The Sun newspaper is reporting today that they have an “exclusive first glimpse” at the girl group Kandy Rain who have apparently wowed the X Factor judges so much, they’re already being tipped for a place in the coveted final.

The girl band, comprising Azi Jegbefume, Khatereh Dovani, Coco Lloyd and Chemmane Applewhaite are being hailed as “the UK’s version of Pussycat Dolls.”

An ITV source is quoted in the paper as saying, “Kandy Rain are one of the most professional bands the judges have ever seen.

“They were impressed by their singing and blown away by their dancing and image. It could be the first time a group has won the competition.”

Chemmane, a dance teacher from Basingstoke, told The Sun that meeting the other band members as London’s X Factor auditions had “changed” her life.

“These girls are my soul mates” she said, adding, “We will show determination till the end.”

Another band member, Azi, said, “With Kandy Rain, it fits like a glove. The chemistry between us is so real.”

And on the subject of fellow band members, Chemmane, Coco and Khatereh, Azi said, “They’re like my sisters and I love them.”

We’ll get to see Kandy Rain for ourselves when X Factor begins later this month.
