#vermilious

i feel like people are to really turn this into blockers/ignorers being assholes but like sometimes people just wanna be left alone and you gotta respect that too. if someone wants to be alone you gotta leave ‘em alone. don’t track people down cause they don’t wanna talk. i’ve had people do that to me and it’s really creepy and kinda violating

I love reading how everyone got into little mix <3 I did when they performed with taylor, whom I’ve adored since my teens. that drove me to search for a better quality vid of them performing black magic (the james corden one :) and then their x-factor journey where I completely fell in love

I was a huge fan of the voice back then, and really liked that, even though they had epic, huge performances sometimes, they weren’t afraid of the quiet moments; simple ballads and acapella ones too. ones that create an intimacy and vulnerability that could so beautifully shine a light to incredible talent, and be stand-out moments

I think there’s a general misconception that mainstream only contains powerhouse vocals and big loud and long notes. that that and showy productions are the sure way to catch people’s attention and win it all. I’m not saying it isn’t effective at times, but it’s a formula producers try to copy and paste onto different people which, as it happens with artistry, doesn’t always work, at least without adjustments.

in this case they’d mashed that up with trying to make it bubbly, over the top colorful, and cheesy af. and, as you said, it’s so over-reaching to a demographic that’s not the only thing out there, and surely not the only one you need to win such a thing.

yeah i'm really worried they're, especially perrie, going to get permanent vocal chord damage. i'm surprised we got Glory Days as soon as we did - i thought it was going to come like 6 months to a year later. they deserve a bigger album release date gap

yes, her vocals have been pretty rough lately. and it’s a testament to the fandom here that the complaints about it haven’t been directed at her, or disappointed at their performance, but at management for pushing them endlessly

same, we hadn’t even gotten the get weird tour dvd, that’s the launch we were waiting for! the album came too soon with little purpose. looking back I truly believe the set-up to get weird was the best done of all.

agreed. you can tell it's really needed just by listening to Perrie's voice at the beginning of Power alone

yes, the strain is clear in their voices and it’s not only bad for now but could be dangerous for later too

i've watched that like 3 times haha / that's probably like 2 and a half weeks of my life. and same the aesthetic pushed on them bugged me and the themes really controlled who they were

same! I watch it every once in a while cause I get nostalgic, or feel like re-watching a specific performance and end up going through the whole thing lol

thank you!

uhh this is so tough cause that album is practially flawless

I’d have to go with move, because it’s the song that got me obssessed with the girls, and it never fails to make me happy. also that music video is still epic and so aesthetically pleasing
