10 episodes is very good, this means they can flesh everything out- I'm more interested in the content from the girls than the new group tbh lol

 

Also that part about a star-studded finale? I wonder if the girls will finally perform with other artists as well?

 

This is sounding so damn exciting. With 6 bands and 1 going each week until 2 are left, I assume, that would put the live shows starting on the 31st October, as the last episode is going to air on 28th November (providing 1 episode a week with 1 band going each week) which means if they were wanting to properly coincide the album release with The Search it would be the 30th, but they could let the album build for a bit, so I'm still expecting an October release date.

 

Since the live shows could start on Halloween I hope the girls perform E.T but with like FULL Little Mix theatrics, that would be pretty cool.

Surely they won’t leave the album release until after the show, right?

 

I’m expecting a mid/late October release for the album.

 

As for viewing figures, the girls were doing promo today so i assume it’s for this show and they have more interviews planned along with the buses spreading the word... so i think it will open with around 5.5-6m.. As stated above Jesys documentary opened with 3.3m so i can see this doing way more as it’s a new talent show and people will want to check it out for something new to watch.

The show finished at the end of November. So I don’t think they would.

 

I feel like the album release date depends on how their team want the album to do. If they release it whilst the show is airing but before the live shows it’ll probably have the better longevity. It’ll chart well (no one big is releasing in October they could bag that #1) and continue growing and gaining sales when the live shows start, as that is what will people in IMO and once it finishes its Christmas period, so theyll gain sales that way.

 

Or they can release as the live shows start and miss out on prime no competitions during the mid weeks of October.

 

This is all v stressful and exciting haha

I'm sure the ratings will be good and I'm excited to see the girls but talent shows are soooooo dated nowadays. We've been forced to live through about 20 years worth of X-Factor, Britains Got Talent, The Voice, Masked Singer, Let It Shine, Popstars, American Idol and other random flops that I just can't help but think the actual show itself won't really be offering anything particularly fresh or produce any stars.

 

Maybe if the girls themselves each had a category/band so it was more competitive? Or stood out a bit?

I think the plan for this show is to use the girl's magnetic personalities, they're always highly praised whenever they do something that just requires their own character and personality, so I think that's their selling point. X-Factor and BGT etc are so dead because the judges usually aren't as charismatic or entertaining, especially not currently, whereas Little Mix aren't "TV Judges", they're just them.

 

I do agree that it probably won't produce a big worldwide act, or even a local act, groups/bands are a dying brand and really only gain anything significant if they're a legacy act or a K-POP act, which I assume will die out soon as Western consumers get bored, quickly.

 

 

They have officially announced The Search on Instagram for the 26th!

A bit of promo from today:

 

 

:lol: Amazing.

Starts 26th September, 7pm - 8:15pm.

Excellent slot for it.

So it'll only clash with BGT for 15 mins which is good!

Perfect slot.

That’s a prime slot

I feel like this is going to do well for them

Double premiere next weekend!

Since there's 2 episodes airing on the same weekend, that brings the end date for this on the 22nd November, which means that date regarding the album release is more than likely fake, because why would they release it AFTER The Search? Unless they aim to build on the album and then release it the week after? Which still doesn't make sense but..

Is it good to air it on Sunday as well? Are the ratings good? I hope it doesn't air every Sunday since it would end too fast.

Ratings are traditionally good on a Sunday, however there’s very few talent shows that air on a Sunday, meaning not much to base it off.

So confetti is out (just short of) two weeks after The Search final? Hmm

This is terrible timing... and they won’t have a platform where they can promote it the week they release it or the followingr weeks.

They could perform on shows like Graham Norton, hasnt his show got the live audience back? And Strictly is starting soon. The One Show too etc. It just wont be THEIR show which isnt the worst thing i guess as its only 12 days after the final so its still fresh and its not like it will be forgotten that quickly.

 

It seems bad now but im sure their team has thought it all through..

Yeah here’s hoping! At least their preorders will be great, surely!

The album doesn’t need to be released during The Search it will build up pre orders throughout the weeks, giving them time to promote elsewhere in the run up to the album.

 

I actually think it’s perfect timing, keeping to November releases and getting hopefully large pre-orders and then doing extra promo off the back of the show.
