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)

G-G-Gates should be removed swiftly.

Fantasia Barrino - It's All Good (pretty fab r&b courtesy of American Idol; she has a strange croaky voice like a less annoying Macy Gray (I do like Macy G though))

Javine - Best Of My Love (reasons here (http://ilmixor.blogspot.com/2005/02/javine-best-of-my-love.html); 'Real Things' and 'Touch My Fire' also fantastic, though not as good as this. Javine signed my copy of Plan B once, you know)

Alex Parks - Maybe That's What It Takes (the barrel is being scraped but this is a reasonably decent ballad)

arguably Paris Hilton - Screwed as well.

"Anyone Of Us" is FANTASTIC Lex! Especially as it's the only r-TV pop single to properly reflect the sleb's real life i.e. shagging Jordan.

It's so WEEDY though, I hate G-G-G's voice with a passion and cannot even stand to look at his face.

Greg is going to be unhappy when he reads this!

could we include a video of the "lemar from afar" feature from popworld?
