Little Mix: Black Magic Update #1

Hey everyone! I kinda got bored today and I thought that since I am a mixer as well, I can post some Little Mix things on here to satisfy all you mixers out there! I actually watched Little Mix back in 2011 on the X Factor and they had shown great potential on the show. And look where they are now! I'm not as obsessed with Little Mix as I am with Fifth Harmony, but I still keep tabs on Little Mix because these two girl groups are the two most successful at the moment (other than the K-Pop girl groups with like a billion views.....) So in this post, I'll be going over the history of the first single of the girl group's third album and how Black Magic has been doing!

In February 2015, Little Mix revealed that they have chosen the first single from their third album. They said that this whole album introduces a new sound the girls are exploring, and I can't wait. From the success of the first two albums, you can just imagine how Little Mix will come back strong into the music industry after spending months of working on the album. Many fans had already speculated through rumours that the single was called Black Magic and on May 14, 2015, Little Mix confirmed the song's name to be 'Black Magic'! The song was scheduled to be released on May 26th, but the single was leaked online on May 20th so they were forced to release the single earlier on May 21st. As nice as it was to hear the song early, I felt bad that the single got leaked and it was out of the girls' control.



On the very same day the single was 'released', it debuted across the country of the UK through radio airplays and under their record label Syco Music, the single was released in the United States as a single for digital download. The single was also released in Australia on May 22, 2015 for digital download as well. The single is set to be released July 10th in Ireland the UK for digital download, so you better be ready mixers! This single was honestly set as a song the girls' hoped would be their breakthrough in America. Simon Cowell also agreed that it may just be the song that the United States may love and can be turned into a hit. Simon Cowell complimented the song greatly and loves the single, much to Little Mix's surprise. Hopefully Simon can find a way to get Little Mix up there with Fifth Harmony in America, and same for Fifth Harmony in the UK. Sadly, for Little Mix, the song only reached somewhere in the 60s of the American iTunes charts and never debuted onto the Billboard Hot 100 just yet. I bet they'll have big plans to promote the single in the US and North America very soon. For other charts, the single has managed to peak up to #11 in Australia and #155 in France. The single has also peaked to #63 on the Belgium Ultratip Flanders Chart. The single has yet to gain much attention and only has around 10 million views on YouTube after the music video was released on May 29th. The single was performed for the first time live at this year's Capital Summertime Ball and they put on a great show to create much anticipation for the UK release of the single. Check out the performance below!



There isn't much to talk about for Black Magic yet, but I'm sure that Little Mix's management team will get things going. Sooner or later, Black Magic may be turned into Little Mix's most successful track! Let's hope for the best! Thanks for joining me today and I'll be posting about Black Magic weekly. Come back next week and enjoy their music video in the meantime!

Little Mix and Fifth Harmony: Friendships/Fandom Feuds

Hey everyone! After a trip to the UK, Fifth Harmony are back to make several appearances around America before starting the Summer Reflection Tour (Which I'll be posting about this in July)! But, there's just one thing I forgot to mention during the girls' time at the UK..... They hung out with Little Mix! It's so cool seeing these two girl groups together, who have both faced huge amounts of success in their careers. The problem that is still occurring today is the fandom feud between mixers and harmonizers. I can promise you that on every Little Mix and Fifth Harmony video, you see something like "Little Mix is better" on a 5H Video or you see "Fifth Harmony is better" on a LM video. In this post, I'll be writing about both girl groups, the fandoms, the similarities and the differences. Hope you enjoy!
 
 So during early 2013, the two girl groups hadn't made direct contact and haven't met each other yet. The only time at all when they even gave a glimpse at each other was at the Kids Choice Awards. Lauren mentioned that the two girl groups happily waved at each other from a distance but that was about as close they were to meeting the UK girls.
But they did meet up for a quick photo with Little Mix and Demi Lovato at the Teen Choice Awards in late 2013:
 
It wasn't until the Demi Lovato's Neon Lights Tour that they became formerly introduced to each other as the opening acts for Demi Lovato. I can imagine the two girl groups hanging out in between sound checks, eating food and travelling towards new pit stops of the tour. Check out the two girl groups on Fuse, interviewing each other (and a picture to go along their time they had to hang out with each other)

After I'm sure that the two girl groups, Demi Lovato and other opening acts had tons of time getting acquainted with one another, they're all friends. Little Mix had barely shown up to America ever since the Neon Lights Tour, as they released the single Salute and headlined their second tour The Salute Tour in support of their second album. Touring from mid-May to the end of July all around Europe, Little Mix had been putting on great shows and were headed to America after their European leg of the tour. But sadly, they never appeared in America for the second leg due to decisions to cancel the North America leg of the tour because they wanted to work on their third album. All is forgiven when they still made appearances in the U.S. and Canada to perform a couple songs, but never met up with 5H for the time being.
 
Before Fifth Harmony's UK Trip at the end of May, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony never saw each other for the four months in the beginning of 2015. They did talk about one another in interviews when they were asked a question about the opposing group. Here's an example of Little Mix talking about Fifth Harmony:



Words of wisdom from Jesy and Leigh-Anne. There's no comparison to make because both girl groups are completely different. Same with Normani Kordei Hamilton, who shot down  the rumoured rivalry between the two girl groups in Fifth Harmony's Sugarscape Interview. Click the link to see the interview.
 
As Normani said, "There is no competition... People try to make it out to be girls against girls but both of us (as groups) are all about girl power, empowering women to stick up for each other and support each other. That's what we do."
 
Harmonizers and Mixers have been going at it probably ever since Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor U.S. Season 2 in 2012 (There is actually no real evidence because anyone can say anything at any given time, really....). It's always 'Little Mix is Better!' or 'Fifth Harmony is Better!' and to all
my 'in-betweeners', I get how annoying it is that fandoms always compare. Fans go as far as being rude and cussing about the girl group they hate and influence other fans to do the same. It isn't right to be calling women 'names' (I don't want to use bad language....) and think it's alright. People use derogatory terms that they don't know what the definition is (the truth!). Feuds between fandoms eventually extend to other fandoms as well, and you may as well call it 'Modern Society's World War III'.........

Personally, I think this fandom feud is idiotic. It really has gone too far because people are really not smart enough to be more optimistic about things. If you don't like something, then don't care about it! Simple as that. Leave what you hate alone, and just surround yourself with things that you love. It's a waste of your time to focus on things that aren't important in your life, to be honest. Hear me out: If I'm a Harmonizer, why should I waste my time trying to convince a mixer that Little Mix sucks (which they don't!)? Same thing when I'm a mixer, it doesn't make sense to complain about Fifth Harmony to harmonizers.
 
Fifth Harmony and Little Mix are friends in real life. Why can't harmonizers and mixers be friends too? Both Girl Groups are unique in their own ways. They have different outfits, different voices and different managements. One thing they do have in common: empowering youth around the world. Smarten up all you haters and learn to love both groups!
 
Thanks so much for taking your time to read this super long post. I appreciate all your love and support. Here's a photo of 5H and LM to enjoy back in Fifth Harmony's trip to the UK early June this month! #BuyWorthItoniTunes #BuyBlackMagiconiTunes
