to think that Little Mix are ghastly?

[grovel]

Even worse than the Military Wives Choir? At least I can rejoice in the motivation of the MWC.

AT the risk of confirming my Squeakysycophancy that seems to be overcoming me today, I feel I ought to point out that she was just observing Jesy's performing style, LtXmas, I didn't see anywhere in her comments references to Jesy's physical appearance?

ok, maybe apart form the bratzdolls reference, but that was more general, and nothing do do with reinforcing weight-related prejudices?

Oh hell, I apologise Squeakytoy, I meant Spiderpig - I'm sorry.

As you were

aha, X posts ViVi, I have no issue with Squeakytoys comments, I got myself confuddled in my indignation .

I don't like Little Mix, would rather have had Amelia win, and to be honest I think that there are three very pretty girls and then there's Jessy/Jessie/Jesy/whatever. I don't think she's as pretty as the others, and yet all of a sudden this means my opinion is invalid and I'm a complete pariah among my Facebook friends.

Will say though, was funny reading all of the passive-aggressive statuses that were blatantly pointed at me.

I can't believe they won. Utterly talentless.

:) thats, ok..

I dont think Jesy is at all fat. I think she is a very healthy normal size, and Perri is possibly a little underweight too, which emphasizes the difference between them.

The gold leggings would have looked dreadful on anyone, and Jesy has worn a few dubious outfits that have done nothing for her. She has a great figure and shouldnt be pressured into losing weight at all.

Whilst I know that in Pop World it matters what people look like (I actually think she's really pretty, matter of taste innit?) I am refusing to buy into that and listening to what they sound like. Don;t have any music channels anyway so will only ever encounter any of them again on radio. therefore looks irrelevant (to me!)

I can't stand their singing.

What I REALLY can't stand though are the jibes at Jesy being 'fat'. She has a lovely figure (as do the other three) and it's nice to see that actually, women do have bodies of different shapes and sizes and that it's OK not to look exactly the same as everyone else.

It hasn't helped that the stylists seemed to insist on dressing her in bloody awful baggy t-shirts and shiny leggings that NO woman could carry off, whilst dressing the other three in little tops and skirts.

Definitely agree with the sentiment that there'll be pressure for her to diet now to become slimmer, but she'll be told to say that the weight loss is down to the busy schedule and dance routines. Then in a couple of years time, it'll come out that she was put on a strict regime and nearly ended up with an eating disorder :(

I agree with scholes34 - X Factor has had it's day. Little Mix (awful name), aren't too bad but i'm not a fan.

I was surprised to find i do like Tulisa (awful name, again).
Looking forward to BGT!

Have a go at Little Mix if you must, but leave the MWC out of it they are in a different league!

Oh God, they are DREADFUL!!!! Marcus was robbed imo!

spiderpig8 Cute?? Are you including miss piggy in that

What a vile nasty comment that reflects the reasoning of someone clearly with issues if you feel the need to be so horrible about the appearnce of someone you dont even know. She has been the victim of a fair bit of cyber bullying to do with her weight (and I think she looks great) - would you be happy if someone you knew was subjected to this?

I was pleased when the Telly Adicts threads (which were terrific fun) put a stop to the horrible remarks about Jesy. She is a talented kid - who already, as you could see last night, has already lost a lot of weight. She's a normal looking girl with a voice, ambition and youth on her side. I like her.

spiderpig8- are you 12? 'cos you sound like a playground bully.

I must be the only person then who looks at Jest and does not get beyond 'wow, I wish I had her hair!'.

Jesy. oops

I think Jesy IS cute, lovely hair and amazing (if unusual) eyes. God, the way some women turn on each other is a disgrace.

They're a pop band- there to entertain.. leave them be!

They seem like sweet girls but that sort of crap music is not my cup of tea.

Wish them luck, though. They have no idea how hard their label is going to work them like the cash cows they are from now on in.

most of the finalists are signed to Cowells label anyway - 6 out of the 8 acts on the Saturday night final are signed to Cowell or his affiliates. He owns so many labels, it didnt matter who won.
its all a sham. and no i dont watch it!

I love them! Even though I am a total alternative music lover, I think they are a great bit of fun and great for the fickle world of pop. I love Jesys blatant over-acting a little quivery lip and I loved the fact they covered that En Vogue song too.

Absolutely appalled at some of the comments on here re: Jesy. That is somebody's daughter, how would you feel if some faceless bully said that about your child? She has a nice healthy figure and I think its good for the girls that will get into this group to have a such a diverse group of girls to look up to. There's a small one, a curvy one and two with more regular figures.

I simply will not have this Little Mix bashing!!!

Spiderpig8

Your comment about a girl from 'little mix' was absolutely disgusting!
I have read another unbelievable comment made by you on another thread just now regarding single parents.

How dare you judge others?

It wasn't long ago there were very long x factor threads over on Telly Addicts with multiple MNers sniggering about "Miss Piggy" - nobody batted an eyelid. Now she's been in the papers upset about comments everyone is jumping down SpiderPig's throat.

Funny how noone was bothered a few weeks ago.

But I agree that I don't think she is fat and I hope she stays the same. Little Mix were my favourite to win as the best of a bad bunch.
