Epic

Rating: 2.5/5

You already know what this sounds like. JLS, the they-seem-like-nice-boys losers (though probably, in the long run, winners) of the last X Factor, are being carefully slotted by Louis Walsh into a lucrative gap in the market. There hasn't been a British R&B boy band of any note since MN8, and the JLS project is being pitched with maximum safety and minimum risk. Which means vocoder intros, Primark-friendly melodies and pained, fist-clenched over-emoting, facilitating the fantasy that JLS could be singing to you, yes you.
