This video is boring. Yes, they look really good, it's the direction we all want from them to go styling wise and they actually look like a sexy and sleek girl band now but watching it is such a tedious task to do. Most of the video from the second half is just reused clips from the first, and the 'dancing' with the lights in the chorus is a lower than their usual standard. The flare and flashing lights that seem to intrude in all the solo shots are annoying. And what's with that blue filter that's so prominent?? I'd rather we get some colour in the solo shots. Orange for una, pink for Rochelle, yellow for mollie, purple for Vanessa and turquoise for Frankie.

I guess I'm just disappointed in what they could have done. I was expecting an All Fired Up 2.0 video (that was fantastic) but this just is a little bit underwhelming.

Strangely enough, I think this video is a better example of editing than All Fired Up. The cut shots for All fired Up Were jerky and all over the place.

The lack of focus on Vanessa seems to be a common theme throughout their videos, to be honest. Whether it's flashes of light covering her face, shots of the girls randomly coming up in her solo verse...

In this video I think there was just a shortage of exciting shots from her set-up. She doesn't get a lot of attention during her verse, but on the chorus immediately after there are about 7 close-ups of her doing the routine. And she looks so adorable with that awkward-smile-oh-god-I-hope-I-don't-fuck-up-the-light-routine-thing-oof-I-hate-this-song expression.

I absolutely love Vanessa recently, I'm not going to lie for the majority of their career so far she was my least favourite but recently she's gone right up to being second for me. In regards to having a backseat and stuff in videos, I genuinely think she quite likes that. I vaguely remember an interview before where she said she was happy taking a backseat or something? I may be wrong though but I swear she said something like that. Vanessa and Frankie look the best in the group section in my opinion.

Also this video is much better than All Fired Up for me personally. I suppose this is an All Fired Up part two, I actually feel like All Fired Up video is a bit dull in places compared to this.

When you start nit-picking about a video everyone loved this morning, that is frankly decent and a job well done, it's time to go have some chocolate.

This is a good example of how to do a great video on a low budget. Simple but highly effective. The shot of Una standing still on the podium at the start is worth the concept alone.

It's not as good as the All Fired Up video though; that had a bit more personality and quirk to it. And everyone knows that the dance straight after the middle eight is the best thing ever to be in a music video.

I still can't get over Frankie's middle 8...
Got me on overload. I'll be your rock of gold. Can we get overdosed on love?
So simple, but so bloomin' perfect!

Rochelle better not sing the BVs louder than Frankie during the performances!

How did Disco love/Gentleman/What About Us do on YouTube in the first 24 hours in comparison?

What About Us hit a million views in two days, but almost definitely through the Vevo Lift promo and people checking them out from the US. Can't remember how the others were doing at this point.
