JLS (which stands for Jack the Lad Swing) consists of Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Jonathan ‘JB’ Gill and Ortisé Williams and whilst they did not win the fifth season of “The X Factor”, they sure made a lasting impression and have successfully embarked on a music career anyway. As a result, when JLS tickets go on sale, they are certain to sell out fast making them highly sought after items that fans must work hard to get their hands on. Only then can they experience their exciting vocals in a live setting and enjoy a concert experience of a lifetime.
When they first appeared on our television screens it was during the audition stage of the 2008 series of “The X Factor”, where they impressed Simon Cowell, Louie Walsh and Cheryl Cole and went through to the next round. They then survived excessive rounds as other groups proved they did not have what it takes, eventually placing second in the competition overall, losing out only to Alexandra Burke. Whilst she went on to enjoy a Christmas number 1 with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, JLS considered their next move.
Despite coming second, JLS still managed to earn a record deal and their next move was appearing at a concert in Dublin alongside stars such as Shayne Ward (another star from “The X Factor”) and Boyzone, before appearing with the rest of “The X Factor” stars in “The X Factor Live Tour”. As a result, they hit the national stage alongside the likes of Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers, Eoghan Quigg and more.
By mid 2009 it was time to make their impact on the charts, releasing their first single in July to great success. “Beat Again” reached number 1 and proved that you do not need to win “The X Factor” to make it big. They followed up this single with their second release “Everybody in Love” followed by “One Shot”, before finally unveiling their full length LP “JLS” in November. It once again cemented them as huge stars with a bright future and ensured their place at the top of the charts once more.
As a result, when JLS tickets go on sale, fans will be eager to get their hands on them before flocking to venues across the country. This unbeatable chart act is likely to put on an entertaining evening of hit songs that reveal they do have the X factor and have what it takes to have a long and successful career. JLS are here to stay.
