It is amazing how much can be achieved in such a small space of time. British boyband JLS are living proof of this. Just over a year ago, they stormed the charts with Beat Again. It went straight to number 1 and was the fastest selling debut single of the year. Now, they are Britain's biggest boyband, with a bunch of trophies and a devoted fanbase to prove it.
The nation first became hooked on the 4 strapping lads (Aston, JB, Marvin, and Oritse) when they auditioned on the TV program The X Factor. Popular after their first performance, the audience watched the group get stronger as the weeks went by. Sadly, but not regrettably, the boys lost the competition finishing in second place, but they never lost sight of the grand prize. Success was on the horizon. The boys signed to Epic Records and worked hard to produce a sensational first album.
After the success of Beat Again, it became clear that these boys were more than just pretty faces. A talented foursome, all with drive and ambition. More success was to come with their second single Everybody In Love, followed by their self titled album, both going straight into the charts at number 1.
Their hard work and perserverance was acknowledged with 2 BRIT Awards (British Breakthrough and British Single) and 2 MOBO Awards (Best Single and Best Newcomer).
JLS staged a sell out tour earlier this year which, having been myself, had a phenomenal atmosphere. The chants of 'JLS' by the loyal fans, and the sea of 'JLS' hooded tops, was a sensational vision. The lads perform with energy, verve and sheer enthusiasm. Their efforts are visible in the show give. They make every attempt to stay in close touch with their fans, and their evident gratitude and appreciation yields them more love, homage and adoration.
The year ahead is set to be another big one for JLS. The first single, The Club Is Alive, which is from the band's second album, also yielded a number one position in the charts. This sets them in good stead for another successful album release.
They may have finished second in a talent show, but they are definitely winning now. Everybody is in love with the sound of JLS.
