Little Mix slayed their first live gig in Malaysia!
Comprises of Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson, the girls are in town for the Southeast Asian leg of their Get Weird Tour in support of their third studio album, you guessed it, Get Weird.
After becoming the first group to win the X Factor, the group has dominated the pop chart with endless hits ('Wings', 'Salute', 'DNA', 'Little Me', 'Black Magic', 'Love Me Like You', and their latest offerings, 'Secret Love Song' and 'Hair'). But despite that success, the girls are slightly underrated by the media.
On Saturday night, Mixers from across the region (not just Malaysian, but some came from Indonesia, Thailand, and Hong Kong) wanna make it crystal clear that Little Mix is THE BEST by giving us a chance to witness the loudest pack of Mixers - EVER! With over 4,000 fans in the house, Little Mix's core fanbase basically screamed into our ears for over two hours and judging by that; I have no problem to say Little Mix is now a religion.
Kicking off the gig with 'Grown', the girls stunned us with their sexy outfits and dance moves (not sure if they're suitable for the kids among the audience tho), killer vocals, and high energy throughout the 90 minutes show.
"Tonight is all about you (the fans)! So let your hair down and have fun!," screamed Perrie, before breaking into 'Move', a single from their second full-length, Salute.
Halfway through, Jesy injured herself and was seen limping as she exits the stage after performing one of their earlier hits post X Factor, 'DNA'. She posted a statement in her Instagram that night, stating: "So so gutted I couldn’t perform for the last part of the KL show tonight! Thanks to my amazing 3 girlies for carrying on without me! Torn the ligaments in my ankle but resting up for the Singapore show on Monday..."
Despite that accident, the rest of the group carried the show until the end and closed with their biggest hit to date, 'Black Magic', and the fans went nuts over the final chorus.
It's truly a pop spectacle.
Since 2011, Jade, Perrie, Leigh-Anne, and Jesy have established themselves as one of British’s brightest pop acts and has sold eight million albums worldwide. The girls described the Get Weird Tour as “a celebration of being unique and not holding back” which is most evident in the song that helps them embrace their “inner weirdness”, 'Weird People'.
We tweeted some videos from the show so you may need to go through this thread!
