The whole Girls Aloud, Sugababes thing

I started it off in my last post with NOT VERY GOOD. I have since decided to retract that statement and declare it GOOD, BUT NOT AS BRILLIANT AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I mean, honestly- how many more times are two fucking amazing bands like Girls Aloud or the Sugababes going to record together? Girls Aloud will more than likely split up after the next album which supposedly and HOPEFULLY is coming out later this year (I'm not one to be cynical, but all wonderful amazing godly etc etc things can't last forever), and the public's reception to the Sugababes is borderlining relative indifference, following the rather bummish performances of their last two singles "Follow Me Home" and "Easy" (I'm still smarting over the latter...how can the public be so stupid to ignore such a fucking great song...). Alls I'm saying for the twelfth time is they could've taken complete opportunity of this and raped it raw by creating some original ungodly single.

Anyway, all that aside, my main reason for changing my opinion of "Walk This Way" is frankly because of the video. It is definitely better when watched with the video. Without the video, not as great, though it's a joy to hear Kimberely with her own verses in the beginning. That in itself is a rare and wonderful thing considering she is by far my favorite Girl Aloud. Squee for me. But the video is definitely one thing done right in this whole fiasco. Although I would've definitely squelched in my pants if a few different changes were put in---

1) The part when Sarah busts through the wall with the mic stand, and then all of the girls are giving each other rude faces, I would've loved to seen Cheryl just reach over and slapped Keisha silly. Because, you know, Keisha and Cheryl are considered the "bitchy" members of their respective groups. Not that I dislike Keisha by any means, but seriously- who wouldn't want to see them bitch it out?

2) The runway/concert part at the end would've been better if they had busted out in some giant synchronized dance routine. Aloud does one, but the 'babes sit this one out (though looking at their past videos, choreography is clearly not something they lower themselves to. Which is fine, on certain levels. That's a story we can continue another day). OR! They could've ignited some giant mosh pit and just crowd surfed, all eight of them.

Anyway, the video is great. The song is still iffy, but the video is great as I just said before. Now I'm repeating myself and rambling.
