Why do they always compare NewBounce to JLS and not other boybands?

Hmm? Why don't they compare them to other boybands? It's always JLS

Because JLS are currently the UK's biggest boy band?

And they also came from a reality show?

Not sure who else you can compare them to really? PossiblyTake That, but that comparison is a bit silly as TT are a "manband" and aimed more at an older demo

Because JLS are THE current boyband.

If a comparison is made, which other boyband is recent? I cant think of any. Take That are way too old.

JLS are the only current popular UK boyband, also it helps make these ITV talent shows look good!

They've been seen as a poor man's Jackson 4 by some, but JLS are more current and in the charts now, so Simon will try to market New Bounce as them.

Who do you think they should be compared to?
Take That are slightly too old to use as a comparison

Who else can they be compared to? Boybands who are big right now: JLS and Take That.

given their ages Id compare them to the Jacksons over JLS. They dont really sound or behave like JLS

It's because Simon doesn't know of any other boybands.

They're not a massive boyband - they might be popular but theyre not on the level of JLS/Take That. I think the comparison would be a bit lost on alot of viewers, maybe if theyd performed on one of the shows...

A man so poor he has filed for bankruptcy, been taken to the cleaners by his ex-wife for extortinate alimony, lost his million pound mansion in the divorce settlement and now living on the street, unable to even afford a knackered cardboard box and a bit of mildewed old carpet....that's how poor a man's Jackson Five they truly are...
