Identify These Boy/Girl Bands
43. This musical group tried out for the "X-Factor" using the moniker UFO. However, they had to alter their name since another band was already using the name UFO？
Correct Incorrect In 2006, Ortiz Williams, Marvin Humes, J.B. Gill, and Aston Merrygold came together to create a boy band named UFO. When they auditioned for X-Factor, they discovered that another group already had the name UFO, prompting them to adopt a new identity. They settled on the name JLS, inspired by the musical genre "Jack the Lad Swing." While they didn't secure the top spot on X-Factor, they signed a contract with Epic Records in January 2009. Their initial five singles reached number one, and their first three albums achieved platinum status.
