Posted May 6, 20223 yr Just thought I'd start a new "series" (i.e. something that lasts for 2 weeks but then gets forgotten about probably :') looool) but in the "Top 5" series I wanna get your opinions on little topics and things. As we near the final dates of them as a group (for now), lets celebrate and give our top 5 performances of the girls as a group. Any performance you want. On tour, TV performances, radio live lounges, X Factor... any of them. As long as it was a live performance, anything goes. Feel free to take part in past episodes! PAST EPISODES: EPISODE 01 • SIGNATURE HITS EPISODE 02 • VIDEOS EPISODE 03 • UNDERRATED TRACKS
May 6, 20223 yr Author Extremely tough but I'm gonna have to say: 01. BRITS TRILOGY > I'm bending the rules slightly mwahahahaaaa. I love all 3 the same! I can't order them! < 02. Don't Let Go (Love) > X Factor: Week 7 (?) - I love this performance so much, that I actually prefer their version of the song over the original...... < 03. Sweet Melody > Jonathan Ross 2020 < 04. Love Me Like You/Black Magic > UK X Factor: Guest Performance 2015. Really fucking annoying this isn't on YT! <_< < 05. I Wanna Dance With Somebody/Want To Want Me > Radio 1 Live Lounge 2015 < SO many more I wanna include, but I have to dwindle it down. You aren't forcing me to split the Brits performances... I REFUSE!!!!! Like, they have legit so many... I'm regretting my choices, but I know if I switch them out for others, I'll regret that too! FFS. Their 'These Four Walls' on Surprise Surprise, 'Wasabi' on LM5 tour, 'Lightning' on Get Weird tour, E.T. on X Factor, 'Falling' live lounge cover and SOTME premiere X Factor performance are very, very close too... ARGH.
May 6, 20223 yr 01. Secret Love Song - The Search 02. Touch - X Factor 03. Sweet Melody - Jonathan Ross Show 04. Falling (Harry Styles Cover) - BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 05. Woman Like Me - Brit Awards These are probably my top 5 but there are so many amazing ones to choose from.
May 6, 20223 yr Author OMG I forgot about 'Love On the Brain' :drama: I actually think that's top 5! (& SLS on The Search lmaoooo - BYE. Lemme delete the entire thread!)
May 6, 20223 yr Great idea for a thread! They've got so many AMAZING performances. 1. Shout Out To My Ex on X-Factor 2016. I love how they literally drove into their imperial phase with this performance. As soon as they got out of that car they were on top of the UK music scene for the next year. Everything just fell into place with this performance - Perrie's lyrics leaking before, the news that Zayn dumped her via text leaking, the Get Weird era before restoring their popularity and teasing the public for just how big and exciting they were about to get. It's not my favourite song and their vocals weren't perfect (Perrie always sounds awful on the middle 8 and Leigh's lip syncing was so obvious) but the atmosphere and context of the release was electric. They debuted at number 1 and stayed there for three weeks and got James Arthur, One Republic and GRL so pissed off about it. :lol: 2. Wings on One Love Manchester 2017. Again, context was everything here. This was one of the biggest TV broadcasts of the UK (almost 15M viewers at it's peak) and featured the biggest acts in the world. The fact that Little Mix joined a lineup consisting of Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas showed how massive and popular they were at the time. It was probably one of their best vocal performances and the harmonies and crowd interaction at the end with the audience singing the middle 8 back and waving their hands in unison showed that these girls could handle - and deserved - huge crowds like that all the time. 3. Sweet Melody on Jonathan Ross 2020. Most of it was lipped but the water splashing, the solar ring behind them, the fire streaks, the dark outfits and the choreography showed that even as a 3 piece the girls were f***ing incredible. This is what the Confetti tour performance should have been like. 4. Black Magic/Sax with Fleur East 2015. I was torn between this and their other performance on that series but seeing them perform on the final at Wembley was pretty exciting because they were slowly transitioning into huge stars with this campaign. They were finally breaking out and winning people over and there was no longer any worries they could be 'dropped' or 'split' after the underwhelming Salute era. 5. Touch (at home) in lockdown 2020. Seeing them harmonise with eachother and know eachother so well that they could perform like that through ZOOM was crazy. Any other artist in the industry could adjust to home performances and lockdown stuff easy but Little Mix were the only group in the industry and it was kinda fascinating that for the first time in years they were no longer 'together' all the time and that they, just like everyone else, had to see eachother through webcams and microphones. They smashed it.

May 6, 20223 yr OMG WHAT'S THE TEA HERE?!? James Arthur was the one that they knocked off number 1 and he was frantically Tweeting the download link during the midweeks even though he had already been number 1 for a few weeks before their release. Apparently he had Retweeted something rude about Shout Out To My Ex as well but it was quickly deleted (I remember reading this on Popjustice during release week) and I'm gonna try search to find it. OneRepublic performed on X-Factor the same night as the girls I think and Ryan Tedder made this comment on Twitter - #2 trending in UK.... okay with #2 if it means we don't have to have a scandal to hit #1 Then backtracked and said the Tweet was about something political. He also Retweeted a fan saying that OneRepublic's song would have been bigger if they performed in their boxer shorts. Again, he deleted it but the screengrab is still online and some forums. GRL Tweeted '#ShoutOutToUglyHeart' from the main group account and I believe that they also used Simone's account to do the hashtag as well. Jazzy also Tweeted something which was deleted. There's still a couple articles about it.
