It definitely peaked with the marbles episode. To be honest I've been following alot of Reddit episode discussions and alot of people did predict that the old guy would be involved in everything so I did see the twist coming but the execution was very limp and underwhelming. It felt like the end of a Saw movie honestly. I also was a bit confused with his role in everything - did he come up with the whole game and create everything himself? Just because life is boring as a rich old person? Also it was very convenient for the plot that he wasn't in the losing team for Tug of War or he'd have died. The side characters definitely made the show though. The girl who sacrificed herself for the other girl had me in tears. Overall it was a really enjoyable show that definitely peaked in the middle (the first episode until Red Light, Green Light and the 2nd episode were a snooze) but I'm sort of numb to these 'games til the death' type shows and was really hoping there'd be a better twist. (and the police officer was HOT AS f***) Same here!! 'Clues that you missed that showed 001 was behind it' or something. So f***ing annoying. i'm sick of spoilers being plastered all over social media within a few weeks of a show being posted. Give people time to watch it!

It's just all very superficial, dated and stereotypical. What is a bad boy? Based on the video it seems like she's implying in order to be a bad boy you just have to be black and from 'the hood'. It's funny because her exes were literally the guy from Rixton and Chris Hughes so she can't really say she's always been into bad boys. Never mind the fact that celebrating 'bad boys' (in a sense of them being criminals/aggressive/horrible people) in 2021 is just so cringey. Oh and the fact that this was her debut single and had a year to come up with an amazing song to launch herself and all she wanted to say to express herself was 'I fancy bad boys teehee x'.

Lol. It's bizarre to me that people are actually supporting Jesy and think anyone who criticises her or points out that she's flopping is a 'hater!!'. You sound exactly like her. :lol: This isn't a Jesy Nelson Appreciation Thread. It's a thread to discuss the song and the chart performance of it is going to be one of the key discussions here. If I want to come here and point out that she's flopping then I will. It doesn't make me a hater. I don't even hate Jesy. I think she's been really stupid lately and i hope this backfires completely on her and she acknowledges and apologizes about what she's done - does that mean I hate her? The song isn't doing well. It's out of the Spotify top 50 already, it's YouTube views have slowed down dramatically, it's falling on all metrics and this is supposed to be the big launch single leading to more singles and an album. How is it much of an achievement that it went top 5 it's debut week when everyone in the UK clearly checked it out of interest/curiosity and then abandoned it the next weeks when they realised how f***ing awful it is? If you want to celebrate that meaningless arbitary number 5 chart position then do it, but don't act like anyone coming here and telling you that it will be remembered as a huge flop and an embarrassment of a release in future is only doing so because you think they're some 12 year old who genuinely cares enough to have hatred towards a stranger. Can I ask you what exactly her appeal is that makes you root for her so much? I don't get it. She threw Leigh-Anne under a bus and laughed as she was insulted by Nicki on an Instagram Live with 100K people watching, ignored all requests by Leigh to stop blackfishing, failed to support Leigh's documentary about racism, completely copied and pasted Diddy's song AND video offering nothing unique or creative and then she blocks anyone who calls her out and insists they're only doing so because they're jealous. What exactly is it that you're supporting her for? Fair enough if you like the song and think it's a bop but to actually be so adamant that she's completely in the right and think she deserves success after her behaviour is so strange to me. People who show toxic and awful behaviour do not deserve to be celebrated. Your loyalty should be towards Leigh and the other girls here.

When is she on Norton? Feels like this song is dead already and it's only been out for 3 weeks.

Listening to this now and wondering how it would have sounded if all four girls 'do do doo' parts were in the song, taking turns each? instead of 3 from Jesy and 1 from Leigh.

Sweet Melody is one of those rare cases where an artist delivers their best ever package years into their career. I can't remember the last time we got such a peak in quality ten years into someone's career?

Why's it called 22? I hate numeric album titles that don't seem to mean anything?

Have to be honest Jesy was absolutely hilarious in their interviews sometimes. I really miss this dynamic and line-up sometimes. The other three are amazing performers but I do feel like Jesy injected some great banter and life into their interviews/games/online content. The face she pulls at 2:07 to Perrie still cracks me up five years later... xiCH4ZyrBEc And this interview she was on fire - qkYoZkGP18Y

Why does it matter who else is releasing? It's not 2010 where 'chart battles' on iTunes are a thing. They're not looking for a number 1 debut with this. :lol:

Craig's voice sounds amazing on anything.

They've been a trio for a year now and will be working as a trio until the tour next year. How is that not wanting to work together?

I'm a bit mortified that a journalist/interviewer even asked her that.

Down to 50 on Spotify. Oh Jesy.

I've no idea why it took so long but this FINALLY clicked with me. I'm now addicted to it.

(Same here, I love Frankie but I feel like I've saw much more of her on TV since The Saturdays split than Una and Una can be accidentally hilarious sometimes)

Their album sales have declined because the album market is dead.

Apparently Imogen Thomas 'hinted' on an Instagram story that she could be doing it. :lol: And Frankie and Una are rumoured for like the 5th year in a row...

So is Una doing I'm A Celeb?

Jade, Leigh and Perrie would DEFINITELY re-unite if they took a break. Those three are insanely close and have been for ten years. I imagine at some point, as much as they do love the group and their career, they probably do just wanna do their own thing. They were like 18 when they auditioned for X-Factor and have worked non stop ever since. Let them travel, be with their families, take up new gigs and opportunities and relax for a while and I'm sure when the time is right they'll be back with a big tour and comeback single in a few years. (and they'll probably still be back together before The Saturdays are)

Sean Paul unfollowed too and Anne-Marie.

They really are going to be the last Western big girl group for a long time aren’t they? :( They’ve been pretty much the only group since Fifth Harmony split aside from a short lived Pussycat Dolls reunion.

Heartbreak Anthem coming for an effortless Platinum certification this month. Love to see it.

I've just rewatched the video again and honestly I do like the choreography in the second chorus and wish there was more of that....but I never noticed how often she scrunches her face up and sticks her tongue out throughout the whole thing. It's really distracting. Also are those gun signs she's doing with her fingers on that 2nd chorus? And is Nicki doing a gay 'limp wrist' thing on her verse? :lol:

I'm guessing this didn't chart anywhere else outside UK and Ireland?

What promo? It's 2021. You get your single on Hot Hits, send it to Capital and do a 59p reduction. You don't do the TV circuit these days and radio interviews do nothing. The song wouldn't have been any bigger with a Capital FM interview and an interview for OK Magazine.
