Burn Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) They waited too long and now they're too old. Not being ageist but this is just how it works and we all know this. If you want to be a (female) star you've got to get in there early. That's why Mariah, Beyoncé, Ariana, Britney, Taylor, Rihanna etc were all in their late teens/early 20s when they came out. There's one exception of a pop girl who started later in life and that's Madonna. Edited April 15 by Burn 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelato Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Perrie's song is shaping up to be a hit in the UK and she's coming across well in her interviews. She has more personality than I thought. Leigh-Anne's solo career is probably a write off but she was always the least popular and quietest member, and releasing a Mabel reject as her first single was a big mistake. If she'd put out My Love first then things could've been different. Jesy self-sabotaged. And we still have to wait and see for Jade who has a strong LGBTQ following even outside of LM stans. I agree that they haven't helped themselves by taking so long to release, but Leigh-Anne and Perrie had children so they were never going to be able to get their material out within a year of the hiatus starting. I don't think it's fair to say 5H have done better in comparison. Dinah, Ally, Lauren and (sadly) Normani are NOT doing well, and Camila's career is looking pretty washed up right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikejuju Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Perrie's song has been out for like 3 days. You can't really calm it a flop yet. Also, I feel like everyone kind of expected Leigh Anne to be the least successful. So we need to give Perrie more time and see what Jade has to offer.

LM waited to long to debut anyway if Perrie would've debuted 7 years ago she'd be huge. I think also what a lot of people seem to be missing is that, regardless of the Jesy fallout, they actually worked well together in a group and enjoyed being together. Lots of girl/boy group members use the group to boost their profile for a couple of eras before launching their solo career, but Little Mix always said they weren't particularly interested in going solo. SyCo wanted Perrie to go solo ages ago and she repeatedly turned them down. It's pretty clear that these solo projects are them all trying out their own sounds before reuniting again. As a long time fan, I was never under the illusion that any of them would see massive success if they ever went solo. Leigh-Anne's management really messed up trying to market her as the next big thing when that was obviously never going to happen. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyride Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 there are many factors that go into this, first of all: - the girls were mainly promoted in Europe, so they don't have support from a lot of markets. - their careers are launching at an average age of 32, which is now considered old for most folks. - time has passed and the Little Mix "mania" has faded in all of their key markets. - the abrupt end as a group divided the entire fan base. their public is very small/niche at this point. I don't think any of the girls have a chance to make it big all things considered. also, I don't think any of them are "hungry for success" as they have already experienced in their own way.

dumbsparce Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Idk if it's bc she reminds of Tinashe, but I think Jade is the only one who can amass a solid fanbase as a solo artist as long as she abandons the kind of music she did with the group. So far none of them has made songs that couldn't be performed by Little Mix so there's no surprise factor going on to kickstart their solo careers. Leigh-Anne's songs have been bland so far. Not to mention the lack of creativity when she's 3/3 when it comes to song titles having the word "love" in them Perrie's is not my kind of song at all and I never found her voice (or presence in general) to be appealing. I can see her having a Taylor-lite lite lite lite lite lite kind of fanbase though so we'll see. Edited April 15 by dumbsparce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
