Addictiv Ladies
Song: Missing You (Original)

'Addictiv Ladies' are Stephanie Yamson, Vivienne Umeh (pictued above)  plus Nicola Owusu-Akontoh and Fleur East (pictured below), all just 17 years old and hailing from Walthamstow. The 4 girls have been best friends since their nursery days.

They strut into the audition room and really grab the panel's attention by spelling their signature in pleasing 4 part harmony. The girls really look the part; young, vivacious, bubbly and cute.

Simon says 'No', but happily for the ladies their strong first impression still counts with Louis and Sharon. They may not be totally addicted yet, but they see great potential in the vocal group and seem to believe that with a little fine tuning 'Addictiv Ladies' may well put East 17 back on the musical map!

Panel-Bites:

Kate Thornton:  (Pre-audition) How are you feeling about going to meet the judges today?

Nicola:  Excited.

Fleur:  Really, really excited.

Nicola:  Really excited... but like nervous, but at the same time... yeah... nervous and excitement.

Addictiv Ladies enter the audition room singing in 4 part harmony...

"Bringing you the, bringing you the, bringing you the,
bringing you the A-D-D I-C-T I-V - ADDICTIV ,
Don't you know who we be?
Makin' our dreams a reality.
Bringin' you a flavour you ain't never seen!"

Simon Cowell:  Now that is an entrance!
