They can write their own music. Below is their self-penned song.

Also, check out this version of 'beautiful girl/stand by me', which is better than the one they performed on x factor.

So why are we so ignorant? Why don't we know how talented they are?
Why do we need you to tell us and why do only you know these things and no one else?

Surly any talent that they have should be shown and used on the show and we judge that. That is how it works.

Easy easy! I don't think the poster meant it like that, and they're only new judging by their number of posts so far, so let's be nice.

I think the thread title was just to attract viewers.

Of course we know they're talented, but videos like those give people opportunity to see more of them and hear their individual voices.

All the contestants usually perform for less than 2 minutes on the show anyway, so it's always nice to see additional videos.

Actually JLS aren't my cup of tea (I'm not into boy bands, pop and RnB) but it's not only JLS's case that their writing ability wasn't shown on X Factor or that their none X Factor performances were better. IMO this show destroys all individuality in people and is completely against real musicians. It's only a machine to create a generic pop stars, that's all.

They probably are, but given the low level of opinion I have on them currently, this would not be hard to achieve. If any of them even sound alright singing in the shower this would be more talented than I think.

Correct. It has never been about the music or the talent. Bottom line: Money. End of.

if only they had done some more modern songs and people would rate them more highly, this week they did 00s songs and were good...but those weeks doing old middle of the road rubbish may still harm them in the final.

Totally agree. X Factor sucks the individuality out of the artist, rakes in as much cash in the first few months...then dispose.

I love JLS , and every little thing they do. They seriously have somthing speacial. I love everything about them.

I loved their audition , with there pastel colours and their little hand movments while they were singing.

I loved their bootcamp , with there colours , and at the begining of ' aint no mountain high' they were all in a circle , clicking their fingers before they started singing. Aww.

I loved them at Louis house , with their yellow and purple look , and how excited they all were.

I loved week 1 , how they had great chemistry on stage and well i could really go on forever , but i just love everything about them !



JLS TO WIN , they really do deserve it !

As I have found out, there are a *couple* of Rachel fans who are very bitter towards JLS (and even towards a couple of their fans!) purely because they got picked to stay over Rachel, who was booted out.

It is not considered that Rachel was in the bottom two no less than 3 times, so she was not what the public wanted.

JLS have got talent, and the further they go on in their career, the better they will get and I would love to see them performing their own material.

I am not a "boyband" person - never have been. I am in my forties and have four children - the oldest is 20, but I have liked JLS since the beginning, and I don't know why because it is out of my character!

My music taste doesn't even fit their range - I love Afro Celt, Bob Marley, Newton Faulkner, Marillion with a bit of Snow Patrol thrown in.

They do have something about them - can't put my finger on it, but it is deffo there!

They're shocking & gimmicky. Only one of them can hold a tune, and he's highly annoying to listen to when he breaks into his terrible little "improv" sections. The other three are often submerged under the backing singers.

2/10. Should have been out after Girlband.

But it also gives people the chance to fullfill their dream - if they are good enough, it will happen, they won't be dumped and they will manage to sustain their level in the industry - ala Leona Lewis, and to an extent, Shane Ward.

Leona Lewis has reportedly earned 20 million since x factor, and even turned down a million to open the Harrods Sale (because they sell fur)

That is not bad going in just over a year! When you get offered a million just to open a store sale, you know you have made it - I doubt very much she would be doing what she is doing today without the xfactor!

This is exactly why I made the thread. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's frustrating when people diss them because they think only one of them can sing. I was hoping those videos might change some people's minds...

They're not great singers, any of them. Not particularly good performers. All ordinary looking. Just four ordinary guys with ordinary voices. Nothing to write home about and certainly nothing to vote for.

Hear! Hear! See Eton Road, Austin Drage (check out those vids on YouTube of him before the Xfactor) and .... Leona! Xfactor is a curse!
