ITV news......it's The Beatles all over again because 4 girls were crushed in a stampede....

Poor girls.

Don't like JLS and don't particularly like Beatles either but is it not a bit much to make that kind of comparison?

I love JLS, think they are the best that's left. Wouldn't compare them to the Beetles though coz 4 people got mildly injured......
Saw a bit on the news where the boys were commenting, you can tell they loved it, think they could have sounded a bit more caring about what had happened instead of saying "I hope they get to see us on tour"

moondog · 09/12/2008 22:37

Still have no idea who they are.

IwishIwasaStockingStuffer · 09/12/2008 22:37

I read today what JLS stood for (the initials, not their philosophy on life....) it was Jack the Lad something, can't remember the last word

JLS who??? They are the new Beatles, more popular than God....except they are not, more like Westlife.

littleboyblue · 09/12/2008 22:38

Jack the Lad Swing

princessmel · 09/12/2008 22:38

lol that someone thought moondog was being ironic saying 'jls who?'. She really doesn't know!!

My DH say's they remind him of Teletubbies with all their brightly coloured fun clothing

I wonder what one is tinky winky?

Never heard of them.

Turniphead1 · 09/12/2008 22:43

I have only recently starting watching XFactor and feel it's like watching the Emporer - noone seems to notice that JLS can't really sing very well at all. And neither could Diana. It's really odd - none of the judges seem to say anything about (lack of) vocal ability.

Pan · 09/12/2008 22:44

get with the programme, moonie!!

Habbibu · 09/12/2008 22:44

I have never heard of them either...

princessmel · 09/12/2008 22:46

They are a 'vocal' group and one of the finalists in X Factor

moondog · 09/12/2008 22:47

oH x fACTOR.
No wonder.
Would rather mate energetically with a trio of syphilitic baboons that watch such nonsense.

Pan · 09/12/2008 22:47

such whimsy, moondog.

Wow moondog, you really do hate x-factor

I kinda hate it too but its a 'love to hate it' type of thing, wink wink.

i was delighted to have got to the end of i am a sleb without knowing anyone who was in it

same with x factor - i am with you Moondog

whimsys were fab!

LynetteScavo · 09/12/2008 22:51

JLS are like the Beatles in that noone expected them to be so popular.

Why are JLS still in the competition? They seem like really, really nice guys, but they're not that great at singing.

Hassled · 09/12/2008 22:51

Moondog - they are a popular beat combo.

princessmel · 09/12/2008 22:52

lol hassled
