This appreciation for Leigh Anne's voice is so refreshing. Often you see her being called easily the weakest vocalist in the group which I think is insane because there are certain performances where she sounds the best

[@MsShani98]

But she's my favourite member!! (Love them all)

[@joohngordillo9742]

I love the video due to that exact same thing and finding your comment showing It up just make It even better. 😄😄😄

[@alessialilis2934]

tbh leigh anne probably has the second most powerful voice, after perrie. people just don’t take notice but her voice doesn’t have a deep tone:((

[@hotmess2766]

She's awesome I love Leigh Anne

[@littlegrande]

I agree, but she is the weakest vocalist atm. The reason she sounds better than the rest sometimes is because 1. You like her voice more. 2. She's making mistakes in technique that doesn't sound bad, but affects her voice in the long run (her growls are a flaw in technique btw). 3. She has a powerful voice. 4. The others don't dodge/change notes and end up sounding more tired. And of course, because Leigh has improved so much.

Too bad they won’t stay together for long. The industry tends to pit them against one another and propels the “Star”

[@lorenzovakarian]

juzthatone11 Luckily they've already been together for 7 years and are showing no signs of stopping. Their only current barrier seems to be that their management has no desire to promote them in the US, despite there arguably being a gap in the market for a girl group there. It's a shame that they're being held back in that respect because they're so talented.

It's funny how in every Video where Professionals judge Little Mix they always appreciate Leigh Annes Voice so much but the Fans always under appreciate her !!!! Here you have the Point she is definetely Not the weakest Member of Little Mix !!!!!

[@hotmess2766]

Gone are the days when some fans thought that. We all appreciate Leigh's voice just as much as the other girls. I don't think any member of Little Mix has the weakest voice. They're just that good. They all have different qualities/tones/strengths to their voices & are all equally talented. Mixers will generally agree 👍

[@Isabel-bg9hl]

@@hotmess2766 but she is still Not aß appreciated as Perrie or Jade. You can See that for example in their Instagram followers or Number of Fan Accounts for only Perrie

[@hotmess2766]

@@Isabel-bg9hl Mixers appreciate all the girls fully. Sure everyone has a fav or someone they connect with more (like myself Leigh & Perrie) but we never undermine any of the other girls. They're all equally talented. As for Instagram it doesn't matter one bit. Us true mixers follow all the girls. I think Perrie & Jade have the most followers only because they have fans outside the fandom. Might be because of Jerrie (just like camren)..Perrie especially as she might be more famous because of the Zayn drama she was in celebrity gossip columns more than the others but she is still awesome in her own right. I'm sure none of the girls even pay attention to whose got more followers on Instagram it doesn't make anyone more special & any sane person knows this.

[@JordanAyjayeHarrison]

[@Erikaahh_Mae]

I feel as if they do more harmonies than fifth harmony. I'm not trying to put them against each other again like everyone does. But live harmonies little mix always wins for me.

[@belliaarian]

You should totally react to all 4 of them separately in order to analyze their individual voices further! And you are correct. Leigh-Anne Pinnock (the light skinned fashionista) almost always has that super crisp, clear tone, but there are certain moments where she gives it a little more breathiness. And Jesy Nelson's (the sexy badass girl) signature sound is that breathy, seductive voice, but she can also give some strong ass vocals when she wants to, so it's definitely a choice! Perrie Edwards (the blonde one) is the one who can belt those super crazy high notes flawlessly and consistently and Jade Thirlwall (the 4th girl who looks like a fairy princess) has the head voice of an absolute angel, but she can also belt for her life. I think it would be interesting to see which of the girls you like the best after hearing what they all can do!

[@babi-if4ux]

HHah lmao i love how ypu describe each girl but but you describe pez as the blonde one hahaha

[@belliaarian]

Jesy can hit different notes and style of vocals rather than her raspy, breathy voice; her vocals in Freak is different during the high notes and I honestly thought it was Perrie.

Jordan 87 the rest of the girls are fully capable of doing the exact same thing though, her voice is just celebrated the most. They’re getting a lot better with making the solos equal but for a very long time, particularly during the x factor and the 3 years after that, perrie had a good majority of the solos and everyone else was essentially back up. the girls are all so agile and can do so much, they just never get the chance to.

It’s definitely a choice. She can sing clear as a bell when she wants to.

[@allisonyoung9371]

@Becca exactly. She rarely struggles with projection or hitting notes where as the other girls have all had their strain-y moments, Perrie & Leigh in particular. Not saying Jesy's never strained, no one's perfect, but she's the least likely to have issues. Her biggest enemy is her stylistic choices imo.

The breathy tone of her voice I am talking about Jesy and that is what makes her voice perfect but yeah she goes clear and also has a clear voice
