So the new Girls Aloud video for 'Untouchable' premiered tonight, and whilst the video itself is okay I'm very unhappy with what they've done to the song.
For those that don't know, the original version of 'Untouchable', which can be found on the girls newest album 'Out Of Control', is rather lenghty for a pop song hoping to get major radio play without the DJs getting bored and talking over the last 2 minutes, clocking in at just over 6 and a half minutes. When it was announced as the follow up single to the wonderful 'The Loving Kind' it was obvious there would be a radio edit of some kind, despite protests from Popjustice.
All they needed to do was make it a little shorter for the radio, that was all.
Now we discover that for some reason they have not only made it shorter but added vocoder effects to the vocals and given some of Nicola's parts to Sarah!
There was no need for any of this, so I urge thse of you who have only heard the single edit to track down the album version and bask in its true glory.
