They will then have a second song/single they can perform at the christmas radio shows and on Alan Carr/Graham Norton and release in January/Feb (my Valentines ballad).
Please no ballad. Stick with the up tempos for singles girls.

Their vocals shine on some of their ballads though, particularly Towers. I was hoping they'd have 2 uptempo singles out before end of the year so the ballad wouldn't be 2nd single but I'll take what I get. A mid tempo like How Ya Doin, Competition, or Ella Henderson's Ghost would work as well. The 4th/summer single must be either a bop or a banger though.
Moving the album release later has enabled them to put BGT into their promo schedule. Little Mix all year round!
Can't say I'm too happy, an extremely weak choice considering it's the strongest line up team-wise. Probably why it's being announced so late, they didn't want it to negatively affect ticket sales.
The booking itself doesn't sound like it was planned for a long time. Which makes me wonder if it was or if someone else dropped out. Idk. Like CV said, im not sure it's a great idea but whatever lol.
I don't know the UK audience, but sporting events here usually sell well no matter who the entertainment is. Usually Twitter will hear the backlash. I remember when ellie goulding was on nba over here and nobody liked her
Edit: btw WHY can nobody -I mean- nobody say where they first heard it? The first sources just randomly said it. Who told them? Lol
I don't mean to sound nasty but Perrie always looks very dirty. I miss her back in the X Factor days - she looked better with less make up.
I see what you're saying but one possible reason is that being the youngest her skin may still be sensitive to all the makeup so the face has to be covered up more for now. I remember Leigh saying during the XF tour that she was taking shots so she wouldnt break out badly, but now that she's older her skin has cleared. Jade and Jesy have always had nice skin.

But you stopped by a Little Mix thread. ;-) They are really good, check them out and let us know. I for one am curious to see if the audience reacts.
I cant see the entertainment preshow or halftime affecting sales. Fans are there for the football.
Their make up artist is awful. He spends lots of time on the others, crayoning on the lipliner, and then cleans his brushes on Perrie's face. She has very pale skin with a cool tone but he keeps putting on foundation with brown/golden tones instead of pink. The eyebrows are wrong as well. When she does her make up herself she often looks much better.
Not that I consider Twitter accurate, but, someone said @nfl_uk actually posted it but then deleted but not before fans saw it.
Yet there is no screen shot? I admit it doesn't look good, as he suspects about ticket sales, but still. Just seems very last minute and I don't think this was long planned? IF the NFL account tweet and deleted, it is probably not set in stone. Unless this is the teased announcement? Wouldn't even the girls be hinting more? I don't get it.
Is it gonna be what I suspected regarding new material as well? Might not be the right audience but still. It was "rumored" we would hear music news this month?
Cv- im sure he has his/her opinion already. Probably stopped by to see how we felt or whatever the consensous was. Jmo
Their own account doesnt announce appearances so silence isnt surprising. If they try to perform Little Me or even Salute with that audience I'd fire someone, personally. Maybe they're having second thoughts and are pulling out themselves.
On the other point, people can be pleasantly surprised.
My 2 cents: let's wait and see what they say tomorrow about new material.

I'd worry that they might get booed if they did perform one or both of those...:o
Many sports fans of this type of game don't generally behave in anything but a machismo fashion at these events....(at least the UK ones do)......;-):p.
I'm not sure how a girl band will be received at such a gladiatorial event
Still, as you say, we'll have to wait and see....
It was a Falcons cheerleader that tweeted it and deleted it soon after. There's been no official confirmation from anywhere near a reputable source - that'll probably be on Sky Sports tomorrow evening.
The NFL gig is weird their music just doesn't suit it, when the girls did Salute at that rugby gig it was with a zero response, since a such pro female song at a mens rugby match was never going to get the greatest response lol, but who knows maybe it'll work. Oh damn i was just reading a NFL UK thread and people are.................well less than thrilled shall we say.
edit: They must be getting paid fairly well from all these extra gigs because otherwise why do them while they are recording for a new album........or their management/label is saying yes regardless lol
Yeah but this isn't BGT lol, a lot of these NFL fans were wanting someone more suited to the NFL, and then there a quite a lot who don't even know who they are because they never followed X Factor or other crap
Ugh yes, like I said over here I don't believe the entertainment deters most fans. They will just complain and that's about it. Lol I remember the NFL tried to get the acts to pay and I guess it didn't happen. Lol
Yes, I understand how non fans feel though. The whole thing is weird to me. It's not going to air worldwide. So, I don't know.
Rob, thanks. I keep asking these fan accounts nobody knows. Lol NOW I know. lol oh well.
I wouldnt dismiss the cheerleader's account entirely. They're part of the program. I'd think her quick deletion makes sense if she was ordered to.
Having pointed out Katy (was Madonna any better a fit?) I will admit the Superbowl halftime show attracts a lot of casual and non football fans, so maybe that would be a partial behind a possible LM booking.
Speaking of bookings, apparently the girls are presenting at that awards show tomorrow. I wonder if they were originally intended to perform new material back when they were slotted in and the album wasnt later but its been amended to present now.

Yes, I'm one of them, and I'm going to that game.

If they survive a few more years it would make a good "what were they thinking?" story for themselves.
I was merely answering a question I'd seen through Google search results as I was already a forum member ;-)

"Not that there's anything wrong with that..." ;-). Well stop by and give us the intel after the game anyway, for yucks.
There was a lot of whining pre BGT and then a lot of "hey they're good" after.
Oh, thanks!
