There's already a reaction video to F.U.

https://youtu.be/lNOx8JIE_og
I wanna see the Couples React video although the remove all their LM videos after a while (copyright issues - I don't know?). I just wish when they react to the LM videos the guy just shuts up for one second because he always talks over their greatest vocal moments in songs.

OT: How does Jesy's fiance have a personal wiki page but the girls have only a band one?
Leigh-Anne did have one I believe but it got removed

I'm surprised Jade didn't step up with the songwriting too. But she was probably too busy with Jed and Leigh just went in and did her thing. Single Jade was always so focused. Leigh breaking from Jordan really allowed her hone in on her songwriting on this album.

As far as I'm seeing it, if she co-wrote every song on the album, Glory Days is her Taylor Swift moment for Jordan Kiffen. And very little to do with Perrie and Mumbles relationship as the media and everyone wants to make it out as.

I wish they'd put the SOTME reaction video on FB

Perrie stans are annoying. Whilst Perrie has the biggest range and is absolutely talented, I think over the years the other girls have become even stronger making them all EQUAL in terms of ability (although I've always thought Jade has been incredible from the start).

Just heard FU again properly and I am sorry to say but LA and Jesy totally stand out for me on this track. Jesy's emotion when she sings and Leigh's soft yet powerful range is just epic.

However, those harmonies by all four of them are BEAUTIFUL.
I don't mean this to be taken the wrong way but I think the best thing about LM is how brilliantly their voices intertwine and compliment each other. That's why I love that they contribute very equally on their songs because they sound so beautiful when in vocal harmony. I think that's part of the reason they were placed together on the XF, because they all had 'it' but perhaps not enough of 'it' to be a solo star.

Although, I'm sure any of them could go solo now.

Woah woah woah. Lets be realistic here. The other professional songwriters were probably the main writers, and Leigh Anne has enough contributions to be credited. I dont think she came up with the melodies and all the lyrics on her own. Credit to her though.
Well we'll never know unless we get an interview where they detail it or a behind the scenes in the recording studio

I mean she did have solo writing credits outside aside from the other girls on Love Drunk and alongside Jade on ADIDAS. She's got some skills but like someone said, it could be a glitch so let's wait and see.

I think they could too but all I'm saying is in all their songs where they sing their individual parts some shine more on certain songs and the other members may shine on another song. For example, Love Me or Leave Me on Get Weird was when I realised Leigh-Anne could really belt and that her range was absolutely massive.

But you are right, when they sing together those harmonies are absolutely perfect. I also love how now the girls, in particular Jade and Leigh-Anne alternate in singing low and high parts when Jesy and Perrie are singing their solo verse or whatever. So amazing to see they can switch it up.

On the solo subject matter, I wouldn't ever want them to go solo. I love them together

Yeah Leigh-Anne has come up in leaps and bounds. Her voice is great and I saw this from XF but she just needed more ways to control it more and find her sweet spots to really stand out even though it was great as it is (see Turn Your Face). It's clear though that during the GW, she found a new level of confidence and REALLY went for it.

Her moments in Love Me or Leave Me, Lightning and ILY are massive standouts for me. It's weird because in their recent book, she mentions that she's seen many comments about her voice not being as strong as the others but not once did she say "I KNOW my voice isn't as strong and that's why I have the other girls to compliment me" or something along those lines. She's more confident than ever and it shows when she sings.

I just think it is great that one member of the group has some input into every song. I was a little surprised that it was Leigh Anne, but she always surprises me.

am i hearing Leigh's line in FU right?

"i'll get my revenge, take MY key to your Benz"




I'm also still trying to decipher what she sings earlier in her verse-

You're so good, You're so good-

?????you'll lead to my death???? <--- is that what she' singing?

You havent been Clued Up since 2011 then.

Watch the girls embarrass The Risk at the JessieJ concert. At 5:05 Leigh Anne lets loose. I dont know why anyone ever thought she had a "weak" voice.

OT: look at the YouTube sidebar. There's Mr. Spectrum Pulse smiling and clapping to Leigh Anne's swimsuit in the SOTME video on his Billboard Breakdown thumbnail.

They've all come a very long way but I'd still be skeptical about their solo prospects, if we define success as achieving a large fraction of LM's sales. Their strong and advancing group chemistry is a huge selling point.

they most definitely would not be selling out arena tours if they went solo any time soon

LA is a SUPERSTAR!

Not only a great creative mind but gorgeous and her voice is stunning. I'm so glad she's always out and about at social events getting that extra PR for the girls too.

If the songs on Glory Days are at the standard of SOTME and FU then that girl seriously has an amazing career in songwriting and can earn so much money if she produces hits for the other artists (just no more Pretty Girls )
Leigh Anne has been taking lessons from someone else about jumpstarting a solo career.

Since they do an abbreviated version live I think they should replace Leigh Anne's first ad lib "You're really quite the man" with Jesy's, and then have Leigh do her second one.

Agree with this all of them sound great on F.U but this really is Jesy's song . It suits her voice so much she really owns it !

I'm not sure you'll like this one cv, the melody's a bit confusing, I really like it but much more because it's a bit different for them and because they sound very good but wouldn't like to see it as a single.

I want a song that sounds more original than what we've been getting though, I'm tired of the this sounds like x + y comparisons, I know every song will sound like an older one but so far there have indeed been notable similarities

how do we think cohesion is going so far?
