Let's get some discussion going on the Brit Awards this year.

I'm sure the nominations are right around the corner, so lets get discussing.

- Can they finally break that pop group curse and bag a Best British Group award?
- Will 'Sweet Melody' be considered for Best British Single? Usually the top 10 best selling British singles (capped at 1 per lead artist) of the year are eligible - so SM would miss, but with the extension and this year being postponed, Idk what will happen
- Will they perform?
- Will Jesy actually launch her solo career there?

Posted by: Tafty 17th March 2021, 06:15 PM

I don't know who else will be up for Best British Group Icr if The 1975 released a new album this year or not lmao. I think they did so... UGHHHH.

My fingers are crossed for 'Sweet Melody' making it, but we shall see.

Would LOVE a performance of 'Sweet Melody' on the BRITS to go with their trilogy and it'd be good exposure for them as a 3-piece and would cast away any doubts with the public who maybe think "they're not as strong without Jesy" etc..

I'm not sure about Jesy launching her solo career there, but it would be huge exposure for her.

Posted by: Slayer 17th March 2021, 07:47 PM

I'd absolutely LOVE a Sweet Melody performance at the Brits!

I'd particularly love for the girls to become the first girl group to win best british group! They really deserve it!

I'd love to see Jesy perform but I can't see her performing - plus I don't think she'd perform at the same event the other girls are performing at - unless it is all pre-recorded performances!

I'd just hate all the headlines to be Jesy v Little Mix!

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th March 2021, 08:19 PM

They'll get a nom for Best Group- hopefully album too? It wasn't the *best* album of the year, but I mean if Anne-Marie bagged a nomination they should be able to (Realistically Glory Days should've gotten a nom as it was eligible and was massive but..)

If they extend the eligibility I can see them getting a Best Single nom, and if they bring back Best Video they'd bag that nomination too for Sweet Melody, and probs win it.

If the above happened the only one they truly deserve to win is Best Group, groups can't be nominated in consecutive years so they'll be up against The 1975 again and Gorillaz I believe? London Grammar will be another one they're against.

The Brits use them for promo and tweets every single year and always do them so dirty, they definitely deserve to win it this year (well they deserved the last 2 nominations too but..)

A woman has not been involved in the winning group since 1987 when Five Star won. Little Mix winning would not only be massive and monumental for what female groups can achieve but also for what women of colour can achieve. The Brits would be very stupid to award a group of white men again after the year we've had surrounding diversity and representation. (Also besides that Little Mix deserve it the most out of any current UK group just for their talent/acclaim/success)

As for the performance, would love a remake of the Sweet Melody video, or a medley of hits! We are long overdue a Little Mix medley at an awards show.

Posted by: Tafty 17th March 2021, 08:29 PM

Oh a medley would be great! A medley of Wings into Black Magic into Shout Out into Touch into Sweet Melody... *.*

I wouldn't mind them having a big surprise collaboration either. I wish the BRITS would focus on them again! They were always a huge success! Kylie/Justin, Rihanna/Klaxons & Florence/Dizzee etc..

Posted by: legendsglory 18th March 2021, 02:39 PM

I say a Best Group nom is pretty much in the bag (hopefully a win too..!) but i would also love to see Sweet Melody grab a best single nomination if possible!

I really want the brits to bring back the ‘Best Video’ category as i definitely agree that Sweet Melody would probably have a big chance on winning that..

The girls deserve the best group award more than ever right now.. especially after such a big year (#1 single, Top 2 album with very impressive sales and a TV show etc etc..)

The noms will probably be announced next month, right?

Posted by: George.keh 18th March 2021, 03:07 PM

Would love them to perform!

Posted by: Anth 24th March 2021, 11:32 AM

Nominations announced next Wednesday, fingers crossed for a few nominations 🤞

Posted by: shindymindy 24th March 2021, 11:55 AM

Hoping for:

Best group
British Single?
Video (if it's still a thing)

And a performance

I genuinely can't think of another UK group that has had the year they had. It would be justice if they won best group but I won't hold my breath.

Posted by: jsweetxe 24th March 2021, 01:37 PM

What we should be getting at the least;
Best Group

What I want as well if they extend the criteria-
Best Single

And bring back Best Video too. Best Album nom would be cute as well since most of the noms are always like subpar albums with big sales, Dua will win this year though, it's just nice to see their name up there.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 24th March 2021, 04:07 PM

I find the Brits so hard to call but best group nomination has to be in the bag.

Posted by: shadow2009 26th March 2021, 09:47 AM

If they still can't win Best Group with three hit singles (one of them being number 1), a hit album, a TV show and Jesy's departure being one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year plus rolling into their tenth year as a girl group then I genuinely can't see it ever happening. There's nothing else they can do at this point. They have every box ticked to win.

Posted by: shindymindy 26th March 2021, 10:21 AM

Exactly this!

Posted by: spiceboy 29th March 2021, 08:27 PM

I totally agree, but then I'll raise you 3 #1 singles, a #1 album and two in the top 10 in both US and UK, merchandise on pretty much anything you can see and the biggest world tour by a girl group of all time combined with being the biggest selling music act on the planet... and not even a nomination for best group. This is the Brits they can be total idiots.

Posted by: Anth 30th March 2021, 10:56 AM

I think I’m right in saying this but if the girls pick up two nominations they will be the most nominated girl group in BRITs history!

Posted by: jsweetxe 30th March 2021, 11:21 AM

Spice Girls were nominated in 1997- but I agree that not giving it to them at the time was absolutely a mess considering what they achieved.

Little Mix have longevity on their side too and the fact that award shows are slowly realising they are very male and white oriented, so hopefully Little Mix should be within a decent chance.

It's sad though that their gender/race may be what gets them it but not the fact that they genuinely deserve the award for their records/achievements/talent/acclaim and had a better year than any of their peers.

Posted by: jsweetxe 31st March 2021, 08:16 AM

nominations at 4pm today!

Posted by: Anth 31st March 2021, 08:58 AM

I’m gonna go with noms for:
Best British Group
Best British Single- Sweet Melody
Best British Album

Call me optimistic

Posted by: Tafty 31st March 2021, 09:36 AM

I doubt album! But I would say the other 2 are more or less guaranteed, no?

GAHHHH! C'mon ladies!! Hope they're announced as performers soon too!

Posted by: Jo' 31st March 2021, 03:10 PM

Yeaaah ! Nomination for Best Group !

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 31st March 2021, 03:12 PM

No sweet melody!!

Posted by: jsweetxe 31st March 2021, 03:15 PM

Best Group nom!

Posted by: jsweetxe 31st March 2021, 03:27 PM

No best album nomination sadly.

Posted by: shadow2009 31st March 2021, 03:30 PM

What happened to the video category?

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st March 2021, 03:33 PM

It wasn't there last year either

Posted by: jsweetxe 31st March 2021, 03:38 PM

axed.

Posted by: sjadeupdate 31st March 2021, 03:39 PM

Finally a girlgroup in the best group category. About time. Now give them that award for a full redemption.

Disappointed for "Sweet Melody", but the timing wasn't right since more songs sold more. Maybe next year.

We need another iconic performance there too.

Posted by: Tafty 31st March 2021, 03:46 PM

I keep forgetting Single is based on the best selling, which is annoying, but I get it.

They were never gonna get an album nomination so I'm not too bothered about that, I'm just focusing on the getting the Best British Group win! Coz they deserve it so, so much and even if they were up for single, I'd want them to win Group more as I feel like it'd be a real moment in BRITs history.

If they end up performing, they're in with a shot of winning. If they're not performing, I think it's fair to assume they won't get it.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 31st March 2021, 03:49 PM

They should bring Best Music Video category back tbh even if it isn’t fan voted anymore .

Posted by: 365 31st March 2021, 03:52 PM

How far outside the best UK sellers was Sweet Melody?

Posted by: caseclosed 31st March 2021, 04:43 PM

Quite far, I think... I recall browsing through the best selling singles of 2020 thread around here a few weeks ago and when I got to the 10th one it was still near 700,000/800,000...

Posted by: spiceboy 31st March 2021, 05:48 PM

I was referring to the achievements of the year they were not nominated... I thought it was ridiculous they didn't win best newcomer or best group in 1997 too I mean seriously!?!?

I agree re Little Mix however I think if they win it they are the rightful winners this year anyway!

Posted by: Tafty 31st March 2021, 05:54 PM

Their competition:

Best British group

Bicep
Biffy Clyro
Little Mix
The 1975
Young T & Bugsey

Ugh. It's gonna be The 1975 again, isn't it? 😔

Posted by: caseclosed 31st March 2021, 06:18 PM

I think if they're not announced as peformers there's no way they're winning...

Posted by: Slayer 31st March 2021, 07:07 PM

I hope the girls win, they truly deserve it!

Posted by: Juliannnial 31st March 2021, 08:40 PM

Ughh snoooooze if it is.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 31st March 2021, 09:19 PM

They need to change rules for best uk single

Posted by: Tafty 31st March 2021, 10:07 PM

I agree. Songs released in Q4 - unless Ed/Adele kinda massive - are at a real unfair advantage nowadays with streaming

I think they should average their first 4 weeks or their highest 3/4 weeks of sales at the time or something.

Posted by: Bré 31st March 2021, 10:34 PM

I've never understood why the rules are different for the British Single category. Why is it only that one that is based on sales data?

I'm not a fan of 'Sweet Melody' but it pretty clearly deserved a nomination here, I thought they might bend the rules to allow it in but I guess not.

Posted by: George.keh 31st March 2021, 10:41 PM

I think because it’s hosted by Capital- who aren’t necessarily playing the most critically successful music- like the rest of the awards judges for- but the most popular!

Posted by: Juliannnial 31st March 2021, 10:49 PM

Yeh I was thinking something along the lines of the total sales divided by the number of weeks it's been released or something to that degree. Otherwise a steadily selling hit that is released in Q1 can favour massively whilst a big selling smash in Q3 can get sidelined.

Posted by: Juliannnial 1st April 2021, 12:06 AM

Cute!

Posted by: Anth 1st April 2021, 07:24 AM

The optimist side of me has a feeling they are finally gonna win this, this year, all the signs point to them getting it

However the realist in me thinks we are gonna be disappointed again, this is Biffy Clyros 3rd nomination also, they’ve never won this, and the award isn’t based on who’s had the most commercial success.

Urgh I hate waiting! Just host the awards tomorrow 😫

Posted by: jsweetxe 1st April 2021, 09:12 AM

funnily enough one of the biggest categories is sorta based on that lol.

i mean there's been various other years where the winner of best group hasn't done better than the noms (spice girls in 1997 literally no other group in that category had a better year than them) the brits criteria is really odd and muddy. but i agree that i can sorta see them winning it? critical male rock darlings over acclaimed pop girl group is what old white men love

Posted by: Liam.k. 2nd April 2021, 12:21 AM

Absolutely agree with this. I think they will win tbh, I can’t really see a case for the others.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 4th April 2021, 02:21 PM

There is no more they can do to win it really but fingers crossed they win it.

Posted by: shadow2009 20th April 2021, 09:37 AM

I hope they'll be announces as performers. It looks like a really weak line up so far.

Posted by: Tafty 20th April 2021, 09:45 AM

Who's been announced so far? I only know about Dua. (I'm genuinely asking aha I'm so behind lmao)

Posted by: shadow2009 20th April 2021, 10:21 AM

Headie One, Arlo Parks and Griff.

Posted by: shadow2009 27th April 2021, 07:18 PM

Pink, Rag N' Bone Man and Olivia Rodrigo have been confirmed as well.

Saving the best for last?

Posted by: Tafty 27th April 2021, 09:58 PM

None of the Best Group nominees yet?

Usually at least one of them performs (usually the winner)... if there are no performers from that category, I'd say it's still pretty open. But whoever is announced to perform, they'll likely to win.

Come on ladies!

Posted by: shadow2009 28th April 2021, 08:16 AM

To be honest I'd rather see a big performance of Sweet Melody (or a medley with Break Up Song/Confetti) than them win an award.

Is that bad?

Posted by: shindymindy 28th April 2021, 11:15 AM

Um, yes it's bad

I'd like to see both, but would love for them to win the award. It's so overly deserved.

Posted by: jsweetxe 28th April 2021, 12:43 PM

The girls are going to be on Heat Radio this Friday at 4pm chatting about Confetti & their "hope for the Brit awards"

So I would imagine that the Capital announcement earlier in the day is in fact their Brits performance announcement.

Posted by: Slayer 28th April 2021, 01:00 PM

Manifesting a Sweet Melody/Confetti mash-up performance and the girls winning the award!

Posted by: jsweetxe 28th April 2021, 01:21 PM

A massive performance of Confetti just as they win the Best Group award would be ITTTTT.

Posted by: caseclosed 28th April 2021, 01:25 PM

I'd much rather a live performance of Sweet Melody than Confetti.

Posted by: jsweetxe 28th April 2021, 01:52 PM

I wouldn't, for the drama factor, maybe because I feel like they would go off, but we already got our big award show performance of Sweet Melody.

The girls have never performed at the Brits with a current single, as in previous years they were always bound by the "perform your nominated song" rule, but this year they aren't nominated for the Best Single award and Confetti could use the promo, plus Confetti def feels like it would benefit from a bit performance number

Posted by: 1hit1der 28th April 2021, 06:00 PM

I wouldn't mind a Dark Mix medley = Sweet Melody into Confetti

And tbh Sweet Melody deserved the Don't Start Now/Dynamite treatment and number of performances - it should have been everywhere!

Posted by: Tafty 28th April 2021, 06:06 PM

If 'Sweet Melody' was nominated for Best Single, sure. But it's not, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to perform 'Confetti' tbh. I think they're big enough to not have to rely on an older song to pull in viewers. An exclusive performance of 'Confetti' would definitely be more preferable imo. I'd be here for a medley too though!

I really want them to perform a huge piano ballad at some point, on an award show.

Posted by: shadow2009 28th April 2021, 06:55 PM

I sadly don't think Confetti will really be that interesting live, though. It's more chilled out and laid back than their usual stuff and I can't imagine them being able to do much with it choreography wise whereas with Sweet Melody you can easily see them with fire, water, choreography, darkness, warehouse staging etc.

Posted by: Cameron 30th April 2021, 06:58 PM

What did they announce?

Posted by: Anth 4th May 2021, 08:25 PM

Is anyone else really convinced they are going to win this? I’m not just saying it because I love them to death they truly deserve it, they have to be the ones to beat in this category.
Come on BRITs just give it to them!

Posted by: legendsglory 4th May 2021, 08:40 PM

I have a really strong feeling too actually. I’d say it’s between them and The 1975 again....

Posted by: sjadeupdate 4th May 2021, 08:54 PM

I have a strong feeling too. This has to be the year. Everything is ligned up for them to win. No shade to 1975 but Little Mix's momentum ever since "Sweet Melody" and "Confetti" (album and even the single) came out feels big.

Posted by: Anth 4th May 2021, 09:27 PM

That’s how I feel aswell, yes I understand it’s not always about who has had the most commercial success but LM have paid their dues and really deserve it, the 1975 have won this twice, I’m sure even they would say give it to the girls this year.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th May 2021, 09:30 PM

FWIW, The 1975 have been on a break for quite a while now in between albums. So I wouldn't expect them to perform or attend tbh!

Posted by: sjadeupdate 5th May 2021, 09:24 AM

Yes, that's exactly it. It isn't just that they are commercially successful, cause if it was just that, they should have won "Best Group" during the "Get Weird" or even more the "Glory Days" era. I think they have paid their dues, their longevity is unseen for a girlgroup, and there's no sign of slowing down, if there's a girlgroup who deserves it just because of these criterias, it's them.

Posted by: sjadeupdate 5th May 2021, 09:26 AM

Sounds good for Little Mix, there's no way they are gonna miss the Brits this year, i don't know about a performance at this point, but their chances to win a very strong, more than ever.

Posted by: shadow2009 5th May 2021, 12:12 PM

They're definitely not performing now. The Weeknd has been announced so I guess they saved the best til last.

Real shame.

Posted by: Anth 5th May 2021, 12:18 PM

I was hoping there might still be a slight chance of a performance but Leigh Anne’s pregnancy announcement kind of dashed those chances for me, If covid had not been about I think there might have still been a slight chance as singers such as Beyoncé have performed whilst being a few months pregnant but given the circumstances I don’t think it’s best to put herself and the babies health at risk.
I still have everything crossed that this won’t damage there chances of winning!

Posted by: Anth 5th May 2021, 12:20 PM

Also I wonder if they will actually attend?

Posted by: sjadeupdate 5th May 2021, 12:20 PM

6 days before the Brits. Yeah, i don't think they are performing at this point.

Posted by: 365 5th May 2021, 12:55 PM

Leigh is maybe too pregnant for them to perform.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 5th May 2021, 01:14 PM

I think there definitely attending they were talking about attending in a few interviews last week while promoting Confetti .

Posted by: sjadeupdate 5th May 2021, 01:31 PM

I'm sure they will, especially when they could make history by winning the "Best Group" category.

Posted by: Robbie. 7th May 2021, 12:51 PM

Daily Mail are reporting that the girls are performing at the BRITs next week.. don't know how true it is especially with Leigh being pregnant.

Posted by: Slayer 7th May 2021, 01:01 PM

I just saw this too.

Jade was at what appears to be some sort of fitting today..

If anything it is probably a red carpet dress fitting - if they are even attending that is.

Posted by: caseclosed 7th May 2021, 01:09 PM

They wouldn't not attend when they're so hungry for that award.

Posted by: Anth 7th May 2021, 03:35 PM

Imagine they end up doing a surprise performance and they perform My Love Won’t Let You Down, the lyrics could be interpreted to be about Jesy leaving or Leigh’s pregnancy, probably won’t happen, just a thought 😅

Posted by: Benji89 7th May 2021, 03:46 PM

Don't even speak that into existence. There's no ballad on the album good enough for a performance like that, they missed a trick with Monster in Me though. I think it'd more likely be a break up song on strictly type performance if they were going for a lower energy.

To be honest though i don't see why leigh anne wouldn't be able to do choreo i don't think she's that far gone

Posted by: Anth 7th May 2021, 03:55 PM

Yeah I didn’t think it would be everyone’s cup of tea haha

Posted by: 365 7th May 2021, 05:45 PM

I don't think they're performing.

Posted by: Anth 7th May 2021, 06:26 PM

No it doesn’t look that way, maybe next year

Posted by: Slayer 7th May 2021, 06:48 PM

Screaming and Leigh's mom responding to this fake tweet!

Did she leak or?

Posted by: Frenchie 7th May 2021, 06:50 PM

I would of though she would know if the girls were performing or not. Bit sus.

Posted by: shadow2009 7th May 2021, 07:16 PM

This is so bizarre. I doubt they are performing but her Mum saying that makes it odd - if they weren’t performing she surely would have confirmed it was fake?

Posted by: Slayer 7th May 2021, 07:36 PM

They are NOT performing

Posted by: troylovesmusic 10th May 2021, 01:41 PM

It’s literally there time and moment to win this tomorrow . The Brits are trash if they don’t give it to them .

Posted by: Anth 10th May 2021, 01:43 PM

This will be such a moment if they do win it

Posted by: Tafty 10th May 2021, 05:33 PM

I really hope they cap off a brilliant month with that record BRITs win tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited. Idk if it's just coz of all the goodwill towards them lately but I'm feeling oddly confident about tomorrow...

I've probs jinxed it now tbh lmao. SORRY!!!

Posted by: Slayer 10th May 2021, 05:42 PM

It'd be a MOMENT if they won

They deserve it SO much!

I hope we get cute photos of them together on the red carpet! Do we have 100% confirmation that they are definitely attending?

Also they are on LIVE on TikTok in 20 MINUTES!!

Posted by: Anth 10th May 2021, 06:27 PM

You couldn’t have put it any better! There seems to be ALOT of momentum for them going into tomorrow night!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 10th May 2021, 09:09 PM

They've confirmed it in a few interviews that there attending .

Posted by: shadow2009 11th May 2021, 03:08 PM

I really can't see The 1975 winning again. They won in 2017 and 2019 (both times Little Mix were nominated) however they did get a #1 album that went Gold and a hit single. It would be a bit of an uproar if these guys won again in particular.

Biffy Clyro also got a #1 album and a couple of top 40 hits HOWEVER they've never won Best Group either (only been nominated twice).

I've never heard of Bicep but they did get a #2 album. They haven't had any top 40 singles from it however they could be a winner just for the shock/WTF/'credible' drama.

Young T and Bugsy have no chance - they only had one hit single in 2020 which was purely because of Tik Tok. Their album missed the top 40 and they aren't a touring act or have much of a fanbase BUT they did get a hit in America which would make them the only group in the category to have done so.

I don't think any of them had any cultural impact or been newsworthy in the last year and none of them have had a single anywhere near as big as any of the Confetti ones. Little Mix have every box ticked - hit singles (Platinum #1 and three top 15's that will all be Gold inevitably), hit album (#2 and still in the top 40), a Saturday night TV show on BBC One, numerous televised TV performances that were amazing (Touch on One World, Live Lounge, Strictly, The Search, Jonathan Ross, EMA's) and Jesy leaving was one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year plus Leigh and Perrie got over 2 million Likes on Instagram with their pregnancy announcements and a girl group has never won the award.

There is so much momentum for the girls right now and while I can't say I care that much about an award, it would definitely be underwhelming and a missed opportunity to award it to a male 'rock' group again.

Posted by: George.keh 11th May 2021, 03:24 PM

Bicep gained huge traction this year there seems to be a lot of buzz around them- Apricots in particular gained a lot of attention in the dance circles of radio and publications etc- however it’s Little Mix’s to lose for sure and dare I say The 1975 is their weakest opposition? I see Biffy, Bicep and Young T & Bugsy way more likely- but again- I think it’s almost certainly Little Mix’s

Posted by: Robbie. 11th May 2021, 03:36 PM

This has to be the girls year!

Posted by: Zak 11th May 2021, 04:15 PM

Not getting my hopes up for this at all 💀. I imagine The 1975 will get it for the 19th time

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th May 2021, 04:22 PM

If they don’t win there’s absolutely no chance a girl group will ever win the award, which is awful. If they win it’s a win for the Spice Girls, All Saints, Sugababes & Girls Aloud all of who deserved to win during their respective nominations, it’ll be monumental. I really hope they get it. 😭

Posted by: Tafty 11th May 2021, 04:38 PM

Low-key think Young T and Bugsey are their biggest threat.

Posted by: Anth 11th May 2021, 04:50 PM

This, I’ve read loads about them being the potential dark horses to win

Posted by: shadow2009 11th May 2021, 04:52 PM

If Young T and Bugsy win (as much as I love them) for doing f*** all in 2020 besides drop an album on streaming sites then that's seriously wrong. I don't think they did ANYTHING the entire year - even their only hit single was released at the end of 2019 and only picked up because of Tik Tok.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 11th May 2021, 05:09 PM

I’m not holding out any hope.

I almost don’t want to watch it this year because I know if they lose yet again I’ll actually be totally devastated knowing it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever get a chance again.

Posted by: Frenchie 11th May 2021, 05:12 PM

I’m still hopeful they can win it.

But if they don’t win it this year I highly doubt they ever will.

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 11th May 2021, 05:19 PM

Really really hoping they can finally do it this year!

Posted by: shadow2009 11th May 2021, 05:44 PM

I don't know about the other groups but Young T and Bugsy are also on the red carpet.

Anyone know if the other groups are there?

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th May 2021, 06:33 PM

Posted by: shadow2009 11th May 2021, 06:37 PM

Wow they look amazing.

Who would have thought six months ago the Brits would roll around and they'd be a 3 piece with two members pregnant on the red carpet??

I really can’t watch this because I don’t think they’ve won it.

I’m so scared.

Posted by: Tafty 11th May 2021, 07:23 PM

Was hoping they'd give Young T & Bugsy the Breakthrough so that they didn't have to give them group!

I'm on such a high! I'm so f***ing proud.

"If One Direction couldn't win X Factor, Little Mix won't" they did.
"If [Spice Girls/One Direction/Girls Aloud/Sugababes] couldn't win Best British Group, Little Mix won't" they did.

Both quotes I've read, seen or heard.

It took 10 years of them being together and constantly achieving new peaks and records so far into their careers, but they did it.

So well deserved - this is definitely going to give them an even bigger urge to carry on smashing it.

Posted by: spiceboy 11th May 2021, 08:51 PM

So lovely to see Little Mix win they, they truly are one of the defining British girl bands. Their speech was so classy and I absolutely love that they mentioned Spice Girls, Sugababes, All Saints and Girls Aloud, all of those bands deserve to have been recognised too, good on Little Mix for calling out the sexism of the BRITS in such a classy way!

Posted by: pippa 11th May 2021, 09:11 PM

Very classy speech by the girls.

Posted by: Dane 11th May 2021, 09:24 PM

Honestly so over the moon. Made me so emotional, from voting for them on X Factor to them winning Best Group. The speech was everything, I feel so proud. & Jesy has also posted about it which is lovely.

Posted by: Warwick Avenue 11th May 2021, 10:05 PM

Great news! Congratulations girls!

I’ll need to watch this when it’s on tv here tonight or tomorrow.

Posted by: Tafty 11th May 2021, 10:06 PM

Still on such a high and Jesy responding to it...

WHAT A TIME.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th May 2021, 11:02 PM

Good to see Jesy respond and also good they mentioned her in their speech, if neither had done that i would have been thinking the worst.

Posted by: Juliannnial 12th May 2021, 12:46 AM

I am a couple of hours behind because I had a cheeky sesh in London this afternoon and didn't get back until 11 and I made a point of avoiding social media on the train so I didn't spoil myself and as soon as I walked in the door I put the awards on (I watch it every year religiously) and I didn't so much agree with every winner but I predicted the majority of them correctly. I'm happy LM was announced early on... and I don't think my neighbours appreciated my shreeking and hollering, but it was what is was. I cried.

Before the award was announced I paused the TV, turned to my boyfriend and said "You don't understand... if they don't win I'm not watching this award show ever again... AND if they win, it won't just be for themselves, it will be for Spice Girls, All Saints, Sugababes and Girls Aloud... and I want to say The Saturdays just for a nom they were close to getting." to which he responded "THE SPICE GIRLS NEVER WON!?!" I just said... "Don't even get me started." and pressed play.

YES!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Chemistry 12th May 2021, 05:05 AM

YESSS!! After all these years, I honestly wasn't expecting anything anymore so this is such a lovely and very deserved surprise. That speech was beautiful as well, Jade mentioning the other girl groups almost made me tear up. I love them all so much <3

Posted by: shadow2009 12th May 2021, 09:22 AM

I LOVED the speech. It was so classy and I love how they actually made the effort to plan it in advance and thank as many people as possible.

Does anyone remember that time The Arctic Monkeys won an award a few years back (maybe best Group or best Album?) and their speech was so f***ing arrogant and insulting? They acted like they thought the award was beneath them.

Posted by: Slayer 12th May 2021, 12:48 PM

SO SO HAPPY FOR THEM!

I literally was so emotional last night, such a perfect speech.

Last night was a MOMENT.

I love that Jesy posted about it too!

Posted by: Juliannnial 12th May 2021, 12:52 PM

It's got me thirsty for a 'Greatest Hits' era. The way they're headed we could be in for a 2 disc special if it ever happens.

Posted by: Tafty 12th May 2021, 01:34 PM

I would probably get one out this year to celebrate 10 years. Promo won't be available ofc but I feel like apart from airplay for a new song, solid playlisting and Jade doing the interview circuit on her own if needed etc.. that would be enough I think.

Posted by: Tafty 12th May 2021, 01:58 PM

Love these girl groups tweeting about this win

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 12th May 2021, 02:09 PM

Nice that they acknowledged previous girl group nominees. A nice touch. Long overdue that a girl group won.

Posted by: legendsglory 12th May 2021, 02:18 PM

I still cant believe they finally won Best Group.. So so deserved

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 12th May 2021, 02:50 PM

Ya im thirsty for it to and i think now would be the right time to release it to celebrate 10 years and also close out of the years of Jesy been involved with the group, when they return from maternity leave they can start a whole new era off for Little Mix and hopefully have another 10 great years.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 12th May 2021, 03:33 PM

Oasis and Fleetwoid Mac despite releasing no new material have done very well, big result for a little mix but I'm surprised they are ahead of adele.

Posted by: Liam.k. 12th May 2021, 07:28 PM

It was expected but no less thrilling to see Little Mix win Best Group. I loved their speech too; they seemed so grateful, humble and came across as real people.

I know people were joking when they say they 'snubbed' The Saturdays in their speech, but it looks to me that they only mentioned the girl groups that had previously received Best Group nominations. I also don't see why Little Mix would have been particularly inspired by The Saturdays either.

Posted by: spiceboy 12th May 2021, 08:07 PM

This sounds perfect to me!

Posted by: Chemistry 13th May 2021, 05:40 AM

I agree. And also, as much as I love The Saturdays, they have never been in the same league as the other groups that were mentioned either. The fact the didn't mention Vanilla on the other hand... such a shame

Posted by: Juliannnial 13th May 2021, 09:21 AM

Exactly even I got it and everyone knows how crazy I am about The Sats. I'm still gutted 'What About Us' missed out on a spot for 'Best British Single' by the skin of it's teeth.

Posted by: Tafty 17th May 2021, 02:20 PM

Posted by: shadow2009 17th May 2021, 03:09 PM

I was expecting that to be really cringey and desperate but all three of them were hilarious. I remember Jade went to the Work and Greatest Hits tour so it's nice to know that The Sats were somewhat of an inspiration to them as well.

Posted by: spiceboy 17th May 2021, 03:50 PM

That is hilarious 🤣

Posted by: Anth 17th May 2021, 09:03 PM

Whilst we are on the subject of The Saturdays, did anyone else see them as a Girls Aloud rip off at times? They had 0 originality about them and the personalities of the band members never really shone through? I always felt like they were always struggling, they never really had that “Glory Days” era did they, well maybe the Chasing Lights era and that’s it.
And there performances were always dreadful! Just YouTube Just Can’t Get Enough from Comic Relief 2009!

All Fired Up is a banger though 😂

Posted by: George.keh 17th May 2021, 09:10 PM

Um? This is giving whoever left that bizarre rant about Little Mix a week or two ago tease. I actually didn’t get much “Girls Aloud”
rip-off at all but it’s Buzzjack so of course we’ve got someone comparing women for the sake of comparing women

Posted by: Anth 17th May 2021, 09:14 PM

I’m not comparing women for the sake of comparing women at all, these are just my opinions which I have every right to share 😊

Posted by: George.keh 17th May 2021, 09:19 PM

I’m not saying you don’t have the right to share them! I struggle to see how they should be compared when they’re different acts? If you don’t like one, don’t listen, no-ones forcing you but it’s always women in music being compared to other women and it’s tiring- especially on this forum. If no-one agrees then sobeit but there’s no reason the two groups couldn’t co-exist but I guess because they’re both British 5-pieces they’re being compared? Guess I’ll go commenting on Stooshe in the Sugababes forum

Posted by: Anth 17th May 2021, 09:30 PM

It appears I’ve opened a can of worms 😂

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th May 2021, 08:00 AM

i don't think the sats were a GA rip off, music was completely different and so was their style/image. GA definitely was meant to appease to.. I would say "older girls", like 17-19 mainly with angsty songs and I think were also meant to be a girl group to push GOOD music (even if it didn't always land due to the limitations of the members)

the sats didn't really have a direction, i felt like little mix coming in like 2(1?) years later overshadowed them completely and their music/image/performances etc just weren't good enough to find a niche

Posted by: Jade 29th May 2021, 04:42 PM

This playlist is on point *.*

Posted by: Dangerous Julian 29th May 2021, 04:55 PM

Look at them squeezing Nostalgia in there! But yeh bloody great choices.

EDIT: Notice GRL are missing... Imagine if Ugly Heart was there!!

Posted by: Tafty 30th May 2021, 10:41 PM

Not them missing off GRL & Stooshe but including UNPERFECT!!!!

Posted by: jsweetxe 31st May 2021, 06:04 PM

tbh GRL used their dead band members account to tweet from over the Ugly Heart mess so I'm glad they were skipped over

Stooshe is odd though cus Black Heart was kinda big. I don't rly like unperfect but to be included on a Little Mix playlist and be under that "girl group umbrella" that Little Mix govern over is kinda incredible for them considering how unheard of that group is
