Music Video Review: How Ya Doin'? by Little Mix Ft Missy Elliott

Artist: Little Mix Ft Missy Elliott 
Song: How Ya Doin'? 
Director: Carly Cussen

With competitions from current girl bands like The Saturdays and Stooshe, Little Mix are steadily working their way up the pop ladder. Coming from X Factor as solo artists, and put together by the judges, this lot have brushed up their skills in no time, as we welcome the fourth single from their debut studio album 'DNA'.

The music video reflects the song in any way possible. The girly, peppy, colourful video identifies with the personalities of young girls everywhere, with the video set on the background of a girl's bedroom, and A LOT of clothes. What I love is when they use the camera as a mirror, sorting out their hair and singing in to it. It's actually what girls do when they get together! Eventually they go from bedroom to the stage, which seems as though it's reflecting the lives of these four girls who went from bedroom singers, to stardom.

Many will have been awaiting the arrival of non other than Missy Elliot, who features on the track. The rap star has been AWOL on the music scene of late, and its great to see her back on the screen. Unfortunately, it was obvious Missy did the video in a separate studio, but they tried to make the studios to look the same, and edited it well enough for most people not to notice.

With a cute video, and a dance routine to learn, most teenage girls will love this video. It doesn't however, mask the fact that the song is not very good. Ooops!

Did You Notice?

“The number you have dialled... has been changed,” Brilliantly used the phone lady at the end of the video, with their own personalised message. Really fits in with the song!
