I can definitely hear Ariana vibes in this but it’s quite a good track on first listen.

 

It’s a different take on a Christmas track and it’s less Huge in your face pop anthem than the likes of Leona and Kelly’s but I like it. It’s wintery in sound and I can see it doing well over the next month.

Hmm a bit undecided on this one. Wish there was something special about it, it's quite basic, safe Xmas formula. But maybe it will work? We'll see.

This is such an earworm. It's gorgeous. :wub: It's got such a classic, chilled, wintery, xmassy vibe to it and I hope it works for them. The real test will be next year and seeing if and how high it can reappear each time.

 

I'd have loved to have heard an all out Xmas banger from them, but I kinda get/understand why they went this route instead, as there was the risk of the banger getting lost amongst the Mariah/Ariana/Kelly/Leona's. I'm excited to see if it pays off for them and if it doesn't, it doesn't matter so much. Hopefully some promo is lined up and I'm hoping that with the BBC talent show tie-in, we can get a Strictly Final performance or something.

Guys with respect this is a discussion thread, not a stan thread,right? I mean, criticism of a track or the girls' direction/choices is totally valid to be in this space in my book because ultimately it's just an opinion and its not(as I read it) personal.

 

Fwiw I'm underwhelmed by the song, I didn't have high hopes and it really hasn't exceeded what I had if I'm honest. To me it does sound a bit Spice Girls (esque) - retro, but not in a good way,tbh this is almost a bit Stock Aitken Waterman to my ears. Really I have to say quite disappointing from a group who this time last year or 18 months ago seemed to be riding so high and really solidifying themselves as UK at least firm A-List. Since then they've crashed their (fabulous) album with a flop single and weird video, failed to take advantage of an organic viral hit, released a questionable standalone single which was flash in the pan, and now after promising something before Xmas have dropped a mediocre Xmas song. It just doesn't seem like a confident trajectory and I'm worried for them as a result bc I know these girls have it in them easily to deliver much better.

Yea this sounds very retro, like Spice Girls or S Club, which is fine for a standalone Xmas single imo, bringing some softness on the table. Not sure if this is super good though.

And we've had no problems with the other negative comments? Lmao. Quit with the whole "this isn't a stan thread" bullshit, like we're not aware it's a discussion thread and forum...

 

Maybe if Michael spiced things up and quit repeating the same shit about this song as he did with their other songs (and seemingly album - so he must like them enough to even want to listen to their album in the first place, right - if not I dont underatand why he bothers?! Ive never heard an album by an artist I actively dislike on my own accord and just left it alone... he does it coz it riles up people and he gets a reaction. Yes we should ignore him, but he'll just keep on and on until he gets a reaction and that's the problem.

 

We get where he stands on Little Mix but he just needs to leave this forum alone. I don't go trapesing in threads of artists I dislike and harp on about how shit their stuff is when I havent even heard it and "PREACH!!!!"ing every slifhtly negative comment that happens before he's heard it himself.

 

It's not even just Little Mix. It's pretty much 95% of every post of his. It's tiring and we're bored of it/not letting him get his way here.

On first listen, this is a bit disappointing. I had quite high hopes for a Little Mix Christmas single too. Never mind.

...Well I like it.

Well, that's fair tbf I would've taken the same tack in Nicki. I guess I was just asking the question for clarification's sake rather than intending to challenge yous.

r.

 

PREACH!!!

 

This is what I'm talking about, but I am exercising my hard won (and everyone's) rights to be here. This isn't an echo chamber. I came in and gave my opinions on a reaaally bad Xmas song. If it'd be fine, I woulda said so. The only ones being personal are the salty mixers to me!!!

 

And to Jonjo: whatever. I can post my opinions wherever I want, just as anyone else can. This has been established x . I never said any of their other songs sounded like an Ariana rip off before? Is that not spicy enough for you? :lol: Their whole new sound is bad rnb, so the common thread will be: Forever by Spice Girls. Btw if you didn't want me posting in here, you wouldn't be riling me up with all these posts you KNOW I'm going to reply to! Basically you want the forum to score highly on the postings chart. I said a couple things and that was it. The rest has been replying to you and your army of salty mixers!!! I listened to the song. I have heard some of the album tracks like the ateocious Watsappi and I heard enough to make an opinion on it. Make up your minds! Do you want me to listen to it and give an opinion or not?! Man alive salty mixers! Oh and I think it's me not letting YOU get your own way with an echo chamber here x It was a whole thing. I think you remember it. You're welcome to come and criticise some of my faves liike Lady GaGa and Katy Perry in their forums. I do.

Out of the Spotify charts from #63.

Think it'll go up by Christmas, still a little early.

It's not on any of the key playlists yet and a lot of people don't start Christmas songs until 1st Dec. No cause for concern... yet :D

Unfortunately this is pretty terrible :( I really want to root for them but between this and 'Bounce Back', they're making it increasingly more difficult to do so. Despite that, I still want them to do well because I love them so much and I know they're capable of such good material usually!

Not too bad! Leona's One More Sleep charted at #34 in the first week and I think that was released a week or two later than this.

It should get a top 50 debut this week.

Straight to A List on Radio 2!

I think this will do OK for them in the long run.

 

It should start building with radio play and any promo they have lined up
