Boy Band Union J - X factor UK 2012

[sokker]

So.. I just read this.. it's interesting http://metro.co.uk/2012/12/30/union-...liams-3333201/

It looks like they're ditching Louis Walsh and will go with Oritse Williams of JLS fame instead. I think that would be a brilliant choice. He's young and knows what the industry is like today. I think he has the knowledge to manage them

I guess "Gosh" is the name of the bromance

I guess "Gosh" is the name of the bromance

Yes, it is

Josh plays up their bromance all the time. It's kinda cute. Nobody ships Gosh more than Josh himself. He even hashtag Gosh on twitter. lol. Sometimes I think Josh has a little mancrush on George Shellett (George and JJ) is definitely the biggest bromance though. Gosh is tiny compared to Shellett. Don't ask me how I know.. lol.

I'm glad to see the boys bonding. I heard that George was sort of a quiet one when they first added him. Glad they are opening up more.

Yes. I think he's slightly more reserved than the others.. or at least more than Josh and Jaymi. I think he bonded with JJ (and hence Shellett was born) because they're sorta the quiet ones. They're not as outgoing. George seems kinda shy, and JJ isn't shy per se.. just quiet.

And as for your second point.. they're opening up more, I agree. The interviews they did after they were eliminated were hilarious. And I've actually heard people who didn't like them before change their minds because of those interviews. They now say that they seem like nice and fun guys. I've read so much BS about them not having any personality. People just assume thing and it's annoying. Yes, it's true that they're not as outgoing as District 3.. but that doesn't mean that they don't have any personality. You need to get to know them before you judge them. Watch some of their interviews and twitcams, and you'll see that they do in fact have personalities. The thing about "no personality" wasn't meant for you costieboy, I know you don't feel that way, I was just talking more in general

None taken. A friend of mine did some work with them for one of their shoots so I was able to get the inside scoop on how they are. He said Jaymi is super hyper and doesn't stop talking and that Josh loves his makeup. Sadly, only Jaymi likes boys.

OMG now I'm officially jealous of your friend. I would give anything to help out at a Union J photo shoot Your friend's comment on Jaymi doesn't surprise me. He seems like a nice and sweet guy, although he loves the attention, and talks all the time. Even in the twitcams he seems quite hyper, and all over the place.. lol. Josh is not as outgoing as Jaymi (still more outgoing than George and JJ though), but I feel like he's the funny one.. he doesn't talk as much as Jaymi, but when he talks he's right on point and usually hilarious.. if that makes any sense. And the make up thing was new to me, but still hilarious. LOL. Then again.. he has an almost perfect face, and make up would enhance his features, so I can see why he likes make up. Josh seems so metrosexual to me.. he's so gay friendly, like he was holding hands with Rylan and made kissing faces, and he openly plays up the Gosh bromance. Then there's the fact that he has the most clothes out of all of them, and he obviously does care about how he looks. Josh seems like a fun guy, someone I would get along with. I think he's sadly very straight (George also called him a womanizer), but he's still very gay friendly so I don't mind.

And about George.. sometimes he pings a lot. I know he's straight, don't get me wrong.. BUT if he were to come out in the future, as bi or gay, lets just say that I won't be surprised. LOL. But I may be entirely wrong (I probably am).

Union J cancel shows after George Shelley accident

X Factor boy band Union J have been forced to cancel a number of shows this week after member George Shelley was injured in an accident. The teen heartthrobs, who shot to fame on the ITV talent show, have apologised to fans in a series of posts on Twitter.

George reassured fans on the social networking site, writing: “So sorry to everyone in Ireland. I have had an accident so we won't be able to perform tomorrow so our gigs have been pulled. Sorry... I'm fine (I) just had an accident and won't be able to perform tomorrow, I will be fine in a week or so."

Poor George Glad he'll be fine.

I'll be devastated if anything happens to any of them.

I know.. I was so worried at first because it sounded like it was something really serious.. and JJ and Josh sounded kinda worried. Then I get to hear that he burnt his cheek on a lightbulb or something.. and I'm like oh.. lol. I don't know if it's true though, but that's what people on tumblr say.. and JJ did tweet George something about a burn before deleting it, so it sounds likely imo. Hopefully it's nothing serious, whatever it is, and hopefully he'll be back in no time

Burning your cheek on a lightbulb... If it's true, only Union J would have that kind of "accident"

[SilverWolf]

I love these boys

[AlexanderValentine]

Is that what they actually said, if so.... wow, not restricted to blondes...

Also on a different subject if they really cancelled gigs due to a burn, they can't be that interested in becoming big.

Well.. I'm not sure if he actually burnt himself on a lightbulb. That was just a rumor going around on tumblr. As far as I know we have still no idea what happened, they haven't released an official statement or anything. It might be something more serious.

[SilverWolf]

Jaymi getting a tatto?

[AlexanderValentine]

Ugh, another horrible tattoo, why!?!

[Wafflecakes]

Random comment. If you want to post pics I would recommend you upload them to JUB or get a minus.com account. Many other hosts remove pics because this is a porn site.

Yeah, eww. I don't get the obsession with tattoos among the young popstars. And they're always so big and tacky. I'd have no problem if it was a small, 'regular' tattoo.

I'll keep that in mind going forward. Thanks.

[JarodA]

Just had a second look at that tat. Are. you. kidding? It takes up his whole arm .

[sokker]

Meh I kinda like the tattoo. It looks good and I like the theme. At least it's not as random as Harry's tattoos.

[SilverWolf]

I love George's reaction

'Things Are Moving So Fast!' Union J Head To Studio To Record Debut Single

It looks like we'll be seeing their music this year

[sokker]

I'm just worried it's moving a bit too fast. Their first single is very important, obviously. And releasing the wrong first single could basically ruin their career. I have a bad feeling about this, but I hope I'm wrong. As long as they pick a good single it should be fine. But PLEASE no ballad or anything like that. It should be a catchy upbeat single that's easy on the ear and one that could hopefully get some plays on the radio.

[SilverWolf]

[SilverWolf]

I dedicate this post to you Sokker!

[sokker]

Thanks for the new pics and gifs SilverWolf

Some news: Union J recorded their first single yesterday, and I'm sooo excited! It will be released in April. They also have a new management now.. Crown Management. They manage Jessie J and others, so I think it's a good choice

Oh, and one more thing I want to add: I know they played at GAY and it looked packed, so that's cool! I hope they'll get some guy fans and not just girls. Then again.. Jaymi is gay and that probably means that gays will notice them.. hopefully

[coastieboy00]

G-A-Y is a pretty popular club if memory serves me right. I haven't been clubbing in London since like 2003.

So apparently their music is going to be released in June under their Sony deal. Can't wait to hear it.

Yeah, I can't wait! I gotta say though at first it was announced that they'd be releasing the music in April. I think that would have been a better choice. I don't think it's a good idea to release the first single in summer. It's too long after X Factor ended and a lot of people are on summer vacation. April would have been much better than June. I bet their first single will bomb, since the timing is off. I hope I'm wrong though.

[SilverWolf]

Sokker, what are they doing?

[sokker]

I have no idea, just being their crazy selves

The Gosh twitcam was really fun though

[SilverWolf]

^
I love George's reaction.

[SilverWolf]

[sokker]

Thanks for the new pics, SilverWolf. George looks like a little cupcake in that last pic. OMG, can he get any cuter?

And Jaymi with a new tattoo.. meh, as long as he doesn't go overboard, like Harry from One Direction..

[SilverWolf]

I know, right?

[SilverWolf]

JJ and Rylan Clark.

I had no idea JJ had such nice arms...

[sokker]

JJ and Rylan Clark.

That pic is so homoerotic! I love it. Up till now Josh has been the tease, but wow.. I'm starting to think that JJ is taking over

And yeah.. JJ has really nice arms, but he does stay healthy, and probably exercise a lot.. he used to be a jockey, and he was even a model for a short period. JJ is really good looking, I'll give him that. I understand why he's so popular. I like Josh, but he does have a look that you kinda have to get used to, compared to JJ, whose looks are more "conventional handsome" if that makes any sense, lol. Too bad he can't sing that well though. I mean.. he's good enough to be in Union J, but he'd never make it as a solo artist, he's clearly the worst vocalist in Union J, and there's a long way up to Josh and Jaymi. I'd rank their voices (from best to worst): Jaymi, Josh, George and then JJ. In looks I'd rank them (starting at the hottest): George, JJ, Josh and then Jaymi. I do think JJ is hotter than Josh, but I still find Josh (as in the whole package, personality and looks and everything), the most attractive guy in Union J

[SilverWolf]

Jaymi talks about his coming out.

[sokker]

Well.. a tour manager for the District 3 tour said he got to listen to Union J's new single. This is what he had to say about their single:

"Just having another exclusive listen to UnionJ debut single before anyone else hears it! Who else would love to hear it? It's pretty good"

"One Direction + The Wanted = Union J debut single"

"I'm not instantly hooked. I think it'll be a grower x It's pretty good overall tho x"

And he also said that Union J are better than District 3 live

[coastieboy00]

This is great news! I can't wait. Thanks for sharing.

I agree.

George is so cute its ridiculous.

[SilverWolf]

[Lukey1]

I would destroy them all

[SilverWolf]

George, what is your hand doing there?

[JarodA]

If George is straight then...

[sokker]

If George is straight then...

I don't think George is straight.. I think he's bi/gay. He's kinda effeminate, and there's been gay rumors surrounding him in the past.

I totally agree. Some of his posts on twitter and instagram make me wonder.
