Superhot Little Mix give fans night to remember

- BY LINDSEY HAMILTON

Little Mix proved last night that they truly are the greatest girl band in the world right now.

In a set that lasted just over an hour and included more than a dozen of their biggest hits, the girls of Little Mix won the hearts and minds of the 11,000-strong crowd who turned up in the wind and rain to watch their pop idols.

From the minute they hit the stage in a flash of fire, they rocked, entertaine­d and wowed their fans of all ages.

They began the night with their hit Power, followed by Black Magic.

Then came other hits, several taken from their hit album Glory Days and some songs from even further back during their early days in 2011 and 2012.

As they belted out song after song they captivated the city crowd and when the group told them how much they loved the local accent they had the crowd eating out of their rockstar hands. As the girls pumped out Salute and the crowd joined in the way Dundee fans pronounce the word — Saloot — Little Mix even had a go themselves.

The costumes were incredible and the dance routines flawless, fast and fantastic — the energy they put in was quite frankly awesome.

Not for one minute did they let up and even during a couple of slower and quieter ballad numbers the power of their voices was evident.

Those girls have come a long way from their first tentative appearance on X Factor. It was definitely a stroke of genius putting them together and the girls clearly demonstrat­ed tonight they have an obvious chemistry on stage.

This writer may be a “little” older than the average Little Mix fan — there were hundreds of under-10s in the audience — but I thought they were fabulous.

The Dundee weather may have been cold, wet, windy and miserable but the girls and the performanc­e they put on was superhot!

The crowd came along expecting a lot and they got it and more. The entire performanc­e from the pop princesses was slick, energetic and raunchy. The cold was forgotten as everyone joined in the hits that flowed one after the other.

There was one costume change in the middle of the numbers and while they girls were off stage their all male backing dancers performed a routine that was just as lively as the rest of the show.

Back on stage the girls just got even better.

Meanwhile the party got started with Australian band Sheppard who won a lot of new friends.

They were followed by Ella Eyre who was the perfect act to lead into Little Mix themselves with her own incredible list of hits and had the crowd with her from the first number to the last.

They were sexy, they were sassy and they were sensationa­l — and Dundee loved them.
