Haha I know hes only 16 - but I thought the lyrics was 'is pretty fine' and I think hes allowed to express slight attraction for the female species dont you think? (Hello Diana!)

Maybe after all the Andrew Sachs nonsense they didnt want to offend anyone?

Those are the lyrics for the Jonas Brothers version of the song, which I think is the one he was singing tonight. A couple of other things were changed from the Busted version for the JB one, too.

I didn't understand it esp as his next song "does your mother know" is about an older guy who has met a younger girl!!

I think it's the Jonas Brothers cover version he did. In their full version there are no triple breasted women sadly. They sing some crap about Star Wars.

The Jonas brothers version says "it had outsold Kelly Clarkson" instead of Michael Jackson, which is what Eggo and Busted sang.

So he was doing more of a Busted version actually...

I thought it was pretty odd. I think Jonas Brothers shouldnt have changed the lyrics. If you choose to do a cover, then dont change it. If you dont like the songs content, dont change it. Fair enough if Busted had said something explicit, but pretty fine is inoffensive imo.
I think in this country, people would recognise it as being a busted song as the jonas brothers havent had a hit with it in this country and so people will ask why Eoghan changed the words and that "his" version changed the words

They're a US Christian rock band. They've got a massive following over there with the tweens. I don't think they're that big over here. I wouldn't know who they were if not for the internet as I've never heard anyone talk about them elsewhere here.

An american teen band, who were in camp rock. 3 brothers, and one of them dated Miley Cyrus. Young girls go crazy over them, and have had hits like SOS.

I only heard of them this year haha dont worry.

I stayed at the same hotel as the Jonas Brothers in New York in the summer and there were scores of pre-pubescent girls camped outside the whole time, and when they were due in or out there were thousands. A sodding nuisance it was too. I'd never heard of them before that.

Those are the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers' version and God forbid that the Jonas Brothers should hint at having any untoward urges

Next people will be complaining about Diana being 'The one and only princess'

They almost always change any slightly sexual lyrics on the X-Factor, I was shocked that they left the 'panties drop' line in for Alex when she did Candy Man as it kind of goes against what we've had previously.

That's understandable though.

Saying someone is "pretty fine" however is not something I would have thought needed to be after the watershed
