Courage of Iranian woman filmed dancing wildly to Little Mix's 'Salute' on a Tehran tube train in defiance of the mullahs
Woman seen in video dancing on Tehran subway to Little Mix's Salute
Song by UK pop group encourages women to stand up for themselves
Iranian law says women can't dance or be seen without veil in public
Pretty cool. Maybe this will dampen the complaints about LM and feminism.
Anyone else thinks that they're all just overrated? Their voices didn't really sound different one to another and they're just boring.
I'm going to go with 'no'. A discussion thread doesn't exactly reach part 9 on the basis that the posters find the group boring. Besides, the irony of someone who has just started a glowing thread about OTY referring to any act as 'overrated' is a laugh.
I've only just realised that this is my first post here in donkeys. I ought to stop lurking for months on end.
Just want to add, this is the kind of thing, if the story goes wide, that gets you invited onto talk shows. Because it elevates you beyond run of the mill pop group.
Its probably "rent an audience" since its only 3 hours, so maybe LM will perform that Xmas song they teased on IG. They were all clutching lyric sheets in it. Not exactly Jingle Bell Ball but we'll take what we can get.
They should do "A Mixmas Carol". . Rodney as Scrooge and Dave as Bob Cratchit.
Can I have a little chin wag with you? Short n sweet! #asklittlemixalittlequestion xxjadexx
@LittleMix will we ever get the second part to DNA? #asklittlemixalittlequestion
maybe 😏 we have plans... #asklitlemixalittlequestion xxjadexx
The part of the song used for the clip is arguably the most provocative (Leigh's verse) so I think that woman knew what she was doing. I hope she's ok though as a mixed group filmed themselves dancing to Happy and got a suspended sentence of jail time and 91 lashes. Maybe the sentence was face saving by the regime.
Most of the majors picked up the story: NBC, Telegraph, Independent, BBC and US News. Its gotten 980,000 views on the FB page.
Can you imagine their next intro:
5 million records sold
Platinum album
3 Gold singles
Inspiring civil disobedience abroad
If only this was the real Britney lol. Had a laugh at him saying the album flopped because of Fifth Harmony. Their EP was released last summer/fall and they didn't put a new single out for this year until, what, August? Salute came out in November 2012 and stateside this March and 5H certainly didn't do them any damage in the UK.
For the acts on The X Factor this weekend their 2nd song has been picked by music stars and former X Factor alumni:
Andrea: Chandelier by Sia (Picked by Sam Smith)
Ben: Come Together by The Beatles (Picked by One Direction)
Fleur: A Fool in Love by Tina Turner (Picked by Emeli Sande)
Lauren: Clarity by Zedd feat Foxes (Picked by Little Mix)
Stereo Kicks: Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars (Picked by Tulisa)
What do you bet they film several songs then release them like tiny time capsules over the next few weeks to fill in the gap before whatever their campaign is.
The unidentified woman, who also loses her hijab head covering during the dance, gyrates wildly to a song the British pop group Little Mix as fellow passengers look on.
Little Mix's first viral video, and its in the political realm. The posting on My Stealthy Freedom has over a million views now. I hope the Washington Post and NY Times pick it up. Hackford Jones must be salivating. You cant buy this kind of good PR.
I hope the girls have something prepared for when they are asked about the Iranian dancing video. I hope they've moved on a long way from the idea that feminism = hating men. It would be nice if they gave a 'salute' on their twitter and facebook pages too.

Oooh that sounds interesting.

They had 3 weeks off over Christmas, I dont know if they had any holiday before then (I hope not because there was album promoting to be done).
In post production for #KodeRed today; @ollyofficial @CollabroGlobal @LittleMix and @marlonroudette! @syco

Did they secretly film their music video already? Kode did Move.
Edit: they also shot the zoo day, but it doesnt seem logical to announce being in post for a similar simple one off.
We had a great day at @zsllondonzoo with the @LittleMix girls on a recent #KodeRed shoot youtu.be/LEcHq9M7vMc

Interesting analysis. Doesn't make much sense to tweet that if it wasn't more than a one off.
I would love if they secretly filmed a music video. But I doubt it. I think there would have been a slip up by someone.
But everything is so hush hush this era. Who knows?
"If"?

Very good song choice for Lauren by Little Mix!
No Silent Night again either. It should be this:
#LittleMixChristmasCover @LittleMix grandma got run over by a reindeer😂😂😂
It seems they are filming a Little Mixmas special
