10. F.U. [Avg. 7.91]

 

 

Into the top 10 we go and kick starting us is the sassy, 50's esque, 'Love Me Like You's baby sister, 'F.U.'. A song in which the girls successfully create their own alphabet. Although it's a down tempo, swaying left to right bop, the lyrics in this are some of the sassiest the girls have ever laid their vocals to. I'd gladly swap this track for 'You Gotta Not' or 'Down & Dirty' to be top 10, but it's a great song!

 

HIGHLIGHT: The final chorus. Things pick up and the way it ends with Jesy's 'F.U.' is perfect.

F.U. is easily in my top 5, didn't realise it was not that appreciated even though an almost 8 average isn't half bad. The final chorus is amazing especially, would love it to be a future single actually although unlikely :(

The weaker tracks are out, the bloodbath can start, fully expecting one of my favourite Your Love out next :(

F.U. is one of my favorites Little Mix songs EVER. SO strong, I feel every single lyric. Would love to see a video for it too, but that's probably impossible.

Something I wrote (with help of Jay on popjustice a month back):

 

I fell for the melodies and vocals in 'You Gotta Not' in the end, but Meghan's lyrics just kill the song for me. I know we live in a world where white males are the dominant force but singing about what it is to be a man is really irritating, and if the tables were turned a boyband wouldn't get away with it.

 

Call your momma "mommy"

Girl, you have a song called 'Dance Like Your Daddy', and created the abomination that is 'Mom', let's not go there.

You ain't even workin', boy get a job

Never keep your house clean

What's the likelihood of a young man having his own house but no job? Hmmm.

Oh, you don't like kids?

What?

And you still smoke cigs? (Ew)

Poor Britney.

Do you still use a bluetooth?

Actually, "Apple Air-Drop" is very useful and is faster for sending images from phone to phone than wifi. Also. Bluetooth speakers.

You love whitey-tightys

We get it, you like masc4masc, who wear baggy boxers with no shape. I'll stick to my Calvins.

'Cause they only show off your muffin top

Not Jesy singing this line when she's spoken out so much about online bullying because of her body image.

But you kinda hot, so I thought, why not?

After all that...Sis....

It just confuses me....lyrics aside, banger though.

 

Hahaha!! Yaaaasss! This post had me living! :yahoo:

 

 

EDIT: PS, Your Love is clearly out next.

Personally I'm amazed that You Gotta Not is above Nobody Like You, but that's just my opinion

This rate will be tough for me cause I like basically everything except for Down & Dirty.

09. OOPS (feat. Charlie Puth) [Avg. 8.03]

 

 

Up next we have the potential (and heavily rumoured) 3rd single, 'Oops'. Which features 2015/16 teenage and Robot heartthrob, Charlie Puth. Upon first listen this was far too corny and cheesy for me to take too seriously. However, 3 listens or so in, and you can CLEARLY hear and understand why it's set to be a single. It's infectious. Contagious. No matter if you love it or hate it, it's getting in your head. As a mixer, we just have to learn to embrace it and you know what, it is actually a brilliant carefree, feel good Summer pop smash!

 

HIGHLIGHT: Jade & Charlie's middle 8!

08. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS [Avg. 8.12]

 

 

Into the top 8 we go and next it's the euphoric and feel good anthem, 'Nothing Else Matters'. This was the last (?) instant grat track to be taken from the album the day before the album release. I absolutely love this song. The power of it is incredible. So melodic and euphoric in it's sound. It really reminds me of 'Emotion' era Carly Rae (Joe disagrees and think it's more One Direction). This could become a highlight of the 'Glory Days' tour! It has a HUGE chorus which just boasts "arena singalong", hands clapping in the air, moment. Such a perfect way to close the standard album.

 

HIGHLIGHT: The final chorus which was clearly MADE for an arena show!

Your Love has to be out next. And then it'll be perfect Top 6.

07. YOUR LOVE [Avg. 8.30]

 

 

Next at #7 is the super sultry and lush, Island inspired, 'Your Love'. This is the definition of a KILLER filler imo. What I love the most about this song is the fact that Leigh takes the reigns and she absolutely smashes it! This is the sort of thing I can see her releasing (and being successful with tbh) if she was to ever go solo. It's so sensual and smooth! Can't WAIT to hear this when the sun is out during Spring/Summer! It's a grower of a song.

 

HIGHLIGHT: Leigh's note. You know which note! *.*

06. TOUCH (Acoustic) [Avg. 8.53]

 

 

The unlucky track to fall short of the top 5, is the last of the bonus tracks, but manages to out perform the other 2 quite significantly, 'Touch (Acoustic)'. As always with acoustic/acapella versions, the girls vocals absolutely SLAY EVERYTHING. This is one of the ultimate acoustic recordings for me. They absolutely smash it out the park and it's such a nice track to have as a bonus track. Looking forward to hearing this in the Live Lounge! (SURELY? RIGHT? :kink:)

 

HIGHLIGHT: All their vocals and the HARMONIES!

 

Likers: Karl., JosephStyles & BigMixer (10.0)

Haters: HausofBallBalls (6.0)

And so that concludes the top 5!

 

Alphabetical order:

 

- No More Sad Songs

- Power

- Private Show

- Shout Out To My Ex

- Touch

 

Speculation and comments on the tracks that I've run down so far, before the final results tomorrow night! :D

Give us the top 5

Give us the top 5

I'm going to bed as I have an early shift tomorrow! :(

 

If Joe wants to give you a couple more, he's more than welcome to!

My guess would be Private Show out next, although that says more about the quality of the other songs

'Nothing Else Matters' should be higher.

I'll do one soonish!

These results are a STATE. Oops, F.U. and You Gotta Not below Your Love........ :mellow:

SOTME in the Top 5, mess.
