X Factor stars JLS have said that they had to "prove themselves" to the public, says a report. The boyband claimed that they have come under "more pressure" than previous acts like Westlife and Blue.
Marvin Humes suggested that audience expectations are now higher than in previous years.
He told News Shopper: "Listeners are much more savvy now. You can't just mime and dance to make it.
"You have to prove yourself a lot more to the public, which goes for everything from your image and style of music to the quality of your album and performances."
Marvin said that he believed that the quality of their music was the driving force behind the success of the band.
He added: "What's been our saving grace is we've come out with very good music, which is, first and foremost, the most important thing.
"It was always important for us to make sure the quality was there rather than just rushing something out to keep the momentum going."
