I've just had a thought - if the final album is an album for the fans to remember them by, I wonder if they would (aswell as all the hit singles) also add their best X Factor songs
![]() Like The Way You Make Me Feel, Hallelujah, Umbrella, No Air - maybe their audition song ![]() I think the fans would really like that ![]() I hope their last album is like the old JLS

I like the fact that they seem down to earth lads who don't, um I dunno, have twitter wars with other boy bands or try and push their way into the top of The Empire State Building or whatever.

![]() How old were JLS when they went to the X factor? they seem "much" older, at the very least mature, and have deffinitely managed to guide their career well globally. |

I am a fan of the group you are not naming here, but those were clearly not their proudest moments to put it nicely...

Edit: Just checked their DOBs and Aston was the youngest at 20, Marvin was the oldest at 23. So a bit older than I thought, but still not very old. |

It seems they found it hard competing with the younger boybands:
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/new...ed-The-Way-For To be honest I can't see Union J becoming that big - certainly nothing like One Direction ![]() In fact until I read this article I'd completely forgotten about them

I don't think they'll be as successful as 1D but I do think with the right material they'll be absolutely fine. In terms of chemistry, they actually remind me a lot more of an early JLS than an early 1D, and that isn't a bad thing at all in my opinion. |

To be honest I think it can just be simply put as they were no longer a boyband while still trying to exist as one. Marvin's becoming a dad and they all just looked older than any of the other boyband membersout there. New boyband fans are either going to go for how exciting being a One Direction fan must be with how big they are and all their media coverage etc, the 'edginess' of The Wanted (whether or not you think they are actually are is another matter but at least to me that seems to be their intention) or the niceness of Union J with George especially having the most 'cuteness' and sweetness of any boyband member out there at the moment imo. It also helps he physically looks by a good couple of years the youngest of any of the members even if he's older than the majority of One Direction. Meanwhile the original JLS fans will have probably moved on from the whole boyband phase for the most part. You could tell by tumblr, especially, that there was a great shortage of fans with the general characteristic of what the standard of boyband lover currently does. Very few gifs, no bromance shippings etc. It was quite stale from what I observed, much less activity than those three.
So it was the case I think that they just couldn't compete with the younger boybands but I do agree that it was no reason to split. They could have adapted themselves (or at least made the attempt) into a 'manband', producing maturer songs and distancing themselves from the typical boyband fare (why were there still dolls of JLS members in shops on the same shelf as dolls of One Direction, boys in their late teens/early twenties?). It's sad that they didn't try it really, because there was opportunity for it in my opinion. |

They always seemed quite clever lads to me..I remember reading and article about them which said they wrote a lot of their own music and had made wise business decisions so that they had made individually a good personel income...they all seem to have plans for the future and the JLS brand as set them up for future opportunities ..I know it's sad for the fans but I am sure it a decision that they are all happy with ...I don't get the impression there is any bitterness there either amongst themselves or with the label
