Did we need the old JLS?

All this presumption that the world required JLS and now that they are gone, we have to have a replacement for them.

All this 'music is life and death' can only mean you are still very young.

Good news! You do grow out of it.

Sounds like a lovely chap.

I think it was obvious when he was stopped again this year it wasn't any sort of temporary issue, he's very unlikely to ever get a Visa to the US with those convictions on his record

I think they are better vocalists than JLS and they are more like B2K than JLS IMO

Well said, but they aren't even coy about admitting it.

One of Mr Walsh's (many) cliches, is "you could be the next......insert artist of choice......"

There's nowt wrong with any artist admitting their influences, it's part of what makes pop/rock history, everyone without exception stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before them....

But, I think comparisons with earlier acts/artists, are, in the end pointless.

That's what I read - hence my earlier comments. If you do crime you have to put up with the consequences and if it means you cannot enter certain countries then it's your own stupid fault.

i love JLS but rough copy IMO are much much better/ slicker i hope they win, with their third member back in i think they have a brilliant chance and lets be honest they really dont have much competition the judges have picked some right donkeys not good choices at all.

I think they're the best act and a breath of fresh air but they won't win because they don't appeal to he teeny boppers, mums, nans etc, etc.

Don't be suprised if Nicohlas wins the show!!

I hadn't read the above article, but now I have I stand corrected - I was going off what was said when they pulled out last year.

I don't get why they applied again if the issue was conviction related, unless they were hoping judges houses would be in the UK (or in a country where convictions don't matter) as it sometimes has been in the past.

I a huge JLS fan but I actually think Rough Copy are better but can't see them winning as they're too urban/street and don't appeal to the One Direction teen boppers/mums/nans etc, etc.

Hope they get record deal even if they don't win.

Unfortunately, he does have some criminal convictions as he admits in an interview with a newspaper!!

At first, I thought may be B2K but looking at them again reminds me of Jagged Edge - no they are not like JLS

I don't get the hype to be honest, I found them quite dull. The other trio who had all the moves were much better. I was really surprised Rough Copy made it through.

No, they are very different and I am not sure that Rough Copy will make it to the finals.

This years dark horse act imo I just hope the public get them. They are something fresh that the live shows need.

I wouldn't say they are fresh because they are pretty similar to R+B boybands like Shai, Jagged Edge, Next and even Mint Condition and I can see them doing tracks from Jodeci as well.

The other thing I want to add is my concern for them doing different kinds of music on live shows when they are clearly an R+B group - I mean can we really see this group doing heavy metal/rock? I'm not saying it's impossible but it'll probably be outside their comfort zone.

Hardly crimes of the century, except maybe affray but if he got community service it cant be that bad. This is the real world and people deserve second chances. Plenty of US rappers have done far worse.

He could still have work visa problems, but he could easily bypass the visa waiver program if it was a holiday with such convictions.

The guy without the hair that wears caps has an amazing voice.
