JLS announce split

[Smithy]

Farewell tour and greatest hits album still to come this year but that will be the end. It has taken three months to make the decision #JLS

Not surprised, they'd have probably lasted longer if OD hadn't taken all their fans :laugh:

[Jake.]

Ah well, never mind. A bit **** anyway. A couple of decent songs but apart from that, they were rather generic.

[Jack_]

No way :o wow, this I am shocked about

Then again Marvin did get his own show on Capital a few weeks back...I found that a bit odd at the time

[Drew.]

wont lie.. actually liked a few of their songs

[GypsyGoth]

They seemed to get on really well.

[King Gizzard]

so this is the group that was rumoured a couple of months back?

wut

[King Gizzard]

Love how they've done it when 95% of their fanbase won't be awake :joker:

Don't think any of them have enough to go solo

[Black Dagger]

Good riddance.

[King Gizzard]

wut

there was a big rumour a boy band would be splitting a couple/few months back and most people thought it was TT or McFly

[Joelle.]

Surprised but not bothered. Had potential to start with but turned into a conveyor belt of generic crap after generic crap.... apart from She Makes Me Wanna, that song is... :dance:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Shame, they had some great catchy hits

[Jordan.]

Shame because compared to 1D they're actually tolerable.

[Jack_]

Eyes Wide Shut > One Shot > She Makes Me Wanna > Everybody In Love > the rest

And I remember that rumour now! Five years is a really good run to be fair, I think I remember Tom on here saying they'd last five years so that was a good call :suspect:

Also, I'm calling the performance on this year's X Factor Final now.

[Shaun]

shame bye

[GypsyGoth]

They are gone too soon

Remain the best X Factor act after the show tbh. Bit of a shame.

At least they did it in a dignified way unlike Girls Aloud who shamelessly toured, chirped the term "ten years" (seriously I will seek Cheryl ****ing Tweedy out and punch her in the mouth if she says ten years ever again) and then tweeted they were splitting up as an afterthought. Total cop out. At least JLS have announced it ahead of their arena tour and have given their fans time to come to terms with it, this'll probably boost their ticket sales. They had a good run, a few good songs and they managed five #1 singles, that's a pretty good achievement. They're exiting at the right time. They always seemed level headed and four genuinely good guys, I think this is sad but to be respected.

[Cherry Christmas]

In the good old days bands would have an acrimonious bust up and that would be that. Now it's farewell tours, an album, and give it 3 to 5 years before there is a Reunion tour.

I like JLS, was surprised that Marvin started DJ'ing on Capital (thought it might be a guest slot, obviously not). They seem nice, never got too up themselves and they all seemed to get on, and they had catchy tunes.

wasn't it always pretty obvious that 'Ten' was their goodbye album?

[InOne]

One Direction next and then I'm satisfied.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

After only 5 years ? :suspect:

[bbfan1991]

I actually like JLS, so wish the lads well in their individual projects:).

As long as this split doesn't happen with their branded condoms!

:joker:

the headline on the FRONT PAGE of the Sun is

RIP JLS

slow day in the news dept.

[Shaun]

the greatest thing they ever achieved was linda's joke about them tbh

Linda:
-is wondering wut the **** shu is on about-

Dean:
jls condoms

Linda:
mmk
are they coloured

Shaun:
jls? yes.... bit awkward...

Dean:
linda you can't say that

[Z]

wasn't it always pretty obvious that 'Ten' was their goodbye album?

They consistently said they weren't splitting up and that "this is a celebration" etc, toured the country and then whispered it online instead of telling their fans straight. I think if they'd announced it as a farewell tour their ticket sales would have been immense and people would have respected them.

[Marcus.]

its a sham there are spilting up

[Z]

5 years is a fairly average pop shelf life to be entirely fair to them, it's usually pretty rare for an act to achieve more than that. 4-6 years is usually the expectation for any established pop act.

Just Love Safe

fantastic

[King Gizzard]

Encouraging underage sex, how role modelish of them

[King Gizzard]

Why is this headline worthy on the news :|

[Ninastar]

Shame

[Patrick]

Fair play, didn't hate them as much as One Erection.

5 Years though? Damn. 2008 doesn't seem that long ago!

Encouraging underage sex, how role modelish of them

Underage sex happens anyway, they're encouraging people to use condoms - nothing wrong with it.

I wonder will their condom rage stop now though? :suspect:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

One Erection! :laugh:

[Harry!]

This is sad for their fans but like them they have grown up. Sad they never had much success in the USA. They were a great boyband.
