Union J are In:Demand

Josh, JJ, Jaymi, and George came to In:Demand Towers to speak to Alex James about life after the X Factor, what they would do for a #1, and the glamour of shooting the music video for their single Carry You. Alex asked the guys how it's been since their rise to fame on X-Factor, "We're the first act from last year's X Factor to release a single so we thought that would be the best way forward. We've done everything quickly but we've made sure everything's been done well. The album is 75% done.", they said. Speaking about the making of the video for their single Carry You, they said, "It was good, we filmed it in Nottingham and it was freezing, it was snowing. If you look back on the video at JJ's bike scene you can actually see snow settled on the ground, that's how cold it was. It was good fun though. "There was a lot of erect nipples, they're always great to have on music videos. They make it a little bit more interesting. We've been promised an LA video next!" The guys have previously said that they would do anything for a number one. "I've already vowed to bath in beans if we get to number one". Alex showed them Olly Murs' picture from when he promised to pose naked if he reached the top of the singles chart. "That's technically not naked" the guys said. "How is he holding that hat up?! I'm not sure we'll get naked, I don't think people want to see it. I don't think we'll have a group of girls if they see that, clothes are very forgiving. But I think we'd do most other things!" When Alex asked if George would stay hand-cuffed to Caroline Flack for a month while wearing a Sombrero, he said "I'd do that without a number one!" The guys will be releasing a book and an annual later on in the year. Alex asks what kind of stuff we can expect to read in them when they're out. "Through the X Factor we had a massive rollercoaster of a journey so this goes a little bit more in depth about our feelings throughout, about our past, our family, our friends and stuff, so it's really exciting." On the X Factor Judge line-up for this year, they said, "We love Tulisa, we're still in contact with her and she's been a massive supporter of us and she was on the show but Sharon's back and she's the Queen of X Factor." they said. "It's so weird because a year ago on Monday was when we went for the auditions so it's really unusual looking back and knowing that it's starting again. To hear this and more of what the guys would do for a #1 single, hit PLAY now. Check out Union J's video for Carry You below: Union J - Carry You on MUZU.TV.
