JLS Strip Down On ‘Xtra Factor’

Mind out the gutter.

The guys JLS kept their clothes on during their performance on last night’s edition of the Xtra Factor on ITV2. What they did dispose of, however, was the autotune and other distractive bells and whistles which more times than not take away from their  live offerings.

Check out their stripped back acoustic version of ‘She Makes Me Wanna’, from their forthcoming LP ‘Jukebox’ below…

Putting aside the fact someone was all the way off on a lot of the harmonies, this was head and shoulders above any performance the guys have staged since rising to prominence.

No where to be found were the cheesy routines or backing tracks which oft drown out the clear potential of the four-piece. In their place, solid vocals and collective confidence. Great performance.

Randomness: Speaking of drowing out, did Aston go Diana-meets-Beyonce on those awesome runs at the end? Solo star in the making.

Your thoughts?

    @yo mama – girl you need serious help. for being an american you sure do use the word faggto freely – as a homosexual. i hate people like you. grow the f*** up

    Yo mama… Yo mama must not have raised you right. I’m American, too. If you even know what Noah’s Arc is then you have some experience in the gay community, because most straight Americans (as well as many gays) have NEVER even heard of the show. Homophobe or homosexual? I’d bet on the latter.

    I like how h*** are sooooo free to hate and bash female entertainers on this site (Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Scherzinger ect.) but when someone hates on JLS and calls them ‘f******’, yall go a** s*** and freak out. WTF is that about??? If you’re gunna jump all over Yo Mama’s back, then yall need to stop hating on the female entertainers as well. Just stop the hate, PERIOD!

    That grape juice is a great site, but recently it harbors a lot of UGLY– Freely hating on artists for absolutely no reason and people spewing utter garbage from their mouths.

    This is basic singing…. basic. JLS will always be basic, and the older they get the less cute it will sound

    THEY ARE ALL FUGLY.

  16. nicegirl November 7, 2011

    I prefer this acoustic version…shows off their voices. Aston is a great singer.

  17. dannyuk November 7, 2011

    jls r as close to perfect as a boyband’s gonna get.
    personality, behaviour, example to kids, etc etc are always overlooked on here.
    plus they sing and dance and put on a great show.
    lighten up people.

  18. dannyuk November 7, 2011

    also, they have huge star quality and are respected by their peers, such as tinie tempah (featued on a song of theirs), florence and the machine, the jacksons, example, etc

  19. antertain November 8, 2011

    Its good how the vocals have progressed especially Marvin (xcept in harmony but will get there).
    Aston runs abit plain BUT he defo a star and has a easy on the ear tone when he sings.

    Still want a little more soul from them like they had when known as UFO (pre-xfactor)
