Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is a very special day. Tomorrow reality TV's oldest and newest girl groups will release the video accompaniments to their latest can't-get-you-out-of-my-head tunes. Tomorrow both Little Mix and Girls Aloud will release the mini motion pictures for their singles DNA and Something New...and, as the less than 24 hour wait still seems unbearably long, I thought I'd come up with a few suggestions as to what they may have in store for us.

DNA - For those of you who haven't heard it, DNA, is a pop enthusiast's dream. With its mind-invading chorus, possessed vocals and heart monitor effect - what more could you want from a pop song? It is so good actually that it might make Little Mix the first ever X Factor alumni to have three consecutive No.1 singles. Bonkers. Subsequently, said song deserves an equally awesome video, one which includes 4 if not 5 of the following...

1. The make up/choreography must be as cool, if not cooler, than that of the girls' performance of E.T. - come on, it inspired the song.

2. The guy/guys that the girls are obsessed with must be out-of-this-world attractive. If they're obsessed with him/them, we must be too.

3. Leigh-Anne must look ugly-pretty psycho throughout her rap break down...actually all of the girls should look ugly-pretty psycho for pretty much the whole video but Leigh-Anne, especially so, because she's cool like that.

4. We have to imagine Simon Cowell watching it for the first time and saying 'I didn't like it...I loved it.'

5. It should feature a llama.

Something New - Something New marks Girls Aloud's first single in like forever. It is their 10 year anniversary single and it is one corker of a pop tune. It somehow manages to sound both modern and traditional GA at the same time. It is incredible. Now usually, Girls Aloud videos are somewhat lovably naff in comparison to their songs - except Sexy! No No No... that video rocks - but, if the promo for the Something New video is anything to go by, the girls have something special up their sleeves and, as a result, I am hoping for...

1. Lots of shots of those LTDs - the Little Tangerine Dresses they sport below.

2. A sense of unity between the girls - Nadine and Cheryl must appear to be BFFs in spite of tabloid dross.

3. Some underlying theme - even if it's just - we're the baddest bitches in town and no-one can touch us.
4. Nicola dancing to the Beat Of [Her] Drum.
5. A routine that I can learn off by heart and whack out on command, in the club, after a few bevvies.

Friday the 19th of October 2012 is going to be a good day.
