This really stings. The fact that they pretty much reunited to support him and give him a chance to go on tour again and do what he loved doing.....and then he has to miss the gigs because he went abroad for treatment and then he returns and dies anyway. Just f***ing cruel. That's a wife without a husband and two young children without a father. He seemed like a great laugh and his bravery was an inspiration to many. I actually really liked him in The Wanted and his middle 8 in Gold Forever about butterflies meant to fly is really poignant now. RIP Tom.

Camila is a great performer. Actually a really nice cover of Fix You.

So happy Camila is still rising.

I'm worried because I remember them saying around the Confetti release that they couldn't wait to do Gloves Up live and that it would be a great opener, and of course they wanted Not A Pop Song to be the lead single as well. I'm also low key worried they'll do Breathe (over Slappiness) because Leigh apparently adores it and it's got a wedding sort of feel to it.

I'm still hoping for one final 'Night in with Little Mix' type thing on ITV with performances, interviews and appearances from Tulisa/Kelly/Simon etc. :lol:

Sweet Melody - October 2020 No Time For Tears - November 2020 Confetti - April 2021 Heartbreak Anthem - May 2021 Kiss My (Uh Oh) - July 2021 Love Sweet Love - September 2021 No - November 2021 That’s seven singles in a year plus they had Break Up Song and Holiday before this, a Brit Award win, all the press attention over Jesy leaving and the Boyz release drama, the press attention over the pregnancies and births. I didn’t say the album was a flop. It’s done really well. I mean that the actual release felt very underwhelming as they didn’t get a final hit single to use as a ‘goodbye’ or celebration and instead their last singles just scraped the top 40. They had completely overexposed themselves by that point with endless singles.

How can Ed honestly think it's a good idea to drop new music at this time? It's just common sense and business logic to avoid oversaturating the market. He just had a number 1 album, four number 1 singles, a recent collab with Taylor, is currently on a feature in the top 20 and he decides to drop more music and has plans to release two more albums? Is it arrogance? Stupidity? Opportunistic? I know he's desperate to get the most number 1 singles ever but surely he must know this isn't the way to do it? It was the same with Little Mix last year. They dropped about ten singles in the space of a year and things ended up fizzling out and their Greatest Hits was an underwhelming release because of how much stuff they'd thrown out.

To be fair it's an emoji of her lips sealed so doesn't really confirm it either way? It probably isn't going to make the cut though. I - unfortunately - think the only album tracks from Confetti will be Not A Pop Song and Gloves Up. :(

Show versatility with an album or tour. When your solo career began four years ago and you've only released three singles in that time you need to grab the GP and get some bops under your belt. Securing a couple hits and establishing your name so you can drop an album is the priority here and she ain't going to do that with stuff like this. She's an AMAZING dancer and her basketball scene from Motivation and the dancing from Wild Side went viral on social media and is what people want from her. There's a million female artists out there who are singing these cute little midtempos and ballads but nobody can do choreo like Normani. It's bizarre her team aren't giving her something uptempo to work with.

Is it normal to use actual props like that in dance studio rehearsals? Surely if they were just entering the stage in them they wouldn't need to drag them to rehearsals?

Tom is releasing a book in July.

They could probably have done a couple dates in Australia/New Zealand or something, no? Or is that mostly a Covid issue more than anything?

I wonder if he'll have any more gross references like 'mami' and telling women to cross the border to sleep with him again on this new record.

I actually got towards the end and genuinely thought they were going to put 'No' in the top three or something. :lol:

They did for most years up until the 2019 season when Adele was eliminated because app votes weren't counted due to a technical error (where like 90% of the votes come from) and they only released the finale statistics. It was very suspicious.

Interesting! They do have a very strong catalogue and only really a few obvious duds - I'd say Woman Like Me and Holiday are too high on that list though.

I could see it being Sweet Melody with a long introduction of the ‘doo doo’ parts. It was their biggest song in years, one of the most recent, perfect uptempo number and it’s the only song since the LM5 tour that would fit as an opener. Can’t see them using an ‘old’ hit to open their first tour in years.

Oh my bad! I take that back. :)

It means problems that are - in comparison to poverty, war and truly awful things - just minor and something you complain about over a glass of champagne with your friends. Completely tone deaf in the current climate and another contradiction in Ed 'I'm from the ghetto in London and hate L.A and being rich and famous boo hoo' Sheeran's discography.

f*** off.

I like all three girls but I can't see major success for any of them. They're talented, likeable and will probably get a hit single each at least but not even One Direction's solo careers have been that big and they had a massive fanbase of rapid, obsessed teenage girls buying everything they do. I feel like they'll soon be reminded that being in Little Mix will bring them more success and money than anything they do individually and once the novelty of a solo campaign wears off they'll be back in about six years. (Obviously I'd love them to be massive and I'm dying to hear an album from Jade and Perrie in particular but there's just always something a bit 'off' when group members go solo. I think it's because there's thousands of solo artists out there and very few groups and nothing can really replace group choreography, harmonies and the visuals/dynamic of a band. I'd hate for these girls to just be yet another generic pop female being spammed on Spotify playlists and desperately fighting to get Ed Sheeran on their singles for a hit, you know?)

Lol. Normani is one of the best dancers in the industry and she's releasing stuff like this. Give the girl an uptempo and a crowd to perform in front of already.

We'll see if any of the artists involved actually volunteer or make donations of their own to the cause or if they'll do nothing but Tweet the download link to the song.

A bunch of C-list artists fighting amongst themselves to get the most lines on a cover of some song from the 80's, record labels rubbing their hands at the exposure their artists get from the PR and not a genuine emotion from anyone involved. All money and business. Most 'profits' from these charity singles have to cover the artists fees, recording the song, putting it on playlists and shooting the video too before it even goes to a charity. Throw in the fact that a bunch of rich celebrities are guilt tripping the GP to put their hands in their pockets to download a song when they would probably 10x that amount if they just donated directly themselves. We're in a cost of living crisis for f*** sake. People are going to be starving or freezing to death from April and yet we're going to have the likes of Ed Sheeran probably telling us to help out and support the song while putting on his 'sad face' in the video before collecting his pay cheque. f*** off. If you care about Ukraine then volunteer or donate directly and stop supporting these narcissist charity songs.

I f***ing hope not. Charity singles are disgusting and need to be binned.
