Though it's been knocking about for a while, it's 'Untouched' that The Veronicas are touting as their breakthrough single over here. Sounding like a cross between Pink and Avril Lavigne at her least brattish, it combines surging guitars, a naggingly effective string hook and harmonies a-plenty before building to a catchy, attitude-packed chorus. There's little in the way of originality here, but the girls' vampish style and quirky charm should work in their favour.

this song is awful. They either seem to talk or SHOUT through the song.
This song is so AMAZING !!! Love it <3 Can i just say Lisa veronica twitted Digital spy :) Coz they got Number 1 in Irleand ~ Congratlutions <33
luv it! it should be number one this week instead of black eyed peas again!!
FANTASTIC! What a tune! I am obsessed with this pop/punk tune and the song fails to disappoint. The synths are amazing, extremely catchy. Defo to be in top 10!
great song, love it to bits. the veronicas are brilliant, as soon as i heard this song, i knew i had to download it!. they are going to be a big hit in the charts.
I like it
all i can say is australia has done it again, after the minogue sisiter, holly valance and 2008s gabriella cilmi australia has awarded us with these amazing singers. The song is so catchy and the unusual sound at the start keeps you hooked with different but but brillant verses and one heck of a chorous for me it's a sure sunfire no 1 cause thats the only chart placing it deserves no 2 is dfar to low for a song of this quailty.
I came across The Veronicas Untouched from playing the PlayStation 3 game - FIFA 09. It is one of the songs featured throughout the game. I have heard it so many times and then bought in on Amazon MP3 Downloads. I think it is amazing because it has a great melody, the singing is both passionate and vulnerable at the same time and best of all I really feel like they are singing to and for me, which is the hallmark of the most successful singers in the world - a personal relationship with the listener!
i love it. no matter what other people say about them.haha
i really like this song. very upbeat and a song you can really dance to.
I don't think they can sing,really.On the chorus,they almost sound constipated and gasp the high notes rather than sing them.And I don't think the song has much to it.
Absolutely Lurve this song but doubt it will be promo-ed enough for a top ten
me and my boyfriend robin love this song !!
Hiya! well i think it is a fabulous song girlfriend! all i say to the veronicas is you go girlfriends! see ya later babes xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I first came across the veronicas spring 2008 and there track Untouched And I knew as soon as I herd them I needed to know more about them I now have both there albums and think they are wicked To be honest the first album- the secret like of the veronicas is to me more punk/pop While there new album – Hook me up is differently more Electro Its about time they have relesed in the uk – I really hope the sisters do well My favs are- this is how it feels. Take me on the floor, all I have, everything (a B side to hook me up) And of course the AMAZING untouched out of there 2 cds I think there is only 2 or 3 I skip there that’s cool

Christ, I really don't like this song, and I'm always one for a good electro-pop tune.
should be a number 1, it's a brilliant song!
ya they r really kool n they sound like mix between avril lavigne and pink.they all have resemblance with there music.avril is like punk rock and pop put together n pink is like rock, pop and the veronicas r like electro pop and rock all atthe same time.they all like to mix up there music n that is whats is more importent
