X Factor singer Stacey Solomon has denied rumours that JLS singer Aston has a crush on her. In fact it may be the other way round, as she admitted that even talking to Aston left her flustered.
Stacey told The Sun: “No he doesn’t [fancy me] unfortunately. It’s just a lie otherwise we could just be this celebrity couple.
“I met him the other day when he came to perform on the show. He said, ‘hiya’ and I was like so uncomfortable, I was like ‘hi’. He was a really nice guy.”
JLS singer JB has insisted that contestants don’t need to have a “sob story” to succeed on ITV’s X Factor.
“We never had a sob story and still made it to the final.” He told Metro. “If people are asked about their lives, it doesn’t mean they’re the ones promoting their problems.”
“People have different motivations. It’s just part of why they’re doing it.”
OMG!! It was like the tale of the Ugly Duckling that turned into a beautiful swan when JLS returned to the X Factor tonight. No more matching suits, no more Beatles Medleys (imposed by Louis Walsh), tonight was pure, current talent.
Not only can these boys sing and dance and look mighty fine, they also have a vision for their career and have escaped the trap of former X Factor stars. The one that sees you releasing albums for Mother’s Day then fading into obscurity!
Simon Webbe has said that the X Factor has brought diversity to the music scene, claiming that an all black boyband like JLS would never have been signed without it.
The ‘Blue’ star told The Guardian: “I don’t think an all-black boyband like JLS would have been signed in the days when we were starting out. The X Factor’s great in that way.
Multi-Grammy Award winning group Bon Jovi and The X Factor finalists and double MOBO award-winning JLS are to perform live on The X Factor on Sunday 1st November. The theme of the show will be Rock Week, Jamie Afro will be pleased.

JLS - X Factor 2008
N-Dubz have hit out at X Factor runners up, JLS calling them ‘manufactured.’
The bands both won two awards at this week’s MOBO’s but N-Dubz say theirs were more deserved.
Rapper Dappy told The Mirror: “At the end of the day, they’re a manufactured band…I spent years writing lyrics in my bedroom with no one hearing. Now people are singing them back to me. JLS don’t know what that’s like.
“They just sing other people’s songs. And they were miming.”

JLS - X Factor 2008
JLS have admitted that they wouldn’t want to change anything about their lives.
Bandmember Oritse Williams told Sugar: “While sometimes we miss walking down the street without being completely mobbed, we wouldn’t change this for the world. We wake up everyday smiling!
JLS have expressed their dislike for the new X Factor format, saying that it is too similar to Britain’s Got Talent.
“I watched it and expected to get a weird feeling because we were there a year ago, but I didn’t. It’s a completely different show now,” Aston Merrygold told Gay Times.
“It’s too much like Britain’s Got Talent now,” Ortise Williams added.
Channel 4 has today announced the first acts that will be playing at the inaugural T4 winter music event T4’s Stars of 2009 on Sunday 29th November at Earls Court, London for 19,000 lucky music fans.
Topping off a fantastic 2009, JLS are sure to get the crowd moving as they take to the London stage to wow their ever-devoted fans. They will be joined by long-time T4 favourites Sugababes, who promise a dazzling performance as they join the star-studded event.
Simon Cowell has reportedly offered to help out with next years English World Cup Anthem.
The News Of The World claims that Cowell would like to choose the singer for the track.
An FA source said: “There’s great optimism for the England team after the stunning way in which they qualified for the World Cup. The plan is for the official song to be an absolute show-stopper that will help carry the boys all the way to the final.
An ex-girlfriend of JLS star Marvin Humes has accused him of being a cheat in a pisstake of the boys recent chart topping single, ‘Beat Again’.
The track, titled ‘Cheat Again’, contains the lyrics: “We’ll never get back together/I’m really glad we broke up/Can’t take you back ’cause I know you’ll cheat again, cheat again.”
