Don't you just love them?
I don't enthuse about Boy Bands much, but these guys, on their 2nd coming, are just terrific. Great songs, great act.
I really hope Robbie Williams doesn't rejoin them.

    Sorry but I hate them, I am a miserable git when it comes to music anything overly nice does my nut (ABBA, Grease etc)

    I respect what they do in their genre/market, some of it I like, some of it is tosh, but there are worse bands out there.

    Music is all about personal choices and preferences, music to make you happy, music to make you sad, music to make you laugh, theres a place for it all, dont hate any music barring rap and hip hop, utter durge with no real talents IMO, its all a con.

    I love Elvis, Rockabilly and some country, but I am also a big fan of the Smiths, Cure, Cult, Stereophonics, Michael Buble, so music for me is very diverse.

    On that, why do we call them bands, as far as I can see only Gary Barlow plays an instrument (piano)???????

    Surely if they dont play instruments they should be called something different?

    I have to say JLS do have talent (mainly the gay looking little one who seems to get all the solos) and they can hold a tune, but your right about their fan base.

    shit happens I guess. I am stuck here in the office trying to get them for the wife and her sisters. the economy is meant to be in meltdown yet this lot can stump up 90 quid each for a ticket. At least it will stop her moaning at me going to the odd game of football.

    Just wait until this afternoon and get them from Ebay. You might have to pay more but if you're willing to pay £90 for Take Shat tickets then you're probably willing to pay £200+
