Its like already they're trying to single her out as a solo artist from the get go, last line of the Sunday group number, Honestly the others are nothing without Perrie and people behind the scenes know that.

The girl should just go in it alone because she has so much potential by herself and judging by the judges reaction on her audition (bar Louis) I'm not the only one thinking it.

Wrong way round. Perrie is nothing without the group (as are all of them). Individually, she might have the best voice, but I don't think she has the ~star power~ that they have collectively. Besides, they became so popular with the public because they actually seemed like close friends, and I can't see their fans reacting well if one of them abandoned the others to go solo.

And anyway, is there any indication that Perrie herself wants to go solo? She seems to have a fantastic connection with the other LM members, and their voices come together beautifully.

Nonsense, you know how pop music works, if they can make Cheryl Cole into what she is today then they can do the same with Perrie.

Cheryl Cole is the opposite of Perrie, IMO. Cheryl was the member of GA who couldn't really sing but who had ~the X-Factor~, that intangible something that made people pay attention to her. Perrie is the equivalent of Nadine (who was the best singer in GA, but who crashed & burned when she tried to go it alone).

Why base history off other bands history? - Perries a top singer, Nadines good but meh, that was her dodgy agent.

This.

Some people really have their logics wrong. Cheryl would be nothing if she was not a member of Girls Aloud. Gary would be nothing if he was not in Take That. They were all recognised as a member of a certain group, not as an individual.

You were the one who brought Girls Aloud members into it; I was just correcting your questionable analogy.

I wouldn't go that far. While I much prefer Perrie in the group than out of it, she definitely has something. Nadine is flat-out unlikeable at times, whereas Perrie has a charm and a spark that's great to see. She's definitely the first one I'm drawn to when they interview.

On the Rivals Cheryl was like bloody Same Difference and other jokey acts. She kept getting put through and people were "she's can't bloody sing". WTF.

As for Nadine, wasn't her problem the fact that she was a mega b.itch who always resented that she wasn't thrust to the forefront all the time and she had to actually share some of the vocals with the other girls. I think she saw herself as more the Diana Ross the group as thought the other should stand behing her and "ooohhh".

The point I was getting to was you don't have to be a good singer to make it in pop music, like if you were looking to form a group i.e the Spice Girls.

I agree Perrie is the most powerful (but not best IMO) singer in the group, but I just prefer Jade's voice more, and this doesn't apply to just me, there's another thread about "which LM's voice you like the most", and about half of the posters said they prefer Jade's over Perrie's.

The problem of comparing LM with GA is that LM can all actually sing, yet maybe the others are not as good as Perrie, but at least they CAN and are quite good as well. If the group splits, I think Jade and Perrie would be more successful than the other two. Oh, and I think you're wrong comparing Perrie to Cheryl, because I think Jade is the Cheryl of LM, not Perrie.

The fact that Louis and Tulisa did not think she was good enough might tell you something.

End of the day she will be with them for a year or 2 so its a waste of breath starting a thread like this.

And so what if those 3 sang the last line of the group song means nothing. maybe they had the right voices for it.

right now she'd be a mug to leave them because without them she not get much of a deal.


Jade has much much more of a chance of being a solo star the perri.

and I think you were wrong in general because I was using Cheryl as an example of not very good singers having good success.

And the point I was making was that you don't just have to have a good voice. Perrie seems lovely, but I don't think she has enough star power to make it as a solo artist.

Totally agree, thats why she is more suited to the group, she'd never have won factor as a soloist put it that way.

Star power / Stage aura is non existent, that's why its manufactured.

Oi anymore of my observations you want to pinch Like I think they were the only 3 actually singing live and the rest were miming to a backing track

What? I don't get it.

1. You said that Perrie should go solo because without her the group would be nothing.
2. Then someone said that it should be other way round, "without LM Perrie would be nothing".
3. Then you said that that was "nonsense, as if they could make Cheryl successful, they could certainly make Perrie to be as well, and don't forget the fact that Cheryl can't sing!".

What's the link between (2) and (3)? Are you trying to say that without LM Perrie can be as successful as Cheryl, or even more, because Perrie can actually sing?

Nope

Nope

Ah, depends on how they market her, if people buy into Perries music then she could be or even more successful than Cheryl.

Well, I guess on that we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think you can manufacture the X-Factor. They've tried to do it a bunch of times with manufactured girl groups on TXF, and they just happened to strike gold with LM.
