To be honest no one is coming in here and just stating 'JLS are crap' they are giving reasons and stating their opinion of their awful constant promotion of the same song. There is a thread for only chart updates so if you don't want to read any opinions or debate go there.

 

No one underestimated them it was obvious they would sell alot, as for longevity as good as Robbies, PLEASE.

 

Surely Sweet Dreams was just offering a different opinion to that of your own - it amazes me how people can state things as fact when they are just opinion said over and over again... where's the ignore button

Maybe because their next single One shot is not out until late Feb ? They havent got a video or anything out yet and so are probably waiting to start promoting it properly.. And I have listened to the album quite a bit.. at first wasnt too keen on it and now love it.. its a real grower and there are much better songs on there than EIL & BA which are some of the weakest songs imo.. They are apparently working with Ne-yo, Red One, Calvin Harris etc.. on the second album so Im expected a much better album

 

I think you have missed the point, people are not asking them to promote 'One Shot' this early but as their album is selling so well do you not think it would be a good idea to perform something other than EIL in order to sell more copies of the album? Alexandra performed 'The Silence' on Paul O Grady and I am pretty sure that would have drawn in more buyers. Performing EIL yet again is not going to sell the album and the song has been to number one and peaked in sales range so the promotion is not really going to do anything.

 

Ne-yo and Red One would never give them decent songs as they know it won't reach the US market. A 'Russian Roulette' or 'Just Dance' would never be given to JLS by a top US based producer.

I was watching Ant and Decs show and the one on after it tonight and both of them had heavy portions of their show dedicated to the X factor. It really annoys me I don't watch these shows to have Alexandra Burke and JLS rammed in my face at every opportunity and Amanda and Piers creaming over how amazing Simon Cowell is. If only ITV was paid for by the license fee payers then we wouldn't have to put up with this crap, heck Alesha Dickson was not even allowed to perform her single on SCD if only this rule was applied for every ITV show.

 

Proof that the BBC does work, even if I don't agree with everything they do.

 

If only ITV lost it's licence - Cowell would be fooked. I can see CH4 gone in 2010.

JLS have no competition in the urban-boyband field. They dont really annoy me as yet because I haven't been bombarded by looney JLS fans like I am with looney Leona fans.

 

 

I'd like Leona to try a different sort of music than the hard-done-by, my man just dumped me pity-seeking.

 

How anyone can sit through an album of that is beyond me.

 

Great voice but without variety I'm very hard to impress.

I do like the BBC they are not as rammed down your throats as ITV are.

 

CH4 are going to struggle without Big Brother I can't see what is going to replace that. The only thing saving them is Come Dine With Me but I guess I should discuss that in the TV forum ha.

:S Name me the songs that are based on what you just said, 'my man just dumped me pity-seeking?

Please have some sort of back up to a comment if your going to bother making one. ergh.

Channel 4 struggle? No way, they have so much!! Possibly the best channel on tv..out of the 5 basic ones.

They are the best channel but Big Brother is their main source of income, there is no other show on C4 that gets that sort of income. All stations have their cash cow.

Im getting a bit bored of EIL aswell now.. but they are already selling a lot of the album.. doubt their management/record label would get them to perform album tracks to boost sales

 

& I didnt say they would be given tracks as good as that.. but Im expecting them to be a lot better than EIL & BA which were mainly aimed at their fanbase

 

I must admit, JLS are a decent group and they have a few good songs imo.. I just hate the way everyone likes them because of their looks instead of the music.

I dont think most people do actually like them for their looks.. Imo only Aston & Marvin are goodlooking..yes it adds to their appeal but surely if people didnt like their songs they wouldnt buy them ?

I distinctly remember Alesha performing 'The Boy Does Nothing' on Strictly. That was before she became a judge, though.

 

I'm absolutely amazed that the other majors haven't challenged the massive Sony dominance of X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent. What's stopping them, exactly?

Get cheryle to number one and two 3 words and the other one'!!!! btw im a but drunk yaay

Since the massive change on Christmas Day, the iTunes chart has been surprisingly slow moving... a bit dull really.

Yeh exactly that was before she became a judge, now she is not allowed to promote her own material on SCD.

 

It will all be to do with tv politics, itv will have a deal with sony that gets their acts promoted on top shows due to the x factor connection. You only had to have watched the ant and dec show and the one of after it to see the influence Simon Cowell has on the channel.

I would have thought the reasoning would be obvious. As I stated in one of my previous posts Alexandra performed 'The Silence' on Paul O' Grady and if I hadn't had bought the album by that point then I would have, another performance of Bad Boys would not have made me do this. All acts do this to promote their album, Michael Buble on X Factor, Gaga on the Royal Variety. It therefore suggests there are one of two problems either the rest of the tracks on JLS album are not good enough for prime time tv or their management are not very clever. I think it is the former.

 

To me they have ruined my perception of what I thought their fan base was going to be. On X Factor they appeared to be very original in the audition stages, this of course went downhill when Louie tried to make them into Westlife. However, when they got signed I was optimistic that they would be a cool new urban band that would appeal to the 16-30 age range [which I think Alexandra does], instead they ruined it by trying to become a cheesy terrible boyband.

 

I dont think most people do actually like them for their looks.. Imo only Aston & Marvin are goodlooking..yes it adds to their appeal but surely if people didnt like their songs they wouldnt buy them ?

 

I don't even think Marvin is good looking he permanently has a glazed over look on his face. Their looks are all that is getting them through in part my cousin said yesterday at Christmas the only reason she got their album and is going to see them on tour is that they are 'fit'.

Bad Romance back to #1! Wiley hasn't been added yet...

Great to see Lady GaGa back at #1! :o Could it be the first #1 of 2010?

Yes, exactly, I understand why it happens but I don't understand why the other record companies don't challenge it. I'm sure a good legal case could be made that it's anti-competitive at least.

 

:cheer: for Lady Gaga being back at #1! *ignores the tiresome JLS debate going on*

Bad Romance back to #1! Wiley hasn't been added yet...

Erm... it has, #223 in the chart.
