Cheryl, Kitten, Miss Jade (!) the icon, Marina & Matraka

Nature and OMG are both way better than any of the 'Love' songs!

The video really does not give 'new star's second single coming from a 5 #1s girlband budget'. If anything it looks like it's come from someone fresh off a tv talent show. I also am kinda baffled by the fact that neither of her tracks have been particularly vocally challenging when the ONE thing Perrie was most known for in the group was her powerful lead vocals. She could have given us a dance anthem or even a Beautiful-like ballad or even a cover! A song like this is written for someone with a limited vocal ability, not a powerhouse.

Saw (& agree with) a theory that this would have been a much better lead single than 3rd single

It's just baffling how bad she is at the business side. It's painting a picture of things behind the scenes of the band and lends credence to a) Leigh and Jade being a driving force behind their success while the other two were more passive, b) Jade's reluctance to split might not just have been "believing they would have more success in the group" in the sense of really liking it, but more so in the sense of "anticipating at least some of them would struggle as solos" due to their characteristics or work style. This rollout says Perrie's good at presenting and the performance side of it when she's given a good track and pointed at a performance or an interview. Less good at thinking on her feet, and generally a bit pants at the strategic stuff in the first place re the broader shape of her solo career.

I can't decide if Leona is just cringey or darksided

After she lost the first heat of the Drag Race rate she just couldn't face being on AllStars

I reckon she will release another greatest hits after 45

It's clear from this voting score that not many people here have seen Spain All Stars which Samantha surprisingly killed!

I heard Alyssa Hunter and Tina before, I would be surprised to see Gigi as the cast already has some big names though.

Casual is a 10 for me, a lot of it isn't as much my taste though I can appreciate the craft

Ooh, good reason! I will Lab this time strategically but I think LD might be closer to where I'm at generally (plus the representative has done best in the debates imo)

In 1997 though they hadn't actively sent people to their deaths, while locking 90% of the population in their homes because covid was oh so dangerous, while they themselves partied and drank with no fear.

Oh that makes sense. Well, we could just use it to post a summary of the results for each heat so far instead of a link to the result. Also, look in the mod thread :P

Am I wrong or did you say you'd be posting the heats results in the master thread?

At this stage I'm starting to feel like Syco weren't that bad for them. Literally at this stage 3/4 of them have made a string of baffling solo career moves.

I've done the policies now. I'll do it again when it updates with Scotland, I just used England so I could do it. Results not quite what I expected! I did all the areas: Green 43.8% Lib Dems 25% Labour 18.8% (I kind of expected a Lib Dem lead and then Labour!)

Ngl I like it

Looks like we have our first tiebreaker round!

I'm liking it! I like Nicky a lot and Ruby, Le Filip as well. Leona Winter no though and she'll probably win it bc of her existing profile.

Their cover of 1999 is better than it has any right to be!

Whatever. It's over and done with now. I'm not going to get into it. As someone who lived through it it was hell, and unnecessarily unpleasant, no matter what the intent.

What a nothingburger. She should release the Whitney cover

Lockdown was 100% the worst experience of my life and the SNP just assumed everybody was middle class enough to be able to get through it within the rules they set.

Imo if she's back again it's to be an early out. I still believe Mayhem was contracted for one episode of UK vs 2. I could see the challenge be design or something, she messes up, then in B2 against someone back for the first time she gets cut due to her experience counting against her etc.
