The Saturdays offer nothing, says Example

Example has insisted that The Saturdays "offer nothing" to the music industry.
The rapper made the claim while comparing them to Girls Aloud, who he described as "exciting", and suggested The Saturdays are being failed by their record label.


Referring to his Twitter feud with the group back in the summer, Example told the Daily Record: "The problem I had with The Saturdays and Alexandra Burke is that they could be better. They could have better songs and be marketed better.
"Girls Aloud were an exciting girl group. The Saturdays don't offer anything. They seem like lovely girls but their record or management label are not good enough."
Despite writing a song for The Wanted, Example insisted that he will not be writing much material for other artists. He explained: "I have turned down lots of big American acts and UK girl and boybands. It doesn't make sense for me to do it because I'm like a rave act.
"I've got plans for global domination. A few years ago, I said I wanted to play arenas and everyone laughed. Now I'm doing arenas six months behind Tinie Tempah and a year behind Plan B. I respect them a lot."
Example recently described his next album as sounding like The Strokes produced by Skrillex.
> Example, Enrique Iglesias to collaborate
