A recent interview with Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix revealed that she initially felt self-conscious about joining the popular girl group. When Jade auditioned for The X Factor in 2011, she had to audition as a solo artist three times before being paired with fellow contestants Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson.
Despite being selected, Jade revealed to Rolling Stone UK that she didn't see herself as a "conventional" girl group member, citing her nerdy and quiet personality. Jade's initial reservations about joining the group were based on societal stereotypes, where she expected to be seen as a sultry, confrontational performer. In contrast, she perceived herself as not being " sexy" and not being comfortable in the midst of drama.
However, instead of causing her to struggle in the group... these traits ended up being advantageous for her growth and understanding of sisterhood. Under the guidance of her bandmates, Jade has discovered her confidence and learned to appreciate the value of camaraderie and teamwork. Her initial doubts aside, Little Mix has become one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, "boasting 19 top 10 singles," "including five number ones." This article relies on information from a recent Metro interview with Jade Thirlwall... in which she discusses her initial reservations about joining Little Mix and how they have positively impacted her career and personal growth.
She might be the angel of our dreams now but Jade Thirlwall has revealed she once felt she was not 'conventional' enough to join Little Mix. The Black Magic hitmakers formed in 2011 on The X Factor , smashing expectations and becoming the first group to win the popular ITV show.
