Ok, am going to have to watch it again

It was a strong performance in most, the miming of the chorus let the performance down. The dance moves were wonderful and it was so energetic. Black Magic as its out so long and sold well wont get a huge boost, that said, i would be disappointed if the album doesn't see a sales increase this week regardless of its position.

The performance was just as awesome as I remember :yahoo: It is a shame they haven't had bigger boosts on both single, and album, but it was always going to be difficult to get Black Magic to sell much more with it already selling so well. Surprised the album hasn't had a better boost though, it looks like they're experiencing the worst boost of all the performers, but maybe with them being a girlband that was to be expected as well <_<

 

Also rewatching the performance, I don't think the chorus was completely mimed. It sounded like Leigh-Anne was singing little bits of it here and there, to give it a more live feeling :wub:

The mics were on during the chorus just incase they wanted to sing I think (coz like you, I could hear little bits here and there). But I guess the label decided it was best if they took it easy on the chorus due to the performance.

 

Also, I knew it wouldn't affect the album too much. It's not much of an album selling song unlike 'Love Me Like You' or 'Secret Love Song', imo. It's far too pop for it to sell the album alone. I'm sure they'll get a sales boost of some sort, but I do think the other performers will experience bigger boosts. Lets hope Ant & Dec on Saturday can keep the album steady!

Also rewatching the performance, I don't think the chorus was completely mimed. It sounded like Leigh-Anne was singing little bits of it here and there, to give it a more live feeling :wub:

Agreed. In the final chorus where they do their thing with warbles here and there were definitely live. I don't think it matters that they mimed the main body of the chorus as it was clear why they did and it's clear they've proven themselves in the rest of the performance. I'd say one would be pretty pedantic to judge the whole performance based on that little bit of miming.

agreed. The chorus didn't need to be sung live with the performance being so high energy.

 

In terms of the album, that makes sense now you've said it Jonjo. Black Magic does feel like an impact single, where as LMLY and SLS are more album singles

Tbf, given how their performance probably surprised people, it could possibly have a bigger effect on the album than anticipated.

JEEEEZ. I had to turn the BRITS off last night because of pre drinks but that lived up to my expectations AND MORE. Seriously, world class, they really are.

I think the best thing about the performance is seeing how happy they were to be there and be performing on that stage! It's absolutely wonderful to see them like that and it really couldn't be more deserved. Their progression to this stage in their career was very natural and thus making it feel more deserving. They've worked so hard for that moment and pulled it out the bag big time.

 

It's a great time to be a Mixer and I really believe that they will only progress further from here. :wub:

Preach it! :yahoo:

 

Digital Spy also sited their performance as the best performance of the night :wub:

I'm actually so glad they did Black Magic. I know we're all caught up on chart positions here but as I've distanced from this site, I don't really care AS much these days. The show was littered in ballads and a total lack of life, which Little Mix really injected AND MORE. I may have seen this perform it live many times now, but no matter how many, they still manage to bring something fresh which gets me SO excited each and every time. That's the sign of absolute stars <3.
