Reggie 'N' Bollie want to duet with their mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini during 'The X Factor' live final.
The reggae-duo have been trying to persuade the former Girls Aloud singer, 32, to perform one of her hit songs with them for the big finale, held over the weekend of December 12 and 13, at London's Wembley Arena.
Reggie explained: "We've been trying to get it into her head that she should perform with us.
"We would like to do one of her songs because we've got really nice ideas. That's what were are hoping to do."
The lads from Ghana - famed for being on the ITV talent show - have also hinted they'd like to work with 'Get Busy' hitmaker Sean Paul and Jamaican reggae star Shaggy.
Bollie added: "We met Sean and we would like to do something with him. He was a very nice guy. We'd also like to duet with Shaggy."
Meanwhile, Cheryl hasn't just been helping the boys out with their vocals as she's also been mentoring 'The X Factor' finalists on their fashion sense.
Reggie told the Daily Star newspaper: "Cheryl is always giving us tips on what to wear for what occasion. There's been times when we've said we'd like to wear something a bit more gentle and she's like, 'No, you can't do that.' "

Scott Timlin is being lined up for 'Celebrity Big Brother.'
The 'Geordie Shore' lothario - known by his nickname Scotty T - is set to join the upcoming reality TV series as producers hope his good looks, hunky body and womanising ways will stir up trouble among the ladies in the infamous house.
Speaking to the The Daily Star newspaper, a source said: "Scott will liven things up and it will be all eyes on the bedroom when he's around."
The 27-year-old star - who isn't afraid to get down and dirty in the bedroom on camera - isn't the first member of the MTV reality show to step inside the Channel 5 house.
Charlotte Crosby became a contestant in 2013 and went on to win the show, while Ricci Guarnaccio competed last year.
Meanwhile, although Channel 5 have claimed any stars tipped for the show are "pure speculation", several names have been dropped including 'Strictly Come Dancing' beauty Kristina Rihanoff, former 'The Only Way Is Essex' loudmouth Gemma Collins and Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend Koo Stark.
It's also believed axed 'Hollyoaks' actress Stephanie Davis has been offered £200,000 to enter the reality show house, as well as 'Made in Chelsea' hunk Spencer Matthews, who was kicked out of the 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' jungle two weeks ago when it emerged he'd taken steroids.
'Celebrity Big Brother' is set to return to television screens across the nation early next month.

Vicky Pattison wants to quit reality TV for good.
The former 'Geordie Shore' star - who turned her back on the MTV show in 2014 - is keen to shy away from her past projects and, instead, carve out a career in presenting.
Opening up to her fellow campmates on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!,' she said: "When there is too many things going on in my life I get stressed and lose my temper and I have the potential to have a horrible temper, horrible.
"I have to work every day to not lose it, I hate that aspect of self, I hate that side of my personality.
"I'd like to stop doing reality TV. It's not that I'm not grateful for the platform it's given me but I'd like people to know less about me and I'd like to be a TV presenter."
And one person who is no doubt pleased by Vicky's decision to turn away from reality TV is her mother Caroll as she believes 'Geordie Shore' portrayed her in a bad light.
Caroll said of her daughter recently: "I've always been proud of what she has achieved as she's my baby but some of her shows like 'Geordie Shore' have been very hard to watch and discuss with the family as the show required her to drink lots and be argumentative. It wasn't the real Vicky in 'Geordie Shore', it was sometimes uncomfortable viewing."
But for now, despite Vicky's plans, the brunette beauty - who is favourite to win 'I'm A Celeb' - is battling to be crowed Queen of the Jungle when the show wraps up next week.

Olly Murs enjoys winding Simon Cowell up about having no acts left in 'The X Factor'.
The 56-year-old music mogul and show boss has seen all of his contestants in the Overs category voted off the show in recent weeks, and host Olly - who was runner up in 2009 - is enjoying being able to poke fun at his boss live on air.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards, the 'Kiss Me' singer confessed: "This weekend I thought the contestants were fantastic, it was a really good show. It was nice to have Simon as an impartial judge, so he was a little bit more critical which was interesting. Also, for me, it was nice to sort of take the p**s out of him a little bit. Because he's got no acts left!"
The 31-year-old star admitted he'll be careful not to take the jokes too far, however, as he doesn't want to lose his job.
He added: "I'm a bit more respectful because obviously I want to keep my job for next year, [but] to be honest with you I've always been very cheeky and Simon knows that. We had a bit of a laugh on the weekend and I will continue to make a point every week that, 'You have no acts left in the competition', just to wind him up a bit more because I know that deep down Simon really wanted someone in the final so it was a shame."

James Martin hires a plane just to get fish and chips.
The 'Saturday Kitchen' singer can't get enough of the dish served in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire and will resort to any length to get his fix of the calorific meal from his favourite restaurants.
He said: "Heaven is fish and chips from either Trenches or Magpie in Whitby.
"I've got my pilot's licence and have been known to fly myself to Whitby for fish and chips.
"I charter a plane for the day - I don't have my own one, I'm not Simon Cowell! I'd need to cook a lot of bloody omelettes to buy a plane!"
The 43-year-old chef also confessed to having a "phobia" of hot drinks following an upsetting incident as a child.
He said: "My hell is hot drinks - I burnt my mouth as a kid so I have a phobia of them."
Though he enjoys his TV career, James is already planning his retirement.
He told OK! magazine: "My ultimate dream is retiring to a farm in Yorkshire with some animals.
"I sadly lost one of my dogs, Fudge, a few weeks ago. He'd been with me through thick and thin.
"I don't have kids and I don't aspire to have kids either, but Fudge was my soulmate."

'EastEnders' have been given the go-ahead for a £15 million set makeover by planning chiefs.
The Albert Square set, which is based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, will be demolished and made 20 per cent bigger complete with new shops, a high street and a new Walford East Tube station.
According to The Sun, planning bosses have given the green light for the process, which will include characters' houses being built with real brick rather than their current facades.
Officials are said to have asked for the work to be started within the next three years but no exact date has been given.
Changes are being made to the set to keep up with demands of high-definition TV.
Initial plans were announced last year and executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said at the time: "This is a really exciting project and firmly demonstrates the BBC's commitment to the future of EastEnders.
"We have ambitious plans for the show and the new exterior set will help bring those to life and better reflect the East End of London on screen for audiences.
"The bigger and improved set will increase the potential for storylines, increase quality and meet the demands of future technology requirements.
"Crucially, it will provide a greater sense of scale with more locations for our characters to spend time in, opening up new areas and opportunities that haven't been possible before - all of which are in the best interest of our viewers."

Duncan Bannatyne has been voted off 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.
The 'Dragons' Den' star is the sixth celebrity to be voted out of the reality show after Lady Colin Campbell departed the Australian jungle yesterday (02.12.15).
He said: "I thought I would have been out a week ago. It's good fun. I kept saying I was going to win it."
One thing that will be particularly remembered from his time in camp was his rows with Lady C, with Duncan admitting the pair won't be reconciling any time soon.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec after his exit, he added: "There was just some little things; she would start shouting all these [insults] and it was just unforgivable. It was one thing and then another. And Tony [Hadley] would always react when she said something to him. She started on Tony's children and she was getting a bit personal."
On Tony and Jorgie Porter's decision to refuse to be bellboy and chamber maid to Lady C, Kieron Dyer and Chris Eubank, he shared: "It was a group decision but if they had done it, [it would have got rid of a lot of tension]. So now looking back, maybe they should have done it. I don't know. Tony didn't want to do it; but if I was asked, I might have done it. But Jorgie was very tired aswell, it had been a long day."
Having left camp, Duncan is now tipping George Shelley or Vicky Pattison to win.
He said: "Anyone of the six [could win]; they're all great. But my money's on George or Vicky. Vicky's fantastic.
"I think Vicky has got a sort of bad reputation in the media and she's actually a fantastic girl."

Scott Disick is being lined up for 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star - who split from long-term girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian earlier this year - has reportedly been offered a deal worth an estimated £660,000 to enter the reality show house for the upcoming series.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "They want him to open up about the Kardashians because viewers will love it. There's a good chance he'll let slip some juicy details."
Scott, 32, has three children - Mason, six, Penelope, three, and Reign, 11 months - with Kourtney, but she dumped him earlier this year after photographs emerged of him holding hands with an ex-girlfriend.
However, he recently attended the Kardashian family Thanksgiving dinner and is said to be turning his back on his old partying ways in a bid to win Kourtney, 36, back.
Scott is one of a number of other stars being linked to a stint in the reality show house early next year.
Lady Colin Campbell and 'Made in Chelsea' star Spencer Matthews are both said to be on producer's radars following their early exits from 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The rapper Vanilla Ice is also being lined up while disgraced WWE star Hulk Hogan has admitted he would definitely do it if they offered him enough money.

Fleur East has a "special place" in her heart for 'The X Factor's Reggie 'N' Bollie.
The 28-year-old star - who came in second place on the singing contest last year - has confessed the duo are the highlight of the show for her every week.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards at London's One Mayfair, Fleur said: "I've been watching it from the first episode. I'm obsessed with the show. I love Reggie 'N' Bollie. I'm excited every single week to see them. They're from Ghana, where my mum is from as well, so I've got a special place in my heart for them."
The 'Sax' hitmaker also defended show judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini - who is Reggie 'N' Bollie's mentor - after she was criticised for getting up on stage with them during their performance of Fuse ODG's 'Azonto' last weekend.
She said: "You know what? I thought Cheryl was amazing. People don't understand that dance, the Azonto, is massive. For every Ghanaian watching that show, I bet they never expected they would see Cheryl up on 'The X Factor' doing the Azonto. That is history! She doesn't realise she's made history doing that."
