Collabro are "shocked" by comparisons between them and One Direction.
The five-piece group - consisting of Michael Auger, Jamie Lambert, Matt Pagan, Richard Hadfield and Thomas Redgrave - are happy to be known as a boy band but were surprised to hear they were being likened to the 'Best Song Ever' band when they appeared on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
Michael said: "I was actually shocked when everyone was comparing us to One Direction. I actually supported One Direction when they came third on 'The X Factor'.
"So it's quite cool to be known as a boy band, but obviously with the Il Divo twist that we're kind of putting forward as well. I think that's our style - musical theatre meets pop and a bit of opera as well."
Collabro won 'BGT' in June despite being a band for just one month before auditioning for the show.
The group admit that they almost didn't try out for the ITV talent competition as they initially planned to go for cruise-liner auditions together.
Appearing on Richard Madeley's BBC Radio 2 show, Jamie explained: "We were going to go for the cruise ships and more corporate stuff and then we thought, 'Why not?' Then a few days before the first audition we sang through 'Stars' and we thought we have to do ['Britain's Got Talent']."

Idris Elba is in talks to join the cast of 'King Arthur'.
The 41-year-old actor is believed to have entered into negotiations with Warner Bros to play a wizard-like figure and mentor to Arthur in the retelling of the medieval legend.
The film - which also has Guy Ritchie attached to direct - will be written by Joby Harold and produced by Akiva Goldsman and Tory Tunnell.
It is believed casting directors are set to offer Elba the role imminently, while test offers for the role of Arthur will be sent out to actors in the first week of August.
Meanwhile, the 'Luther' star - who is set to appear in 'No Good Deed' opposite Taraji P. Henson , 'The Gunman' with Sean Penn and will voice Shere Khan in Disney's remake of 'The Jungle Book' - recently directed a short film for a track produced by Dutch DJ R3hab.
The actor chose to work on the promo for the song 'Unstoppable', featuring Eva Simons, to tackle the topic of bullying through a six-minute video, set in the 1970s, which features a group of teenagers on a school bus, outlining 'the nerd', 'the lads' and the popular girls, who are all in different social circles.
Idris, who has also achieved success as a DJ, said: "When I first heard the song I really loved the idea of being unstoppable ... it's self belief, its someone that just says, 'Guess what? I can do anything I want to do'."

Cher Lloyd wants to confront Louis Walsh after he called her a "a spoilt child".
The 'Sirens' singer - who shot to fame after competing on UK TV talent series 'The X Factor' in 2010 - has hit back at her former show colleague after he labelled her difficult to work with when she appeared on the competition aged 16.
She told Digital Spy: "It's something I find very strange, especially from an older gentleman against a young girl. "But I'm much older and much more experienced, so it would be good to have a conversation with him now.
"To make a comment about someone you worked with two or three years ago who was 16 years old at the time, it was a little bit unnecessary. I must be on his mind. Bless."
Luckily for Louis, 61 - who has appeared as a judge on 'The X Factor' since 2004 - Cher insists she "never" holds a grudge against her critics.
She explained: "It's nice to see that people aren't getting stuck in the past. I feel the same with people I've met... that have really been quite harsh and forceful and a bit mean to me. I've seen them for the person they are now and the way they are treating me. I never hold a grudge.
"It's so much easier for me now because I feel if you're a happy and content person, there is no reason to be on the defensive."
Meanwhile, Cher also admitted she will return to watching the ITV singing competition now her former mentor, Cheryl Cole and show boss, Simon Cowell, have returned to the judging panel.
She said: "Thank God for that. I will be watching this time - I can't say that I was majorly tuned in before.
"I really do feel it has been missing those judges. Their ratings will be up sky-high as soon as those two came back. The show hasn't been the same without Simon and Cheryl."

Rachel McAdams was "in awe" of Lindsay Lohan.
The 35-year-old actress - who appeared with Lindsay in the hit high-school comedy 'Mean Girls' in 2004 - rubbished rumours that the 'Freaky Friday' star was intimidated by her on set and admitted she was impressed by Lindsay's comedic acting ability.
She told Allure magazine: "If anything, I was in awe of her talent.
"I looked at her as this experienced actor, and she had great comedic timing, so natural. It's just funny to hear that because you never know what people are thinking. We all try to act like we've got it together."
Meanwhile, Rachel - who also stars as Ryan Gosling's love-interest Allie Hamilton in the drama 'The Notebook, and in the psychological thriller 'Red Eye' - is hoping that taking on a variety of roles will help her to achieve a "complicated" career.
She explained: "I'm hoping it's going to be complicated and have lots of dead ends and corners and sharp turns. I hope it can't be summed up too easily when I'm done."
'The Notebook's' director, Nick Cassavetes, recently opened up about the difficulties surrounding Ryan, 33 and Rachel's relationship, as they struggled to get along on set.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' star even asked Nick to find someone else to play his on-screen partner during filming because of his lack of chemistry with her.
However, rather than giving up on the pair - who later dated on-and-off for four years - Nick decided to set up an impromptu therapy session.
He told VH1: "We went into a room with a producer, they started screaming and yelling at each other. I walked out ... I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, 'All right let's do this'. And it got better after that, you know? They had it out.
"I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open."

Ronnie Wood is "up for" having another child.
The 67-year-old rocker - who already has eight grandchildren and three grown up kids Jesse, Tyrone and Leah, from past relationships - and his 36-year-old wife Sally Humphreys have been discussing starting a family of their own and the Rolling Stones guitarist thinks having a baby would keep him young.
Asked if she wants to have children of her own, Sally said: "Yeah, I do. There's no plans but there's no non-plans, if you see what I mean. As time ticks on, I would like children. I don't know if I will but I would like them, and if not then I feel lucky to have little people around me anyway.
"Obviously [Ronnie and I have] spoken about it quite a lot, and you can ask him and his response would be, 'Well, that would be nice.' He's up for it. He's got a lot of friends that are older who have younger children and they all say it's fantastic and it keeps you young. I do think that would be wonderful, but I don't know if it will happen. I hope so."
Sally admits she "wishes" there wasn't such a large age gap between herself and her spouse, but she knew she had to accept the difference if she wanted their relationship to work.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "He's on my level completely. He's a very nice and caring person. Oh God, don't use the word 'nice', it's so boring. He's very funny, kind and affectionate and welcoming.
" I know [the age gap is] there. And I wish it wasn't, but it is. I think I had to say, 'I can't do this because of the age', or I just had to let it go and take it all on board. At no point, years ago, did I say to myself: 'I think I'll go out with someone twice my age', but that is what has happened."

Zoe Saldana had green snot coming out of her nose while shooting 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
The 36-year-old actress went through a gruelling five-hour makeover every day for five months to play green alien Gamora in the new Marvel movie and she says the make-up caused havoc with her daily routine.
She told 'Access Hollywood': "I had green on my pillows and in my [bath] tub. I'd blow my nose and I was like, 'Oh my God, when is this going to stop coming out of my lungs?' It was just crazy."
Zoe even admits she nearly turned down the big budget movie because she was too "impatient" to go through the make-up process.
She added: "That was the canker-sore of the role and it almost made me say no. It was going to be gruelling and I'm very impatient, I can't sit still, so I thought I was going to drive everybody crazy."
After going through a taxing physical transformation each day, Zoe found it difficult to then go on set for a full day of filming as she was already exhausted.
She explained to Asia's TODAY show: "Because it was four to five hours of make-up everyday, by the time you got to set, you felt like you'd worked a full day. I think the first month was the hardest."

German DJ Paul van Dyk has slammed artists who all "sound the same".
As a pioneer of the electronic dance genre, the musician has spoken out against DJs who copy each other and thinks they all sound indistinguishable from one another.
Talking to Radio.com, the Grammy Award-nominated DJ vented about the situation, explaining: "The problem I see, let's call it 'EDM soup', it's all sounding the same. It's like, I'm pretty sure even fans of this music can't say, 'This is the new track by this person' or, 'That new track by that person', because they all sound the same.
"I don't want electronic music to die once the EDM hype is over. This music is there to stay forever, therefore we need to focus on artists who made music that lasts longer than three minutes on the radio."
The 42-year-old DJ also expressed his frustration with DJs who are too reliant on technology to do their job for them, although Paul does admit that he currently has a large amount of kit to assist him when doing a gig.
He said: "When I'm playing now, I pretty much have a recording studio with me onstage. I have keyboards, computers, custom made mixers, a lot of controllers that enable me to be really interactive and actually play things,
"I prefer maybe me pressing the wrong key at some point and still be able to be live than everything being programmed and you just put the USB stick in the CD player, press play and then [wave your hands]. That has nothing to do with what electronic music means to me and the real followers of electronic music."

Dwayne Johnson says Hercules would "knock Superman into next week".
The 42-year-old actor stars as the Greek hero in the Brett Ratner film of the same name and claims his character would definitely win in a fight against comic book superhero Superman.
Quizzed on who he thinks would win in a fight between his Hercules and 'Man of Steel' star Henry Cavill's Superman, he told Digital Spy: "I know Henry very well, he's a buddy of mine, and who would win in a fight between Hercules and Superman? Just to be clear, you're talking about my Hercules against Henry's Superman? [Yes].
"I would take my club and I would knock Superman into next week and then I would whoop his ass for leaving. That's what I would do."
The 'Fast & Furious 7' actor went on to insist that Hercules is the original and best superhero as he doesn't hide behind a disguise.
He explained: "I think at his core, the idea and the notion that he accepts who he is ... he accepts the man who he was born to be. I think that type of notion is profound to all of us whether we're men or women.
"But it's that power that we have ... the most powerful person you can be is yourself and it takes us a long time to get there and in this case it's taken Hercules thousands of years, but he still got there."

Cheryl Cole celebrated her surprise wedding with a second party in London last night (21.07.14).
The 'Call My Name' hitmaker threw a private bash at The Library Members Club for friends and family following her and her beau Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini's small wedding in Mustique on July 7.
Cheryl's former bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts were seen entering the plush building, as was her mother Joan, before food from La Roche restaurant was carried into the venue.
An onlooker told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There was lots of pitta and dips. It looked delicious."
Cheryl announced she had tied the knot with the French hunk last week after posting a photograph of her sparkling engagement ring and wedding band.
She wrote alongside the Instagram snap: "I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news... Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14.. We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.. (sic)."
The pair began dating just three months ago and went public with their relationship at the Cannes Film Festival in May before moving in together at Cheryl's luxury mansion in the UK last month.

Zach Braff doesn't want a famous girlfriend.
The 39-year-old actor - who once dated Mandy Moore - doesn't want to have another high-profile relationship because he hates how paparazzi "hound" him.
Speaking to Howard Stern on his radio talk show yesterday (21.07.14), he said: "I don't want to date the super-famous girls. Remember I did that once before when I dated Mandy Moore, and I didn't like it.
"When you date another famous person that's when they really hound you. That's when the paparazzi are outside your house and that's when you can't ride your bike through Manhattan because they follow you."
Meanwhile, the hunky star called time on his five-year relationship with girlfriend Taylor Bagley in April, but the former couple have remained friends since.
The actor's representative confirmed at the time: "Zach and Taylor broke up over a month ago. They are continuing their friendship but are no longer a couple."
It is believed the pair split up as the beauty wanted to get married and Zach wasn't ready to settle down.

Charlie Sheen's fiancée reportedly wants an "over-the-top wedding".
Brett Rossi is trying to persuade the 'Anger Management' star to hire a celebrity wedding planner for their big day in Autumn, but he's reportedly starting to get fed up of her demanding attitude.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "This wedding will be over the top, but Brett is being an absolute nightmare to deal with. She truly has become a real diva and no one likes dealing with her."
The upcoming nuptials will be Charlie's fourth trip down the aisle, while Brett has only been married once before, but she's adamant this time will be better than the last.
The source explained: "[Expect Brett] to wear a custom couture wedding gown, nothing off the rack for her! This will be very different from Brett's first wedding."
Meanwhile, the loved-up couple have invited Charlie's ex-wife Brooke Mueller, with whom he has five-year-old twins Max and Bob, to the lavish event.
Charlie, 48, and Brett, are keen for Max and Bob to have a role in their big day and are planning on giving them "special gifts" to help them fit in to their new family.
Charlie proposed to his 24-year-old girlfriend during a trip to Hawaii in February, but their wedding was put on hold while Brett finalised her divorce from her first husband, Jonathan Ross.

Kanye West claims he's a "blowfish".
The 37-year-old rapper - who has hit the headlines on numerous occasions for allegedly attacking paparazzi - claims he's not as bad as people make out and he only attacks when he feels threatened by something.
Speaking in the new issue of GQ magazine, he said: "I don't have fangs. I'm a porcupine. I'm a blowfish. Like, I'm a -- what's that fish that blows up? Yeah, I'm a blowfish. I'm not a shark, I'm a blowfish ... I'm defending my name as someone's screaming something negative at me. That's a blowfish. People have me pinned as a shark or a predator in some way, and in no way am I that. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone. I want to defend people. I want to help people."
The hunky star - who has 13-month-old daughter North with his wife Kim Kardashian - admits he felt the need to defend himself in order to gain respect from others.
He explained: "My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family.
"I don't care what your job is, you're not gonna talk down to me, you're not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I'm a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened."
