Little Mix - Salute - Full Album Reaction

Little Mix - Salute - Full Album Reaction

Comments

Oh, no! I wish you had gotten to hear Little Me the acoustic version. It’s ridiculously beautiful and full of enchanting harmonies. My favorites from this album are Towers, Good Enough and These Four Walls, but once again, it’s just a straight up masterpiece.

Kalah Dolman

These Four Walls. Don't even get me started, saddest LM song I ever heard. Jade had a major writing credit here and it was partly about the feeling of loss when her beloved grandfather died suddenly and she was heartbroken. The other girls may have added other elements and stories here too but I only know of Jade's. They rarely perform this song too emotional and personal for them.

Ivan Lee

Their vocals are so convincing: when Jade or Jesy is singing "I feel nothing at all" I literally believe every word and am completely heartbroken for them. The emotions are so true and real it's unbelievable, and this coming from an emotional cripple whose heart had broke 30 years ago and never healed. Grateful to Little Mix for waking my heart again.

Ivan Lee

I have seen your Salute reaction cut video on Youtube but now finally get to hear the uncut version which is much better because I can hear the whole songs along with your reactions. You know how most "inspirational" songs, especially the religious ones have a rep for being rather meh musically and also too preachy, corny, etc.? "Little Me" is the exception, the most beautiful, emotional, haunting and uplifting inspirational song you will ever hear and every word true, written by Little Mix themselves. I can't respect them more for this love song they wrote for their younger Mixer fans, like who does this? Many huge pop artists spend their songs indulging in navel gazing in their songs but you near none of the vapidness or narcissism in "Little Me". It's so incredibly underappreciated masterpiece because of the "inspirational" label.

You should check out this performance of Move. I really like it and I'll think you'll enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQzrUpAHbs

Vanessa

Haha I forgot she was in HP!!

Jess S

Haha, it's only a glance but Jesy is in one of the Harry Potter's films, not joking 🤣 So, you may have to do a Harry Potter marathon to find her! Instead of Where's Wally is Where's Jesy! She was really young tho 😊♥️

Griselda Leal

Glad something could cheer you up a bit ♥️ Love me anything unplugged!

Michael Beveraggi

I’ll def be reacting to every single music video 😊

Michael Beveraggi

Aww Jayde this is BEAUTIFULLY stated you are seriously wonderful Jesy is the luckiest to have a fan like you 💜

Michael Beveraggi

Jess ♥️♥️I caught that lyric and didn’t think that’s what it was about wow wow 😢♥️

Michael Beveraggi

Lmao soon soon I promise! (Before the year is over 🙂)

Michael Beveraggi

That’s such a great point on Leigh Anne Tim! Didn’t even realize that but yeah she def had a lot more bridges and big notes and less of the rapping/spoken word on this album! Can’t shoe horn our girl! Also appreciate all the recommendations (and yes I’m a nosy b**** for sure lmao so cantttt wait) Thank you for your words always Tim, the essays couldn’t possibly be long enough! I soak in all these words and they mean the world to me ♥️

Michael Beveraggi

AHH YES!

Michael Beveraggi

Hope you’re doing well Annie ♥️ Yes live versions of songs always hit me much harder especially with these girls so I’ll have to check out Salute live!

Michael Beveraggi

Once I watch the LM5 tour movie yes I’ll def prob need some help sorting through the live performances!! (Also holding out that sliver of hope of Jesy reuniting with the girls whenever she’s ready possibly years from now & getting to see them live!)

Michael Beveraggi

That sounds like a must watch Jared! Hope you’re doing well ♥️

Michael Beveraggi

♥️ yes exactly!! You can never say never on reuniting, time will only help!

Michael Beveraggi

Griseldaaaaa!! Love reading your comments but wait wait WHAT is this about Jesy in Harry Potter!?! Now I’m racking my brain 😭

Michael Beveraggi

I think I deleted my previous post by mistake, lol... Anyway, Salute is such an amazing album! 😊 my 2nd favourite after LM5, hehe! I think Salute will grow on you, it hits different live with the choreo and stage presence. Move is such a banger in every way, shape or form! Can't help but dance everytime I listen to it! Little Me is a powerful song with a beautiful message, and I agree with Jess S, you'd love the music video! Good Enough always get me, I'm so related to it and Jesy that I don't think I'll be able to listen to it at least for a while, even tho it's one of my favourite songs of them... Thank you for your kind words about Jesy's situation, I love how genuine and honest you are 😍 I will appreciate, support and love Jesy no matter what! Same goes for Jade, Perrie and Leigh Anne ♥️ Again, thanks for a great reaction, looking forward to many more! 😝 Oh, by the way, as I see you a Harry Potter fan, here's a challenge... Jesy appears in one of the movies, hehe! 😊

Griselda Leal

Loved this, as always. really cheered me up as well. Also, just to let you know, there is an unplugged version of Little me in case you would like to check that out.

Katie W

A different beat was featured in Pitch Perfect, maybe that's where you heard it from... Boy defo has the Destiny's Child vibes! The live performance for this song is insane! Check the music videos and live performaces for this era because you're gonna get blown away 😍 Great reaction as always, looking forward to many more! I'm much enjoying this journey with you, much love! 😘♥️ P.S: I'm such a grandma with technology it's unreal 🤣

Griselda Leal

Also i agree with everything you said about Jessy.. i am so sad that we wont get to see her perform or have her unique voice (which is one of my all time fav voices) BUT i am also so proud of her for putting herself first and taking care of herself. She has given 9 amazing years so her fans and now its out turn to give her the space and time she needs to heal. And hope that maybe in a few years she could possibly reunite with the girls again.

Loving all this LM content lately!! Thank youu love watching you hear our girls old songs for the first time. I know u said u have a lot of their stuff coming up, (cant wait for the eat-in) but could you do some of their older songs music videos now that u listened to the albums too pleaseee?? This album is one of my favs because of all the ballad/ slow songs. Little Me is one of my top songs from them still to this day. Please watch the video to it!! Like Salute, Little Me, Move, Secret love song, DNA and Wings etc.

YC

I don’t know why but I got a little emotional at the start of Salute. I think the reality of the situation just hit me when I heard Jesy sing. I’m really going to miss her. She has such a unique voice and she brought so much to the group. I love them all so much, but it’s just not quite the same without her. These four walls is even better live. Their harmonies on that song are insane. The best video is their appearance on Surprise Surprise IMO. I totally agree about Boy. It gives all the Destiny’s Child vibes and it made me so nostalgic for that era of music, which I also grew up on. It’s an amazing song and I wish they had done more arrangements like that. The only way Good Enough could be better is if it had the same harmony section that they added to the live version. During this era they also covered the song Word Up as the official single for a UK charity called Sport Relief. It has a music video and a live performance from the charity’s tv event. This album is so good. I think it’s crazy that label canceled their American tour for this album. LM haven’t been back to America in a significant way since. They only appeared as an opening act for Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande and did a couple performances of their singles on talk shows. And just so you know they did a livestream for the release of this album where they did acoustic versions of some of the songs. I can’t remember how many they actually did, because it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but they’re great. It’s still on YouTube if you’re interested.

Salute is one of their best albums in my opinion from sound to lyrics and concepts. I really hope you'll watch their previous live performances from tours and things because it would honestly be such a shame if you didn't get to experience Jesy live. She's such an amazing performer and it'll be really hard to see the other girls without her on stage. OT3 will never look right but this is what's best for right now and we have to support both Jesy and the other girls during this. If you ever need help finding good videos of concerts/tour performances, I'm more than happy to help. I know it's hard to pick good videos for a reaction when you can't actually watch them first, so I'm happy to help with that cause the video with the most views is not necessarily the best video to react to, unfortunately.

Melissa

Thank you so much for this; I needed cheering up and you once again came through! Losing Jesy from LM is devastating, but I'd rather hear she's leaving the group than that she's taken another overdose...and that was the direction she was heading in again - the media and trolls never stopped. She's so incredibly brave to admit she needs to step away and find her own happiness again. I'm so excited to see what all four of the girls do going forward; it'll be weird but I'm sure Perrie, Jade, and Leigh will do all of us proud! I highly recommend watching a live version of Salute - the Get Weird Tour is my personal favourite

Lan

First of all, can I say thank you for reintroducing me to this album. I consider myself a mixer, but tbh I only ever listened to this album, and Get Weird once and remember thinking that outside of some great singles, they were both full of fillers and never revisited. Listening through with you today, I’ve realised I remember this album wrong. It was really good! I think I have the same issue with Salute. For me, it’s just a bit, I dunno, repetitive? And I wasn’t a fan of the music video either, which I think impacts on my enjoyment of the song. Move however, always has been, and always will be a certified banger! I remember when the music video dropped thinking it was the first ‘grown up/adult’ sort of video they’d done and loved it. Little Me again was a powerful video, and what impressed me, was Leigh Anne’s belt. I kind of feel in the DNA era, the label was trying to show horn her into being more of a rap/spoken word type of presence so when I first heard her belt I was like “yes girl! Sing!” Ha ha. Good enough might be one of my favourite Little Mix tracks ever. I really recommend watching the live performance from tour. They switch up the ending of the song and Perrie goes off! Literally gives me goosebumps every time. The track you said you thought you’d heard before in a LM video and would make for good choreography on tour (sorry, I can’t remember the song title) reminded me a bit of Lightning from Get Weird which is a fan favourite track, so maybe that’s what you heard before? They also did a charity music video for a cover of Word Up this era which I think appeared on the Deluxe Version? It’s a pretty humorous music video and upbeat cover, so I’d definitely recommend you check it, if even just in your own leisure time away from the channel. Also, it may be just because of what’s happened recently that I’m thinking about it, but it seemed to me that Jesy’s vocals were a lot more prominent in earlier albums? It feels like she features less and less on the later albums. But it just might me thinking too much about her leaving and connecting dots that aren’t there. You’re going to love Eat in with Little Mix. You really get a good insight to their personalities, plus if you’re a nosy b**** like me, you get to see inside their homes, which is cool lol. Anyways, another great reaction my friend. I love your Little Mix reactions and I like the level of attention and respect you give each song. Apologies for the essay of a comment and I look forward to checking more LM content from you!

Different Beat is in Pitch Perfect 2

JULIE CONNORS

Another great reaction, Michael. This album is not my favourite of theirs, but there are definitely a couple of stand-out songs, and I'm happy you enjoyed the album so much! I'm so sad about Jesy, but I'm also really excited for her; being able to give herself the time to heal and explore herself outside of the public eye will only bring good things for her, and I'm selfishly hoping that maybe she will eventually release some solo music where she can control the work pace and how visible she wants to be better than she could as part of a group. And if she decides to stay under the radar forever, more power to her! Making the effort to reclaim herself after all these years is so courageous.

Jayde Ritchey

You will love the music video for ‘Little me’! The lyrics in ‘these four walls’ were inspired by Jades feelings when her grandad died, which triggered her battle with anorexia when she was a teenager. You will notice her lyrics “I tried to eat today but the lump in my throat got in the way”. Great reaction like always 🙂

Jess S

When are you going to react Camila's Album I know I'm harassing you everywhere I'm sorry LOL
