These clips are too short to form an opinion on the performances.
We must remember that these girls' entire experience with live performances was as part of a group. So it will take sometime to get used to performing solo and singing whole songs solo. At least she's actually singing live. Also just seen the Kiss Haunted House party performances: It's no longer business as usual where they could get away with skipping lines/notes and asking the audience to sing (as they all did in Little Mix); such skips now make the singing so vacant/empty as it's just her and her alone. The performance of My Love was great though - she probably should have mimed all through if she wanted to focus on choreo/performance (like most other artists do - including her ex-bandmate) |

She has no stage presence, it is like someone off the street has walked up to give it a go.

Cheryl was doing Fight For This Love on X-Factor a year as her first performance. Jesy was even delivering full choreography and confidence on Graham Norton and Jingle Bell Ball in the middle of a tanking campaign and public backlash better than these performances. Plus this is what rehearsals and soundchecks are for. She doesn't get dropped off at the venue and given 10 mins to practise. |

Tonight’s performance, disappointed again.
I feel like I sound harsh but she’s performing so basic in these performances and the vocals just seen it. Where is the Leigh-Anne from the my love video and the one in the last few years of LM. |

Actually, my issue with Leigh-Anne's clips I've seen isn't about the "performance", but about vocal delivery. The dances/gesticulating/movements and everything else that make up a performance seem alright to me. The examples you gave were for National TV performances, and that's a lot of difference - cameras, audience, staging, backup dancers, etc - all of which make a performance appear bigger/better. But also, Jesy was always a better performer than Leigh-Anne in Little Mix, so I wouldn't expect things to change overnight in their respective solo careers. |

Guess it explains why Capital have been hammering My Love even though it was a huge flop.

Thats better, but it is mainly because it is a TV editing... She is more confident though, good for her. She needs to work on them vocals, sorry. Her being out of breath most of the time and even not singing a lot of the verses or chorus looks bad.
She really needs to improve. It's a shame cos the song is good! |

She kind of just doesn't feel like a star with a great deal of presence on her own, does she?
 I know that sounds harsh because I really like her but she always just looks kind of... small and timid in performances I see, even though the looks are striking. I'm yet to see anything so far where I'm like "okay, she's arrived!". I still think the song is great though and definitely where she belongs. |

I’m loving the songs but the performances are just not very good. It really shows how much she needs the group to ‘hold her up’ as they did during their performances. I’m glad she’s doing her thing but maybe this shouldn’t be her main thing. |

I agree with you all.
The beginning sounded great but that’s because it was mined. I’m just really underwhelmed with all of her live performances

She's probably still lacking in confidence from her experiences in the group as told in her book. If you watch back even her most recent performances in Little Mix and pretend the other girls weren't there, there really isn't much difference with her current performances as a soloist. Still same Leigh-Anne, so not underwhelmed.
Sometimes, some people are better off in a group. Will she get better? Who knows! Time will tell. Apart from the usual few we can easily count, I don't know many ex [successful] GG members whose consecutive live solo performances (not music videos with all the padding) are particularly striking. |

QUOTE(Yousee @ Nov 19 2023, 11:19 PM) Sometimes, some people are better off in a group. I definitly agree with this. There's a reason some popstars should just stay in their groups. See: Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Geri, all the Girls Aloud members, all the Sugababes, all of Backstreet Boys, etc. Hell, even Mel C or Emma probably would have never made it as popstars if they didnt come from the Spice Girls in the first place - and they were seen as the talented ones! Sadly, I think the same applies to the LM girls. They were great in a group, and live they worked well as a group (although the miming on their own tours was always terrible to see, specially 10years into their careers!!...). Personally, I dont particularly see Jade or Perrie doing amazing either, although they *do* have better stage presence than Leigh-Anne ever did. There's nothing wrong with being in a girlband, I guess that egos do get in the way a lot unfortunately. It is what ultimately broke the Spice Girls too... |

She really is so timid for someone with 10 years experience including tours!

Loved this performance! She ate. She’s looking more comfortable and confident with each one. Easily the best one yet.

Agreed, her confidence has gotten a lot better!
Heavy pre-record the first half but better than her recent performances. Girl is WORKING, not her doing more international promo now than all her time in Little Mix. Fair play to her and her team getting her out there! Loving the hair and the colour, it suits her. |
