Little Mix: The Search

This is such a new and refreshing concept that no one had before like before this there was 'the four' which i enjoyed.. I didn't know what to expect from this show but i clicked in just out of curiosity so till then i am now a huge fan of the show... I feel like if any of you wants to see a cool kind of reality show but at the same time you are okay with being emotional ..this is definitely a MUST WATCH

Remember when S Club 7 tried to find a band to support them on tour and gave the world S Club Juniors?

Well Little Mix clearly do, and are using the same idea with this "It's really not X Factor" talent show.

And fair play to them, it's not 'X Factor' - people will actually watch it!

The only issue I have it's that it's all very nice. I'm not saying one of the girls needs to turn 'Cowell-esque', but there's only so much nicety one can stomach before it turns sappy.

It'll do well.

The quality of the talent is good, I also like the visuals, set up, and of course the girls are very nice and give great performances at the start of the shows. I just have a few critques:

1. When Little Mix provide feedback to the guests, their feedback is always very generic, bland and nice. They never say anything groundbreaking / worth watching (so I always skip it on catch-up).

2. The categories need some work. It's hard to keep track of all the different categories, and some of them feel the same. For example, I would suggest merging 'girl dance group' & 'girl group' into 1 category, keeping the latter. Same for the mixed 'rap R&B group' and 'mixed group'. Then within each of these categories, they can create multiple bands of different styles / genres.

3. The winners may not be the most talented, due to the nature of the audience. This is a highly subjective opinion, but I think the most recent winners of this show, only won because the majority of little mix fans (who consequently watch this show) are young girls, who naturally like boy bands. I don't think they won because of talent. And I could potentially see that concept having a negative impact on the show long term.

However, I will give the show another go, it was entertaining, just requires more tweaks which is kinda normal for the first time round on a show. I'm not sure about it's longevity though, given the nature of some of the points I've outlined above.

A much needed revamp of the talent show format. Can definitely see the ratings increasing week by week.

Everything about this show is FRESH. I highly recommend it. (Better then X Factor the group)
