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

I don't watch it, so I just googled them. They look like 4 normal girls.

The sad thing, as others have said, is that if they become famous, they will start to get unhealthily thin and stop wearing many clothes. As 99.99% of females in pop do.

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 13/12/2011 07:23

I think they're sweet girls and hope they do well.
I think Jesy looks like a cabbage patch doll, which is not an insult from me as I thought they were really cute.

VivaLeBeaver · 13/12/2011 07:58

I'm a size 16 and she;s thinner than me, I'd say she probably is a 12. She looks bigger as the others are so thin.

valiumredhead · 13/12/2011 08:18

Telly makes you look enormous. We have a friend who is an actor and we are always stunned at how round and heavy he looks on the telly when in reality he isn't at all - he's just not super skinny. I think Jesse probably is a size 10 -12 which is tiny, it's just she is next to girls that are a 6 - 8, and put in unflattering clothes, with unflattering camera angles - not a great combination.

TotemPole · 13/12/2011 09:22

They are also quite short. Dermot is only 5' 8"-9" and he looks few inches taller than all of them. So a size 12 will look bigger.

ScarlettIsWalking · 13/12/2011 09:30

Jesy is a size 10?

knockneedandknackered · 13/12/2011 09:34

i agree with spiderpig

AwayinaKayzr · 13/12/2011 09:37

There is no way Jess is a 14/16. I'm a 14/16 and she is quite a bit thinner than me.

I love Little Mix, voted for them every week. They are a great band and they look fantastic.

I don't understand why so many people complain about people like Rihanna wearing hardly any clothes and then still moan about a group who dress nicely.

valiumredhead · 13/12/2011 09:41

Well I don't agree they dress nicely, but they aren't parading around in their knickers.

I think Jesse is the same size as Misha B - no one harped on about her weight - did they?

miSaltireandwine · 13/12/2011 09:43

*disclaimer - I have never watched an episode of X factor.

I googled them, and the jessie that you're all ona bout , well i think the problem with her is the hair,make up and clothes that x factor stylists have put her in. I looked at a picture on google and thought she was about 30. Her hair looks like how my SIL has hers and she's 36. Not the girls fault though

CherylWillBounceBack · 13/12/2011 10:11

Jesy has nothing to worry about in the looks or the size department - she's fine.

It's the desperation that's written all over her face to prove that she is fine with it that's so off putting to me.

akaemmafrost · 13/12/2011 10:15

I wouldn't have known them if they walked up to me in the street and bit me. Just had to google them to have a look at them.

On image alone I would prefer them over the likes of Rhianna and hope that my dc would to.

I simply cannot understand the X Factor thing, don't get it at all, watched about 5 minutes of an episode once.

flatbellyfella · 13/12/2011 11:01

I think jesy is a beautiful girl, each to our own!!
And I hope they become huge on the pop scene.
The whole country voted on the winners,not the
panel .

ScarlettIsWalking · 13/12/2011 11:25

The only reason she can gets away with it now is youth. She has no bone structure to her face and will not age well at all. I think she is all wrong for this band and will bet money she will leave and then they will make it big.

noddyholder · 13/12/2011 11:27

They are all pretty plain looking which is the appeal i think. But they sound and look terrible but most simon cowell stuff is crap apart from Will young

SusanneLinder · 13/12/2011 11:40

Well I like Little Mix! Wasn't a fan till last two weeks, and I think they have done pretty well.

If it all falls flat for them eventually-well hey ho.At least they had a shot at it. And I happen to think Jesy is very pretty, and shows you don't need to look like an anorexic ant to get somewhere.

ThatVikRinA22 · 13/12/2011 13:25

i cant believe that people are seriously debating the size and shape of a young lass in a group...

is this why our daughters are under such pressure to be anorexic? because public opinion means to be a singer you have to be a size 8 with perfect bone structure and age well?

fuck me, i never thought as myself as a feminist but this actually reeks

im actually agape at the comment about her "getting away" with it because she is youthful and having no bone structure to her face yadda yadda yadda...

actually agog.

shocked.

I hate xfactor with a passion, and if you look on the internet, 6 of the 8 acts who performed on the Saturday night final have been signed by Cowell or his associate labels anyway - it mattered not a jot who won.

but i am still shocked at what i just read...

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 13/12/2011 13:51

Interesting point someone made about nobody harping on about Misha Bs weight!
I think some of the comments about bone structure/not aging well are shocking.

On their FB page Xmas Blush there was a comment from a girl, to Jesy, that basically said that she was bigger than a lot of her friends and seeing Jesy made her understand things a bit better. Maybe they don't have any longevity and maybe people don't like them or feel they will be "role models", but I think that one comment like that, is a great thing, if nothing else.

gets off soapbox

cuteboots · 13/12/2011 13:58

I hate x factor with a passion but have to say these girls arent that bad. Im not sure why certain people are having a go at one of them for being slightly bigger than the others. I happen to think shes atttractive and who cares if she doesnt fit the norm of being a skinny mare in a girl group. People can be so nasty and Im shocked by some of the comments on here.

LouMacca · 13/12/2011 14:10

I think the comments about Jess are very mean but I can guarantee within 12 months time she will have lost a shed load of weight and will have had a total image overhaul.

You only have to look at old photos of Girls Aloud when they first started, the transformation is unbelievable. They went from 5 prettyish, normal size girls to skinny, supermodels within a couple of years.

wahwahwah · 13/12/2011 14:10

Did anyone see the programme last night about the finalists on New Faces 1986?

I can't believe how bothered people are by the looks of the girls. They look like normal, heathy girls to me. Fast forward five years and the will look like anorexic stick insects with dodgy hair and skin colour.

spiderpig8 · 13/12/2011 16:14

How many times?It's not her weight it's her face!!

miss piggy

jesy

spiderpig8 · 13/12/2011 16:16

sorry
jesy

wahwahwah · 13/12/2011 16:16

What's wrong with her face? Has she got 2 noses or something?

laptopdancer · 13/12/2011 16:17

I agree she seriously looks like miss piggy
