91Èȱ¬

Soooo did you get told off for not being 91Èȱ¬ corp enough or something?

4 stars seems a bit generous giving the review!

I prefer the tribute band, Poisondwarfer.

I hope JLS and their ridiculously toned torsos disappear of the face off the Earth!

My love of JLS suffers due to copyright restrictions.

pure 90's american cheese. it amazes me how some people say "they've done well considering they didn't win x factor and didn't have the hype." knock yourselves out. they've had more hype than anyone else i can think of in the last few years, every single time i turn on a tv or radio, it's nothing but JLS songs, guest appearances, and promotion.

they got their fame from x factor, and in doing so they've gained an army of fans consisting of hysterical 10-year-old girls who worship them like gods and think they are 'well fit innit' and think everything they do is 'amazing'. so of course, JLS have taken the easiest route to commercial success possible, by having an image aimed directly at them - the cheesy songs and lyrics, the silly dancing etc. so obviously their screaming fans will go wild about their songs and sadly get them to no.1.

it's astonishing that a group of grown-up lads would want to release songs so unbelievably cheesy and childish like this one, and do such cringeworthy dancing with it - but i suppose it goes to show that they don't have any passion for music, they will just do whatever will sell records, by becoming just another manufactured, packaged boyband aimed at young girls. yet another load of chart rubbish we can thank x factor for.

Whoa that a bit of a rant kutox1 :p Though I pretty much agree lol.

I think Diana and Ruth need to release their albums. Those two have real talent.

well, the truth had to be said :) it's just a shame that no-one in the music world seems to have the balls to speak up about it.

Kutox1, me and you are going to be friends! I despise JLS too, let's set up a JLS hate site lol!

yeah great idea lol ;) nah i don't hate them personally, they seem like decent lads, but i just can't stand the ludicrous amount of hype, radioplay and promotion they are constantly getting, it's almost completely unavoidable.

and why? someone please tell me what's so amazing and unique about them that warrants it all? they've only had 2 songs, which are both just average cheesy pop records. it just proves they are living off the x factor hype. how else would they be getting all these gigs? and how else would Beat Again (and probably EIL too) get to no.1?

i could say so much more but i'll stop there!

Haha, I don't really hate them either! They seemed like decent lads on The X-Factor but ever since they've just been releasing cheesy pop records and showing off their bodies at every chance they get! I think they've become incredibly big headed with their fame!

I do vomit a little bit, into my mouth, every time I hear the intro to this.

Does anyone else think it would be nice to have a number one that's not to do with X-Factor this week?

Ditto, harrythedog10!

Finally I've found like-minded people! I want to know how X Factor and all its equally pants predecessors have managed to infiltrate every corner of the chart! Cheryl Cole, whilst incredibly hot has managed to get to number 1 in both charts via whatever "music" based reality style gameshow Girl's Aloud were spawned from, we've got JLS releasing their own god-awful, makes-you-want-to-puncture-your-own-eardrums crap. Alexandra Burke is currently bringing out her own pop/r'n'b hybrid and no doubt Leona Lewis will be back soon to bore us all with yet another "ballad" while people keep going on about her "amazing voice" and not about her lack of personality or her similarity to fellow amazingly annoying ballader (It's a word!) Mariah Carey.

I'm getting close to the point where if someone told me I had to watch X Factor or go through water torture I'd have to think about it for a while.

All I'm saying is, someone stop letting Simon Cowell make programmes! It's all his fault!

yeah my hate for JLS is more to do with hating x factor in general, but i still can't stand them.

what really p*sses me off is how Cowell blatantly uses the show to give almost every single contestant from the show their own 'comeback' appearance on x factor, with the sole purpose of sponging sales from the gullible viewers of the show - whether they have won the show or not (i.e. Rhydian, Same Difference).

anyway, this is a nice little group here isn't it? :)

We are a nice bunch of friendly people ain't we kutox lol. I'd like to think we're speaking out for the majority of the nation but its probably more likely that I'm just a bit grumpy.

You're totally right about the 10 year olds though, I think we need more people with a clue about decent music working in places like HMV, then when they come in to buy rubbish music, they can be banned until their taste improves and this evil is purged from our airwaves. Same with iTunes, if anyone works for them, put some sort of error message on there when people try to buy any X Factor related tripe that says "Apologies, this song is currently too awful to be heard by humans, please pick something else".

replying to post 15. Leona Lewis has got a new song out called 'Happy' it's nothing special but you can probably find it on Youtube. Sadly it's pretty much guaranteed to get to number 1, but in my opinion there are rarely any good number 1's.

Remember that episode of Friends, where at the beginning bit before the opening titles they walked into Central Perk and there was a group of people on the sofa? That's kind of what this thread is like.

(Fraser, I guess that makes you Gunther?)

Why do most singers use this word called love, when there are other words in the dictionary?

THE ! GROOVY ! GROUP ! ®

Probably because the other words aren't relevant to what they're singing about, Steve. Since they want all the people in love to put their hands up, substituting the word "love" with "jeans", "Macedonia", "jail", "therapy", "advertising" or "flames" isn't really going to do the job, now is it?

See post 15 of mine

"I want to know how X Factor and all its equally pants predecessors have managed to infiltrate every corner of the chart!"

Now read a quote from Calvin Harris about his stage invasion on X Factor the other night

"If you look at music it's a frightening stranglehold that Simon Cowell has over the got over the entire music chart in the UK at the moment."

Someone else agrees! Yay! Granted, he puts it slightly more eloquently than I do but still, more people need to think like this for the sake of Britain's credibility when it comes to new artists.

I guess he's also referring to the fact that the last 5 week's number ones have all sang on X Factor. It indirectly influences charts with artists appearing on it. Then factor in that songs sun by contestants often rechart, X Factor (and thus Mr. Cowell) does affect the charts greatly.

I chuffin love X Factor though.

hiya
i think jls r soooooooooo fit

Great input there.
