If Jesy isn't media trained after ten years it's not going to happen now

I think she would have been best served waiting til next year. It seems the general public are a bit little mixed out.

Ah well tis done now. It's all been a bit of a mess. Hopefully the public enjoy the break and get on board with LM8 whenever it is

Yeah I feel like they should have released Between Us first. Ballads always do better at this time of year and it would be a nice change of pace as they never do them.

I know people say in the streaming era that TV performances etc don't matt but rhey really do. The girls are so good at performing and the fact we haven't had one this year has really started to show. Every interview they've released is the same stuff over and over. I really hoped their first big project as a three would be...a big project but instead its given them their two least successful singles and probably their least successful album.

I really wish they had done another bundle that included a disc of all their acoustic versions

I think the formats were the bulk but probably not enough to sustain it. I wish they had done like 'a night with little mix'

Not really. That would be increasing their 10 years of sales by 50% which is incredibly unlikely.

Little Mix will be probably over 65 million by now which takes over the and destiny's child but they will never touch 90

Them wanting a break is irrelevant. Until they go on one they're working . Do you think they'll bounce back from the fact that if NO Doesn't end up doing better their two non collabs since Jesy left would be huge flops. Added on to the drama around her release and the illusion of unity they've portrayed for a decade being absolutely shatter...I think people have just had their fill. They're doing zero damage control and zero to keep public interest. If they wanted a break that bad they should have just done it and not bothered. It's very Sugababes.

Yeah like maternity leave or not, frustrating to see Perrie posting mostly about her holiday and Disora this week. Feel theyve become quite complacent.

^ it just makes sense business wise. Jesy ultimately broke her contract by leaving (notice whenever someone leaves bands like this they're usually off work sick for a bit) which is when papers are being drawn to have someone officially leave. Otherwise ir would be too easy for someone to be having a bad day, day they quit and rhen come back once they've had a couple of days off. In buying Jesy out it means that she no longer gets to profit from the band which is a smart move on behalf of thr girls if they are planning on releasing more albums. And also a smart move ahead of releasing a GH album for which she appears on 75% of the tracks. It was probably the quickest and easiest way for everyone to completely cut ties and I expect there is some stipulations in there too regarding how much footage of her can be used etc

Just got the album and I think actually 'No' is the weakest. Cut you off and trash are far more instant

It will land top 5. I am more interested in its longevity. Confetti sales were so front loaded that I don't think it's ever reaching platinum (given that it's at 220k now after a year and you only need to sell about 8-12k to hit the top 5 these days) I would be happy with a lower entry and longer stay in the top 10. It's so easy to promote a greatest hits and jts just not happening yet.

There is no way Leigh is 8 months pregnant with twins in that image.

Yeah this looks like it was shot probably around the time of HBA

The melody of that song seems really familiar. This is more what I expected from Jesy and I would love to hear some big vocals because she can belt.

So is 'between us' the new single or is it a promo?

Adele is untouchable. In an era where albums don't sell well, she will be double platinum by the end of the year

What do think setlist will be? I think in no order... 1. Sweet melody 2. Holiday 3. BUS 4. Confetti 5. Happiness 6. Gloves Up 7. No time for tears 8.HBA 9. Love Sweet Love 10. No 11. Between Us 12. Shout out 13. Black Magic 14. Secret Love Song 15. Wings 16. Woman like me 17. Wasabi 18. Power 19. Touch 20. Mlwlyd 21. Cut You Off 22. Bounce Back

For sure ^ it's like the Geordie Shore cast caring.on layers and layers and all that. It's putting on a mask essentially.

They handled the Jesy question as expected. But the interviewer thinking it's their first interview as a three? No.

Entirely accurate. I don't know what her team are doing hiding her from the comments. I understand being protective due to her past but there is a difference between trolling someone about their looks and calling them out for things they do. It leaves her vulnerable in interviews if she's left in the dark so much. I think Jesy is a decent person but as with many people, trauma can really impact your development and you're very exposed when you don't have your band mates to help. The same thing happened with Geri to a far worse degree. But ita very early days. She has the talent and the fan base to make it work. Hopefully for her that song that clicks with people comes early.

A ballad would be good coming up to Christmas plus SLS is the only true one we have had from them and that was huge.

I would like her to do well. I would also like her to get a better PR team and be a bit more savvy. All her interviews are like reading from a script. She may get a few hits but she has no chance of a big album. Album sales are just not there unless you're a mega star. Harry has been in the top 40 for 2 years and is only JUST coming up for 2 x platinum. Jesy is, however, hilarious and has such a good energy sometimes that I think she would do great in TV.
