Even MORE gossip from our X Factor encounter!

heatworld loved our morning coffee with the X Factor lot today – and kept our ears to the ground for all the gossip… which we can now bring you even more of! JLS couldn’t stop singing (and were crooning away to everyone who’d listen), but thankfully, they’re actually very good. Girlband and Bad Lashes, after a bit of coaxing, also wheeled out some tunes including Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, which, again, was note-perfect. We were definitely impressed. But Girlband were quick to point out they were “better than Bad Lashes”. Ooh! Handbags at dawn! Bad Lashes, however, refused to be drawn on the matter, so we’ll just have to wait and see. JLS talked about their love for (and we quote) “latina goddess” Ruth and her impromptu salsa lessons with Ortise, but while Ruth admits the boys are “gorgeous”, she’s still very much in love with her fiancé Juanma. Ruth and Dan told heatworld about their newly-whitened teeth (“It was like eating ice cream all day,” says Ruth) – which they love, but didn’t love the pain of the ordeal one bit. All the contestants have VERY white teeth indeed, FYI. While the finalists wouldn’t give anything away about what they’ll be singing this Saturday on the first live show, they gave heatworld some hints about what we should expect. JLS told us, “It’s definitely one for the ladies, a classic”, while Alexandra admitted, “I’m taking a risk. I’m not in my comfort zone at all.” Laura said, “I’m singing a song that should inspire women.” We can’t wait for Saturday. Who are you most looking forward to seeing in action?
