Skanky? Nicole Scherzinger has HER say on the Little Mix ‘message’

If there's one thing Little Mix nailed this year, it's how to grab a headline.

From their less than discrete message to Zayn Malik in Shout Out to My Ex to their on-stage ensembles for X Factor, rarely a day passed when we didn't hear of Perrie, Jesy, Jade and Leigh-Anne.

And with some insisting the former X Factor contestants have been become too provocative, Nicole Sherzinger felt compelled to weigh in on the controversy which appears to follow the four girls.

Speaking ahead of the X Factor finale tomorrow night, Nicole appeared to think that criticism against the girls was unjustified.

"I felt the good thing about Little Mix is they are empowering girls. They don’t seem skanky or raunchy," she said.

‘They have an empowering message and the song is empowering, so that’s going to make them confident," she continued.

Comparing the band to her former group, Nicole suggested that the girls' image is always going to be subject to change.

‘I’m sure they changed it up as the Pussycat Dolls changed it up. Ultimately it comes from within and I can’t really pass judgement," she finished.

Fair enough…
