This made my whole day. Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. But I'm not going to lie, you not knowing who Gary Barlow is made me feel so very old. Haha! A very Merry Christmas to you, you ray of light!

My favorite X Factor version still to date has to be the Winner's Story Video that was released a week after they won. It shows some of the performances and a lot of commentary from the girls, judges, and others. It also shows what happened during the week following the win, ( press and promo). It is a 45 min video, but is still a MUST watch for any Little Mix fan. Mike, if you have the time,, please watch this version as it may answer alot of the questions you had watching the Journey video. Here is the link to the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx8-sIVKj4Q&t=2105s

I've always felt that Jade has been the strong vocal bridge of Little Mix, and I agree with you that she really does sound the same now as she did then. She already had it together, knew her identity and her middle name is control. I really believe she is the secret weapon and ace of the group that can just turn on a whim and do anything with her voice. Perrie is the power with a capital P and always has been, and aside from having her tonsils removed and that changing the nature of her voice a bit, I do agree that she has definitely improved over the years as well. Leigh we can all agree gets the award for most improved over the years, and unfortunately was also the most neglected during this beginning stage in regards to having the least amount of lines, so she really didn't have many chances to shine, but when she did she showed that she always had it within her when given the chance, just needed a bit of refining. And Jess is just Jess. She can be shaky at times, other times stronger, she also improved over the years. This was a wonderful and long-awaited reaction to watch, and I consider it a great Christmas present so thank you Michael from one Mixer to another.

Not a tour but did you listen to The Power of Little Mix podcast? Lee Lee's movie is now available on Amazon Prime. It's cute af.

Love love love these long little mix videos! You’ve done so much of their content and there’s still tons. The Glory Days documentary is a fun one. And I believe Get Weird has a tour movie which would be a great reaction! :) Merry Christmas Michael, hope you and your family have a great one.

Great reaction. Jade is actually still really good friend with Marcus (the other finalist). You might see him on her Instagram every now and then 👍🏻

and also they've done an apple music gig around the beginning of LM5, it's all acoustic it's was really good and emotional (I Think you reacted to some of the songs) but the whole gig is so good !
LeilaB
2021-12-19 10:21:17 +0000 UTC
Loved your reaction ! They've come so far vocally (even thought they were already really good in here). Next, I would love you to react to their Glory Days documentary and they just posted 2 parts of at home documentary on their youtube channel

I remember watching them all the way up until the final and then I was in Australia for the actual final and missed it 😂
I definitely feel the latter half of the competition is where they shone. At the start, I feel Tulisa was trying too hard to make them ‘urban’ and that coupled with the backing instrumentation drowning them out week after week, makes me think in hindsight they were very lucky to get through those earlier weeks.
I do feel some of Gary’s comments, particularly on If I Were A Boy were strategic. He knew the girls were good and was trying to discredit them to bolster Marcus’s efforts.
Speaking of, Marcus later said he was told by production he’d lost before he’d even walked into the stage for the winner’s announcement so I wonder if the girls knew too? 🤔 They did genuinely seemed stunned when their name was called so maybe not.
Music aside, the X Factor stylists did them all dirty and I’ll never forgive them for that 😂 R.I.P Leigh’s hair 💀 That was at the time Rihanna had red hair and Cassie had shaved half her head off so I think they were trying to model her on other big American POC singers, instead of allowing her her own identity.
Anyways, another great reaction Michael. Had to split it into two sessions as it was so long and my other half was complaining he wanted to go to bed last night and I still had 50 minutes to go 🤣
Have a great Christmas and I look forward to the tour reactions!

That was a song (don't remember the title) from Florence and the Machine.

This was a classic "icing the kicker" kind of move as you will know from (American) football.
Ivan Lee
2021-12-19 07:45:36 +0000 UTC
The judges were trying to advance their candidates to the final so some of them were going after Little Mix intentionally and it was very obvious, even to the audience. Little Mix went to the finals and beat Kelly and Gary's candidates so the strategy didn't work.
Ivan Lee
2021-12-19 07:44:14 +0000 UTC
Gary Bartlow was coach for another front runner in the competition and was worried Little Mix would win so he was trying to sabotage them with the classic girl group poison pill making one person the lead and making them turn against each other.

2021-12-19 07:33:14 +0000 UTC
https://youtu.be/9GUDK3wndPs This is the whole performance of "Beautiful"

I'll send you the link. Little Mix killed that song too.
Ivan Lee
2021-12-19 07:27:26 +0000 UTC
Yes they skipped a few performances but you can find them on YouTube individually.

2021-12-19 07:25:28 +0000 UTC
That was Tulisa, the judge in charge of mentoring the groups for Xfactor. She used to be part of a band.

This was such a bittersweet video, but a really great reaction from you, as always! Really excited to see what Little Mix content you get into next <3

Carly Rose Sonenclar was on the same X factor season as fifth harmony! You should do the fifth harmony X factor journey too!!

She was my absolute favorite and I'm still bitter she didn't win tbh If it makes you feel old she just graduated college and is still just as amazing and making music! I'll link her lastest work for you if you're interested!

Jade was more formed as an artist cause she was already trying to make a living at being a singer before the x factor and was gigging in different places. In comparison, Jesy had never done a harmony until she did one with the girls and hadn't sung publicly since she was a kid doing Annie. Perrie sang a lot at home and in school but not professional experience. Leigh was also kind of pursuing music but not the way Jade was. The conversation between Jesy and Jade was actually forced onto Jesy. Producers found her crying one night and asked her if she wanted to talk to the other girls about it and she said no and they pushed her so she agreed if they wouldn't film it but then they filmed it secretly and aired it.

It just occurred to me that apart from Beautiful they also didn't have Little Mix singing Silent Night from the finale. Here's the link if you want to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o01oYdwI_pA

tulisa (the judge that mentored them) was a part of the hip hop group n-dubz (standing for north west, the region of london where they were from) that was active from 2000-2011. i was born in 2000 so i was young when they were around, but i remember them being quite popular!
jade
2021-12-19 01:36:59 +0000 UTC
I think there's actually a couple of songs that you didn't get to see in this one. Obviously beautiful, but I'm sure they did a Justin Bieber cover too (not my favourite of theirs) but that wasn't in this. Can't remember if there's any more though.

It's always amazing to watch their X Factor journey and see how they formed and how far they've come since, they were so wonderful even back then and it's so lovely to see how close their bond was even from the start, and to think about everything they've done since then is just incredible! Loved your reaction to all of it <3 I'd love to see a reaction to the at home documentary part 1 and 2 that they posted recently on their youtube channel, I think you'll love that :D I think the Glory Days tour documentary would be great to see you react to, but any of the tour stuff is always great to see a reaction to! <3

I loved every second of this. I watched their whole season on Youtube like 5 or 6 years ago and was blown away by how good they were from the start. ET and Don't Let Go are some of the best performances on a talent show I've ever seen by anyone. I love them so much.

Michael! Carly Rose and Alex and Sierra were not the same season of TXF lol She got 2nd place on the second season (the one that formed Fifth Harmony and they finished 3rd) and A&S won the third (and last) season of the show

perrie sounds different because i believe she went through a surgery in her throat after the DNA album which changed her voice.

Yeah those makeovers in the beginning bothered me as well. Leigh later said in an interview they shaved her head to make her look like the “rihanna” of the group
