Little Mix's X Factor Story

Chapter 4

Leigh Anne's POV

It was week three. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for a girlband. We were so happy.

We're like sisters. We don't know what we'd do without each other. We're really close.

Jade is like the cute one in the group. Perrie is always the last to get out of bed. She's the baby. Jesy in the group is the whining willow. She gets quite emotional sometimes. And I'm like the mum of the group. So I look after the girls; cooking, washing the dishes etc.

So really, there's nothing really that we'd do without each other.

This week the theme was rock. We were very glad because we love rock. We were flipping our hair back and forth shouting 'Rock' in a really rocky voice. Haha that was fun.

Perrie was named after Steve Perry, a famous rock legend.

This week we needed to work very hard. We had to get the routine right and the vocals right to really rock it out on stage.

We were gonna be singing Tik Tok/Push It. We thought it was a good song choice. But will the judges and the public agree with us. We were about to find out.

It was the morning of the show. Eeeeekk!!! We were excited and nervous both at the same time.

Jesy's POV

As we were singing, I thought it was very exciting. I just loved every single second of it.

At the end everyone was clapping loads. Wow. People actually enjoyed watching and listening to us singing and performing. It just felt so cool. Amazing. Time for the comments.

Louis shouted: "Girls. All I can say is, I love this band. Tulisa, brilliant song choice. Not very rocky. Not really rock, but---"

Tulisa interrupted: "Yes but they've turned it into a rock song."

"I loved it. I loved it. I loved the tune. I love the girls because there's lots of chemistry with these four girls. Tulisa I think you've got two great acts left and I think that these girls could be really really BIG!" Louis finished.

The crowd screamed.

Kelly said: "You really sound great together. Um, I think that the look needs a bit of a pulling together. Which you guys, are obviously working on that. I really want you girls to be better than the last female group that were here. You know what I mean. Be better. Be much better. Be ten times better."

The judges started arguing. Oh dear. The comments weren't so good this time. A couple of minutes later Gary said:

"Girls, just first, it was a very nice performance. But Tulisa I don't really think you've understood the challenge this week. The theme is rock music---"

Tulisa interrupted again: "Did you hear a rock riff?"

"Hang on. No no not a pop song and putting a guitar on it---" Gary argued.

Tulisa said: "Hang on Gary as a...as a musician yourself---"

They started arguing again. Oh deary deary me.

Dermot said: "Hello, hello, hello, anyone down there?! We're on telly. Girls on stage. Here they are!"

We laughed and the crowd screamed. Oh dear. That wasn't very good at all.

Perrie's POV

We discussed what had happened that night the next morning. We weren't very happy at all. Oh dear.

Time for the results show. Here we go. We thought we might go home. It was not looking good.

Standing there waiting for our name to be called was so nerve racking. Take a few deep breaths. It'll all be alright. Don't worry. I was trying to calm myself down. But it wasn't exactly working.

I was wandering what I would do with my life if we didn't get through. Would we keep on trying? Or would we just give up? We didn't know. Well...I didn't know.

Then I was brought back to reality again. Then Dermot said our name I was just like: OH MY GOD!!!

We had actually got through. I blinked several times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I wasn't.

We were screaming and jumping up and down. We thought we were gonna go home. But we weren't. We had got through. YES!
