X Factor 2008: JLS

JLS - X Factor 2008

JLS - X Factor 2008

UPDATE: FOR ALL THE LATEST NEWS AND GOSSIP ON JLS CLICK HERE

X Factor has been lacking in good singing groups for years now. Probably since G4 took second place in the shows final way back when.

However, all this may be about to change with the appearance of 4 piece boyband JLS.

JLS consist of four young men, aged 20-23, who have the most beautiful soulful voices I have heard in a long time.

In their London audition at the O2 arena, they performed a fantastic arrangement of ‘If I Ever’ originally by East 17.

The judges loved them and suddenly it becomes clear why some of the mentors have been trying their best to get their hands on the groups category this year.

  103. tari says:

    JLS, work hard together as a group and strengthen your bond. Concentrate 2 make yourselves better in every way and hopefully we will see more of you in the future. So many hateful and hurtful bitter people out there and the only way you can succeed and not be affected by what the haters say is by being at the top of your game. And remember, there are no short cuts in life, work hard. And the best success is that which is shared. Don’t get greedy and remember u r a group, not individuals when singing. Support each other and gain strength from eachother and family. Really wish you the best and good luck. The competetion is just starting. You won a battle,and there are more. Good luck. Your all gorgeous, no exceptions. xx

  104. tari says:

    Hi boys, you have to work harder than you ever have and always aim to get better and not less. People will write alot of crap about you but there are people who genuinely love you and support you. Give us your best and do the best you can and always aim to learn. There’s good and bad criticism but am sure you will tell the difference. Things will not always be easy but keep up. love you

  105. karis says:

  107. tari says:

    TAFADZWA, i dont think they need 2 go back 2 xfactor next year. they have already shown their ability and hopefuly will get signed. They have 2 move forward and not backwards. Am sure you wrote that with the best of intentions but it’s not practical.
