Apart from the miming comments, the twitter reaction is generally positive, hopefully it provides a boost for the song.

Not as good as it could have been, pretty shaky in parts. Quite like the routine and they looked great as per. Hated that echoey effect with the backing vocals at the start of the performance when Rochelle and Una sang their opening lines. Then again it seems to happen to most performances when artists perform on the show, not the best set for sound.

Hopefully the Loose Women performance will be better, but I'm not raising my hopes up.

It's amazing how they can be absolutely flawless when performing acoustic yet when it comes to studio performances they're miming, drowned out by backing vocals or sound awful.

Performance and interview on YouTube

This Morning always have dreadful performances though

I've listened back with headphones and as far as I can tell.

 

Started with some problems during the intro, then...

Rochelle's solo - sung live with weird backing vocals that echoed

Una's solo - sung live with weird backing vocals that echoed

Mollie's solo - completely mimed

Vanessa's solo - sung live with weird backing vocals

Frankie's solo - mimed with live harmonies from Vanessa, Una and Rochelle

Chorus - two members sung live (I think Vanessa and Rochelle) and the rest mimed

Rochelle's ad libs - live

 

Una was terrible in the chorus :lol:

Frankie and Mollie = highlights of the performance for me.

I really like the interview, I hope they have coloured tights <3

Oh the first 'If You tell me no' is live from mollie, you can hear her saliva Lol

Ew.

They should've done an acoustic performance tbh. What were they thinking?

Frankie and Mollie = highlights of the performance for me.

 

Why? They were the only two that mimed.

 

It says alot when the two members of the band who never sing live/are shit singers are the most popular. Thank God for Rochelle and Vanessa who actually bother singing live. What's the point of calling yourself a singer if you're just going to mime every time you have to promote a single? It's pathetic.

That was one of their worst performances.

Rochelle was the only decent one, as was Vanessa but to a lesser extent, Una was bad but not as bad as the others.

They so obviously mimed it was painful

Vanessa was live during the chorus, she sang the "Hit me"part in her head voice and "Got me... wide open" in her normal register.

 

Also there's someone popping up live on some moments during the post-chorus, you can hear it when they sing "Never giving up".

I'm pretty sure it's Rochelle singing some lines live in the chorus, maybe also one of the others on a couple of lines.

I didn't like the echo-y parts of Rochelle and there Vanessa is 90% always good. I loved Frankie & Mollie in the interview and their presence really :wub:

I think it's certain that it will peak at 14 on iTunes. It's a great shame they have no promotion tomorrow or tonight - they're only 3.5% behind the top 10 now.

 

Even it it does climb higher on iTunes - all other artists above them / a little below have versions charting high in the top 200!

I wonder where they are in the midweeks?

 

They would probably have only needed a little bit more promo to get inside the top 10. Whether it was Ant and Dec or a daytime appearance on Radio 1.
