Now That's What I Call Reality Pop

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I tried this on ILM during the Rough Guide era - the object being to create a compilation CD that would showcase the best of reality TV pop. The rules being:

- only 1 track per artist
- only artists and bands who formed/rose to stardom through a reality TV show
- only ace pop please.
- nothing pre 2000 (interesting cases of pre-Popstars/Pop Idol RTV shd be cited in the comments though)

So help me out. I've done the easy ones for starters:

Girls Aloud - No Good Advice
Will Young - Leave Right Now
Kelly Clarkson - Since You Been Gone
Hear'Say - Pure And Simple
Gareth Gates - Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)
...

Over to you! (Foreign entries particularly welcome)

Ania (Dąbrowska) - Glory (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=F03CFCDA0B856561)
Competed in the first Polish Idol in 2002 (Ha ha, I always thought she won since a major signed her and financed a video, but just discovered that she finished 8th!) Almost certain to be too mopey for Lex, but I think it's fantastic.

Fabrika - Pro Lyubov (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=C64A543E0CEE06EC)
Came in second in the first season of Russian "Star Factory" in 2002. More like Fame Academy than Idol, in that there was more or less 24-hour broadcast of their lives in a house. A week before the final concert (in Russia's equivalent of Wembley!) the producers announced they would form two groups, a boy-band and a girl group plus allow a comedy rapper to compete. The comedy rapper has become an MTV DJ, while both groups have carved out reasonably successful pop careers.
