Typical British talk - Britain loved JLS when they were up against Alexandra Burke for the X-Factor title. JLS developed a huge a loyal fan base before the finale. Their album and singles have all done well and not mediocre well. selling Millions in an era where people do not really buy music like when MJ was music king. I feel they will do well in the states even if only moderatly. They are a boy band, and so what if teenie boppers will be their appeal for now. I am sure they will show growth when their next album comes out. American record execs must have seen something that sell as major labels wanted to sign them stateside.
Now all we need is for Alexandra Burkes PR team to up their game. Now if JLS was Westlife than you could get a complaint in cos Westlife show absolutely no variety at all in their sound or music.

A group of young black boys/men are better off on stage singing than hanging about on street corners being idle
