Hated the song and you can see they have been 'got at' by the record company. Not a bad performance though.

I don't understand why you didn't say Little Mix? Meant to be a joke? Meant to be clever?

I love the "and my heart won't beat again, I f**king feel him in my veins" line.

Seems they are being moulded into sexy young ladies now. That's fair enough but if that's the ultimate market why does the show always seem to push girl bands as asexual little teenys instead of the finished or mature article. Maybe the show isn't ready to feature a mature overtly sexual group of women getting all breathy, sweaty,slinky and suggestive...., save that for part two of the master plan. Hope this doesn't sound pervy or sexist... it's just my impression of the raunchy angle that likes of Girls Aloud, Rhianna etc exploit in their songs/videos to help attract fans and win sales.

Wha?

The show has ALWAYS pushed overtly sexual girlbands and they've always gone out within a few weeks of the live shows starting. Little Mix were the oddity, in that they were marketed as sweet little girls who wouldn't steal your boyfriend - and they won the show.

They clearly learned to understand their voting demographic. Sexy girlbands are not popular with the voters. Sweet, sugar-wouldn't-melt girlbands are popular.

Now Little Mix have won, are in the real world and have established their fanbase of girls, they sex them up to try and expand their fanbase into hormonal teenage boys.

I think their Styling has sex up a bit because the type of song. If you looked at the Wings video, every thing was cute and bright colours because it goes with the song. If you look at DNA video, they look more mature because DNA sounds more mature.

I personally don't think they've "sexed" up. They just look a lot older. If you watch their outside performances, they seem to wear "cute" clothes .......but hey that is just me

The song was ok but they're unremarkable performers and looked horrendous. Why are they putting the tubby one in such tight clothes?

The line is if i can't feel him in my veins but i can see why people hear it like that.

Yeah, I know what the line is supposed to be. I just find it an amusing misheard lyric

I'm amazed it got through writing, production, recording, rehearsals, and nobody pointed out "that really sounds like she's swearing".

It doesn't sound like she's swearing on the official video. I can understand the mis-heard lyric here, but she could've sang it differently in the Result Show rehearsal.

That's a really nasty thing to say!! She is not 'tubby'- has lost loads of weight (probably because of horrid remarks like this!!)

just ignore this cretin, anyone with functioning eyes can see she's not tubby - they're just trying to get attention.

I liked their new song and groomed hot look. Anyway the girls said their fans are all girls. Younger boys wouldn't buy their records surely.

If the material was good then everyone should be able to buy it.

Their music is good! Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't.

She's still tubby. And doesn't mind dishing it out (as per their comments on Christopher Maloney.)

I don't dislike it particularly. Wings was a bit naff but I did just say I liked DNA on a previous post.

She's not tubby at all. The other girls are too skinny.

If an act you liked were accused of saying that you would ignore it because its in the sun but because you dislike little mix it is suddenly the most trustworthy paper ever and she isn't tubby. She is normal size.

I didn't say I didn't like them. There's nothing wrong with her being tubby - stop being so sizeist!
