That was such a fun watch. She is insanely likeable!!

I miss the days when pop stars would be on every TV show possible promoting their single, doing CD signings at HMV, being EVERYWHERE. Now it's just adding it to Spotify, going to Capital for an interview and doing some Tik Toks. :/

It's wild how much public opinion of her and her career has changed since late 2017/early 2018 when Havana and her debut album became a global number 1 and it looked like the birth of a new megastar.

To be fair to the girls they were together for 11 years and spent all of their late teens and 20's together. I don't blame them for wanting to just do something else in life for a while and write their own music that they can sing by themselves and release their own album (lol) etc. There's plenty of time to go back to Little Mix. They could tour together in their 40's and 50's due to how big their back catalogue is. Let them get the solo career itch out of their system and enjoy doing something different for a while. They were probably the longest running group without a line-up change or any massive breaks (Take That) ever, right? Non stop recording, promoting and touring since they won X-Factor til like mid 2021.

I don't think any of them were ever going to have multiple albums and tours but I thought Perrie at least would have managed a proper hit single. She's really popular. I really do think the underperformance is more of a reflection of the song than anything else. I was excited for her debut but I've only played the song twice so she's already missed out on dozens of streams from a hardcore fan like me for example and I'd imagine there's other stans who think the song is just crap too.

I don’t understand why, in 2024, people still think people give a f*** that Ed Sheeran wrote their song for them. He’s been writing songs for other artists for over a decade now. I remember One Direction fans getting excited cos he wrote Little Things back in 2012 ffs. Ed Sheeran writing your song really isn’t that exciting or special, and what is this weird presumption that people ‘should’ care because he wrote it anyway? There’s tons of talented writers out there who can write hits. The grip he has on the music industry is weird. He’s given her such a boring song and probably killed her career before it even started.

I think the chart position is a reflection of the song quality. There was alot of interest in Perrie’s debut and the Spotify debut was impressive but it’s kinda obvious people are bored of the song and haven’t added it to their playlists or got it on repeat. She’s lucky she got a top ten at least but the next song really will be make or break for her.

Why so many singles before the album? Argh. I hate the music industry these days. And it really is a shame this is going to miss the top ten too. :( Really had high hopes for her. Not a great start. (Yes I know there's going to be other singles but let's face it, the debut single is always the biggest chance of a hit)

An album should have been out after Don't Say Love when she still had the hype of being the first Little Mix member to release. If you can do an EP with 5 songs why not just add 5 more and call it an album? Argh

Great start for Camila!

I f***ing LOVE the video - especially the blindfolded dance sequence at the middle 8. The song needs another chorus after the rap. #77 debut on Spotify UK

Any sign of Camila?

Jesy is trash. Two radio DJs making a joke about her is not bullying. This is the bridges she burned with her blackfishing nonsense and the stress she put Little Mix (specifically Leigh) through with her exit and the Nicki Minaj stuff. Consequences. Nobody in the industry takes her seriously. Edit - Fleur didn’t even say anything! It was the two white guys and yet again we have Jesy stans attacking the black woman. :lol:

His albums are incredible. He has such a knack for writing these awkward, social outcast, lonely bops.

How is it trolling to point out a pre recorded intro and off key vocals if that’s what they are?

That response is so....childish. Take constructive criticism Leigh.

(I need them to announce the tour dates soon so I can get Christmas sorted :lol:)

Camila was 19 and delivering amazing Havana performances on national TV after leaving Fifth Harmony. Cheryl was doing Fight For This Love on X-Factor a year as her first performance. Jesy was even delivering full choreography and confidence on Graham Norton and Jingle Bell Ball in the middle of a tanking campaign and public backlash better than these performances. Plus this is what rehearsals and soundchecks are for. She doesn't get dropped off at the venue and given 10 mins to practise.

Apparently she 'liked' Doja's Instagram post with the Sam Hyde pic...

‘Don’t Say Love’ (the song only) aside, everything she does is disappointing me.

It was a very underwhelming release after Black Magic and Shout Out To My Ex were their biggest hits and multi week number 1 singles, but nobody called it a flop.

Imagine seeing your highly anticipated solo career bursting into flames and leaving the UK entirely to do random promo in America instead of doing....anything here to save it. She doesn't deserve to have hits if this is her attitude to her career. :lol:

Sadly I also think this is just a reflection of the music industry nowadays in the streaming era. Gone are the days when a CD single or an iTunes download would be available on a Sunday morning and the artist would be doing TV every day, signings, interviews and begging fans to buy it. Nowadays it’s just dropping a single on Spotify, popping in to Capital FM for 10 minutes and that’s it.

Ugh. Solo careers are always so underwhelming...
