JLS + 'One Shot'.

It cannot be helped; I like JLS. I didn't understand the screaming teenage throngs when they first emerged on the X Factor scene, but a couple years later they're still going strong and putting out pleasing pop hits. And that's really all we want in a boy band, right? Oh, and solid abs. They deliver on both counts. Maybe too I'm charmed by pint-sized frontman Aston Merrygold, who has an affable kid next door appeal, like the guy my mom would want to mow our lawn. JB and Oritse, on the other hand, remind me too much of goofy Turk from Scrubs while Marvin, by default, kind of claims the 'bad boy' label (those eyes!). Anyway, their single One Shot from earlier this year.
