The new Saturdays single is better than a not very good Saturdays single, according to their manager

  • June 7, 2010
  • Popjustice

One of the things we almost admire about The Saturdays is that they have tire­lessly knocked out an email news­let­ter every Saturday (DO YOU SEE) for what seems like about 800 years. They're usually full of inter­est­ing-to-fans guff involving product endorse­ments and 'content' filmed on a certain popular point-and-shoot video camera but this weekend's did feature some proper actual news, namely that their new single 'Missing You' will be out on August 9, accom­pan­ied by this pho­to­graph (above) from the single's video shoot. 

Yes readers we know what you're thinking: Mel C's 'I Turn To You'. And if this single is one fifth as good as 'I Turn To You'* The Saturdays will be laughing. (It should, really, be five times as good, con­sid­er­ing there are currently five members of The Saturdays.) The other day we asked The Saturdays' manager if 'Missing You' was better than 'Forever Is Over' and she said yes, so we do at least know that it is better than a load of old rubbish. 

We know this news will come as a blow to many of you, because the announce­ment of a new single off a new album means that rubbish ballad 'Deeper' will never be released as a single off 'Wordshaker', and the world will never get to hear the tragic will-this-do tribute to lame song­writ­ing. All we can say is that while dreams of 'Deeper' strug­gling to the lower reachers of the Top 50 may be dashed, the song will live on for many weeks to come as fans' 20th most popular Saturdays song, and that seems a fitting role. Do not shed a tear, readers. Just remember the good times.
