14 hours ago14 hr I think Little Mix (fka Rhythmix) were initially written off on The X Factor as girl groups had such a poor reputation on the show (I remember someone unearthing an article from 2011 which predicted them to leave first during the live shows!!) but they really grew into a standout act in time, with performances of 'E.T.' and 'Don't Let Go (Love)' particularly turning them into serious contenders. The winner's single was a damp squib but I agree 'Wings' was much more like it, energetic and good fun. I actually preferred follow-up 'DNA', as the electro-pop sound is right up my street, but it was still a good start. Their styling on the show and in the 'Wings' video is such an early 2010s time capsule! They were obsessed with putting Jade in bows for some reason.I have also seen The Script live as my dad is a fan I quite like the piano in 'Hall of Fame' but otherwise the lyrics are a bit too try hard inspirational for me. Poor brave Tom Jones the only judge from that 2012 Voice line-up not to score a chart topper this year! I remember the initial hype for that show, it even beat BGT (while that was still fairly relevant) when the two shows overlapped, but it didn't take long for the decline to set in. I wonder how much longer it will last.I liked 'You Bring Me Joy' at the time (I had been rooting for Amelia on The X Factor even though I was still happy for Little Mix to take the crown) but haven't sought it out in years. Agreed 'Say Nothing' was a pretty beige Example single!
1 hour ago1 hr I quite liked The Man Who Cant Be Moved at the time but I’ve always just found the Script sort of just there. Hall Of Fame does nothing for me and neither did the Ne Yo track that held it off first week. Much preferred the Pink track that arrived in third that week.
1 hour ago1 hr Never been that much of a fan of The Script, pedestrian ballads by and large for me in the early days, but they do chuck out the odd goodie, and Hall Of Fame was the one for me, it had more going for it than the usual singles, will.i.am prob helped with that side of it. I also like their recent single which has similar vibes - Man In The Arena - and they've had a few decent singles over the last 15 years too, I've bought 3 others too since this came out!
