Gary Barlow stated that their tunes were flat, but the other three judges believed in District 3, and have encouraged them to work harder to stay in the competition.

With the theme of the show, “Love and Heartbreak”, the three young boys looked adorable and “innocent” that Judge Nicole Scherzinger said something about somebody rubbing baby oil in their bodies, so they could sing the song “like they mean it.”

Judge Louis Walsh and Tulisa were also supportive of District 3.

Is District 3 the new “One Direction” band?
