Yep i suspected Cowell was sleeping with Sarah Whatmore, him saying he wanted to marry her at the audition then giving her a record deal...she was nothing special vocally and had no great charismaWow this thread had brought back so many memories! Thanks everyone!
Anyone remember sarah whatmore form pop idol i believe- when i lost you and automatic?
I thought she would go far but disappeared after her second single
Also can anyone remember a rock/pop band from the early 00’s think it was 4 guys, and i think they had sun/summer in their name?? Think they only had 1/2 singles but their debut was quite a hit
For the life of me I can’t remember how the song goes but i remember the video and the girl is walking through the streets of what looks to be new york (a bit like the justin timberlake
Song lovin. It vibe) and I think the lead singer was called nick?
She didn't even make it past audition 1 did she?Yep i suspected Cowell was sleeping with Sarah Whatmore, him saying he wanted to marry her at the audition then giving her a record deal...she was nothing special vocally.
She got to the live semi finals I think, but didn't make it to the final 10. Gawd I was obsessed with Pop Idol at the time! Series 2 of Pop Idol wasn't great. It's surprising to think it only lasted 2 series in the UK.She didn't even make it past audition 1 did she?
series 2 had a lot butlin type acts, no one stood out, although surprised mark and sam still have a career in showbizShe got to the live semi finals I think, but didn't make it to the final 10.

It was bloody awful - Sam and Mark, Andy Scott-Lee, the priest (?)series 2 had a lot butlin type acts, no one stood out, although surprised mark and sam still have a career in showbiz
I’ve been listening to the album today and forgot how incredible ‘angels calling’ is - absolutely epic and could (possibly) smash today.Another rooster gem
@Pinkii i couldn’t find him on insta (unless I just didn’t recognise him). What’s his handle?Found nick on instagram, he seems to be doing well as a songwriter now.
Although disappointed as he now has bit of a turkey neck
his own profile is private But his writing/working one is thebarnmusic.@Pinkii i couldn’t find him on insta (unless I just didn’t recognise him). What’s his handle?
Pop Idol - no one I can really remember (and briefly Darius and Gareth)Did anyone apart from Will Young and Girls Aloud, that was on X Factor / Pop Idol / Fame Academy, etc. really have a career? Or where they all one hit wonders / flops?
Bloody good investigative work there @Pinkii , I'm impressed!his own profile is private But his writing/working one is thebarnmusic.

Their entire debut album was all killer no filler. Every song was worthy of being released as a single, which was so refreshing when many acts know to put in a obvious 3-4 hits and we know which will never get released.Another rooster gem
I actually liked her two songs but agree that that she just didn't have the X-factor. In some circles her unreleased album was regarded as a missed opportunity. She leaked it a few years ago it was nice early 2000s era pop but nothing special.Yep i suspected Cowell was sleeping with Sarah Whatmore, him saying he wanted to marry her at the audition then giving her a record deal...she was nothing special vocally and had no great charisma
Pop Idol 1 - Zoe Birkett had a fleeting music career, but now does musical theatre. She's currently one of the leads in Moulin Rouge! and also runs a stage school in her home town of Darlington.Pop Idol - no one I can really remember (and briefly Darius and Gareth)
Pop Idol 2 - no one
Popstars, Popstars the Rivals - Girls Aloud, Liberty X, Hear'Say (again, briefly and the girls/Kevin Lib X still pretty famous)
XFactor - Little Mix, 1D and Leona obvs. Shayne, JLS, Alexandra Burke, Olly Murs, Stacey Soloman, Rylan are all still kicking about whether its music, TV, theatre, acting etc...
Bloody good investigative work there @Pinkii , I'm impressed!
