Do you think this is a band who could stay together for a long while or do you think they'd want to pursue a solo career - especially if they become successful very quickly. I mean they entered the competition as solo singers with a soloists aspirations to begin with, do you think being in a band would have really changed that?
Little Mix fans.. here's a question for you...

It depends on how well they get along, long term. No one's gonna just walk out on a good thing without good reason.

Its Hard to know, Right now id say maybe. If they win they will be the 1st band to win the show(boy or girl). Its hard to know how they would handle that pressure.
We have already seen Jesy have her problems and cry how she can't do it, if she kept doing that once they had gigs as band they might want rid of het etc.
we don't know how real the bond is between them truly, we are only seeing what they are showing us atm.
only time will tell i guess.
On the first live show I thought that was going to be the case.
But week on week, watching them grow, this group is sticking around. If you watch their video diaries, you'll see that these girls are sisters.

YES I think being in a band has changed that as:
They seem happy all working together and as jesy once said she feels the girls are like her legs she would be lost without them.
I can see them staying together for the forseeable future.
Pierre I think it was told her mum that once xfactor has finished she wants to move to london with the other girls.
I think each girl bounces of the other, they can all sing and piere can hit the high notes like when they did
E.T
Don't Let Go and
Beautiful.
Only one of them would ever have a chance of a solo career anyway, so the question is a bit pointless.

I dunno, I didn't think it was a pointless question because if you have set your sights on a certain career path initially but then maybe it takes you in another direction to get you there, then being in a band for some of these girls may be a secondary option, bearing in mind they were put together and if it meant staying and possibly winning the compeition as a band who wouldn't pass that up!
However, as per Rhythmixfan1's response, there's many positives and benefits for them to stay together, hopefully they will see it that way after X-Factor too. It would be nice to see this girl band do extremely well as we've been lacking a girl band for a while now.

But I think them realising that they weren't good enough to be a solo act, and thus having the option to have a 'career' as a group won't make them decide to have another go at being a solo act, because it's been shown they weren't good enough.
i think the fact thet there seem like really good friends they`d prob stay together i think theve found them selves some good friends for life in each other

Ah, but do these girls really believe that or the show made them believe it for their own means due to the lack of band entries this year. They are brilliant both as a band and as individuals.

Well seeing their respective solos during their performances has led me to believe that only the blonde one has a strong enough voice for a solo career. But of course that's my opinion and I might be proven wrong if your original point comes true!
Just because Belle Amie & Hope did doesn't mean they will. They all have genuine friendship which is a lot of these girl bands round at the moment don't have
What made JLS and One Direction work was their obvious friendship and they just clicked together - the "chemistry" much talked about by the judges is a cliche but it does come across to the viewers. The Risk struggled with it (changing line-up), Nu Vibe definitely didn't have it, nor did Miss Frank or the multiple GA/Saturday wannabe girlbands we've had in past years. Little Mix definitely have it and it just makes the performances seem a lot more real and accomplished.
I'm a fan, but it all depends on single choices, promotion etc.
If they are signed to Syco, I hope they keep their urban edge and don't turn too pop. We already have The Saturdays. But with Mini Viva, Girls Can't Catch, Parade and SoundGirl all flopping and under the radar, this is the perfect time for the girls.
I think the girls can do a JLS/1D and hopefully have the consistency of JLS.

i think your opinion is valid, but then - if you're looking from a vocal angle - explain the careers of the minogue sisters, cheryl cole, jennifer lopez, miley cyrus, paula abdul even to some degree madonna...
none of us has a crystal ball, however - but at the moment they seem extremely tight as friends - and they give each other lots of confidence. with the right material and guidance i think they could have a very healthy mid-term pop career as a group.
i think the concerns of other posters here about jesy's emotions being a factor - i think they're in a completely unnatural situation at the moment, the pressure of the competition, etc - the day to day pressure of working in the music industry will no doubt be as intense at times, but nothing like what they're going through at the moment.
I wonder how many of them really entered the competition covinced they could win as a soloist and how many turned up thinking it might be worth a shot to see how far they could get and have a laugh. I don't know much about what they did before X Factor but don't imagine there was a huge amount of experience and training in place. They have blended very well together, the best manufactured group we've seen. Aside from the lack of talent, my big issue with Wand Erection last year was that, however much they might like each other off stage, on stage they didn't blend as a group, they just seemed like five lads doing their own thing.
I think Little Mix have been over-hyped to a ridiculous extent as they are nothing special but I do think they have a better chance together than separately and also think they've probably got the sense to figure this out.

jade and perrie have got a firm performing arts background (their mums are a defining factor in that) whereas jesy and leigh-anne are less experienced and polished (altho jesy has lots of dance experience, she was with diversity's "sister troupe" for many years)...

The audition process for x Factor doesn't show up who's good enough, it shows up who they want to be on the television show and who they don't.
Don't tell me you've actually been - gasp - sucked in????
I think that they will stick together. Even though seperately they are amazing vocalists I think their friendship and chemistry will win through. They have fought hard to get a fan base from X Factor as a girl group and there is no way they will just throw it away.

Depends how you define performing arts background. Jade has a lot more experience than Perrie as she has performed for a number of years around venues in the north east. Perrie not so much. Any that Perrie did do was only to build her confidence as she didn't think (and probably still doesn't) she was that good vocally. As for them not being put through as solo artists. That doesn't mean that vocally they weren't good enough. Was probably confidence issues. The producers may have saw that each of these girls could bring something out in the other. Which is true. As they are in the semi finals. Woohoo go girls xx
