Over as quick as it started I'm afraid. Throwing all of that away for a rather trashy song

You’re doing the exact thing you’re asking people not to do…. It makes no sense

I just bought another copy….

Watched the live while it was happening and was absolutely disgusted by Nicki (obvs) and Jesy. She could easily have stepped in and said something. It’s not about being on the spot that allows her not to speak up. She’s always been able to speak her mind before. And we all know that this live would have been arranged and agreed upon between Jesy and Nicki’s teams and they would have told them what to speak about and what not to speak about. I was a massive fan of hers in the group, was super upset when she left and wished her well because I genuinely thought she was leaving because she wanted to look after herself. This whole episode proves that it wasn’t the case! This was the final straw for me. She can’t come back from this.

Nah, don’t come for Leigh. And Jesy laughing - says it all.

Better than most of their cover shoots

Yeah, this isn’t it

But how do we know they haven’t spoken to her about her tan? It’s very different to Jesy. She’s actively making a living being someone she’s not. And she’s been called up on it before and is continuing to do nothing about it.

I had very little knowledge of blackfishing a few years back (still educating myself) and I assume given that this and BLM have been at the forefront of conversations over the last 18 months more people have woken up to it. Of course we were sad when she left the band, and then we came to terms with it and were relatively excited for what was to come. It doesn’t mean we can’t see when something is wrong and needs to be called out though.

Tried to listen to it again today - I’m finding it gets worse with every listen.

I think we’re looking at the Leigh thing all wrong. She didn’t go out of her way asking him to make a defamatory video. She replied to his questioning whether he should make a Boyz dance video with a sly dig of ‘make one about her blackfishing instead’ which is what should be discussed. I think what she said / did was absolutely fine. This is only going to get messier. I can see Leigh speaking up on it now that this zzzz-list idiot has made this video.

#teamleighanne She’s done nothing wrong. What she actually said was in the lines of: Instead of making a dance video for. It’s, why don’t you make a video about the way she is blackfishing. People are making it seem like she reached out to fans asking them to drag her. That is definitely not the case.

Sad that they no longer follow her but it’s to be expected now. I think they’ve done the right thing for them and for their brand now.

I’m not a POC but my partner is and she doesn’t like how Jesy is being / has been the past few years. I can see the issues with how she’s behaving so I completely understand why others are feeling the way they are. And the worse thing about it is that I don’t think she’ll ever learn from it / change.

I think how MNEK has reacted is perfectly fine and he’s within his right to do that.

I don’t think it will happen. Girls aloud are all in one forum as is Beyoncé and Destiny’s child

This interview is really telling and it won’t do her any favours at all. Media is already picking up on it.

I'd love them perform sometime in November / December - would definitely boost the album over Christmas And that Brits shout out for next year - would be amazing

Their best chance would have been against Lana and Biffy

I think its current success is down in part to curiosity. I can see it doing quite well overall but I don't think it will be massive.

Exactly this. How do we know that MNEK didn't call her out on this? Isn't it a known fact that she's said she didn't like working with their team, which includes MNEK?

@1446387900304744450 I can't lie, I laughed

Everyone is allowed to have their opinions but please keep things nice in here. The unnecessary comments have been deleted. I personally don’t think I’ll be going back to it. Video is high budget at least.

After hearing the 7 second clip (and the Nicki verse) I'm not sold. I'll wait to hear the full thing before deciding but at the moment, it's a no from me.

I think Abba's 2nd week will be big enough for them to stay at number one. Little Mix as the highest debut that week
