A four-piece London boyband impressed the judges on this week's episode of X Factor.

Pop hopefuls JLS told Dermot O'Leary that they want to be the first boyband to win the reality show.

JB Gill, Marvin Humes, Oritse Williams and Aston Merrygold, who claimed that their influences include Take That, Boy 2 Men and Westlife, performed a rendition of 'If I Ever' for the four judges.

Cheryl Cole was the first to pass comment, telling the boys: "I love you! I think the industry is missing a boyband and you rule, the vibe is great between you."

Dannii Minogue said: "I like your personalities and it's the first time I like each voice in a group."

Joining the chorus of approval, Louis Walsh added: "I loved everything about it, you're not contrived, you have an early Motown feel to you.

"I thought you were absolutely terrific, great voices, very very happy with you."

Cheryl concluded the discussion, saying: "I hope I get you in my category."
