Initially dubbed Rhythmix, the group performed En Vogue’s “Don’t Let Go”, Katy Perry’s “E.T.” and Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” on the show, and became the first group in history to win the competition.
With their mentor, N-Dubz’s Tulisa Contostavlos, Little Mix impressed the public with their bubbly attitudes, pop star looks, and relatable song choices. Originally auditioned as solo artists, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock were offered the choice of joining forces at the boot-camp stage.
