In my opinion there’s several issues wrong here. 1. She left little mix, but is still doing the little mix formula. Add more choreo to the live performance and lip sync the chorus. But little mix lip synced the chorus because it’s insane to correctly nail 4 part harmony and dancing. 2. The pauses. Most of the time the songs that do this are huge songs everybody knows so they can be hyped up. The 12 people in the audience that know every word to this isn’t enough. 3. The choreography is so weird to me. Wasn’t Jesy a dancer before she became a singer? Her and Jade were always the best dancers imo, shouldn’t she have realized this is terrible choreography? 4. And for the tongue thing, she’s always done that, just not as much. She was always the hype girl of little mix. 5. And finally, I loved how she said “this is the music I’ve always wanted to make” and yet she sampled songs, had a feature, and we won’t discuss the other things. This whole thing is weird to me
WHY NOT THO ? she didnt say a word to the lm formula ! her dance was ok ! y'all really gon bach the music she loves ? this is a pure bop its seems like people have a weird vendetta against her thats weird
for no. 3, i agree & disagree. during their early days i would say yes, jade and her was the best dancers cause she got basic dance skills from being a dancer. but after awhile her dance seems off, she doesnt seem to take dancing serious any longer (use shortcuts, forget moves, out of beat etc). even perrie seems to be better at dancing and memorizing the moves now compared to jesy tbh
The Jesy stans trying to defend the performance. Let’s be honest here - it was underwhelming to say the least. She hardly sang live, the song was broke down far far too much. The issue is LM had such high high standards when performing live so she’s set the bar SO high. So far she’s not rising to that bar! That’s not bullying as her stans again like to point out - not choosing to sing live, this song etc is all her choices.
Also her dancing wasn't great either and nowhere near on the same league as their little mix routines. The banging her shoulder forward was cringe and embarrassing and painful to watch. Also she isn't the best singer from LM and has that annoying baby voice which can grate so I'm afraid she really was exposed here and don't get me started on the outfit.
I think she’s still in group mode. It’s still follows the pattern that Little Mix did when performing. But now, she has to do everything, no breaking the performance up into parts and that’s it’s were she’s lacking. Whoever is managing her, need to rework and tell her to act like an emerging singer. Maybe a ballad to have her focus only on her vocals to highlight her voice.
The audience was certain not “feeling it”. If you listen closely when she says “jingle ball are yall ready” someone screams “no….no were not.”. Whole performance the crowd was laughing and heckling her 😬.
I feel that Jesy didn't really think it out before leaving the group. I think she saw her rise in popularity after her documentary and thought she could ride it solo. (I understand her reasoning for leaving just not sure I fully buy it). I don't think she relises how much the girls helped her out and that going from being part of a group to a solo artist is a huge change. I'm also still concerned about her mental health.
I agree with everything you said. I don’t think the girls helped her as they all helped each other as a group to get to that point. However I agree I think the decision felt rushed even if it took a long time to decide
I don't think her leaving was even 100% her choice either, especially given what the other girls have since said about it. They clearly wanted her out as well.
I think she needs more accoustic songs and ballads to showcase her VOICE. Because we know she has it. The snippets she's posted on insta sound VERY promising so I still have faith she'll deliver on the album and on future live performances.
jesy seems confused to me. she left little mix for mental health reasons, but is now pursuing a solo career when it sounded like being away from the spotlight was best for her. and she’s very publicly talked about struggling to love herself and her looks, and she’s talked about social media being bad for her, and then she engages in the “ig baddie” aesthetic irl and online. not sure her career goals or musical goals are super defined and her performances and songs seem like they’re coming from a jumbled and confused place.
My daughter reckons all the breaks was to fill time especially only having one song. I reckon it was to allow us time to compose ourselves after laughing so much . She was there with her friends and said people laughed, stood still, booed and even turned their phones off and even shouted no when she asked if they were with her.
“I don’t understand someone who would want a bad boy” AMEN! You are not getting old. Jesy is just a weird, lost and confused person who needs to find herself. She’s actually really aggressive and unpredictable.
I totally agree with you Georgina that the performance felt like a BRIT Awards or VMAs style performance and Jingle Bell Ball was not the right place or the right time. Also the pauses in between killed the momentum and flow of the performance. Jesy can perform but she has not won me over yet. Happy holidays from Canada🎄
Exactly. I've listened to all four girls individually and always felt Jesy was the weakest singer and this showed that, it probably wasn't as noticeable in LM because they work out what line of each song suits them best and as for her leaving to focus on her mental health, well I knew she'd be trying to forge a solo career so that wasn't a shock to me but her output is shocking and the choreography and dancing was abysmal. What a disaster from copying the original P Diddy video to dissing the other girls and this did nothing to help, the attitude, the constant sticking her tongue out and the outfit. So embarrassing.
I disagree, I think her voice is one of the best, if not the best of the group, for me it's her and perry the best voices in LM, being Lee-Ann ( my favorite 😍) the weakest member in vocal terms. She's definitely capable of carrying a career alone, maybe she's not going to be the most famous out of the 4 cause of song style choices and the same goes to perry unless she manage to do the same as Adele. Today's world rap, hip-pop, pop are the mainstreams and everything else that dodges that, normally has a lot less vision and recognition. Therefore I think jade is going to be the New Camila cabelo of LM . Not bcs she has the best voice or bcs she is the best out of the 4, but she's very likeable, she has a good voice, very poppy, she fits into the main stream style, I don't know her charisma is very contagious as well so there for I think she will be the most successful out of the 4 if she starts a solo career . Lee Ann it's in my opinion the one who's either going to drop out her music career ( unless the group gets back together) and start on something new or focus on her clothes brand.
I feel she came out a little mix expecting something of the same vibe and got rudely awakened... Little mix was a force those four girls together were a force not to be reckoned with! And it's sad that even the three girls could go out there and slay it but Jesy can't do it and her own... This girl just needs to do actual music and accept the fact that this sound isn't going to be the way to do it
For the rap part she should've cut it out and added a dance break section or like you said had someone replace Nicki to do the rap. It was also embarassing to see her keep shouting to the audience (she did it 3 or 4 times in the performance and it felt stale and awkward, especially since the crowd were clearly not into the performance).
I applaud her for having the courage to still perform though. Takes a lot to get on a stage that huge and perform. It also so sad, that her first debut single Has potentially caused her downfall as a solo artist. Honestly people were excited when we found out that Nicki Minaj was featured on a track it would have done well in the US Market. But the message of the song is weird and on top of that it brought all the drama between her and the group. Hopefully, her next album can be a way to wipe the slate clean. But sometimes your 1st single or track of your album sets the tone for the rest of it. Hopefully we can get an authentic Jesy on the new album. See can continue R&B, Pop, and whatever. But she needed to be a little more conscious about her content. She’s an amazing Vocalist but this whole moment with Boyz has almost destroyed her name, that’s she just created for herself. I hope for the best.
The “bad Boyz” message is definitely controversial. She came out of Little Mix which is all about empowerment and then made a song like this…I get that one can’t sing about empowerment only but I feel like we evolved as women from the I need a bad boy trope
Is it just me or she doesn’t have any stage performance by herself? Like even with the dancers, it just felt like the stage was swallowing her. Also yeah, kinda insane how she’s been lipsyncing so much when she CAN sing live, we know for a fact she can
I agree with the commentary. I don’t know what people want. If you’re not feeling the song/performance are you supposed to stay silent and not express how you feel just because it’s Jesy? It’s not hating, it’s commenting. If you decide to come out hard, sticking your tongue out, doing aggressive choreo, lip syncing and singing about bad BoyZ people will have opinion. It may not be favourable. MaYbe her next one will be better and if ppl love it the fans will love people saying good things about it. Goes both ways.
I’d love to support her solo pursuit but it’s just been so underwhelming so far. With the lip syncing of her debut performance and then this weird style of performance. It’s odd cos from the costuming, it’s like she’s trying to seperate herself from her LM days. However, the start of this performance, with the build up and breaking down, like you said, is very Brit awards. It reminded me of Black Magic & Shout Out To My Ex at the brits. Both had similar cuts and breakdowns. And then some of choreo was not too dissimilar to Salute choreo. It’s odd cos in parts, she’s clearly trying to break free from the Little Mix memories but in other parts, she’s relying on things already done previously… it’s a shame her whole debut has been tarnished, but it’s almost entirely self destructive at the moment in my opinion
I'm not going to try to say anything people haven't already said but THANK YOU for mentioning the point of the song. I'd been struggling with finding the words and I now know why I dislike the song so much. I feel like no one sings about this stuff anymore. It was very much MTV in the early 00's which is when I grew up. I don't think people really sing about wanting 'bad boys' anymore. Who has the time? They sing about f-boys and how much we don't want them hahaha so yeah her first song being like THIS was SUCH a disappointment.
lavabettabettainnaswee✨ LMAO but in all seriousness, ive been rockin with jesy and little mix literally since I was 11-12. I’m 20 now, and man I wanna like jesy but this black fishing stuff and her literally not even getting WHY she’s even being accused is alarming to me and it gives me icky vibes. Also she said that little mix’s music wasn’t her thing at all really, but this record sounds like it could definitely have been a LM song.. she’s doing way too damn much, idk man. That’s my take on it. It’s a shame cause she has so much potential and it’s hard seeing her trying to put on a good performance without the girls. It’s very new to her, she’s been performing next to three other girls for 9-10 years but with everything going on with her I just can’t vibe with her anymore.
I feel you I mean, I was expecting something as unique as “Look At Me” which was Geri’s first solo effort off the spice girls and it was so memorable! this song is just like another radio song with nothing new!
I think the breaks between the lines only work when you got a hit song thats already known like LM did with Power and Black Magic, but the song is too new for that imo...
9:40 I agree! Back when little mix preformed Woman Like Me at the Brit’s, they replaced Nicki with Ms. Banks. I completely understand what your saying. But all this is her 1 or 2nd “major” performance. So she and her team probably didn’t have anything organized.
From the class of little mix to THIS! I'm absolutely gob smacked how much of a flop this solo career has taken The other girls must be in tears laughing at this
I do want to hear her do acoustic. I feel this song is more about dancing as pose to singing. I agree I want to hear what’s next. Her next songs need to just show off her vocals to really cement her way.
I agree. This performance wasn't the best. The breaks and hyping up the crowd was a little too much. I just wanted Jesy to actually sing cause we all know she can
A lot of people said that this performance was lip synced. Smh 🤦🏽♀️ we go to concerts to hear people sing live using their voice in person if I wanted to hear the audio tape I would’ve just listened to it on Apple Music! Honest vocal coach loved the intro and how professional and respectful you are ❤️
So disappointed in Jesy. She needs to prioritise singing over dancing. Her lip syncing is so bad too. The tongue thing has been done, Miley Cyrus kicked the ass out of that years ago. I have everything crossed for her next single
The buzz has already disappeared for Jesy, this performance was ridiculous, there isn’t much hope for her next performance and she isn’t going to publicly apologise for blackfishing or other scandals she got in.
Jesy wanted to target the US market with this sound and have a hip hop edgy feel. I sort of get why she wants to debut with a boppy type song but the song just average, so it's just a thing she has to get through this song, do some performances then go again into the next song. It's a bit harsh to expect a person who has choreography to do a whole song live when many barely move and lip sync. She chose the right format in terms of sing verses and give a show for the chorus & sing behind the backing track. Jesy definitely can perform and the stage presence is at a high level. Less of the tongue and the trying to seem tough vibe is what she needs to ditch. I think on performance type songs the entertainment value come slightly above all out vocals. On mids and ballads it's vocals, vocals, vocals and that's what I'll expect during this solo stint. I see her potential, just some things to iron out. I didn't mind the production value. It gave a headline act vibe, just could have been slightly more cohesive but these things will progress.
I think that this song is just not the right song to sing live, I can’t wait to see other songs from her, because she is talented and really good vocalist!
I really wanted to support her after leaving little mix, the problem is that she quite literally doesn’t allow me to. I mean, no hate towards her but the black-fishing issue, the uncomfortable situation (rather sad to be honest) that happed with Leigh, and now this (this is not bad though, just not my cup of tea). The good thing is that she seems confident so at least that improved apparently.
Loved this reaction ❤️ Especially how you were trying so hard not to be shady towards Jesy after everything she's done. That actually requires an extremely high level of tolerance. Also, I think the 'Ooh, bad, bad boy' belts were live since she sounded a bit tired because she was dancing at the same time but I'm not very sure.
The thing is that Little Mix lipsync a lot more than we actually think they do. The reason most people don’t realize is that their sound levels are usually on point in order to cover it up, and don’t sound any different from their live vocals. Jesy was always the worst at hiding the fact she was lipsyncing, and combined with really bad mixing, this just came off as SUPER awkward
Little Mix always lip sync their choruses. (I mean who wouldn’t with LM choreography) However they always sang their verses live. Even Jesy. So I don’t understand why she can’t sing anymore.
Little Mix is most likely to lipsynch the chorus of their uptempo songs because their choruses are always sung in unison, but their solo lines and ad libs are mostly live.
Yea, the problem is that the fanbase would cry whenever you pointed out that they were not singing live and then they would go on rants about how "they're queens that are so talented and work so hard to put on amazing shows and blah blah blah" . . .cool. They're still not singing live. And it was not always just for the chorus either. Iove Sweet Melody but there are so many performances of that song where every single note is exactly the same and it's because they were performing a lipped version. It's okay for the fans to admit it.
The parts she was singing live were pretty good so I don't know why she couldn't do the whole thing, I would've been happy if she even sang with herself with her backing track
Also I love when you talk even about the dance or things are out your sphere, you know what I mean? I love your opinion so keep saying your thoughts!! Thank you
The jessy we knew no longer exists when she was with little mix we could see she could sing live her solo career had a disastrous start i hope that at least for the next songs she will sing it live because how the audience was silent unfortunately explains everything: / I hope that at least for the next songs that she will pull herself together to make better songs and sing live
I actually thinks this is what she meant in not able to keep up with the girls and being comfortable and not anxious.. LM is known for their fancy vocals and choreo and hectic schedule and all.. But when Jesy go solo now she finally do things at her own pace sing songs she like and how she like it how she wanna act on stage how the choreo as long as shes comfortable ( but we all see it is as not like the standard when she was in LM but perhaps these loose things are not putting pressure on her and good for her mental health )
Rita Ora had her new song recently! I’d love you to react to Rita more often especially some of her live performances as they really showcase her incredible vocals!!
My main problem is I can't understand the words she's saying. Both her diction and the words themselves. I know I'm old (late thirties) but I feel like she is aiming this at a really specific age group or subculture that I'm not a part of. Oh and the baby Britney voice... bleurgh. All I like here is the P. Diddy nostalgia.
I totally thought her first solo song would be something kind of like Jessie Reyes “Figures” or something like that. I think Jesy is so much more talented than this 💕
Being a little mix fan and love Jesys voice. I simple am disappointed at her whole solo career. It’s not special as of yet! But her love performances we’ve had so far are simply just s*** she hasn’t really established herself yet and didn’t really take much time to do that. 2 months after leaving little mix she’s in the studio working on solo music. There’s no originality on who she is yet. Like I said it’s disappointing. Let’s hope the 2nd single is something that’s gonna showcase her as a solo artist.
Being completely honest... The tongue thing has been a regular thing from Jesy since a lot of years, and the lypsyncing too. As with the girls, they always lypsinc at their chorus. But i think because now all the eyes are on her this things are a lot more obvious and noticeable
jesy was always the “hype man” of little mix and they did lip their choruses but their choreo AND vocals were much more involved so i feel like it’s more reasonable to do so. her hyping her up to stop the performance every 10 seconds especially when this is the only song she’s performance just doesn’t work imo
Last comment I swear, I think the breaks in the song are to fill the entire time slot. I really like Jesy voice but this song, I’m not saying it’s not her genre, but ugh I just wish she sings live more 😭
What’s the point of getting out of a group that are doing amazing, just because of what people say - to then start a solo career. You’re literally gone get the same hate is never going to go away.
I don’t know if u noticed but when Jesy said ‘Jingle Bell Ball are you ready?’, someone said ‘No we’re not!’ lmao
And before she starts singing somebody shouts “trash” lmao
@@anden4518 at which part?
@@anden4518 That's "Yas Bitch"
Why are you in every video with her spreading hate? Are you mental?
In my opinion there’s several issues wrong here.
1. She left little mix, but is still doing the little mix formula. Add more choreo to the live performance and lip sync the chorus. But little mix lip synced the chorus because it’s insane to correctly nail 4 part harmony and dancing.

She was the choreographer for little mix aka she made those break downs ….

Now you've also turned into the honest choreo coach and I'm all here for it ngl
i really think her voice isn't enough to be a solo artist. The girls always covered her bad moments in the group but now everything is free & it shows

I would just like to point out the gorgeous electric guitar. My favorite part of this whole performance.
For the rap part she should've cut it out and added a dance break section or like you said had someone replace Nicki to do the rap.

LMAO but in all seriousness, ive been rockin with jesy and little mix literally since I was 11-12. I’m 20 now, and man I wanna like jesy but this black fishing stuff and her literally not even getting WHY she’s even being accused is alarming to me and it gives me icky vibes. Also she said that little mix’s music wasn’t her thing at all really, but this record sounds like it could definitely have been a LM song.. she’s doing way too damn much, idk man. That’s my take on it. It’s a shame cause she has so much potential and it’s hard seeing her trying to put on a good performance without the girls. It’s very new to her, she’s been performing next to three other girls for 9-10 years but with everything going on with her I just can’t vibe with her anymore.
I agree with everything you say…I want to support her too but I’m just not feeling this. Cool bandit 😂
it's sad that she leaves LM because of the comparison, but she didn't think that she'll always be compared much much more specially now
I feel you I mean, I was expecting something as unique as “Look At Me” which was Geri’s first solo effort off the spice girls and it was so memorable! this song is just like another radio song with nothing new!
This performance was pure cringe for me. Jesy comes off so inauthentic and her rough attitude seems really forced. Thoroughly unimpressed.
“Not the loudest scream” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the shade
« Not the loudest scream I’ve heard » I love you 😂😂😂👑👑👑
I think the breaks between the lines only work when you got a hit song thats already known like LM did with Power and Black Magic, but the song is too new for that imo...
9:40 I agree! Back when little mix preformed Woman Like Me at the Brit’s, they replaced Nicki with Ms. Banks. I completely understand what your saying. But all this is her 1 or 2nd “major” performance. So she and her team probably didn’t have anything organized.
From the class of little mix to THIS! I'm absolutely gob smacked how much of a flop this solo career has taken
The other girls must be in tears laughing at this
The dancers are the real performers here.
This reaction is the nicest roast I’ve ever listened to. LMFAO
Thank you
I do want to hear her do acoustic. I feel this song is more about dancing as pose to singing. I agree I want to hear what’s next. Her next songs need to just show off her vocals to really cement her way.
We know that jesy can sing really really beautifull as we know from accoustics ! Hope she shows that side soon
She knows but chooses the "Baddie" persona
Who else has been waiting for this video?! So excited
I agree. This performance wasn't the best. The breaks and hyping up the crowd was a little too much. I just wanted Jesy to actually sing cause we all know she can
HER TALKING ABT THE TOUNGE GIVES ME LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
im crying
A lot of people said that this performance was lip synced. Smh 🤦🏽♀️ we go to concerts to hear people sing live using their voice in person if I wanted to hear the audio tape I would’ve just listened to it on Apple Music! Honest vocal coach loved the intro and how professional and respectful you are ❤️
Lip syncing has been around a long time. Why not just enjoy show and the effort these singers make.
@@brandyag because they are singers and people pay to hear them sing live?
We pay alot of money to hear them sing live aswell
Isn't Jingle Bell Ball free?
Love a bit of butter in the swede
So disappointed in Jesy. She needs to prioritise singing over dancing. Her lip syncing is so bad too. The tongue thing has been done, Miley Cyrus kicked the ass out of that years ago. I have everything crossed for her next single
The buzz has already disappeared for Jesy, this performance was ridiculous, there isn’t much hope for her next performance and she isn’t going to publicly apologise for blackfishing or other scandals she got in.
Jesy wanted to target the US market with this sound and have a hip hop edgy feel. I sort of get why she wants to debut with a boppy type song but the song just average, so it's just a thing she has to get through this song, do some performances then go again into the next song.
It's a bit harsh to expect a person who has choreography to do a whole song live when many barely move and lip sync. She chose the right format in terms of sing verses and give a show for the chorus & sing behind the backing track.
Jesy definitely can perform and the stage presence is at a high level. Less of the tongue and the trying to seem tough vibe is what she needs to ditch.
I think on performance type songs the entertainment value come slightly above all out vocals. On mids and ballads it's vocals, vocals, vocals and that's what I'll expect during this solo stint.
I see her potential, just some things to iron out. I didn't mind the production value. It gave a headline act vibe, just could have been slightly more cohesive but these things will progress.
Just wanted to let you know that you look very healthy and energetic! Makes me truly happy ;)
her vocals are amazing when she was singing live!! I'm excited for her to bring out a slow song so we can rly hear her vocals
Your not old, these are questions many people are asking.
4:10 this look we all had at this particular part 🤣
I think that this song is just not the right song to sing live, I can’t wait to see other songs from her, because she is talented and really good vocalist!
I agree it just doesn’t complement her voice as well
I really wanted to support her after leaving little mix, the problem is that she quite literally doesn’t allow me to. I mean, no hate towards her but the black-fishing issue, the uncomfortable situation (rather sad to be honest) that happed with Leigh, and now this (this is not bad though, just not my cup of tea). The good thing is that she seems confident so at least that improved apparently.
“I’m sorry but that did make me laugh” Georgina I love u omg
Loved this reaction ❤️ Especially how you were trying so hard not to be shady towards Jesy after everything she's done. That actually requires an extremely high level of tolerance.
Also, I think the 'Ooh, bad, bad boy' belts were live since she sounded a bit tired because she was dancing at the same time but I'm not very sure.
Her screams gave me Fergie's "lets play some basketball" at her national anthem performance vibes lmao
The thing is that Little Mix lipsync a lot more than we actually think they do. The reason most people don’t realize is that their sound levels are usually on point in order to cover it up, and don’t sound any different from their live vocals. Jesy was always the worst at hiding the fact she was lipsyncing, and combined with really bad mixing, this just came off as SUPER awkward
Never noticed she was the worst at hiding the lip sync, but I totally believe you
Little Mix always lip sync their choruses.
(I mean who wouldn’t with LM choreography)
However they always sang their verses live. Even Jesy. So I don’t understand why she can’t sing anymore.
Little Mix uses it in the choruses, where they're just dancing, but Jesy uses it in the entire song.
Little Mix is most likely to lipsynch the chorus of their uptempo songs because their choruses are always sung in unison, but their solo lines and ad libs are mostly live.
Yea, the problem is that the fanbase would cry whenever you pointed out that they were not singing live and then they would go on rants about how "they're queens that are so talented and work so hard to put on amazing shows and blah blah blah" . . .cool. They're still not singing live. And it was not always just for the chorus either. Iove Sweet Melody but there are so many performances of that song where every single note is exactly the same and it's because they were performing a lipped version. It's okay for the fans to admit it.
I'm actually so curious to see what the next single will be what direction will she go?
The wrong direction.
The parts she was singing live were pretty good so I don't know why she couldn't do the whole thing, I would've been happy if she even sang with herself with her backing track
I feel that Jesy has really lost her way since leaving Little Mix, I don’t know whether to feel sorry for her or just plain annoyed 😒
The way that arm move is universally hilarious 😩🤣
I didn't feel Jesy either but I felt you Georgina! hehe
You were very relatable in this video! :)
Very good review!
Also I love when you talk even about the dance or things are out your sphere, you know what I mean? I love your opinion so keep saying your thoughts!! Thank you
Whoever the sound engineering team is haaaates her lmfao
The jessy we knew no longer exists when she was with little mix we could see she could sing live
her solo career had a disastrous start i hope that at least for the next songs she will sing it live because how the audience was silent unfortunately explains everything: / I hope that at least for the next songs that she will pull herself together to make better songs and sing live
I actually thinks this is what she meant in not able to keep up with the girls and being comfortable and not anxious.. LM is known for their fancy vocals and choreo and hectic schedule and all.. But when Jesy go solo now she finally do things at her own pace sing songs she like and how she like it how she wanna act on stage how the choreo as long as shes comfortable ( but we all see it is as not like the standard when she was in LM but perhaps these loose things are not putting pressure on her and good for her mental health )
Her screaming "Cmon" sounds like Fergie screaming "Lets play some basketball" at the end of famous national anthem performance
I feel bad for Jesy , she is capable a lot more then what she is doing right now , she used to be a great vocalist during LM era
One hundred percent agree
I LOVED THIS REACTION HAHAHAHAHA FIRE JESYS CHOREOGRAPHER
Giving a little of Cheryl Cole brits performance
I like her but her two performances for this song so far just weren't doing for me idk 😐
This was hilarious. Like something from The Office: 10:10 😂😂😂
Rita Ora had her new song recently! I’d love you to react to Rita more often especially some of her live performances as they really showcase her incredible vocals!!
My main problem is I can't understand the words she's saying. Both her diction and the words themselves. I know I'm old (late thirties) but I feel like she is aiming this at a really specific age group or subculture that I'm not a part of. Oh and the baby Britney voice... bleurgh. All I like here is the P. Diddy nostalgia.
I totally thought her first solo song would be something kind of like Jessie Reyes “Figures” or something like that. I think Jesy is so much more talented than this 💕
Being a little mix fan and love Jesys voice. I simple am disappointed at her whole solo career. It’s not special as of yet! But her love performances we’ve had so far are simply just s*** she hasn’t really established herself yet and didn’t really take much time to do that. 2 months after leaving little mix she’s in the studio working on solo music. There’s no originality on who she is yet. Like I said it’s disappointing. Let’s hope the 2nd single is something that’s gonna showcase her as a solo artist.
Our multiracial queen 👸👸🏻👸🏼👸🏽👸🏾👸🏿
Being completely honest... The tongue thing has been a regular thing from Jesy since a lot of years, and the lypsyncing too. As with the girls, they always lypsinc at their chorus. But i think because now all the eyes are on her this things are a lot more obvious and noticeable
her reaction was so funny
The audience members roaring up no we’re not makes it 😂
All the great things she used to do in Little Mix... where did that go?
I cackled at this reaction
Never noticed how nice your nails looked in this video!
jesy was always the “hype man” of little mix and they did lip their choruses but their choreo AND vocals were much more involved so i feel like it’s more reasonable to do so. her hyping her up to stop the performance every 10 seconds especially when this is the only song she’s performance just doesn’t work imo
Agree with you 💯- for me it reminds me of any cheryl cole performance 🤣👌🏽smoke and mirrors
Yea
Jesy: MAKe SUm nOoOooiIIiIsE
Crowd: '-' ..................*yae*
She is desperately trying to appeal to the American Market
Last comment I swear, I think the breaks in the song are to fill the entire time slot. I really like Jesy voice but this song, I’m not saying it’s not her genre, but ugh I just wish she sings live more 😭
Jingoh-bew-bow are ya ready?
“No we’re NOT”
Jesy has always had good vocals but of the girls I think she was always the most prone to lipsync
4:16 I am watching this on my way home from work. I had a bad day, but I laugh so hard for your reaction.
Sis was speechless
What’s the point of getting out of a group that are doing amazing, just because of what people say - to then start a solo career. You’re literally gone get the same hate is never going to go away.
