0:01:37 > 0:01:42I'll be dishing them out over three slamming rounds of poposity
0:01:42 > 0:01:45where I meet the people who knew the stars back in the day...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50..then I check out how hard they've been working...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53..and, finally, I scrutinise their style.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56All before the big moment.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And the winner of the Ambo is...
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now, you might not agree with the outcome and, if not, that's OK.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Get onto the CBBC website and have your say.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Who do you think's going to win?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Little Mix, look at them. They're so cool.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Their hair's pretty, their shoes are pretty. So jealous.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14But then the Rizzle Kicks, I mean, they're so cute
0:02:14 > 0:02:16and they look like they have so much fun.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Well, there's only one way to solve it. It's time for Pop Slam!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Round One, Pop Potential.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29This is all about how our stars made it big.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35# Let's get down with the trumpets Let's get down with the trumpets... #
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Nowadays the boys from Rizzle Kicks
0:02:37 > 0:02:41are riding sky-high on their hip-hop pop success.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46But before all that, Jordan and Harley were right here, in Brighton.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48# Mamma told me not to waste my life...#
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Today Little Mix are one of the biggest girl bands in the world
0:02:51 > 0:02:54but, before that, they were four normal girls
0:02:54 > 0:02:59growing up across England who dreamt of being singing superstars.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04# Cos wings are made to fly... #
0:03:04 > 0:03:08How did Little Mix and Rizzle Kicks become the supercool megastars
0:03:08 > 0:03:11they are today? I'm going to find out.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13First up, Little Mix.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17# These wings are made to fly... #
0:03:17 > 0:03:19# Change, change your life Take it all... #
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We all know X Factor brought Little Mix together
0:03:22 > 0:03:25and it's pretty hard to believe the girls
0:03:25 > 0:03:28with so much chemistry had never met before.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31# Change, change your life Take it all... #
0:03:31 > 0:03:35These girls were born stars.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Leigh-Anne and Jesy grew up in the south of England
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and both briefly went
0:03:39 > 0:03:42to the world-famous Sylvia Young School in London.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Perrie was also studying performing arts at Newcastle College.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Which brings us to Jade who, like Perrie,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52grew up in the north-east of England.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56# So remember we were driving, driving in your car
0:03:56 > 0:03:59# Speed so fast felt like I was drunk... #
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Here she is before she was famous singing with her friend, Tom.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05# Arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
0:04:05 > 0:04:08# And I had a feeling that I belonged... #
0:04:08 > 0:04:13I tracked down Tom in South Shields whilst he was busking.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Well, if it's good enough for Jade...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19'I want goss so he's going to get an interruption.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:22# You need me, man, I don't need you
0:04:22 > 0:04:25# You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man... #
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- I'm just going to stop you there. Keen for a chat?- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK. Tom, loved it. So much fun.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I understand you actually used to play with Jade?- I did, yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35For a little bit, yeah.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37# I remember we were driving... #
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So how does it feel to know someone you've performed with,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42one of your really good friends,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44has gone on to become this massive megastar?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Can't believe it. Honestly, can't believe it.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49All the time we used to sing she was amazing
0:04:49 > 0:04:52but I never thought she would ever get this big, to be honest.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55She's still really down-to-earth. She's still just a friend, really.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58She's still exactly how she was but a lot more people know her.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Did she have a big stage presence when she was performing with you?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06She was always quite shy, really.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08She always just kind of kept herself to herself
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but now she's just let herself go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13# Tell her to speak up Tell her to shout out... #
0:05:13 > 0:05:18So Jade was strutting her stuff at gigs in the north-east.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20And Leigh-Anne, Perrie and Jesy
0:05:20 > 0:05:23were trying to break into the music industry.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27So it was no surprise that in 2011 they all decided to audition
0:05:27 > 0:05:30for the biggest show on TV, the X Factor.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I don't know if you remember
0:05:33 > 0:05:36but all four girls wanted to be solo singers.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43They were not chosen to go beyond Boot Camp as individuals.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47But they were given a lifeline
0:05:47 > 0:05:51and put together to form a four-piece girl group.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56# I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket... #
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I met them in Mykonos in the judges' homes
0:05:59 > 0:06:01when they'd just been put together.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05They were so shy, they were really, really nervous.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10# And big girls don't cry. #
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Watching them progress from what they were like at the judges' homes
0:06:14 > 0:06:18to what they were like by the end of the show was amazing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It was, like, the kind of confidence and strength that they found
0:06:21 > 0:06:24throughout the show was so great to see.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28It was like a completely different act by the final.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:36On December 11th, 2011,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Little Mix won the X Factor.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40# What's it going to be... #
0:06:42 > 0:06:46They were the first group ever to win the competition.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm going to predict, this time next year,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53this is going to be the biggest girl band in the UK by a mile.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Have three Ambo points for winning the biggest competition on TV.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04# Stones taught me to fly... #
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Their winners single was a cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and it went straight in at number one in the charts,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17becoming the fastest selling single of 2011.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22That's an awesome achievement. Have another three Ambo points.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25# When you know that you just don't know... #
0:07:27 > 0:07:30That must have been a life-changing moment for the four girls
0:07:30 > 0:07:33but while they were just getting to know each other,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35our next act had been friends for years.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38# I can remember that when I was a little youth
0:07:38 > 0:07:41# I wanted to fly around the world making a new life... #
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule
0:07:44 > 0:07:47both lived on the south coast of England in Brighton.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49# Back when I was younger
0:07:49 > 0:07:53# I wanted to be everything on the planet... #
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Before they hit the big time they were two young boys
0:07:56 > 0:08:00who were both developing a love for music, particularly hip-hop.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02# When I was a youngster...
0:08:02 > 0:08:06It's at this place that Jordan and Harley met, AudioActive.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09If you're an upcoming pop star, this place is amazing.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11It's sort of like a youth club.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You can sing, dance, beatbox, rap,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16which is exactly what I'm going to do.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18We bring it from the darkness
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And we tackle the board like we're using magic markers...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24One of the guys who teaches rap here is Tom.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27He taught Jordan and Harley how to rap back in the day
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and I've caught up with him to get the lowdown on the boys.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35What was your first impression when he saw the boys in the classroom?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I can always remember Jordan as being quite hyperactive
0:08:38 > 0:08:39and very noticeable in the room.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42He was always either arguing or making jokes
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and he wasn't quiet. That's for sure.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Did he just have a big mouth on him?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Very much so, yes. Yes. He was very hyperactive.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52# When I was a youngster, youngster When I was a youngster... #
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Harley was a bit quieter in those days.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57He was always the cooler one, to be honest.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Harley used to rap a lot more than, which might surprise some people.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02He used to be kind of a grime MC and be bang into it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10# Stuck in your pocket in your feathers while you sleep... #
0:09:10 > 0:09:14How do you reckon AudioActive helped shape what they've become today?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17We always really push them to be themselves
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and they kind of made their subject matter very personal and fun,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and just stuck to their true personalities.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I think that's what AudioActive always tries to push.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29People have always got their unique angle,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31it's just trying to pull it out of them, really,
0:09:31 > 0:09:36not try to be something but just being themselves and projecting that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39# Stood in the woodlands gonna set fire to the trees, who wouldn't? #
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Tom, I'm going to cut to the chase. I want in.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I heard there's a class on today. Is there room for one more?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Drop in, everyone's welcome. Yeah, get involved.- Let's get involved.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Get out there, let's go.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54'I've gate-crashed a rap class with wannabe rappers Harry and Blake.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59'This is what Jordan and Harley would've done back in the day.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yo, so sunshine don't compare on darkness
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Rain can go away on the British days
0:10:05 > 0:10:08That we say are a different day from yesterday...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I don't like darkness, it's not my vibe
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'm all about rain, that's why I go outside...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19'Yeah, I might not be destined to become a rap star
0:10:19 > 0:10:23'but it was a different story when Jordan and Harley were here.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25'They clearly had real musical talent.'
0:10:25 > 0:10:29# I said I'm living in a lost generation... #
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Have two Ambo points for rapping from a young age.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38# I've got my heart I found my soul... #
0:10:38 > 0:10:42When the boys turned 16 they got a spot in the fametastic Brit School,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46where the likes of Adele, Jessie J and Leona Lewis attended.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49They were bound for success, right?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Well, not quite.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Jordan got a job flipping burgers
0:10:53 > 0:10:58and Harley went back to school right here to work teaching drama.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59'And I'm going to get the low-down
0:10:59 > 0:11:02'from some actual kids that Harley used to teach.'
0:11:02 > 0:11:04# Check the rhyme and rhythm It's nice and different
0:11:04 > 0:11:07# Plus it's bright and brilliant Kind of how I like my women... #
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Guys, I am so jealous.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Harley was your teacher. What was he like?- He was really funny.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Was he funny?- Yeah, he was. Quite a funny sense of humour.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19In what way? Was he busting out jokes?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Was he just getting involved with everyone?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23He was a lot like he is as you see him on TV.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26No disappointments there. He's just really helpful.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29He'd help you if you needed help and he'd always make it fun.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32What is the kind of things he'd do with you guys in class?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Well, like a lot of the games we're doing now, that kind of stuff.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Directing pieces that we would be working on.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Anything that you do in drama, he would just help you with it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Wow, I wish Harry had been a teacher at my school.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's way cool!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49# Let's skip to the good bit... #
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Alongside their jobs,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Jordan and Harley were both concentrating on their music
0:11:54 > 0:11:58and decided to join forces to form Rizzle Kicks.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02# Yes, Rizzle Kicks, dagnabbit. #
0:12:03 > 0:12:07They used to rap over existing tracks by people like Lily Allen
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and the Arctic Monkeys and then post them online.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Jordan and Harley attracted the attention of record labels
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and, in November 2010, they signed with Universal Records
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and this song hit the big time.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21# Yeah, yeah, get down with the trumpets... #
0:12:21 > 0:12:24# Let's get down with the trumpets
0:12:24 > 0:12:26# Yeah, yeah, let's get down with trumpets
0:12:26 > 0:12:29# Yeah, yeah, let's get down with trumpets... #
0:12:29 > 0:12:31With this track, Down With The Trumpets,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Rizzle Kicks had exploded onto the UK music scene.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And they were like nothing else around at the time.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40They were here to stay.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Have three Ambo points for finally making it to the big time.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48So, let's have a look at the scores after Round One.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Both Little Minx and Rizzle Kicks have some great musical talent
0:12:53 > 0:12:56but Little Mix having the fastest selling single
0:12:56 > 0:13:00of 2011 have put them one point ahead.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02If you don't agree with the result, that's OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Hop online to the CBBC website and have your say.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Now that we know how our stars made it,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14let's check out how hard they've been working since then.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's time for Round Two.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Round two, Pop Success.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26This is all about what our stars have been up to
0:13:26 > 0:13:28to make sure they stay at the top of the charts.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30First up, Little Mix.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35# Ain't got no time for what you think can be described as love... #
0:13:35 > 0:13:38We all know just because you win a music talent show doesn't
0:13:38 > 0:13:41necessarily mean you're going to make it big in the music industry,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but that's definitely not the case for Little Mix.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Not only have they dominated the UK
0:13:47 > 0:13:52but they've also made it big right here in the USA.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55They're the first British girl group to break the American top five
0:13:55 > 0:13:57with their debut album, DNA.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03And for it British girl group to crack America is no mean feat.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It takes a lot of hard work.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What you have to do with America is you have to go over there
0:14:09 > 0:14:11and you have to spend time there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16They've travelled around, gone to all the radio stations over America.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19They spent months there promoting themselves.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22But to see the album go to number one,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26I mean, the girls were just overwhelmed by that. It was amazing.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Making it big in the USA just shows how talented
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and hard-working our Little Mix are.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Take three all-American Ambo points for that one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42But despite all the success, it's not always glam for the girls.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Sometimes Perrie and Jade drive back up to the north-east together
0:14:46 > 0:14:50on the weekend to visit their families. Sounds fun, right?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Well, it's not always plain sailing.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The story goes that, on one such weekend,
0:14:56 > 0:14:57something really funny went down
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and, of course, there's no video footage
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but I can help us out with that.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05"Oh, Per, I'm having so much fun
0:15:05 > 0:15:09"just driving around with you on the weekend, pet.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14"She's asleep. We need more petrol. Perfect, petrol station.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17"While she's asleep I might go and grab some choccies
0:15:17 > 0:15:20"then I won't even have to share them with her. OK."
0:15:20 > 0:15:22"Oh, fuel station. I'm busting.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26"I might quickly go to the toilet."
0:15:26 > 0:15:29"Hey, Per, I got some... Oh, she's asleep in the back.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31"I don't want to wake her up.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34"I'll just eat them and drive really quietly."
0:15:36 > 0:15:39"That feels so much better after going to the toilet.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41"Jade? Jade?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44"Aaah!"
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And it gets worse.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Apparently Jade took three hours
0:15:50 > 0:15:52to realise Perrie wasn't in the back seat,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55so she was stranded at the fuel station for six hours.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I can't believe they're still talking to each other.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I'm not quite sure that's how it happened but it's a good story.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07However, ditching your friend at a service station is not cool, Jade.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I'm going to take off one Ambo point, just because I can.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16# Better watch it, Rizzle Kicks, ha
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What! I'm last on the heaven list
0:16:18 > 0:16:20# Cos I couldn't give a rass what angelic is... #
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Jordan and Harley have been working pretty hard
0:16:22 > 0:16:24since they hit the big time.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26They write all their songs and it wasn't long
0:16:26 > 0:16:28before they were in high demand from the pop glitterati.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31In fact, their first UK number one was when they featured
0:16:31 > 0:16:36on Olly Murs' hit summer single, # Heart skips, skips a beat. #
0:16:37 > 0:16:39# So come on spin me around now
0:16:39 > 0:16:41# I don't want to go home... #
0:16:41 > 0:16:44That's right. It was August 2011
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and the Rizzle Kicks' collaboration with Olly Murs
0:16:47 > 0:16:51shot straight in to the number one spot in the charts.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53# And when you hold me like this,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56# That's when my heart skips, skips a beat... #
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The collaboration with Olly Murs was a real risk for both parties
0:16:59 > 0:17:01but I think it really paid off.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I think a lot of Olly Murs's audience got exposed to Rizzle Kicks
0:17:05 > 0:17:07and saw how good those guys are,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09so they gained more of a fan base from that.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Similarly, I think there were a few Rizzle Kicks fans who said,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15"You know what, he's actually quite a good singer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18"Let me go and see what else he might have."
0:17:18 > 0:17:21# So spin me around now I don't want to go home... #
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I love that summer tune.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Have a couple of Ambo points for some excellent collaborating
0:17:27 > 0:17:29and chart-topping action.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34It's not just Rizzle Kicks who are throwing out some awesome tracks.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Early in 2014 Little Mix released the official song
0:17:40 > 0:17:43for their charity Sport Relief, called Word Up.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47# Word up Everybody say
0:17:47 > 0:17:51# When you hear the call you've got to get it under way... #
0:17:51 > 0:17:54When Sport Relief approached the girls about doing
0:17:54 > 0:17:57a song for the charity, the girls were totally made up.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00That is what they... They really wanted to do it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06They flew over and saw a Sport Relief project,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09which they said was an amazing experience for them,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12and you can see how emotional it was for them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14That's why they became so passionate about wanting
0:18:14 > 0:18:17to do the Sport Relief single and make it as successful
0:18:17 > 0:18:19and make as much money for the charity as they possibly could.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24You can have three Ambo points for singing for such a good cause
0:18:24 > 0:18:28and another Ambo point for releasing another top tune.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32But when it comes to top tunes...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37..Rizzle Kicks have got some killer tracks.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41The best thing about Rizzle Kicks songs is that it's them.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You know, it's their thoughts, their feelings.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46They're not afraid to say anything slightly controversial.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49# Jeremy Kyle got the nation laughing at other people's expense
0:18:49 > 0:18:52# Somebody tell that guy that we hate him, too
0:18:52 > 0:18:54# We are not his friends... #
0:18:54 > 0:18:56They're just willing to be themselves.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59They're an amalgamation of all their influences,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03which is perfect because they really represent modern Britain.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04# Hashtag trend
0:19:04 > 0:19:07# Oi, big brother's in the house now, yeah... #
0:19:07 > 0:19:09They've got so much energy. When you hear one of their songs,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12you just want to get up and dance along to it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14# I wanna dance, I wanna have fun
0:19:14 > 0:19:15# Let me feel the music, yeah
0:19:15 > 0:19:18# I hope you realise how dumb you sound
0:19:18 > 0:19:19# When you call us stupid... #
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It's infectious, it's happy, it's cool.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24They're really, really talented guys
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and their music just makes everybody smile.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29# I want you to feel useless, baby
0:19:29 > 0:19:31# That's right, every bad boy should... #
0:19:31 > 0:19:34But it's not just their music that's making people smile.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37They also invented their own dance for their song Mama Do the Hump,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39and it went viral.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41# Mama, do the hump # Mama, do the hump hump
0:19:41 > 0:19:43# Mama, won't you please let me do the hump hump?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46# Mama, do the hump, Mama, do the hump hump
0:19:46 > 0:19:48# Mama, won't you please let me do the hump hump? #
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Not only was it a massive track,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53getting nearly 13 million hits on YouTube,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55but the dance move was such a hit
0:19:55 > 0:19:58that people up and down the country were busting their humps.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00# Yo, it's been a long week
0:20:00 > 0:20:03# How I've got this much energy is beyond me
0:20:03 > 0:20:05# I just want all of these girls to be on me
0:20:05 > 0:20:08# And maybe even one of them could be Beyonce... #
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Some people can do the hump better than others,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12but you can't beat a bit of a boogie.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Have three Ambo points for creating a killer dance.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20# Mama, do the hump Mama, do the hump hump
0:20:20 > 0:20:22# Mama, won't you please let me do the hump hump? #
0:20:22 > 0:20:24But the points don't stop there.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27They filmed this video at Jordan's auntie's house.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30# Yo, coming in with the sound fresher than cut grass
0:20:30 > 0:20:31# Fun starts
0:20:31 > 0:20:33# Second that we enter if you must ask... #
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And that's his mum lip-syncing the words to the song.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41That is one awesome idea for a music video, boys.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Have two Ambo points
0:20:43 > 0:20:45for keeping it in the family.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47# Ain't over till a fat boy slims, Mama... #
0:20:47 > 0:20:51So, how has all this awesomeness affected their sales?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55# Do the hump. #
0:20:55 > 0:20:56# It's in his DNA
0:20:56 > 0:20:58# D-D-D-DNA... #
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Well, Little Mix have racked up
0:21:00 > 0:21:03around 2.7 million record sales.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04That's pretty good!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Take an Ambo point for that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09But, Rizzle Kicks have sold
0:21:09 > 0:21:10around 3 million records.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's close, but Rizzle Kicks have just got the edge.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19That's two Ambo points to them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20# That I can do nothing
0:21:20 > 0:21:22# But to despise you, girl... #
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Let's have a look at the scores.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Both acts have had some stomping success,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31but Rizzle Kicks are just in the lead
0:21:31 > 0:21:32at the end of Round Two.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35If you've got something to say about this,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37then get on that CBBC website.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Well, it's all to play for
0:21:39 > 0:21:42going into the final round.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46We've seen our stars' pop potential and how hard they've worked at it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49But, now that they've reached the dizzy heights of superstardom,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52let's see how glamorously outrageous they've become.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Round Three, what you got?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Round Three, Pop Style.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04This is all about our celebrities' lives - clothes, cars,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07pets or whatever else they splash their cash on.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10It must be amazing to be a pop star.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You get people who are paid to make you look good.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And, in my mind, no-one looks better than Little Mix.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22# Mama told me not to waste my life
0:22:22 > 0:22:26# She said spread your wings, my little butterfly... #
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Little Mix have a phenomenal style,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31but it doesn't happen by accident.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35No! To find out how they rock their look,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I'm going to chat to X Factor stylist Frank Strachan.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Now, Frank, Little Mix were four individual girls
0:22:42 > 0:22:44and then they got put together on X Factor.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46How does that work in terms of style?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I think, with any band that comes into X Factor,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51they've got a bit of a style already.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But, with Little Mix, they got put together for the show.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56So I think, as a viewer, it was really interesting to seeing how
0:22:56 > 0:22:59they developed across the series, because you could really see
0:22:59 > 0:23:02a band beginning to form and making sense.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And their style really helped to do that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08# She said spread your wings my little butterfly... #
0:23:08 > 0:23:12How much of being in a band is being allowed to be yourself
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and wearing what you want to wear, or going with the band image?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I always think it is important to look like
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- you're going to the same party. - That's a good way to look at it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22So someone shouldn't be overly dressed up.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Someone shouldn't look too casual.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26But it doesn't have to be, you know,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28everyone in pink or everyone in black and white.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It's quite nice, usually, if there's a bit more personality.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35# These wings are made to fly... #
0:23:36 > 0:23:39With Little Mix, you can associate with different members of the band.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I think that helps to create more of their magic
0:23:43 > 0:23:47if one of them is slightly more sporty
0:23:47 > 0:23:50or one of them dresses a little bit more elegantly.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It means that the audience can associate
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and dress like the different girls, rather than thinking,
0:23:56 > 0:23:57"Oh, they're not a band for me,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59"because I wouldn't dress like that."
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Because there is probably somebody in the band that would.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04# No matter what you say, it won't hurt me... #
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Sound's amazing, I am ready to go get my Little Mix on.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Come here, bring it in.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13# These wings are made to fly... #
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Hands down, Little Mix have totally nailed some awesome fashion sense.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Have four Ambo points
0:24:20 > 0:24:22for a trendsetting style.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26# Don't matter if I fall from the sky
0:24:26 > 0:24:29# These wings are made to fly. #
0:24:29 > 0:24:32# Stop with the chit chit Stop with the chatter
0:24:32 > 0:24:34# RK come through to deal with the matter... #
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And, I think it's fair to say, that when it comes to Rizzle Kicks,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40they have a slightly more laid-back approach to fashion.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42# Then punch the air
0:24:42 > 0:24:44# We got a bag of ideas never unprepared
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- # To just stop with the chit chit - # Stop with the chit chit
0:24:46 > 0:24:48# Stop with the chit chit chatter... #
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Rizzle Kicks never look like they've been styled.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53They look like they've crawled out of bed most of the time.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Really helps their image.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56They do seem that they're quite headstrong
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and you have no doubt that they know what they want to wear,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01as well, and nobody is telling them what to do.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03And I think that is incredibly appealing.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08I imagine them, like, that's how they went to school,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12or hung out after school or college, when making their music.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- They're skater boy kind of like fashion.- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- A little bit like Pharrell.- Yeah. - But not as much money.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Not as rich.- Yeah, and without the hat.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Playing it cool, guys!
0:25:22 > 0:25:26You can take two Ambo points for that totally laid-back look.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And it's not just fashion they're chilled out about.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It's also their choice in beverages.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Rizzle Kicks are one of the hottest groups in the UK.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38So what do they like to drink? Orange juice, coconut water,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42green superfood smoothies, maybe a chai latte? Apparently not.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47They love nothing more than a good old-fashioned cup of tea!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's not very showbiz.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51But word on the street is that Jordan and Harley
0:25:51 > 0:25:53go wild for a cup of the good stuff.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59You and me both, boys. I love tea.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Have another Ambo point for keeping it real.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Little Mix on the other hand are going for a slightly more
0:26:09 > 0:26:12serious style with some off-the-hook animal impersonations.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You might've seen this clip online
0:26:15 > 0:26:18but Perrie does a hilarious impression of a goat.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's check it out.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25SHE MIMICS A GOAT
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Thank you!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Have two "goatally" amazing
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Ambo points for a pretty strange hidden talent.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35And this little bit of weirdness takes us to the end of Round Three.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42We're at the end of Pop Slam and it's been heaps of fun.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45But we've still got this bad boy to give away.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46So who has won the Ambo?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Will it be the Rizzle Kicks or Little Mix?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Ohhhh! Let's look back at what we've learned.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54What a Pop Slam it's been.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Little Mix and Rizzle Kicks have proved themselves to be
0:26:58 > 0:27:01totally awesome but very different popstars,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05both having huge success and super cool style.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It really is anyone's game.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Well, ladies and gentlemen,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12it's the moment we've all been waiting for.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The points have been counted and independently verified. By me.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And the winner of the Ambo is...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It's Little Mix! Sorry, guys.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Girls, get in here. I am so proud of you!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Let's take a look at some more of you in action.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35# Let me hear you say it
0:27:35 > 0:27:36# Ladies all across the world
0:27:36 > 0:27:39# Listen up, we're looking for recruits
0:27:39 > 0:27:42# If you're with me, let me see your hands... #
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Hey, Jade, it's Amber. I'm just going to try a five-way call
0:27:45 > 0:27:47between you me and the girls. Two secs.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49OK, you still there?
