Oh dear...
Also, what's wrong with just calling fans "fans"...? I hate this whole giving-fans-a-different-name thing. |

From their management's point of view though...They're a manufactured girl group. They need to keep releasing music. I don't know how well their other album sold as I'm not a huge fan or follower but they need to keep producing. I'd imagine that their record company had a set amount of tickets that they wanted to sell and they didn't reach that target. Also the next series of the X Factor is just around the corner. They'll need to fit in a performance. |

The album is clearly an excuse because the ticket sales weren't what they expected.
They can't say tour cancelled because of poor sales so they make an excuse no matter how lame it is. |

![]() The last album was reasonably good although the singles were released in the wrong order and they could do with a killer single if they are to progress. |

Why would you cancel a tour for the sake of an album which can be put back for a while? And is the release of an album and a performance on XF that important?

Despite what the press hype up LM are not that popular in the U.S, their singles have all flopped, the albums both hit top 10 but that's because the initial fanbase bought it in the first week of release, but that is only about 120k, nowhere near even gold.

Yet still more successful than other British girl bands in the last decade and a half... |

Why would Americans even want to see a band like Little mix in the first place? They've got a plethora of similar, but vastly superior, outfits like them already.

The problem is that these XF acts are just seen by Cowell as a cashcow to be milked as quickly as possibly and then thrown away to make way for the next lot. So rather to give them time to work on decent material, they are rushed into the studio to churn out an album a year, each one progressively worse than the last.
Exactly the same happened with JLS where their debut was promising but rather than taking their time to improve their output, they were rushed into churning out crap to boost the Cowell coffers |

Out of other girl bands who have actually given it a proper go then yes, LM have been more successful, but since no other girlband has actually tried I don't think we can really count any others.

Yeah because the Saturdays didn't 'give it a proper go' with their TV show and getting a had been rent a rapper in their track. Just laughable comments in this forum. Constant dragging of people down not recognising actual achievements.

The Saturdays didn't give it a proper go though, barely any promo, their management notoriously sucks, everyone in the pop world knows that, hence why they called them back to the UK just as their song was about to hit the hot 100, then it ended up flopping because they didn't give it a "proper go". Unlike Little Mix. Who have.

Their Children in Need Charity single, which should have been a guaranteed number one, only reached number six. One of their recent singles had a first week chart position of number 54. They have become such a joke act in the UK I wouldn't be surprised if Cowell pulled the plug. Which also means the fake relationships will come to an end too. |

The Saturdays did no promo? That is laughable. They had their own TV show but nobody wanted to watch. Little Mixes UK sales alone are incredible in comparison to where they are in their career and where the Saturdays are...and the Saturdays have got 5 albums and 18 singles under there belt!
