'Can we win it? Yes we can!'

13 Dec 08

The next act to feel festive was JLS.

Aston took the lead vocal on Wham's Last Christmas, and as the screens behind them were transformed into snowed-up windows, plenty of girls watching at home would no doubt be thinking they'd like to cosy up to JLS on a chilly night!

The boys delivered an up-tempo version of the song, complete with big key change and long-lasting note from Aston, ah bless! The whole performance even ended in a whirl of snow.

Dannii had to shout over the top of the cheers of the crowd behind her. She said, "That's amazing. That is my favourite Christmas song, thank you so much. When I saw you guys audition in London not only did we love you in a group, but I instantly could see you here up here in the final. Here you are"!

Cheryl said, "I couldn't have hoped for a better four lads. I think you are fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you tonight".

Simon preened a little, "Remember I did make a prediction that you were going to be the most successful group in X Factor history, and I was right. You are already popstars. You've turned the corner.

Santa must have been sprinkling fairy dust this evening because he ever told Louis, "It was the perfect song choice, Louis, well done!

And mentor Louis, who was all emotional by this point, said "You are a pleasure to work with. Can we win it? Yes we can"!

Have you give your heart to JLS? Let us know below!
