Your expressions during the “Gentlemen” video had me dying 😂 Definitely one of their silliest songs.

[@humphreychannel582]

Gentlemen is so underrated!!! I feel like it’s just a fun pop song! And it’s great!! Catchy and fun.

[@imnotacat3798]

The problem with their dancing is that they try to accommodate Una’s lack of dancing skill but also try to show off Frankie’s dancing. Their choreographer just really wasn’t that good for them.

[@itschrispretorius]

its true. their choreographer was some middle-aged blonde lady whos name i cant remember :/ not to bash the age group, but they certainly needed someone young n fresh to accommodate everyone.

[@MidnightStarRuby]

Chris Pretorius I thought their choreographer was Aaron Renfree?

[@leo123722]

MidnightStarRuby they had later. BUT I never Like his choreography too. X

[@markrogerson5878]

MidnightStarRuby correct

[@whatkatereadnext2680]

Did they not have the same choreographer as Girls Aloud? Weren't they on the same label?

[@Jennifer-cz2if]

I didn't even recognise Frankie with long hair, I honestly thought it was Tulisa at first filling in for someone!

[@neilbolt81]

I always thought Missing You was over choreographed!! It’s like they’re raving to a ballad

[@user-uz5pk4wd4t]

I actually like Vanessa's voice the most

[@DanielFuscoMusic]

Rochelle, to me, is the strongest vocalist.. or at least ended up being the best one over time. Vanessa had lots of issues with her vocal cords but had tons of natural abilities. I'm a singer myself.. and it always seemed that Rochelle was very consistent and a strong voice for the girls.

[@obibraxton2232]

Good shout I think Vanessa deffo was the lead singer so always having to be the one singing most of time put strain on her voice I’d say Rochelle was second best thus becoming the most consistent overall although will point out I love Una’s tone too.

[@greghayes8158]

Not one of you are singers. If you had any idea, you would know that it’s tracked. And rochelle has the most basic voice that can’t do anything. It’s safe and basic. The only two that can sing are una and Vanessa. And don’t listen to this ‘vocal coach’ she can’t even sing lol she’s making comments about dancing lol have you watched her perform lol

[@richracing3705]

'Gentleman' affectively ruined them. Having just got number 1 with 'what about us' it was always important to release another amazing song. 'Gentleman' just wasnt it. 'Not giving up' was way better but didn't chart as highly mainly I'd say due to 'gentleman' being so dire. If it was the other way around, who knows what would happened. In my personal opinion, 'gentleman' shouldn't have been a single, it should've been 'Wildfire'.

[@Philipp19967]

@@JulianNial yes Gentleman was a flop

[@GoodOlAllisonHarvard]

The way I agree with what you wrote here _SO MUCH_ OMG!!!!! 😭🙌🏾🌟💎🎵🎶✨

[@zoozbuh]

Omg I know this is delayed but I 200% agree- Wildfire was SO MUCH BETTER and similar to What About Us. It would’ve been such a hit, but they totally ruined it with Gentleman. Even the fans didn’t love Gentleman 😂😂

[@cameroncairns6056]

Gentleman was the song that ruined their career. I think it was released because of the big producers / writers from America. I hope you react to their acoustic performances!

[@lillm6874]

Yeah, they should’ve stuck to the Norwegian singer and songwriter Ina Wroldsen and Steve Mac👍

[@leeriches8841]

First and only time I’ve heard that song and it was awful 😂

[@oddligames1592]

Their best song for dancing was definitely What About us. Their choreography was so good, its sad that they stopped doing the original choreography soon after Rochelle got pregnant. The Saturdays still are my favorite girl band but their weakness was their choreography, it was so simple but STILL didn't accommodate their singing. They could've done better training so they could perform consistently. But basically t he dynamic of The Saturdays are Rochelle, Vanessa and Una are the lead vocals in the songs while Frankie and Mollie's strengths are the harmonies and adding layers. You could appreciate their voices in their acoustic performances better and see their roles fully. One thing I didn't see were some of their better performances weren't included. Hopefully this last video will showcase their acoustic performances.

[@ruicorreia5635]

Your reaction to "Gentleman" is everything... You regret chooding the song a little bit more every time you find out the lyrics :D

[@lelepop7672]

I met all the girls and they did an intermit performance called aol sessions its on youtube, they where right infront of me singing and i have got to say they where amazing! Vanessa and una very good singers but they where all great. The harmonies where outstanding and was one of best nights. First time I had ever been on tv loved it. All lovely girls.

[@andreltzy667]

Thanks for reacting to Saturdays 💙 they are perfect and their voices beautiful, in addition to having very good vocals.

[@HonestVocalCoach]

My pleasure!!

[@zoozbuh]

LOL that last song was written by an American songwriter called Priscilla Renea... and the men were chosen by the writer (apparently they weren’t allowed to change them). Kinda explains why the whole song ended up so cringey and random. American written songs are so weird for UK girl bands... I think exactly the same about little mix! They got WAY too Americanised!

[@mama456100]

No wonder I enjoyed some aspects of that songs. It was all good until they started naming names and chanting about the 90s

[@Soulofcalm]

I’m an American and I think that was way too weird and random. Throwing out the most random people’s names 😂

[@seanbreeze2721]

I really like Gentlemen apart from the listing people they fancy part. If Rihanna sung this everyone would be praising her for it. Double standards.

[@leo123722]

The problem for me with the Saturdays is that they wasn't always consistent. When they were good they were amazing. They needed to be more polish.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love them. A very good, cohesive group. Love your channel.

[@Cottoncandiesofficial]

Wow!We love The Saturdays and they insipre us so much!Hopefully one day we will be as succesfull as them!Dear Georgina we love that you react to girlbands,there are som many amaizing girl groups out there you should do a medley video,maybe including us too!Much love from the Cottoncandies,a girl group from Hungary!

[@Martdiva1979]

12:51 L♡ving frankie's hair .. 16:58 frankie's vocals beautiful ♡x

[@dizzy2able]

It’s nice that you think that Frankie is lip syncing during Missing You when it’s live. Idk if you know this as a vocal coach but when your part of a crappy label such as polydor then your not gonna get far. They had such bad management up until 2010. They didn’t get a choice for styling or how they were going to sing. That’s what happens when you’re a newbie in the industry. The only chance they got in writing songs were album tracks such as Deeper, Move On U, Anywhere With You etc They also don’t have any control over which track gets released as the next single. I’d be surprised if they can even have a vote on it

[@GomezLovatoX]

I personally feel Vanessa was in a league of her own vocally, I don’t think these videos are giving her enough credit at all!! Yes their dancing looks slightly outdated in 2020 but it wasn’t at the time so impossible to compare it to acts around now.

[@user-uz5pk4wd4t]

I agree. I think Vanessa's voice was the best in the group, shame these clips didnt do her justice

[@randorific333]

I'm surprised you've never listened to the lyrics of "Gentleman." Although I'm not crazy about the spoken part (and I disagree, I don't think the women are actually naming off men they'd want to be with - it was just a matter of who was chosen to speak each part) the song is about how finding a gentleman is difficult in the present day as compared to the 1990s. It's not one of my favourites of theirs, but it did chart at #10 in Scotland and #14 in the UK so apparently it wasn't too bad!

[@antonytjp]

Wow these girls are far better than I thought they would be at singing live..

[@RR-rf7qh]

You have to understand most of these performances are over 10 years ago! So yeah dancing looks cheesy and not the best but 10 years ago this was good and comparing them to current acts like blackpink etc isn’t really fair time’s have changed since the saturdays we’re out so of course it doesn’t look as good as girl groups these days!

[@galegorgeous8857]

Nahhh that Just Can't Get Enough choreo would have been insanely cheesy even in the 90s

[@kiml9066]

Nah that's always just been kpop. Like older kpop girl groups might not have been as tight as blackpink etc, but better than that

[@whatkatereadnext2680]

Yeah but you watch Girls Aloud videos and they're not cheesy they were really tight and there was always a coordinated look, like why Mollie in gold when everyone else is in black?

[@leeriches8841]

No, it was as cheesy back then as it is now.

[@englandportugal91]

Great Reaction! I Love The Saturdays Music! They Are Incredible! Take Care & Have An Awesome Weekend!

[@Jolizzii]

It’s like girls aloud’s Love Machine. That had some strange lyrics lol

[@TheUrbanGentAOB]

Although Vanessa had some vocal issues during their run, when she was in pocket she was absolutely stellar. Definitely one of the best female vocalists out of the UK ever. Surprised she didn't fully pursue solo success after The Sats ended.

[@AndyHolloway87]

Thanks for doing the Saturdays I love them they was amazing xxx

[@ottiswarwick933]

Love the girls! 1- Vanessa 2- Rochelle 3- una 4- frankie 5- mollie

[@TravisWeissTv]

your reaction to gentleman had me CACKLING omg

[@kathyhaydock4352]

Oh Georgina 😂😂😂 you crack me up! Maybe because our reactions are the same! #tastemyrainbow 😁😁

[@Martdiva1979]

Love The Saturdays so much i really want them to get back together. they got Lovely voices Rochella Vanessa & una definitely the strongest then molly & frankie xx

[@raider4297]

I personally like rochelle voice the most

[@leo123722]

She really started to shine even more near to the end

[@spanishxeyes]

I believe Frankie and Rochelle were both pregnant during the Gentleman performance, which is why they kept the choreography simple and did more close-ups.

[@K78644]

Frankie Sandford! happy larrie here:)

[@Paradeboy]

Glad uou mentioned k-pop girl groups their dancing in their groups is so wow great video as always and Rochelle’s voice is the best and Una close 2nd and love your girl group choice so far!! 💜

[@tashevans3940]

Una always seems so quiet when she sings everyone else seems louder to me.

[@Stevieweevietv]

They do have a point....why would you buy the milk for your baby if you already got the cow? 🙄🤣🤣. Your face and reaction had me in stitches! 🤣

[@itsonlyjulian]

Western bands that preformed good choreography was the Pussycat dolls and Destiny Child. Kpop groups train for 6+ plus years before they allowed in front of a camera and turn them into dancers even if they aren't naturally. Western Bands from my opinion take on the vocal approach and sway with the beat and make dancing a secondary thing. The older generation of kpop 2009 - 2012 have some amazing choreography, Girls Generation, Wonder Girls, T-ara, paved the way for Blackpink, Twice. Many kpop groups, like Girls Generation, took 1 year to practice their debut song choreography to perfect it and sync it whilst singing it live.

[@eoinmcshane7442]

“Una is the Sarah of The Saturdays”. NO! *cancels the vocal coach*

[@Sxmii-fk2rg]

Loved the Saturdays !

[@averagejoereads7271]

Excited to hear you’ve been checking out K-Pop! Definitely recommend Mamamoo, they’re considered the best girl group in terms of vocals.

[@Conorcruiz]

I know that rap off by heart and have performed it many times in my car. Haha

[@unidan82]

Gentlemen is such an awful track... but that performance is actually great.... Vanessa is my fave voice... she’s either magic or awful haha

[@CJ87962]

That last song was the definition of dreadful 😆💀

[@adamc8033]

I really dont find gentleman a cringey song its catchy underrated hit my favourite is 30 days

[@marklola12]

Issue I find is because their voices are so autotuned on pre-recorded stuff it's impossible for them to actually match it or get close to matching it when they don't sound like that anyway 😂

[@jodieoddie7171]

Totally agree, Frankie and mollie are really not good singers so when they have to go totally live I think it drags the whole performance down

[@Kate-wp9ut]

There is a reason they never ended up on the same level as the likes of Girls Aloud or Sugababes they never quite got it together enough

[@danixx9220]

Love the Saturdays! 💕 gentleman what are you waiting for were my two least favourite songs from them though

[@Quidwitchh]

I’d be keen for you to rate 2ne1 from KPop. They’re one of the originals (I don’t follow KPop, they’re the only one I know!) but I’d be interested to know whose the best singer of the group.

[@samanthajane1631]

Haha I love your reaction to the gentleman lyrics

[@Philipp19967]

No offense but they would work as trio. Rochelle Vanessa and Una They carry the vocals anyways I think their late dancing is kinda weird because one of them was always pregnant and they couldn't move a lot

[@Martdiva1979]

Gentlemen was a brilliant song great lyrics

[@eurovisionwithsis-thepower7524]

Love your intro! I love the butterflies on that! Maybe that's your favorite animal?

[@HonestVocalCoach]

It is!

[@miguelnation87]

So I’m curious, I’ve heard some of their professional recorded songs on iTunes but I have yet to see an actually good performance, everything is a bit messy, where they a popular girl band in the UK, because I’ve heard of Girls Aloud and they’re pretty good and polished.

[@taylorhatton6536]

miguelnation87 yes they were very popular in the UK. They had some good performances; if you watch their acoustic sets it’s much better

[@markrogerson5878]

Girls Aloud were great. Absolutely loved them. But by the end of GA the rumours of dislike within the group were so strong; and having seen their dislike and bad behaviour on stage during their last tour (members literally ignoring each other), I can’t bring myself to watch or listen to them much anymore. The Saturdays always came across well even if a little haphazard at times :)

[@Levelsfan]

Bring about All Saints

[@amybrown1161]

That song was funny 😂

[@johnt3141]

Most acts had to lip sync on gmtv

[@leeriches8841]

The Saturdays were always really good at stripped back acoustic performances. They had an atrocious choreographer 😂 Rochelle is definitely a better singer than she is a tv presenter, that’s for sure.

[@Itsryebailey]

Rochell is the best singer in my opinion

[@Sayurinagasaki]

You had his baby, so you might got him for now He already had the milk, so why would he go buy the cow?- hahahaha like what??? Hahahaha same reaction here 👩🏻😯 I used to love the “gentleman song” back in 2013 haha but right after watching makes me realized that it’s cringe. Haha you’re right -honest vocal coach. Ahaha But don’t get me wrong i still like the saturdays though.

[@rudohk]

Gentleman is my cheese.

[@andrewsavage9148]

I always thought they were ok, but I do agree with the comments on the song gentleman, it’s an awful song, their performances always felt so dated..

[@irishrose90]

The Saturdays always came across like one of those fictional girl groups you'd see in movies. 😂 They had some great songs don't get me wrong but as a girl group they never worked right. Also that song at the end was one of the worst songs I've ever heard. 😬 "You want Kanye? Why??" 😂 😂

[@leanture3685]

Are u kidding me? You're comparing cheesy asian kpop music to western music???? Are you kidding me? Sorry to say but kpop signers and bands are not know cuz o their vocals!!! They are great dancers and wear lashy hair and cloths yes but they cant really sing!!! The reason why kpop groups have tight choreo is cue they litterly have to go to kpop school! Its an academy where they get taught how to dance, sing, talk to media etc.!!!! There are videos about it and how its horrible and they are treated as slaves and worked till death, or they get replaced in the band! Kpop music will never ever produce great vocals or singers! It's just not what K-pop is! Kpop is made or screaming teenager girls and every couple years some o the boys and girls get replaced so the band stays young to cater to their audience! Horrible! Kpop music in gerneral is a bad copy of western 90s boy band/girl band music.

[@FeelinErie]

Larry King??

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

The Saturdays were never 'tight' anyway...something about them as a group just didn't work.they were just 'pretty girls' with voices....no personality....A group need to also have individuality to blend ang gel...these girls are just like 5 blow up dolls….

[@chrisflan257]

I agree and disagree with this. I do think they were tight, they all got on well. But I agree with you that there was something off about them as a group. There were always just there, but never took off. Even though they have some good pop songs that are fun to listen to!

[@aitorizculapeitia7122]

Totally agree with you. Gentlemen is the worst song they released!

[@zfaulkie]

[@tomsautocadstudio6446]

gentlemen is ok if you don't listen to the lyrics.

[@b432]

How bad are they? Their performances are ridiculous. 5 desperate housewives on stage

[@seanbreeze2721]

What went wrong? Nothing, all clips where great. Think just looking for problems out of nothing. I honestly think The Saturdays are way a head of any other UK girl group as far as vocals and performance, plus they all look stunning too. Maybe even a head of Sugababes.

[@paulmarden3301]

Her observations were spot on. They lipsync'd so many of the videos. I agree they are stunning and their voices are good (when they're singing LIVE) but lipsync and out of sync choreo is so cringe

[@itschrispretorius]

Calm down easy breezy. everything she pointed out was ..they're infront of you to see. i stan the saturdays but i know when its not great. i also stan myself, but know when im not great.

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

REALLY??????

[@mama456100]

Umm, even ahead of Little Mix? Little Mix can sing live, have great choreography, and have amazing empowering songs to go with it. The Saturdays cant hold a candle to them.

[@shaunc4518]

It has seemed throughout the Saturdays series she has been nitpicking and much more harsh about them. Maybe some favouritism and personal feelings are getting in the way...
