I remember saying at the time of that series of the X Factor; JLS could easily make it in pop music, there was definitely a market for them. There weren't any boy bands around before they released singles, and there still aren't any to rival them. Take That and Westlife are man bands, they're not boy bands anymore. As for mixed sex groups; I think there is also a market for them too. Not releasing the cheesy kind of music that S Club and Steps et al did, obviously they'd release music that matched current musical flavours, but I think they'd be successful. I'm reckoning a couple of boybands will spring up soon to rival JLS, but it may be a while before we see any mixed groups! There is an oversaturation of girl bands though, definitely.
