JLS will eventually be as big as Westlife, according to the group's X Factor mentor Louis Walsh.
The boyband performed with Westlife during the series final on Saturday (Dec 13) and now Louis will be managing them as they prepare for a career in music.
"There is no question about it," Walsh tells the Daily Star. "These boys will have a career in the music industry. They are going to be without doubt the biggest band we have ever had on this show."
JLS made it the very final on the TV contest, but were beaten by winner Alexandra Burke. According to Ladbrokes bookmakers, the band had more bets placed on them to win than any previous act.
Fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue also had kind words to say about JLS, adding: "They are simply amazing. I really love them. The hysteria that has been surrounding them over the last few weeks is very reminiscent of Take That's early days."
"I think there are loads of girls who are going to fall in love with them. I wish them all the luck in the world."
