Dirrrtypop
The JC song! Mega-excitement! The backing music is very JC as well, and there
are a few "OW!"s in the background which are so definitely him. |

Freakytrigger
Saucy lyrics midly undermined by toffee-chewing lead vocal. And then YES!!
A GA rap, about stripper vicars... |

The
Guardian
Watch Me Go delves into the distinctly un-kiddie-pop topic of bondage. |
|
|

The
Independent
The effect is to underscore the girls' sassy, assertive attitude, whether
they're getting in the party mood with "Watch Me Go", or giving a dismissive
kiss-off in "Wild Horses". |

IndieLondon
...there is a deliberately funky feel surrounding Watch Me Go (which would
probably do well as a single as well) – the lyrics are tailor made for
more raunchy dance routines and another teasing video. |

Launch/Dotmusic
The deliciously slutty "Watch Me Go" ("Quarter past two I was dressed in
red / Tied up to your bed") features rapping - and they're good! - and fades
out with an, erm, 'homage' to Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps". |

Manchester Online
This third album juggles a fair bit of eighties gloss, rock and old school
electro into the mix, at times resembling the work of Anastacia's minxy
nieces. |

The
Observer
There's room, too, for Eighties Boney M funk-pop on 'Watch Me Go'. (Parents
of young children should note: this is a song dedicated to vigorous
shagging.) |

Best line: I was dressed in red, tied up to your bed, begged you on my
knees |

Static Multimedia
"Watch Me Go" (co-written by *NSYNC's JC Chasez, fact fans!) flips all the
way back in the other direction, a sexy, sultry, Blondie, and dirty
song... |
|
|
|
Stylus
"Watch Me Go" takes Gwen Stefani's interpretation of J-Pop and then randomly
fuses it to some sort of Shampoo-meets-Neneh Cherry girl band rap... |
|
|
|
Tiscali
...it wouldn't be Girls Aloud without a bit of sauciness, particularly in
'Watch Me Go' and 'Waiting'. |
