Please don't vote Matt Hancock to do any trials. It is not 'punishing' him at all. He knows he's going to be voted for everything and that's why he's doing it - he wants the screentime. Even if he screams and cries and pretends he's terrified, this is EXACTLY why he's doing the show. If you want to truly punish him then vote for other people and pretend he doesn't exist. I cannot believe ITV are giving him this opportunity and I'm already dreading seeing Ant and Dec joking around with him. Although I guess they're probably Tory's anyway.

I felt like Jesy's mic volume was too low? I couldn't hear her over the track. I'm sure Jade will be the strongest vocally at the audition as she got to bootcamp in 2008 and 2010 so probably had more experience than the others.

I remember for their X-Factor Winners Story documentary Perrie said that Tulisa wasn't keen on her audition and Tulisa regretted not seeing her potential. Again, the GROWTH is amazing. She always had that unique tone but I never would have thought from that audition she'd be one of the strongest singers in the UK.

A bit late but just chiming in to say that the week they were 'rumored' to be on X-Factor performing was also the same week they were filmed meeting Little Mix for their VT. I don't think it's a coincedince that the producers bothered to send a camera crew to the rehearsals of The Saturdays for a 20 second clip if they weren't also performing that weekend.

What was with Louis asking her if she had any pets??? Eh?

Leigh's audition is out. .... ... She's lucky she was attractive and had a good personality because she was shocking. Edit - She was definitely the most improved member of the group. By the time she live shows rolled out she was already so much better. Just that first audition is bad.

I'd be keen to see the judges comments on each of them. I know Kelly did ask Jade about being in a girl group at her audition but I wonder if she mentioned it to the others.

Collab please. (Jade looks INCREDIBLE!)

You're no longer infectious after 10 days but you can still test positive for up to 28 days. I didn't stop testing positive until Day 12 or something. My initial infection was rough for a few weeks and I didn't feel 'normal' again until maybe a month later, but then as soon as I got back to normal and started a new job and moving flat I overdid it and ended up triggering Long Covid. You REALLY have to slow it down and peace yourself. Long Covid is mostly triggered by people doing too much too soon. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, stress, the gym, running, jogging, anything that is going to push your body. it's better safe than sorry. Take as long as you need to just rest and look after yourself.

So ONS revealed today that 2.3 million people in the UK now have Long Covid (up from 2 million in September) which is about 3.5% of the population. That number will continue to rise throughout the winter. Where are the measures in place to control the spread? Where are the trials and treatments for Long Covid? People are literally being disabled and nothing seems to be going on to prevent this. I was infected at the start of July and still can't live independently. I joined a Facebook group and found a Reddit sub where thousands of people are literally bed bound with chronic fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, headaches, light and noise sensitivity, body aches, weakness, numbness, loss of smell and taste, poor vision, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, heart palpitations, chest pains, unable to swallow, hair falling out.....the list goes on and on. It makes me sick that a government can allow people to get sick like this. I know there's a huge element of personal responsibility but where are the air filtration systems in schools and workplaces? Mask mandates? Remote working options? Awareness about Long Covid (not just the acute infection) and funding towards proper clinics to help people? I am terrified of catching it again. I am lucky enough to be a 'mild' case (touch wood) but I have a friend in England who has been bed bound since June and a friend in Greece who has spent 2 years unable to use his phone for more than a few minutes before feeling sick and having to sleep. He was so bad at one point he couldn't even walk or talk - and he was a healthy 22 year old who went to the gym every week and was studying sports medicine.

'crisis meeting' for artwork for a single cover? :lol:

This doesn't open. What was it?

Name an other artist who had a campaign like Little Mix did with the Confetti album. Sweet Melody, Confetti and Heartbreak Anthem were still on radio and playlists when they released the Anne-Marie collab and then released two further singles. There's only so much support that the girls can get. Not even Ed Sheeran could get away with releasing so much content in a year and expect everything to be a big hit. If there's too many songs released then some are going to overshadow the others.

Little Mix were at peak celebrity status/commercial relevance from The Search til Boyz. Two singles flopping after that says more about their overexposure than anything else.

Ed Sheeran being on a track called 'My G'. The second hand embarrassment I feel.

I'd rather her first release was a solo single tbh. I'm sure it will be a nice, faceless, generic Capital FM style bop that will go top 15 but I feel like her own release would be more of a moment. Meh.

Their albums charting lower and lower each time (4, 6, 13, 25, 40 and 182 give or take) is a real shame. :(

Kamille and Little Mix’s associates are pure class. They’re not going to ‘shade’ or purposely omit Jesy’s contributions to the group. I hope they all keep her in the trash where she belongs.

Perrie is probably the best vocalist in the British music scene. No hyperbole.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news...taking-27705632 Oh Jade. :(

Thing is, she isn't really doing anything to show people she's serious about her music career anyway. She never performs anywhere, she doesn't upload any acoustics/covers to her social media, she dissed Motivation once Wild Side was out and spends more time taking selfies and promoting make up than doing anything at all music related. I get the fact she's trapped by her label in terms of releasing music but she doesn't help herself.

Again, any WW/USA figures are usually HIGHLY exaggerated. The song is lucky to have sold 1 million in the US considering it peaked at 67 and Little Mix have no fanbase there.

Apparently she's been telling fans to STFU about her not releasing any music. :lol: Bye.

Perrie will never get the recognition she deserves because she's a pure pop artist and part of a girl group. It's the same with Kelly Clarkson - one of the best voices in the entire industry but it's always the Mariah/Whitney/Celine's that everyone refers to when talking about vocal talent.
