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.

Yes, they have ONE decent singer amongst them. And if you compare the beginning to now, Jesy has lost a fair bit of weight.

Role models? Don't think they will be. Wasn't there already a scandal with one of them? With a contestant or something?

I expect all photo shoots will airbrush too, sadly.

Bloody hell..

5 year old girls their 'target audience'?

Do you think so!??

'5 year old girls their 'target audience''

see? the miss piggy look is bang on target then!

spiderpig shame on you.

As for Little Mix, they're young girls living their dreams- there's enough horrible things going on in the world so let them enjoy their fun- they're not doing anyone any harm and are actually bringing fun to a lot of people

Still waiting for your picture - spiderpig? Without the veil/mask wuld be good.

*would

What are you all on? Yes, Jesy has a face like Miss Piggy. That is actually a fact. Jesy is not fat. She has a lovely figure. She has lovely hair. But, she has a face like Miss Piggy.

It is you lot that is inferring that a comparison to Miss Piggy is somehow a negative thing. How dare you treat Miss Piggy like that?

It's just like Nicola from Girls Aloud being referred to as 'the ugly one' (why anyone would think that is beyond me anyway) Someone has already said that Little mix are '3 pretty girls and Jessie'. Can you imagine what it would do to your confidence to hear crap like that? So bloody cruel. It would be lovely if women didn't feel the need to attack each other now, wouldn't it?

They shouldn't have won. Not their fault but Cowell obviously wanted the new Girls Aloud rather than the new Steve Brookstein/Leon Jackson. I felt sorry for Marcus. The song they chose didn't suit his voice at all.

Well the 'muppets' did alright for themselves back in the day

Who is supposed to be the ugly one? They all look quite pretty to me.

Only heard them briefly on youtube but they seem better then most of the Spice Girls at least.

But they are fantastic - they are a girl band where all of them can sing brilliantly. That's a novelty surely?
And they aren't overtly sexual. To me that's a bonus.

Cant say I agree they can sing

I heard a girl today saying they were a inspiration yuk

They are just fame hungry

The only one with an exceptional voice is Perri - all the others are ok singers but Perri is amazing

I am still sad about the fact stupid Kelly put that annoying Janet through over The amazing Jade

I think theyre lovely at the moment, just 4 young girls who have their dream, i just hope theyre not turned into skinny, fanjo flashing slutty dressers (yes rhianna and girls aloud im talking aboyt you).
Its refreshing to see 4 normal looking girls, normal weight, if dd was young enough id have no problem with her being a fan.

People who make insensitive comments about others weight or looks, especially young girls obviously have problems themselves and just like to make others feel bad, how sad!

well a lot of people didn't agree with you. ITV have released the percentage of votes each act received each week -

Agree with mosschops. I'm no fan of Little Mix, or the X Factor, but all I've seen is four healthy-looking, quite sweet girls living out their hopes and dreams. It would be a shame if (when) they 'sex themselves up' for the sake of a few download sales.

I really hope that neither of my daughters is ever subjected to some of the catty, irresponsible comments made on this thread by women old enough to know better. Spiderpig, your insinuation that in order to be a popstar you have to ascribe to a certain convention of beauty is sad and immature. You are basically saying that ugly people have no right to be pop singers. Pathetic.

I think Jesy has done a massive disservice to young girls everywhere.By repeatedly maintaining she was 10/12 size,when she is about 14/16,many girls 10/12 will be thinking that they should be losing more weight because everyone has been saying she is too big.

YABU!

IMO they are good role models and have done very well! My dd adores them!

There is NO way Jesy is a 14/16! I am a 14/16 and she is definitely smaller than me!

sorry if its been said before but I feel desperately sorry for these girls. I haven't watched the X factor this season ... they are destined for lives of self hatred and lives only worthy of being pulled apart by the press and people who know them vaguely, selling shitty interviews about them.

I have no doubt that one of them will end up with an eating disorder, another will have a failed marriage to a footballer and another will end up in the Priory - the other may escape unscathed

What would I not do in a million years to be famous and have bags of money?

I know that I want far better for my daughters

Jesy possibly is a 10/12. She has quite a round face which can make you look bigger. She is also only ever seen next to girls who look about a size 6 so that is going to make her look big.
I average about a size 10 (got clothes ranging from 8 to 12) and I would no doubt be 'the fat one' if I was in a girl group.
