I like them. I don't really like their material, though. I liked them singing with Alex last night (Alex and Aston's harmony in EIL especially).

I doubt I'll be buying their album any time soon, but I wish them well and if they release a single I like, I'll buy it.

Yesterday made me change my mind on them; I didnt consider myself a fan but I'm going to buy their album tomorrow (hopefully)

Sorry but I think they are complete rubbish.
lets hear them sing live with no props or backing music.
Let them play their own instruments. anyone can sound ok with backing tapes even me.

They were amazing on XF, then went all up themselves and slightly chavvy. I'm not saying being chavvy is a necessarily BAD thing, but the fact that they had to change their appeal/genre grinds my gears.

Alex has also taken a similar route, but isn't up herself.

There was a clip of them doing this exact thing on that JLS Revealed show that was on ITV2, but I can't find it on YouTube. Marvin plays the piano; JB plays the piano, the guitar and the flute & Oritsé taught himself to play the guitar when he was a teenager (as it says in their book.)

Where have you found them to be 'up themselves'? According to all of the stories I've heard from people who've met them, they're lovely & down to earth. Aston has been involved in Beat Bullying working with kids just the other month, and Oritsé has been working with an MS charity (see here) as his Mother was diagnosed with it when he was young.
I also thought it was very sweet of JB to talk about how incredibly Alex was doing rather than themselves, when Dermot spoke to them last night.


It's fine if people don't like their music, but posting about things you clearly don't know (i.e. the instruments) and saying they're arrogant when they've never shown any signs of that isn't fair.

Love them! To be honest I wasn't expecting them to come out with singles and albums as good as they did. And I seriously seriously underestimated their popularity.
I don't understand how anyone can not like them though (hate their music all you want) but they seem like absolutely lovely guys and they always seem so grateful for everything that's happened to them this year.

They're alright. None are amazing singers, even the main one is just ok. They have the image and the moves right so well done to them.

NO! Their songs are crappy and meant for teeny weenies who like repetition.
Nowt wrong with teeny weenies but JLS drive me insane. It's like when you have a 3 year old and they like watching the same DVD hour after hour, day after day, or singing the same song or nursery rhyme ad infinitum.
"The Wheels On The Bus" still invokes nightmares.

Really like them, and always did, they deserve their sucess, and are just nice down to earth guys who had the initiative to form their group and work hard.

They're okay, I don't dislike them. Their songs are pure cheese aimed at 12 year old girls who are in love with them, and I wish the hot one would stop lifting his shirt up every five seconds because it's just tacky.
I wouldn't choose to listen to them, but they seem like nice enough people.

Beat again was good, but this new single is boring.

I think they are going to be like a black westlife.

They are okay. Bit rubbish at dancing. The videos and songs are cheesy but their performance yesterday was really good. They seemed like nice boys during the last series, but since then, they seem a bit like, the fame is getting to their heads.

I love them. I don`t care what a lot of people say they are lovely, talented guys who have worked hard for their sucess and I love their music.

Love them. They are what the X Factor is all about. Giving unknown's the chance to show what talent they have. And they really do have talent.
I wouldn't mind Santa leaving me JLS's album in my stocking this Christmas.
