This MUST be an album re-release, surely they're not releasing a new lead single and album so soon?

They'll do the same as last year - release 1st single middle of the year, 2nd single later in the year with live X Factor performance to maximize sales, and new album immediately after, near Christmas (again, to maximize sales).
You heard it from me. |

i like jls, but its all so annoyingly predictable, isnt it?
Looks like they will just become a more R&B teen-schoolgirl-friendly version of Westlife. Talk about manufactured. |

The fact that JLS are happy to go along with it shows that they and their management are only bothered about record sales and making money from their teenage girl fans while they are still young enough to be interested.

It beggars belief how an act as young as JLS can release a book, never mind a second one. What the hell was in the first? "Grew up in East London, went to school, passed GCSEs, formed a boyband, left college, did some nights at pub karaoke. Then we came 2nd on X Factor and got absolutely minted. The end".
Even as a fan of theirs though, I have to admit I didn't think Aston, Marvin or JB had anything particularly interesting to write about. They didn't really say much that I didn't already know. I don't really see the point in a 2nd book either. |

My point is that it is contrived - they and their management are trying to work out the best way of selling lots of records, not focusing on music. They are trying to maximize sales by deliberately taking advantage of the Christmas market. The focus of musicians should be about the music itself, not just to make money out of the industry. This is what's wrong with the big record labels today - they are more interested in investing in fluff that will sell rather than real quality. Whatever happened to making music for music's sake? |

The fact that they're interested in being part of the actual making of the music itself (song-writing credits on 9 of 13 of the tracks on their 1st album, and they've been constantly tweeting about writing in the studio for the 2nd album over the past couple of months) suggests otherwise - contrary to what a lot of people seem to think; they don't just turn up, sing a few songs that then get autotuned to perfection and then go home. All I meant by what I said was that they're hardly going to go against their label's plans for them when it's clearly making them successful - not that it's necessarily something I agree with them doing. |

Looking forward to it but their album could have done with another single. Take the rest of the year out and then return. They are being like Gaga and fleshing things out too quick and touring too much

Sickening? How's that for an exaggeration. Also, I don't "buy into it" - I like the band, I like their music. Yes, I'm not going to deny they're good-looking, but it's not the reason I buy their music. I think Usher and Justin Timberlake are good-looking, but I hate both of their new songs & wouldn't buy them. It's an unfair stereotype that all JLS fans only support them because of their looks - though I'm not denying that a minority of them do. |

I do see the point you're making, and while it might be the record labels aim to just make money; I don't think it's fair to say that's the only thing that drives the band.

I get what you mean about JLS's label's plans and why they would go along with it, but you hear a lot of stories these days about artists who want to want to make music the way they want to, and get annoyed at the record labels because they try to manufacture them in a way that is engineered to sell. My point was that if JLS really are bothered about music over anything else, then they would surely have an issue with what their label are planning for them, because these plans are so blatantly cynical and contrived and it proves the label see them purely as a marketing tool and cash cow. It was obvious this would happen from the moment they got snapped up by Epic shortly after they finished on X Factor. |

Dont get me wrong, I really cant stand JLS or their music, but I think people are being a bit unfair to say that its wrong for their team to have the plan earlier mentioned.
I dont want to see JLS around forever, but its a bloody good plan that will make a hell of a lot of money, and it'll make a lot of their fans happy. The music industry is about making a profit these days pure and simple. |

The second book planned is ridiculous, but I really dont see a problem with them releasing an album each year? Girls Aloud have done that, I think?
The title sounds extremely cheesy, but so did Everybody In Love. |

I don't understand why people criticise albums being released in such quick succesion these days. Look at how many amazing albums the Beatles managed in about 7 years.
Btw in no way am i comparing JLS and the Beatles! |

I don't really see whats wrong with releasing an album every year tbh.. I liked their first album but agree they could be releasing music a lot better than that.. & which is what I believe they will do with this 2nd album.. They have been working with much better producers/songwriters Toby Gad, Stargate, Labrinth, Soulshock & Karlin etc..
If the demand is there and they are likely to do well with another album being released this year.. then it seems a bit pointless to wait an extra year.. when they within the next few months will probably be finished recording it Same with the book.. I loved the first book and it gave a real introduction and insight into their lives.. Oritse in particular.. Its mainly for fans so I don't see why its a problem.. Several artists have released/are releasing books (The Saturdays, N Dubz etc) |
