I wouldn't say Frankie looked fedup, I would say she just looked uncomfortable, and with a person growing inside her I can see why.

I think they did a good job, but I don't think any of them are fully capable of covering for Rochelle. Una's voice sounds too thin on her lines. I love the fact that I got to hear Mollie rap "I need a DRAKE! I need a LUDACRIS!" but after hearing it I understand why they left her off that part of the song :lol: Frankie did better than I thought but that's probably because I expect very little from her as far as vocals and energy.

 

Because she's an alto so she's technically the most suited to cover Rochelle's lines...but the thing is Rochelle belt quite a lot which Mollie can't do, that's why they gave it to Una. Most of Rochelle's low vocals were given to Mollie anyway. Plus, Vanessa and Una couldn't do that part as Vanessa is singing the rap before it and Una after it. And Frankie was never going to be able to do it. :lol: She f***ed up her line on the rap, as it wasn't enough.

 

I didn't think Frankie look particularly bored, but she wasn't really excited either. There was also the usual awkward smile on Vanessa's face as always. Mollie and Una were the ones really going for it, but since Una can't dance, it looks like only Mollie did the job right, but we have to give some credits to Una for the effort!

What? I thought this was the most excited Frankie had been in a while. :lol: She seemed to be giving it everything, despite being pregnant! I was worrying at times that she'd slip or something! :lol: (Thankfully she didn't! :P)

 

This, I thought Frankie delivered very well.

 

Did anybody like the extra beats on Notorious? It was incredible.

I loved it! I was also noticeable on All Fired Up and What About Us or am I just crazy? :lol:

I liked their performance, Gentlemen sounded really good as well. I enjoyed hearing Issues most of all, I haven't heard that in a LONG time.

i want that set in HQ with Queen vocals! beat was so crazy and infectious! the band were great!

Frankie's belly is HUGE already!

 

 

They did an amazing job, but I'm not feeling Frankie's vocals, they always sound so robotic

Everyone is always so quick to stick up for Frankie (she's pregnant, she's depressed, she's self-conscious, she's sick) but it's her job to get on stage and put on a good show. You can at least act like you're excited, force a few smiles/laughter, etc. If you're a motivational speaker and you get on stage and are dull and monotone you will quickly be out of a job and this should be no different. I feel that she puts a damper on their performances and it's her own choice. She is by far the most capable when it comes to dancing and she's always been the general public's favorite. I doubt Mollie, Una, and Rochelle always feel fantastic but at least they act like it. Vanessa I won't comment on because she is very middle of the road. But this conversation has been had many times before so I'll stop there.

 

I just find it so odd that at one time Vanessa and Frankie were the ones that held the group together and now the other three have taken over. I'm waiting for things to level out.

That comment is wrong on so many levels.

 

I'm sticking up for Frankie because I thought she did really well? It's not my opinion. You're entitled to an opinion but I don't think it's necessary speaking regarding depression etc.

I agree with you babe. :heart:

I think we read into their performances far too much to the point of sounding paranoid for someone else.

Most likely, yes, ha! :lol:

All Fired Up and Notorious don't work live at all. The chorus on Notorious just sounds so flat and Vanessa/Una always sound strained and barely audible. As for All Fired Up, Vanessa is a wreck on it and the chorus again just sounds really flat and shouty. Maybe it sounds better in the audience but every TV performance I've seen of either song has been a shambles.

 

Gentleman sounded good but the crowd was dead (obviously, as it was the first performance) so I can't really comment on it but I thought Vanessa sounded fantastic on the rap and Mollie done very well on the chorus.

 

What About Us sounded alright but again, there were times it just didn't click with me.

 

I dunno, they're not really about the vocals so they should be making up for it with choreography and personality but they just seem very dull lately and it's probably because of the constant pregnancies.

I miss the "up beat" performances they used to deliver....heck I even miss performances like GMTV's If This Is Love (and not only for Frankie slipping, although I wouldn't dare wish that on her now lol). For me the performances of their dance infused songs are the most dreary considering they don't have the right choreography for it. It's literally in the genre title, dance.

 

Which is why I cant wait for Rochelle to get back and for Gentleman to be in full swing (oh Frankie haha).

I have a feeling Rochelle will come back for the Gentleman promo in July even if she's not all tiny again yet. I don't think she wants to miss more performances.

Yeah, Rochelle will be back within a couple of weeks, thankfully her and Una are the most committed to the band, I wish I could share the same optimism for Frankie. I'm sure Frankie has the worst attendance out of all the girls.

So Hopefully she will be back for the Summer Time Ball because it is a massive event!

I don't think she will,that's in 2 weeks.I think we'll be lucky if she's back to promote Gentleman.

yeah I see now that she would have to come back and learn choreography, it would be to much for her to take :( shame that she is missing the 2 biggest dates they have

I have to tell you, this is the worse Saturdays single ever. It's all Una Healy's strong vocals backed up by mostly rap from the other members. It will reach top 10, due to popularity, but it will sell less than 30 Days.
