music makes the world go round,

Girls Aloud came from a similar show called pop stars where they were looking for a boy band as well as a Girl Band. Girls Aloud won for the girls and the boys group was called 'One true voice'. They had one hit then were dropped very quickly!!

Gareth Gates came runner up to Will Young, had a few hits and has sorta vanished. Seems the Cheeky Girls (who also got fame through Pop Idol) have had a better career!! Seriously though the Cheeky Girls are one the biggest earners out of anything to come from Pop Idol type shows. They are not as stupid as people think (Or at least their mum is clever as she is their manager)

i know the first band put together like that in germany was called no angels. they had some nice songs at some point. what you might know of them, is their duet with mousse t - let's go to bed. they had really bonded - or so they claimed - at one point, dropped their manager after the end of the contract and put out a second album, sounded more mature. then one of them left the band as she became a mum, one started a solo career, i think she is now a vj for a german music television. in the next show they put together another band, i have a lapsus about their name though. they had a tour with no angels. the third band was called nu pagadi, a rather colourful thing. reminded me of ruslana, that year's eurovision contest winner, and her wild dances - was something like that. don't know much else about them.

i understand that's a launching ramp for "new talents". but there are consecrated bands doing it. inxs found their new singer through a similar show. not a bad choice, as i think i've stated before, but he has huge shoes to fill. and i don't think the band would've enjoyed any comeback success without both michael hutchence and a tv show to relaunch them.

and... oh, yeah. what about vh-1 old-rocker-recylcer supergroup?

Have not heard of supergroup... I think The Monkees were the first ever put together boy band. And did you know Limp Bizkit were put together? (at least i think they were)

the monkees even had a tv show, didn't they?

i think they learned how to play instruments during the show, unless i am confusing them.

Yes they had a show on tv too. I dont know if they learned the instruments on there though.

here is the description of supergroup i found on the net:

Five seasoned Rock Stars descend on Las Vegas to form a band and save Rock and Roll. The catch? None of them know who their band mates are ahead of time. Motor City Madman Ted Nugent, Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach and Anthrax's Scott Ian team up with drummer (Led Zeppelin heir) Jason Bonham and Biohazard's Evan Seinfeld to live together, form a band, write new music and perform a concert in just 12 days.

Legendary Rock Manager Doc McGhee is enlisted to keep these legendary Rock egos in check, and keep the mission on track. Together, in a city of sin, they struggle to navigate the drinking, fighting, lap dances and somehow find the time to write, rehearse, and put on a show worthy of their formidable rock legacies. Five Rock Stars. 12 Days. No Excuses. This is Supergroup.

Love the show! I burst into tears once in a while, seeing Sebi Bach looking so old, but... at least he has the same amount of brains! That didn't change!

Wasnt Seb Bach in a rock band?.... I forget their name though.
