X FACTOR'S JLS dubbed Swansea their loudest ever crowd when they played in the city last weekend 24.01.09 ! .
The boyband performed live at Oceana on Saturday to thousands of fans. And the Post chatted exclusively to Ortise, JB, Marvin and Aston backstage after the gig.
Ortise said: "We've played at many cities all over the country since finishing on The X Factor and the crowd in Swansea is by far the loudest!"
Aston added: "It's has definitely been our best reaction to date. We've had a great welcome from everyone here."
Fans flocked to the city centre nightclub to see the X Factor finalists sing at a gig for 13 to 17-year-olds at 7pm and another for over- 18s at midnight.
And at the later event, three fans at the front fainted during the performance and had to be carried over the barrier for medical attention.
Oceana manager Steve Saunders told the Post: "We had no trouble apart from a few fans at the front fainting after Aston brushed hands with them and Marvin ripped his shirt off!"
The boyband played a five- song set at both gigs, including songs they performed while on the ITV1 talent show.
During their break between gigs, the boys were spotted going for dinner at Eleo's on The Kingsway.
They stayed at the city centre restaurant for more than two hours before returning to Oceana for the later event.
And the Post hears the boys partied late into the night with fans at their city centre hotel.
JLS have also just signed a record deal with Epic and will be supporting soul singer Lemar on his UK tour later this year.
Aston said: "We'll be releasing a single and an album and we really can't wait to start to get into the recording studio and get going."
