Walk This Way

[umlauts.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know there's an thread on ILM but this is not ILM. Anyway, "Walk This Way" is fucking awful, a complete zero out of ten on any scale you can measure it on and if it weren't for "Nasty Ghetto" it would be the worst thing either GA or the Babes had done.

Does anyone on here actually like it? How can you?

Saw the video for the first time on Popworld on Saturday.

+ Attempting to do something a little different
+ Amelle does a good S Tyler
+ They kept the bashing through the wall bit!
+ Good idea
- Poor execution
- Girls Aloud look least botherd than in anything they've ever done
- Vocals quite weak as a result (Sbabes manage slightly better)
- It sounds... weird. Not boshing enough & quite choppy.

Oh it's not that bad. It's not good but it's, y'know, 3/10. There were a lot of bizarrely heightened expectations for it.

I was about to say, hang on, eren't we just saying how much we loved 'Nasty Girl'? Then I remembered that 'Nasty Ghetto' is not, sadly, 'Nasty Girl'.

What I mean is, it's bad, but not noteworthily or hand-wringingly so. It was only ever going to be mediocre at best.

What IS 'Nasty Ghetto'?

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

It's vindication for people who have never liked Girls Aloud ie me.

it is a charity single = it was never going to be more than 4/10.

(i bet it's rly great though, i haven't seen or heard it yet...)

It's poor. But the more juror8 posts abt how terrible it is on ILM, the higher up in my estimation it rises.

awful sugababes album track

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

A really bad album track off Three where "nasty ghetto" is a euphemism for "vagina" :(

ha ha -- you get that too?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

This is true. Up to 4/10.

I saw it om popworld too, it's pretty bad. The sugarbabes just seem to get more and more ruthless.

I dunno why they had to recreate the Aerosmith/RunDMC video. On a hiding to nothing doing that sorta thing.

3.75 out of ten.

I've heard it without seeing the video and it sounds just dreadful.
