The X Factor 2016: Are 5am the band to beat? Viewers hail trio as ’the best EVER’
IN THE absence of One Direction and JLS, there’s plenty of room for the next pop phenomenon, and according to X Factor viewers on Twitter, that accolade will almost definitely go to the effortlessly cool 5am.
Drowning in swagger and with impeccable voices to match, Nathan, Kieran and Jordan absolutely nailed their first audition in front of the judges, breaking out into the biggest-selling single of the year?? One Dance.
Unsurprisingly, pound signs lit up in Simon Cowell’s eyes and his co-judges Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh were equally as awe-stuck by the painfully talented troupe.
“I really wasn’t expected it to be that good, that slick. And you looked like you were having fun so we were having fun too,” enthused Louis.
Sharon followed: “It was so well prepared, so easy on the eye - it was great!”
One more enthused: “5am has gotta be one of the best auditions this year so far.”
“Mate I LOVE 5am!!!! Smashed it!!!” cried another, before former X Factor star Fleur East added: “Oooo! I really like these boys! 5AM are exciting!”
The X Factor continues tomorrow night at 8pm on ITV.
