't see out of.
11. This looks like a bar chart. We'll have a think about what the graph might represent and get back to you in due course.
12. There's some sort of ludicrous subplot in this video involving Frankie dropping a sort of orange (THAT IS HER COLOUR!!!!) heart-shaped purse thing. 
13. This bit, at the end (and at the start), is brilliant. They are sort of lined up in an inter­est­ing way. Why don't more popstars lline up in an inter­est­ing way? 

The video's appar­ently on Yahoo! somewhere but we spent about five minutes looking for it and couldn't locate the bloody thing so here's a YouTube rip.

Funny how, in spite of having good bits in it, the video's still a bit rubbish. JUST AS WELL THE SONG IS TOTALLY BRILLIANT THEN, RIGHT???
