If she apologises then yeah, I could see them eventually letting her back. However it's been about 8 months since most of Britain tried to educate her about blackfishing and get her to change her ways and she's still treating black people as a fetish on Instagram, looking darker than ever and doing Jamaican accents. I personally never want to see her back. Keep her out. The other girls are fantastic without her. EDIT - I feel like comparing her to Geri's departure downplays the severity of Jesy's actions. This wasn't some pathetic chart battle or dissing someone else's single or making a catty comment in an interview - this was Leigh-Anne (a new mother to twins) being bullied and targeted by Nicki Minaj and her demonic barbs on social media while Jesy laughed and encouraged it. Her social media was flooded with insults and threats and Nicki was relentlessly targeting her. I feel like that's something you just don't ever forget. There's nothing 'showbiz' or 'pop star' about that. That was a human being being harassed by thousands of people. It was extremely upsetting.

Surely a Netflix release?

I remember Kelly Tweeted about their Touch (at home) performance. I'd have loved to see them appear on her show. It would have been so funny. Looking forward to this!

How can a song sell that much in 3 months and not chart? 120K in sales in 3 months would at least mean a couple weeks in the top 200? Edit - Oops the last update was 2021 not 2022. My bad. :lol:

Why would they acknowledge the existence of that vile woman? :lol:

Well honestly I remember their Greatest Hits medley on Tumble and that was a PERFECT opportunity to really let loose and sell some tickets for their tour and even though they had a HUGE empty space they just stood still for half of it and done some basic arm movements as usual. They had 5 big songs to showcase and they didn't even bother. Their Paul O'Grady performance of Forever Is Over was traumatic, they performed Missing You on some big TV shows and it was dodgy miming and crap dancing and their Ant and Dec performance is only known for Mollie's bum note so they definitely had chances on bigger stages and never made a good impression. Even in America when they launched on Jay Leno with a live band and vocals both Una and Vanessa were shocking at points and Rochelle completely changed the melody of the chorus.

As much as I blame their label/management for their shocking decisions at times, I have to admit that looking back these girls just weren't good enough. It wasn't until I saw other girl groups after them that I realised how lazy and sloppy The Sats were. Little Mix and Fifth Harmony blew them out of the water vocally and work ethic wise and even GRL were giving amazing performances on their first single release. They definitely had bops and they looked SO GOOD together and yeah they had nice harmonies and some of them were decent singers but they had so many performances and chances to impress people and gain new fans on TV and they always sucked. :lol: Their performances of What About Us and All Fired Up were always atrocious.

Hair, Sweet Melody and Heartbreak Anthem will probably be million sellers soon and I guess Cannonball and MAYBE Kiss My Uh Oh/Confetti can crawl to Platinum at some point. Little Mix do amazing with trickle streams. I'd like No to overtake One I've Been Missing. Doesn't deserve to be the lowest selling single. :( Confetti and Between Us should also crawl to Platinum and then they'll have a perfect record of all their albums getting there.

I hate when interviewers ask the girls questions individually. It’s kind of rude as they asked Leigh two questions before Jade got one and Leigh looked like she was thinking of an answer for something when he instead directed it to Perrie. They’re not Fifth Harmony who talk over and interuppted eachother constantly. They’ve been in the media game for 10 years - just ask them a question and see who wants to answer it. Jeez.

The ‘fake’ thing with Shawn and Camila is such a bizarre take. Two people are going to pretend to be in a relationship for over TWO YEARS…..for what? :lol: They were constantly being ripped apart and hated on social media and both of them flopped as soon as they got together. What purpose would a fake relationship for so long have been?

Yeah we really should have had a ‘10 Years At The Top’/‘Giving You Everything’ style documentary or a ‘Night in with Little Mix’ type show during this campaign.

It will be a Zoom interview and we will deal.

How has it almost been 8 years since they were active? Come on Rochelle! Do it for the gays. :(

I wonder if Jesy’s problem is that she’s surrounded by enablers who make excuses for her and refuse to acknowledge the issue and instead try shut down any criticism and change the subject? There’s nothing music related to discuss with this woman. She will never release an album. It’s been six months and she hasn’t even released a second single. Her music career is over. Blackfishing is all she has.

Nah, sorry but I agree with Yobnedor. It's a really nice moment but (ugh, I'm gonna get slated for this) it's annoying when people try and thrust their proposals into concerts. It just seems that it's done to get the artists attention and to get a shout out and always ends up interrupting part of the show which this video proves. I'd be annoyed if Secret Love Song was my favourite song and I'd travelled to hear it performed live and half of it wasn't sang. You pay a ticket for a reason.

Low key think she's changed her mind on the break. She was calling it the last ever tour on the opening night and now she's constantly crying and saying that. :lol:

Love this. Respect to her! https://www.popsugar.co.uk/celebrity/camila...nd-48816612/amp

I'll be honest I did criticise their choreo lately but I've not been a fan of much of their new routines. Ever since the LM5 tour the routines to the uptempos have looked very 'The Saturdays' - particularly the way they changed the original Power and Salute choreo to just standing still and waving their arms around. It killed the energy of the songs for me. What I will say though is, let's be brutally fair here, you can still respect the girls reasons and still be disappointed. Nobody is blaming the girls here. They've delivered high energy performances since 2011 and they still nail choreo on Sweet Melody and other tracks.....but watching them stand still for the first three uptempos is still a shame. Maybe it was a setlist issue and they should have changed the order around but it's quite jarring and something like Confetti or the DJ collab could have swapped with Heartbreak Anthem which could have been more of a 'end of show party' type thing instead.

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 - 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.

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.

I mean, they're definitely close friends and will support eachother but the bottom line is they've done nothing but Little Mix for 11 years and have already accomplished everything they wanted as a group. If Jade becomes a successful solo artist or Leigh gets bigger acting roles or Perrie's clothing range takes off or whatever then they're not going to drop that to go back to Little Mix again. They'll definitely get back together at SOME POINT but come on. If one of them gets a smash single and successful campaign they're going straight back to the studio for album number 2 just like Harry Styles will never do a 1D reunion until he's missing the top 40 with his singles and Camila will never crawl back to Fifth Harmony until she can no longer scrape hit singles by latching on to Ed Sheeran.

Is there a sales update? I wonder if this will reach 300K before Confetti…
