With lyrics and media stories about their sex lives being the main commodity they're selling i don't think them all dancing in granny pants is the biggest worry.
Still, good luck to them. They know what the people want. Nice, humble girls who was fans just like us a few years ago ! |

I remember when they won they didn't dress like that. I don't see why it's necessary.

Plus they are more developed into lovely looking women. Have money to fix imperfections etc. |

They could all sing in sweaters and jeans but they wouldn't last long. |

Do you really think their records sell on the strength of their 'sexy' image? |

Its necessary because it sells.

Actually they are selling rather a large number of records (no 1 singles and albums).

Also, there is nothing sexually provocative about them, they are just confident in their own skin. And LM don't write the stories in the Daily Fail...blame that on a scurrilous press. |

He's done a fair bit of other stuff and besides, men varying in size is more tolerated in the media than women.

Now why would that be...different standards? You mean blatant sexism, like Olly would never be judged on his looks but LM are, almost by definition. They can't win with these attitudes so why bother...and that's what they do, they don't bother. They don't do provocative sexy, they're just themselves. Get used to it.

guys when the top DailyMail comments are unanimously nice about Little Mix and don't complain about their clothes whilst some of you keep going, it's time you give it a rest

Complaining about it is daft, but I think there's an interesting question about how much you appeal to objectification when you're promoting a band (and it's not the outfits; it's the moves)
Sex has been used to sell music since forever, but there's a risk of people tuning in just to see some gyrating bodies instead of listen to the music if the music is a bit by-the-numbers Lots of people were just ogling LM tonight (and not for the first time) and I honestly don't know where pandering to that becomes unacceptable, or if there is a point where it becomes unacceptable |

The double standards are irrelevant. What matters is the way things are, not the way you wish they were and in reality pop is all about image.
And what you're really saying is that Little Mix have to dress like that or they wouldn't get noticed, is that it? |

Are they? See Daily Mail above....especially the right hand column.

The Daily Mail isn't evidence. Its a posh tabloid.

Exactly, they're the best example of bitter people on the Internet and are always complaining about whatever Little Mix does. Tonight, though, they're complimenting the vocals and the performance, which are the actual point of their appearance and should be the focus.
Little Mix don't have the best selling arena tour in the UK in 2016 because of how they dress. 2. I didn't say they were only successful because of how they dress. Its also how they look and how they're sold to their fans. |

As the comment above says above Little Mix had the biggest UK arena tour this year and it wasn't because of their sexy image which is irrelevant to their audience.
