so this video was impossible to get up but i finally got around sony’s block, however, it’s still ineligible for monetization so if you guys have the means to support my channel it would mean a ton
I feel like little mix stayed consistent with their releases. Like they knew what we wanted and always gave us bop after bop pop songs. I honestly think if there wasn’t a surge in kpop, LM would’ve had a more prominent career in the states.
they weren't promoted properly. Little Mix's label did them dirty... back in the late 90's the Spice Girls were saturated all over Canada and the USA because their label promoted them heavily here (every kid knew them, you couldn't walk into Walmart, Zellers, Target, or small corner stores without seeing their merchandise on display), and they were fun. but Little Mix had nowhere the success and impact in North America like the Spice Girls which is a shame because they are very good group. their 3rd album 'Get Weird' reminded me of Spice World Album which was a fun pop album filled with bops. Black Magic is as Good as Wannabe, and Secrete Love Song is as Beautiful as 2 Become 1.
Ironically, Little Mix songs often show up in iconic kpop moments. Salute, Wings, and Power/Strip were all featured on huge competition shows Girls Planet 999, Produce 101, and Queendom. These performances launched and revived the careers of members in various girl groups (izone, IVE, and AOA among others). Little Mix accapella covers are also a talent indicator among Korean girl groups. Honestly, kpop girl groups have done a better job promoting Little Mix than their own label. For whatever reason, there is a disconnect between American audiences and girl groups. It's an especially tough market for no discernable reason.
the fact that Perrie and Leigh-Anne most likely were in their first trimesters with the last performance makes it so much more impressive. Like they did _that_
Also, you forgot to add the fact that before Get Weird, they had an entire album ready to go but their label decided it wasn't good enough. Because of that, they couldn't do the North American Leg of their Salute Tour, because while they're where supposed to tour there, they had to write a complete new album, which became Get Weird then! A song that made it onto Get Weird from the scrapped album is 'I Love You', Leigh's fav infact. Also, their split from Syco nearly fucked them over again. Apparently, there was an album before Salute that was also scrapped. Just some of the things that happened, which kinda were not good. And the promo for them for the US kinda stopped after Columbia, or people from their management back then told them to flirt with all these important men so their songs would be played on the radio. But they didn't, which was good because the backlash they would have gotten, geez.
honestly i not going to forgive the world for not appreciating little mix when they were around, they had everything to dominate the world, but sadly their own label sabotaged them, even tough i’m going to miss them as a group it’s very relieving that they are leaving as the best of friends literally sisters
LM5 was and still is that girl, everything about it was so good. These girls literally never disappoint. Obviously it’s sad that they’re going on a break but I truly do believe that they’ll be back before we know it and I’m excited to see what all 4 of them do individually
I became a little mix fan mid 2013 and have been a fan ever since, so it would be an understatement to say that being there with them throughout their career was a rollecoaster ride. It is a common sentiment to be frustrated at the mistreatment that they got from their label, especially because I firmly believe with the right push they could have become huge in the US. But instead of focusing on that, I can only be proud of how they always remained so steady in their success. Many other groups and artists blow up with a song or an album, are super popular for a couple years, then drop off completely. Little mix never had that “drop”, they always remained very constant and had a very strong and steady fanbase, which is so impressive. I am actually happier that they went out with such a strong career rather than only having a one-hit wonder situation. Little mix will always have such a special place in my heart since I basically grew up with them (i was 14 when i discovered them, I’m 23 now), and I cannot wait to see what all they will set out to do in their solo careers. Really well done video!!
In terms of charting, the girls definitely had a drop. They weren't as consistent once LM5 era started tbh. Woman Like Me didn't do as well as the label and people thought it would, and Think About Us wasn't a good second single. Confetti did better than LM5, but Sweet Melody only went to No.1 cause of the fans and it was viral. The other singles didn't chart that well. Then, OT3's songs were very hit and miss. Kiss My (Uh Oh) and Heartbreak Anthem were very radio friendly but only got pushed due to the features (and the fact with the first one, only Anne-Marie promoted it, not LM) but yet, still underperformed for the most part. Then after those two songs, the girls started bombing both in terms of TH-cam Views and chartwise, with Love (Sweet Love) peaking at 33 and No peaking at No 35. Both of the MVs barely scraped past 10M views.
Not TH-cam taking 2 days to put this in the algorithm I- Edit - If you can support Jasmine (as clearly YT is being weird, and it's clear she put effort into her content) please do, luv ya girl
I remember they said that their Black Magic performance at The BRITS was the first time people started to take them more seriously as performers and you can tell they knew that they had to get that performance perfect for that very reason. After this performance everything changed for them.
Little Mix is the biggest girl band of all time, breaking many records, selling millions, multiple albums going platinum ALL without breaking into America. Which shows how powerful they were as a group and how they are loved and appreciated globally.
@A Beautiful Country They were able to make millions and break records. They've sold out, and had the fifth and eighth highest gross tour for their fourth and third album alone without entering America.(UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc). America doesn't know them fully, but the industry does and they've made an impact. I think people forget America isn't the only continent, and just like other groups, you can be extremely popular in several and miss a few, but still be successful. They're one of the biggest, and in my (and others') opinion, they only girl groups that can top them are their predecessors like the Spice Girls, TLC, Girls' Generation, any iconic girl groups before them that they've learned from.
@@jessicaa.8471 I get that Little Mix have been enormously successful, but to say they are the BIGGEST girl band of ALL TIME is wrong. They weren't and you have acknowledged that by saying they are behind the Spice Girls, TLC etc.
It is upsetting they never had a solid position in the U.S. (coming from a U.S. stan) because they've explored here since the DNA era if you watched their diaries from that time and their following songs from their album could've been blasted everywhere, but their label failed them! Regardless, they achieved great things and I'm proud of them!
I always listen to the "DNA" tracks and totally notice the difference with Perrie, pre tonsil removal, and then after when she sings those songs post tonsil removal. it's interesting to notice! And it's truly a shame we never got a live version of "Sweet Melody" with all four members.
One thing that's always amazed me about their live performances is them singing and doing all that intense choreography at the same time. Like my asthmatic ass could NEVER
The best to ever do it fyo. The standard. the epitome of what a girl group should be all around. The cohesiveness. The harmonies. The chemistry. The stage presence. The success. The Legacy. There will never be another!
I love them so much and can’t wait to hear Leigh, Perri and Jade’s solo projects. So sad the girls didn’t have a huge U.S. break through. What they accomplished in those 10 years was impressive and they dropped so many bops.
Little mix games, interviews, especially on capital fm (quizface comes to mind), and their 'fun and frolics' as they call it are some of the best videos on the internet. Eat in with little mix is the biggest serotonin boost!
love this video so much!! just a note, the search wasn’t cancelled, it had good ratings but they just didn’t want to do another season (i don’t think it was ever the intention), + they were gonna go on hiatus anyway etc. also it was pretty much ruined by covid, it made the show have a lot of delays and stuff (although it was really good and fun to watch anyway)
You‘re right :) Though, if I remember correctly, they just didn’t do a second season right after because they already had Since September :) I think someone said they may do it again for a future tour - whenever that happens ☺️
little mix paved the way, they are such legends and will always have an impact on the music industry and besides that they are soulmates and they have that sisterhood, the bond, the love that we've never seen before, they are just the IT girls.
What I love about little mix is on all their albums almost every single song is great and never a filler. I remember reading in an interview once they never wanted to make albums just full of skiabble songs and just have the singles be great like other bands and singers have done x Also I think if they'd had a better management team especially during the Glory Days era they could of and should of properly broken America and I personally think they had the ability to become bigger than the Spice Girls. It's such a shame.. imagine them performing on something like the Superbowl I think they would of been amazing 🙂
the grip these girlies had on child me, i owned pyjamas, cds, the trivia game, a bobble head, dolls. I broke my arm the night before their concert and forced my parents to take me. I remember insisting to watch X factor live the night they preformed DNA, staying up late to see the music video of move for the first time. They raised me and I still love them
Personally my favourite sweet melody performance would have to be the one they did in the... pond? on the jonathan ross show. That performance is immaculate! Also some of little mix's best live vocals are on full display in their ballads - secret love song, love me or leave me, good enough, between us (or basically any acoustic/stripped back version of their songs) - all completely stunning and mesmerising!
Man looking back on Little Mix fills me with so much joy! :D What they had is beyond rare. These women - specifically the end trio - became family over these 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see a Leigh-Anne/Jade/Perrie reunion in a few years time when Leigh-Anne & Perrie's kids are a little bit older. Similar to the Spice Girls reunion from a while back :D
I remember going to the dangerous woman tour in la and watching them perform was absolutely amazing! They fucked that shit right up ! they looked so amazing I was fr the only person in my section at the time too! That’s the one thing I wish they did was tour in the US it would of helped their image im so glad Ari let them open!
i looove these girls. for me, they are so much more than just a music group. they inspire me to be intentionally great at whatever i do. their performances were never just thrown together...they were ALWAYS on point with the vocals, dancing, harmonies, stage presence. i guess "everything happens for a reason," like leighanne said when she talked about why they didnt really ever break the american market, but i still think these girls deserved so much more fame and worldwide success. but they will always be my favs.
what i don't get at all with the whole Glory Days era. Why, like why didn't their management try to get at least 10-15 shows for a US leg of the Glory Days tour. Mainly since they had the "Summer Shout Out" and a second leg in England. i'm sure they could have fit some US dates into the tour. I'm still upset that they never got to true tour of their own in the US
I didn't understand that either. Luckily I went to a signing they had in California and I saw them open in the dangerous woman tour ❤️ I hold those moments in my heart forever, even though they were 2 hrs late to the signing.
i remember that dna performance was so exciting because we had been waiting and waiting and waiting for dna live and when that finally happened it was so legendary. i rewatched it ALLL the damn time i even learned the choreo 😭
One thing about little mix is they will do intense choreo and never get out of breathe. They put on excellent performances. My all time fav girl group ❤ Love this video ✨
This video is making me sad they’re on hiatus :( but I have no doubt they’ll come back together eventually. The Black Magic performance video was a big thing for me, I was so impressed when I saw it the first time…I realised how talented they truly were
Outstanding job. Do a part 2 on the acoustics of Little Mix live 🔥🔥. What makes me proud is they have never stopped growing and evolving their vocals, stage presence and womanhood. Just a true super group. 100% agree about the American market part.
The way i cried when they announced their North American tour, and then cried when it got cancelled. I'll never forgive their management for that like why :') Honestly, one of my fave groups ever and can't wait to see what's next for them!
I think another girl group that will follow close after Little Mix but obviously in their own styles are Melladaze and Boys World. Boys World remind me of Winx Club whereas Melladaze are Bratz.
@@ann_m1099 Puede tomar tiempo, pero me gusta la energía que dan esos dos grupos, y sus canciones, particularmente Boys World, giran en torno al empoderamiento femenino.
I used to listen to little mix's music since I was 12 but I only became a fan of them in 2016 after one direction went on hiatus. Ever since then i've been obsessed with them and i'm so sad that I never got to see them live in concert :(. Maybe when they come back from hiatus? hehe! I also think you should do a video where you're reacting to Little Mix The Search because there were so many good singers and they put together some AMAZING bands especially Since September, Melladaze and Ychange.
I feel so lucky to have been a little mix fan since the beginning, partially because of zerrie but so glad I kept following them even after they broke up. I saw them live in 2019 and I'll never forget how they made me feel, it was the first time in my life that I felt lucky to be a woman
I've been a fan of Little Mix since 2017 and it's everyday of realising how much I am going to miss them as a group but also going to support them as solo acts. I wish nothing but health and happiness for them.
I really didn't think I would cry this much watching this video but honestly I cried like a baby. I've watched them grow almost since day one and I grew up on they're music. They literally made me a woman I am today, gave me confidence when I needed and beautiful songs to cry to. I'm crying so much because I never got the chance to see them live because I'm from Poland wich they never came to and just never had an occasion to go abroad for the concert. It just kills me that I'll never see them sing live. Still I'm glad they're taking the time to focus on their personal projects.
Watching you jam to Little Mix performances was sooo fun!! They’re really one of the best groups of all time! DNA is absolutely a comfort album for me too so I’m so glad you mentioned that. Pretty much all of their songs are bops but some favorites off the top of my head are: DNA, Touch, The Cure, Confetti.
I'm late in the game and need to catch up on their music. This was a great way to introduce the group who haven't heard/seen their music and performances. The last girl group I followed hard was Destiny's Child. Seeeeew, many many thanks!
i was wondering why this didn't show up in my subscriptions, must be because of sony's blocking. I will miss Little mix for the time being but will support them during their hiatus. Thank you for making this video, you did a nice job capturing their legacy
Hey Jasmine, love your video but i found a minor mistake… you said that somewhere after the 11 minute mark joan of arc was a single. They had Woman like me & think about us and that was it. Strip became a promotional single for the album and more than words got a video but Joan of arc was not. It was intended to but the label thought it would be to risque. Same about Wasabi. Also, thank you for not erasing Jesy out of the history of Little Mix. You‘re being very respectful with the current situation and that‘s a big plus🙏. Sending nothing but love your way☺️🙏❤️
@@twiggledowntown3564 i agree. But i have to say, i cannot listen to the song anymore because it really hurts my soul that they were friends and the current situation is were it‘s at right now..
about little mix the search, it wasn't cancelled after one season. There were never plans for future seasons.... It was just to find them a group to support them on their own tour. There was no need to make future seasons to make lots os groups! hahah
I watched every episode of the search… it was pretty good. Although, they definitely didn’t make the right choice with the winners…… they ended up creating 6 bands, 2 of which only have al the members left / stayed together. The best band in my opinion was ‘nostalia’ an R&B band which were AMAZING. 2 members left shortly after the search ended and the remaining 3 members didn’t last long after that. The winning band was called since September who did open for the confetti tour but a few days after the tour ended a member left the band, leaving 3 members. The only bands to stay together were a pop band with 5 members called Meladaze, and a hip hop band, similar to N Dubz, called YChange… You might still be able to watch the show on BBC Iplayer if it’s still on there… that’s where I watched it at the time ! Disclaimer; there was a part in the search where Jesy and Leigh kept butting heads, it was very weird at the time. So I personally think they already knew Jesy was leaving at the time… Also, Perrie seemed a sad some of the time and Jesy and Jade were missing from every other episode towards the end… it was a very weird atmosphere… It seemed like if Jesy was there, Jade wasn’t. And if Jade was there, Jesy wasn’t… very strange.
This is one of those "you need me to go on?" type of videos because when it comes to the Little Mix Legacy and why they were the best Girl Group of their generation, for me it's these.. 1) Four lead singers with four distinct voices, which was unheard of at the time proving the old formula of singling out one frontwoman to be obsolete. 2) Some of their album tracks are just as, if not more powerful than their hit singles which would leave room for debate over their single choices. 3) Little Mix wore their influences on their sleeves yet musically still managed to maintain their own identity via versatility. 4) If the Spice Girls preached Girl Power, Little Mix lived it. Their chemistry together on and off stage, in and out of the recording studio was undeniable to the point where we all believed in their professed sisterhood. 5) Under the mentorship of Tulisa Contostavlos, Little Mix were the first group to win the X-Factor at a time mentoring the groups was considered the kiss of death to any judge assigned that category. 6) Little Mix lasted as long as Girls Aloud and surpassed them in terms of record sails. 10 years to be exact. 7) When they won Best British Group at the 2021 Brit Awards, that was seen as a victory for Girlgroups everywhere. From those that came before them or after them since that category was always dominated by Rock & Indie bands. All of this is coming from a man who's interest in Little was generated after their announced hiatus which makes me late for the party. I also look forward to seeing what they're capable of as solo artists which in my opinion would be a full circle moment. Since Jesy was the bomb to drop, now it's a question of who's next?🧨💥💣💥
Their legacy is effort and authenticity. Talent is great but I can’t help but Stan their effort. Every girl grew in every area: vocals, harmony blend and complexity, endurance/choreography and performance/stage presence - they all only got better over time.
I love Little Mix. I think my first experience with them was Amber Riley's DWTS performance but I could be wrong. That was definitely when I fell in love and became obsessed. I will say I'm not the biggest fan of their live performances as a 3-piece. Their songs have always had such amazing balance between the 4 of them that taking out Jesy (whose voice is so unique and rich) makes the songs feeling like they are missing something (because they were written/mixed/recorded/intended for 4 very different voices). When I was watching the last concert I thought about them in comparison to Destiny's Child. DC's last album had more balance but the previous ones were very Beyonce heavy so you could potentially switch out one singer that wasn't Beyonce and the song would sound mostly the same (which is what they did when they became a 3-piece). But Little Mix doesn't do that. They have each member start different songs and each member has an important part of each song. That's why I wish they would've 1. been able to tour with Jesy during the Confetti era before she left (Confetti was such a different sound than their previous albums so it would've been nice to see more of all 4 doing songs from that album) and 2. made a full album of just the 3-piece before they when on hiatus. They have been going strong for 10+ years and have grown so much so they deserve a break but I would be lying if I said I didn't want them to get back together sooner rather than later to put our more music as a group. Your video was great thanks for taking the time to make it!
Can’t believe I am only seeing this video now! 😍 I don’t think Little Mix The Search was supposed to have a second season, it was always meant as a one off
I’m gonna miss them so much )’: I’ve been listening to them since I was 13, but I truly began to stan them around late 2019/early 2020 and absolutely fell in love with all of them, especially as a three piece. One of the most talented girl groups to ever do it.
Honestly, we Mixers have tried so hard to make girls "get more recognition" but it's really not necessary. They are already stars, they are already referents, they have already left a legacy with iconic songs and eras. When they return I am sure they will continue to maintain their style and essence regardless of trends or the call of the record companies to create songs just to sell. They already have us as Mixers who will always be there. (I also hope they work things out with Jesy but that will take time to heal)
Did you know that in their performance for black magic at the Brits they got to direct the performance so they all chose what cameras were used throughout the performance.
I've been a fan of Little Mix since the beginning and have seen them live on multiple occasions but their albums were VERY hit or miss for me. So much filler in amongst gems. I also hate that they never really managed to properly break through in the rest of the world; they were reasonably well-known in Europe, yes, but they weren't exactly selling out massive arenas like some of their peers. I feel like their cultural impact outside of the UK might be slightly overstated. Still - it's been nice to see their growth since the beginning.
i looooooved their first three albums, about half of the fourth album, and couldn't really get into anything after that. it's crazy to watch their old stuff though. perrie's voice before her tonsil removal is soooo different, and the choreo evolved because they worked their asses off to become better performers. hardest working girl group ever imo.
so this video was impossible to get up but i finally got around sony’s block, however, it’s still ineligible for monetization so if you guys have the means to support my channel it would mean a ton
I gasped when I saw that the video was uploaded 2 days ago and only had 5 views 💀
Oh no
Little Mix DID NOT MISS in ANY of those performances. The definition of eating and leaving no crumbs😍
I feel like little mix stayed consistent with their releases. Like they knew what we wanted and always gave us bop after bop pop songs. I honestly think if there wasn’t a surge in kpop, LM would’ve had a more prominent career in the states.
I don’t think that’s the reason honestly, it’s rather that their label never properly promoted them in the states
they weren't promoted properly. Little Mix's label did them dirty...
back in the late 90's the Spice Girls were saturated all over Canada and the USA because their label promoted them heavily here (every kid knew them, you couldn't walk into Walmart, Zellers, Target, or small corner stores without seeing their merchandise on display), and they were fun. but Little Mix had nowhere the success and impact in North America like the Spice Girls which is a shame because they are very good group. their 3rd album 'Get Weird' reminded me of Spice World Album which was a fun pop album filled with bops.

For whatever reason, there is a disconnect between American audiences and girl groups. It's an especially tough market for no discernable reason.
jade thirlwall composes and writes music for twice tho! thats why their recent songs kind of have the same vibes imo
the fact that Perrie and Leigh-Anne most likely were in their first trimesters with the last performance makes it so much more impressive. Like they did _that_
and dancing so vigorously while probs on their second during the confetti mv? SICK!!!
True, it's mindboggling to me how they did it
I don't know if people understand how hard it is to dance and sing at the same time and especially to sing and dance like THAT, it's literally insane.
IN THOSE OUTFITS!?! WITH THEIR HAIR DOWN!! They are goddesses!
Also, you forgot to add the fact that before Get Weird, they had an entire album ready to go but their label decided it wasn't good enough.

I love them so much and can’t wait to hear Leigh, Perri and Jade’s solo projects. So sad the girls didn’t have a huge U.S. break through. What they accomplished in those 10 years was impressive and they dropped so many bops.
Little mix games, interviews, especially on capital fm (quizface comes to mind), and their 'fun and frolics' as they call it are some of the best videos on the internet.
Eat in with little mix is the biggest serotonin boost!
eat in with little mix are my comfort videos
love this video so much!!
just a note, the search wasn’t cancelled, it had good ratings but they just didn’t want to do another season (i don’t think it was ever the intention), + they were gonna go on hiatus anyway etc. also it was pretty much ruined by covid, it made the show have a lot of delays and stuff (although it was really good and fun to watch anyway)
You‘re right :)
Though, if I remember correctly, they just didn’t do a second season right after because they already had Since September :)
I think someone said they may do it again for a future tour - whenever that happens ☺️
little mix paved the way, they are such legends and will always have an impact on the music industry and besides that they are soulmates and they have that sisterhood, the bond, the love that we've never seen before, they are just the IT girls.
What I love about little mix is on all their albums almost every single song is great and never a filler. I remember reading in an interview once they never wanted to make albums just full of skiabble songs and just have the singles be great like other bands and singers have done x
Also I think if they'd had a better management team especially during the Glory Days era they could of and should of properly broken America and I personally think they had the ability to become bigger than the Spice Girls. It's such a shame.. imagine them performing on something like the Superbowl I think they would of been amazing 🙂
the grip these girlies had on child me, i owned pyjamas, cds, the trivia game, a bobble head, dolls. I broke my arm the night before their concert and forced my parents to take me. I remember insisting to watch X factor live the night they preformed DNA, staying up late to see the music video of move for the first time. They raised me and I still love them
It really sucks that they couldn't break through in the US. I'm proud of them regardless.
Personally my favourite sweet melody performance would have to be the one they did in the... pond? on the jonathan ross show. That performance is immaculate!
Also some of little mix's best live vocals are on full display in their ballads - secret love song, love me or leave me, good enough, between us (or basically any acoustic/stripped back version of their songs) - all completely stunning and mesmerising!
The most successful girl group ever. Truly a force. The US missed out on one of the biggest acts of all time, they are iconic truly. I’m a US mixer.
You obsessing over Jade in performances is everything, I am the exact same and I love seeing someone so appreciative of them🥰
Man looking back on Little Mix fills me with so much joy! :D
What they had is beyond rare. These women - specifically the end trio - became family over these 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see a Leigh-Anne/Jade/Perrie reunion in a few years time when Leigh-Anne & Perrie's kids are a little bit older. Similar to the Spice Girls reunion from a while back :D
Watching their performances is so interesting. They actually started off really strong.
I remember going to the dangerous woman tour in la and watching them perform was absolutely amazing! They fucked that shit right up ! they looked so amazing I was fr the only person in my section at the time too! That’s the one thing I wish they did was tour in the US it would of helped their image im so glad Ari let them open!
22:34 leigh-annes outfit almost made me cry WHY and HOW is it so pretty omg
THIS TOOK 2 DAYS FOR TH-cam TO SHOW ME THIS?!
it was blocked for 2 days by sony but i appealed and got it back to public!
@@jasminezade oh sony, but glad you were able to get it back up
I'm so sad LM are splitting up but I can't wait to hear their solo stuff at the same time 😍
Just a quick note: lm5 singles did not include joan of arc but rather wlm & think about us (as you said) and also more than words and strip
i looove these girls. for me, they are so much more than just a music group. they inspire me to be intentionally great at whatever i do. their performances were never just thrown together...they were ALWAYS on point with the vocals, dancing, harmonies, stage presence. i guess "everything happens for a reason," like leighanne said when she talked about why they didnt really ever break the american market, but i still think these girls deserved so much more fame and worldwide success. but they will always be my favs.
My girls, I'm gonna miss them so much but also so excited for 3 new albums and all of that😍 thanks for making this video, queen❤️
Little mix is a safe place,you will be bored from other artists but LM.You will always come back to LM and find a piece from yourself.
30:27 jesus they are so- i can't
SO ATTRACTIVE
I be gay panicking all the time
Omg you skipped SOTME at Brits! That was a gem and they did it while jet-lagged from the US in the middle of the Dangerous Woman Tour.
what i don't get at all with the whole Glory Days era. Why, like why didn't their management try to get at least 10-15 shows for a US leg of the Glory Days tour. Mainly since they had the "Summer Shout Out" and a second leg in England. i'm sure they could have fit some US dates into the tour. I'm still upset that they never got to true tour of their own in the US
I didn't understand that either. Luckily I went to a signing they had in California and I saw them open in the dangerous woman tour ❤️ I hold those moments in my heart forever, even though they were 2 hrs late to the signing.
They tried, but their US label sucks. They can't even promote them which is why they never even got to the US that much.
i remember that dna performance was so exciting because we had been waiting and waiting and waiting for dna live and when that finally happened it was so legendary. i rewatched it ALLL the damn time i even learned the choreo 😭
One thing about little mix is they will do intense choreo and never get out of breathe. They put on excellent performances.
My all time fav girl group ❤
Love this video ✨
I regularly watch their think about us Brit’s are coming performance
It seems like Leigh’s microphone was way too low during the DNA performance! Leigh is my favourite, I can’t wait for her solo music
man i don’t even listen to little mix but i was absolutely shaking ass to those live performances
This video is making me sad they’re on hiatus :( but I have no doubt they’ll come back together eventually. The Black Magic performance video was a big thing for me, I was so impressed when I saw it the first time…I realised how talented they truly were
Great video. One minor thing @12:30 Their 1st release under RCA was Bounce Back in 2019.
those live performances are insane!!
Outstanding job.
Do a part 2 on the acoustics of Little Mix live 🔥🔥.
What makes me proud is they have never stopped growing and evolving their vocals, stage presence and womanhood.
Just a true super group. 100% agree about the American market part.
Thank you for making this video. I wish so bad they made it big here in the US. I can't wait to see what they do as solo artist.
The way i cried when they announced their North American tour, and then cried when it got cancelled. I'll never forgive their management for that like why :') Honestly, one of my fave groups ever and can't wait to see what's next for them!
My favorite SM performance has to be the one with the water and black leather on Jonathan Ross
That's my fav too lol
the jonathan ross show and brits 2019 are definitely their best performances
I think another girl group that will follow close after Little Mix but obviously in their own styles are Melladaze and Boys World. Boys World remind me of Winx Club whereas Melladaze are Bratz.
Yo siento que van a pasar años para que exista un giro group que pueda alcanzar lo que hizo little mix
@@ann_m1099 Puede tomar tiempo, pero me gusta la energía que dan esos dos grupos, y sus canciones, particularmente Boys World, giran en torno al empoderamiento femenino.
Thats cool! I didn't even realize that.
Thats what I thought when I discovered BOYS World, I mean theyre killing it with harmonies, DANCES (THEYRE SO TALENTED) and writing songs
YESSS dna is my comfort album too and the fact that it was their debut *chefs kiss*
14:30 I was not expecting that but I am SO here for it
I used to listen to little mix's music since I was 12 but I only became a fan of them in 2016 after one direction went on hiatus. Ever since then i've been obsessed with them and i'm so sad that I never got to see them live in concert :(. Maybe when they come back from hiatus? hehe!
I also think you should do a video where you're reacting to Little Mix The Search because there were so many good singers and they put together some AMAZING bands especially Since September, Melladaze and Ychange.
I feel so lucky to have been a little mix fan since the beginning, partially because of zerrie but so glad I kept following them even after they broke up. I saw them live in 2019 and I'll never forget how they made me feel, it was the first time in my life that I felt lucky to be a woman
I've been a fan of Little Mix since 2017 and it's everyday of realising how much I am going to miss them as a group but also going to support them as solo acts. I wish nothing but health and happiness for them.
They are so underrated but so talented musically. Love them.
I really didn't think I would cry this much watching this video but honestly I cried like a baby.
I've watched them grow almost since day one and I grew up on they're music. They literally made me a woman I am today, gave me confidence when I needed and beautiful songs to cry to. I'm crying so much because I never got the chance to see them live because I'm from Poland wich they never came to and just never had an occasion to go abroad for the concert. It just kills me that I'll never see them sing live. Still I'm glad they're taking the time to focus on their personal projects.
Watching you jam to Little Mix performances was sooo fun!!
They’re really one of the best groups of all time!
DNA is absolutely a comfort album for me too so I’m so glad you mentioned that.
Pretty much all of their songs are bops but some favorites off the top of my head are: DNA, Touch, The Cure, Confetti.
I was also screaming with her lmao😂
I can’t wait for them to release their solo stuff. I feel like Jade might put something out in the autumn x
omg why am I just seeing this on my feed? I’m 2 days late 😭
I"m glad I found someone who could also watch Little Mix performances all day just like me haha Yaas giiirrl !
I'm late in the game and need to catch up on their music. This was a great way to introduce the group who haven't heard/seen their music and performances. The last girl group I followed hard was Destiny's Child. Seeeeew, many many thanks!
Yessssssssss! I love them so much and baybee…They did kill every performance 😭😭😭
thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this video, you're a gem!
Watching these performances (for the first time) in one video, little mix left no crumbs! 👍
i'm fangirling with you! this hiatus is killing me.
i was wondering why this didn't show up in my subscriptions, must be because of sony's blocking. I will miss Little mix for the time being but will support them during their hiatus. Thank you for making this video, you did a nice job capturing their legacy
YESS happy we can finally watch this im so excitedddd
Hey Jasmine, love your video but i found a minor mistake… you said that somewhere after the 11 minute mark joan of arc was a single. They had Woman like me & think about us and that was it. Strip became a promotional single for the album and more than words got a video but Joan of arc was not. It was intended to but the label thought it would be to risque. Same about Wasabi.
Also, thank you for not erasing Jesy out of the history of Little Mix. You‘re being very respectful with the current situation and that‘s a big plus🙏. Sending nothing but love your way☺️🙏❤️
The cure should've been a promotional single.
@@twiggledowntown3564 i agree. But i have to say, i cannot listen to the song anymore because it really hurts my soul that they were friends and the current situation is were it‘s at right now..
@@twiggledowntown3564 wasabi should’ve been a single aswell
about little mix the search, it wasn't cancelled after one season. There were never plans for future seasons.... It was just to find them a group to support them on their own tour. There was no need to make future seasons to make lots os groups! hahah
I watched every episode of the search… it was pretty good. Although, they definitely didn’t make the right choice with the winners…… they ended up creating 6 bands, 2 of which only have al the members left / stayed together.
The best band in my opinion was ‘nostalia’ an R&B band which were AMAZING. 2 members left shortly after the search ended and the remaining 3 members didn’t last long after that.
The winning band was called since September who did open for the confetti tour but a few days after the tour ended a member left the band, leaving 3 members.
The only bands to stay together were a pop band with 5 members called Meladaze, and a hip hop band, similar to N Dubz, called YChange…
You might still be able to watch the show on BBC Iplayer if it’s still on there… that’s where I watched it at the time !
Disclaimer; there was a part in the search where Jesy and Leigh kept butting heads, it was very weird at the time. So I personally think they already knew Jesy was leaving at the time…
Also, Perrie seemed a sad some of the time and Jesy and Jade were missing from every other episode towards the end… it was a very weird atmosphere…
It seemed like if Jesy was there, Jade wasn’t. And if Jade was there, Jesy wasn’t… very strange.
I’m gonna miss LM so much! I feels insane that the last big girl group is now disbanded.
This is one of those "you need me to go on?" type of videos because when it comes to the Little Mix Legacy and why they were the best Girl Group of their generation, for me it's these..
1) Four lead singers with four distinct voices, which was unheard of at the time proving the old formula of singling out one frontwoman to be obsolete.
2) Some of their album tracks are just as, if not more powerful than their hit singles which would leave room for debate over their single choices.
3) Little Mix wore their influences on their sleeves yet musically still managed to maintain their own identity via versatility.
4) If the Spice Girls preached Girl Power, Little Mix lived it. Their chemistry together on and off stage, in and out of the recording studio was undeniable to the point where we all believed in their professed sisterhood.
5) Under the mentorship of Tulisa Contostavlos, Little Mix were the first group to win the X-Factor at a time mentoring the groups was considered the kiss of death to any judge assigned that category.
6) Little Mix lasted as long as Girls Aloud and surpassed them in terms of record sails. 10 years to be exact.
7) When they won Best British Group at the 2021 Brit Awards, that was seen as a victory for Girlgroups everywhere. From those that came before them or after them since that category was always dominated by Rock & Indie bands.
All of this is coming from a man who's interest in Little was generated after their announced hiatus which makes me late for the party. I also look forward to seeing what they're capable of as solo artists which in my opinion would be a full circle moment. Since Jesy was the bomb to drop, now it's a question of who's next?🧨💥💣💥
Their legacy is effort and authenticity.
Talent is great but I can’t help but Stan their effort. Every girl grew in every area: vocals, harmony blend and complexity, endurance/choreography and performance/stage presence - they all only got better over time.
I miss them already 😭
Little Mix forever ❤
I love Little Mix. I think my first experience with them was Amber Riley's DWTS performance but I could be wrong. That was definitely when I fell in love and became obsessed.
I will say I'm not the biggest fan of their live performances as a 3-piece. Their songs have always had such amazing balance between the 4 of them that taking out Jesy (whose voice is so unique and rich) makes the songs feeling like they are missing something (because they were written/mixed/recorded/intended for 4 very different voices).
When I was watching the last concert I thought about them in comparison to Destiny's Child. DC's last album had more balance but the previous ones were very Beyonce heavy so you could potentially switch out one singer that wasn't Beyonce and the song would sound mostly the same (which is what they did when they became a 3-piece). But Little Mix doesn't do that.
They have each member start different songs and each member has an important part of each song. That's why I wish they would've 1. been able to tour with Jesy during the Confetti era before she left (Confetti was such a different sound than their previous albums so it would've been nice to see more of all 4 doing songs from that album) and 2. made a full album of just the 3-piece before they when on hiatus.
They have been going strong for 10+ years and have grown so much so they deserve a break but I would be lying if I said I didn't want them to get back together sooner rather than later to put our more music as a group. Your video was great thanks for taking the time to make it!
Yesss I was waiting for this ever since I got the notification two days ago
Can’t believe I am only seeing this video now! 😍 I don’t think Little Mix The Search was supposed to have a second season, it was always meant as a one off
I’m gonna miss them so much )’: I’ve been listening to them since I was 13, but I truly began to stan them around late 2019/early 2020 and absolutely fell in love with all of them, especially as a three piece. One of the most talented girl groups to ever do it.
I love them so much 😭❤️ They're the best artists for me 😭❤️
Honestly, we Mixers have tried so hard to make girls "get more recognition" but it's really not necessary. They are already stars, they are already referents, they have already left a legacy with iconic songs and eras. When they return I am sure they will continue to maintain their style and essence regardless of trends or the call of the record companies to create songs just to sell. They already have us as Mixers who will always be there. (I also hope they work things out with Jesy but that will take time to heal)
this is so random but im so obsessed with your smile
Did you know that in their performance for black magic at the Brits they got to direct the performance so they all chose what cameras were used throughout the performance.
I've been a fan of Little Mix since the beginning and have seen them live on multiple occasions but their albums were VERY hit or miss for me. So much filler in amongst gems. I also hate that they never really managed to properly break through in the rest of the world; they were reasonably well-known in Europe, yes, but they weren't exactly selling out massive arenas like some of their peers. I feel like their cultural impact outside of the UK might be slightly overstated. Still - it's been nice to see their growth since the beginning.
This really made me realise how much of an impact they had on my childhood and teen hood. Such an entertaining video
Fun fact about the black magic Brit award performance. Brits came out and said it was the best of the decade. Well done little mix
i looooooved their first three albums, about half of the fourth album, and couldn't really get into anything after that. it's crazy to watch their old stuff though. perrie's voice before her tonsil removal is soooo different, and the choreo evolved because they worked their asses off to become better performers. hardest working girl group ever imo.
i also love how many different versions of their singles they would perform. an insane level of talent and ways of thinking about their own music.
Ahhh I kept searching for one of these big videos of them, and finally I get this! Needed this!!!!!
This video gave me chills.
yayyy new jasmine video!! 💘💘
Thankyou for making this 🥺😭❤️
