What has Ginola actually done to deserve a win? He's utterly miserable, boring, doesn't really get involved in much conversation, doesn't seem to have a sense of humour, has been rude to Naughty Boy and Louise and yet everyone fawns over him and worships him and he's somehow favourite to win?

Danny and David have been hogging the airtime with all this drama and tears over David's letter from home. :rolleyes:

Frankie really isn't doing The Saturdays any favours with her singing attempts. :lol: I'm so sick of the David and Danny 'bromance'. Ugh. I'd like the order to be - 1. Frankie 2. Matty 3. Simon 4. Adam 5. Danny 6. David I suspect it will be - 1. Danny 2. Simon 3. David 4. Frankie 5. Matty 6. Adam

It is really weird how Snoochie became invisible after being one of the most featured personalities in the first few days. She really got less votes than Louise? (PLEASE GET ADAM/DANNY/DAVID OT!)

iTunes is completely dead and there's no way she's sold 200K in under two months just from being in the top 100 for a day or two. The US figure is completely made up. As for the 212K 'worldwide' I'd imagine 200K of that is from the UK...

I think Leigh has lipped every performance of Sweet Melody so far (she's sounded EXACTLY the same in each of them, very audible and 'smooth' yet she's doing choreo during her section which makes it more obvious) but I thought Jade was singing live at least on them as her ad-libs looked very convincing...

Surprised someone disagreed with me. I think he's beautiful. Anyways I'm Team Naughty Boy after David's outburst last night. I've noticed that everyone takes their bad moods out on him and makes comments to him/takes offence to things he says whereas if it was someone like Danny who volunteered David for the trial he wouldn't have said anything. :rolleyes: There's definitely an element of social hierachy amongst them and NB is seen as the one they're 'allowed' to snap at and make fun of. I noticed Adam was very passive aggressive with him when he said that he missed Arlene and his response was very blunt 'Well we all miss her, we're all gonna miss eachother'. NB was the closest one to Arlene and I felt like Adam's reaction was quite rude, and again in the joint trial they did Adam kept rabbiting on and repeating to David that 'NB can't do it, there's no point, just leave it' which I thought was quite insensitive. Surprised Kadeena left considering she was part of the trial and normally the screen time helps you avoid elimination. I guess Louise will be gone tonight and then after that I can't really call it. I'd LOVE Danny, David and Adam to f*** off next but I suspect it'll be Snoochie, Matty and NB.

Oh yeah, I fully understand that (particularly for Perrie) songs like Power would have to have lip syncing due to the choreography and the growling and belting but I guess I was just curious to see other parts of songs that have never really been done fully live. It's easier to spot lip syncing on a TV performance but on tour it's more difficult. The Brits performance of Woman Like Me was fully mimed right? I was convinced Perrie was the only one singing live (Jesy and Leigh are horrible at miming and Jade was very unconvincing a few times) but if not then she must be amazing at lip syncing. :lol:

Just curious as I've never actually saw them live but I ended up randomly watching this video and was a little disappointed if it's accurate - YhXg9LTnf1o Has Perrie ever done her big note in Power live? And to sum that video up it basically suggests Jade mimed the most on the LM5 tour even the 'easy' stuff like Wasabi.

I can't see Jesy joining again unless she apologises and understands what she done. There's a difference between petty boyband/girlband drama like other groups have went through and blackfishing/watching a global star bully your ex bandmate (who's just given birth) over social media and encourage her millions of fans to do the same.

Watching that documentary pretty much confirms it for me that Perrie's definitely the one pushing for the break more than the other two.

I kept Wasabi, Forget You Not and Monster In Me. Think About Us is a bop as well. For me Little Mix are at their best when they find that line between pop/fun and grown up/dark. When they dive too much either way it just puts me off. Songs like Sweet Melody, Move, Touch, Power, Happiness, Wasabi and Power are top tier Little Mix because they have those hooks and choruses that we love and they're not cheesy or 'bubblegum' songs you're ashamed to have on your playlist. Whenever they try get too serious and tackle subject matters that are important to them (which I obviously respect) it just makes their music a bit of a slog because they've not found a way to incorporate lyrical content like that into an actual catchy pop song outside of Wasabi. Stuff like Womans World and Strip should be MOMENTS because of what they're singing about but they're so tuneless and boring that you just don't care enough to listen again. It's the same at the other end of the scale - they've got these really annoying 'cute' songs that make them sound as if they're teenagers. Nothing But My Feelings was straight in the bin because of the way they sang those verses and Not A Pop Song was again like kids trying to sound rebellious. They were on their sixth album at that point and those sort of songs should have been left in the Get Weird era.

I started stanning them around Get Weird and I heard so many people say that album and Glory Days were awful so I didn't bother. I did listen to Beep Beep, F.U and Down and Dirty and I know of Oops from the X Factor performance and was like 'no way am I listening to that album'. :lol: They were seriously horrible songs. As for Get Weird I know of Lightning which is a bop but again, I think I played a couple other tracks out of curiosity and they were shit so didn't bother with the rest. As for DNA I know of Always Be Together which is actually a cute song and Madhouse which I enjoyed but the others just sounded so childish and Disney like that I couldn't get through the rest, and the only album track from Salute I know is Good Enough and that's the tour version. LM5 and Confetti I listened to upon release and within a few weeks I'd already chopped half the album tracks off my playlists.

Honestly the songs they've mentioned for the setlist (No Time For Tears, Cut You Off, Between Us and I guess No/Sweet Love) don't sound too exciting. :lol:

I've only heard LM5 and Confetti but I definitely agree that their album tracks are pretty weak for an act as talented as them. There's no reason why they couldn't produce an all killer no filler album full of bops like 7/27 (yes, I went there) instead of having 4 or 5 amazing songs and the rest being filler garbage.

The verses seem a little too low for them to sing live or the mics weren't turned up enough, I was a bit underwhelmed. (it's no Secret Love Song/Monster In Me) As for Jade I just adore her. She's always lived and breathed Little Mix. She's constantly in 'Jade from Little Mix' mode and on social media posting memes, having inside jokes with fans, talking about Wasabi (it's basically her solo music video), her and Leigh do the most songwriting and she was travelling to every radio station in the UK this year solo while Leigh and Perrie were on Zoom calls when she could easily have done the same. I have no doubts she'll bring out an amazing album and Leigh/Perrie will slay whatever route they choose but I do genuinely feel like Jade would probably keep going if the others did. She's just born to be a girl group member and that's no shade to her potential ability as a solo artist - she just GETS girl groups. She stans The Saturdays megamix, she mentioned all the groups at Brit Awards....she's one of us!!

They had that acoustic Confetti performance in May time and I think before that must have been the Sweet Melody promo. :( Jeez.

Their first performance in about seven or eight months, right?

Yeah I imagine when they return they'll be seen as more of a 'legacy act' and won't really have any hit singles but I'd love to be surprised. (it's such a shame that their potentially last ever top ten was Kiss My :puke2: )

Sad but expected. I hope they get a Brits performance/medley to end their first run together. (Edit - I can't at them managing to find so much footage of them as a 3 piece from 2012, they must have been on YouTube looking for as much content as possible to use)

Literally every pop group in history (besides The Saturdays for some bizarre reason) have got back together and half of them have had major fall-outs, less of a discography and less success than Little Mix. These girls have been huge for ten years and adore eachother. There's no way they won't at least get back together for a tour at some point. If Busted, Pussycat Dolls, Girls Aloud, Spice Girls, Sugababes, Westlife, JLS, The Wanted, Steps, S Club 7, All Saints, Take That and others can do it then so can they.

This is the worst part for me. They're (Little Mix) very obviously going to come back in a few years but this is the first time since 1996 where there hasn't been an active girl group in the UK.

That's so messed up. (I 'hope' it was more to do with the scarf and it wasn't because they knew who Jesy was or disliked her and wanted an excuse for an argument)

God, Matty is so hot....

I really hope they do something to 'go out' with a bang and not a fizzle out. A documentary? Farewell gig? TV show? A goodbye single (that gets a big push)? A split announcement for the headlines and last minute sales?
