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'.

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

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.
