" Like The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud and all great girl bands before them, Little Mix have reached a point of success in their career where the time has come to release a single for charity. They&amp;#039;re often a tricky thing to negotiate, but in their case it&amp;#039;s for this year&amp;#039;s Sport Relief, which doesn&amp;#039;t have the strongest record of decent releases - &amp;#039;Some Girls&amp;#039; by Rachel Stevens being the obvious exception in 2004. Little Mix have opted to cover Cameo&amp;#039;s 1986 hit &amp;#039;Word Up!&amp;#039; for the occasion; a track that has previously been reworked by the nu metal rockers Korn and Spice Girl Mel B, whose surprisingly decent version was overshadowed at the time due to her temporary re-brand as Melanie G. And while Little Mix&amp;#039;s rendition was never going to be a game-changer for them, the sassy vocals and watertight harmonies mean they carry the whole thing off with ease.
