Maybe she does in photoshoots but people usually buy the single after seeing the music video, people wont see her album cover or single cover until they buy it, she never once lifts her top off like they do, in their first ever video, Alexandra sold 1 million+ by just standing in a room filled with candles

No she sold 1 million + because it was on the back of X Factor. And I don't know about Bad Boys, never seen the video.

I think to say it's PURELY on their looks. Their songs are as catchy and current as anything else out there at the minute. I personally don't like them but I can see why a lot of people would.

If Everybody In Love was released in the US it would be a hit, probably top 50 on the Hot 100 and top 10 on the RnB chart.

Their next single is their best yet, another Number 1 for them

I can see why people are buying it though. It's very current and catchy. Still.. I personally dislike them.

JLS will be bigger than Alex in the US.
Theres not much space in the US market for another Beyonce clone like Alexandra, but theres a huge gap for a fresh and modern boyband like JLS.

When it comes to boybands though Jonas Brothers pretty much have that covered. They won't do well, Alexandra's gonna struggle but I think JLS will bomb.

Jonas Brothers arn't a boyband though are they?
Anyway you're wrong.JB arn't really a commercial band.Their music doesn't get played on US radio at all and their singles flop.All they have is a Disney fanbase.

I always thought they were like the rest of the disney brigrade and always topping the charts? I'd DEFINATELY say they were a boyband.

No.They dont get any radio support so all they really get is a #1 on the first week slaes from their album and drop dramatically the next week because theres only so many teenage girls who will buy their album!
I wouldn't count them as a boyband because they play their own instruments and dont dance,but whatever!

But would they have even been signed if it wasn't for the looks and muscles or would they have just disappeared like most XF groups?

Remember that last year they were frequently featured in Heat Magazine and things like that for their looks and such, it's one of their biggest reasons they got signed because teenage girls fancy the pants of them and will buy any old crap as long as they take their shirts off.

I think One Shot should be the third single too, best track on the album. But apparently it's Close To You.

The charm will have warn off by then and their core audience would have grown up. Don't think they'll be around for ten years until we know how well the second album will do.

I don't like them but I don't see why people call them untalented. They can all sing, all dance and write some of their own material iirc.
