JLS, who shocked fans yesterday by pulling out of T4 on the Beach, have defended their use of autotune.

The group explained to BANG Showbiz that they're simply part of a digital generation and instead of attacking artists who employ the use of technological effects such as vocoders or autotune, people should embrace the change:

"Music has moved forward in such an amazing way, and we are in a new school generation and that generation, stuff like music effects, auto tune and sampling is part of that."

"If you get critics come and see the show, we can sing it live, so what's the problem, so it's kind of pointless for them to criticise."
