According to twitter, a few days ago they either got dropped or not picked up by Modest Management because Jaymi is gay.
Modest lost their X Factor account a while ago so this isn't true.

No : he only has Jedward on his books at the moment, now that Westlife and his girlband Wonderland have split up.

he had a recent girlband?

Well the fact that one of them is openly gay might allow them to jump on the 'gay' bandwagon. I know as a concept that's faded a bit but when Gaga and Katy Perry were at their last peaks in '09 and 2010 being gay was a pretty cool thing, and both are due a comeback soon...if they can sneak themselves a supporting gig somewhere off the back of that they'll have another market other than the 'teenage girl' to play to.

Also, one of them has really quite a good and strong voice for a boyband (is that the gay one too?)

It'll depend on what music they put out, I can see them bulking up so as not to compete directly with One Direction's teeny pop appeal. Don't count them off yet, Louis is a good manager.

Actually, you most likely are wrong. The vast majority of people who come off the X Factor go on to do nothing. Like Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson and the countless others.

What makes Union J any different? I don't see it.
What an odd comparison. Why didn't you say One Direction - the biggest boyband in the world right now?

I remember the documentary he made with them that aired just after X Factor finished last year. They were going to be massive.

I'm still waiting *taps foot impatiently*

At the end of the day, Louis didn't do badly with Westlife did he?! Or Girls Aloud!

Especially as, if reports are correct, he didn't have a lot of input. I daresay Simon Cowell will be the real puppet master. I can see them touring with One Direction next year.
