Advantages: She'll disappear again, She married Chris. Goodbye career!

Disadvantages: She's pop, It's Billie! No reasons needed., Some plastic surgery would be nice. She can afford it now

Billie was given a recording contract after being spotted modelling for the popular pop magazine, Smash Hits. She was never asked to sing, rather she was chosen for her "looks", although myself, I find her repulsive and I know a lot of people agree with me. I think if her record label had have judged her by her voice and not whether she was in a famous magazine or not we’d never have to put up with her rubbish.

Her lack of ability really shows on her first album with the clique Little Miss Sweet & Innocent we’ve seen before from the likes of Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. And just like the rest she turned sour by her second album, which she chose to approach with what she claims to be a more "serious approach" when all she did was add a last name and wear less clothing in her videos.

Billie was never popular but after dating (and eventually dumping over the phone) 5ive’s Richard Neville (teenie heart-throb) her popularity sunk to an all time low with jealous teenyboppers booing her off stage at Smash Hits Awards and one 5ive fan threatening to kill her after she claims Billie gave her a "dirty look" at a party.

After Richard and some golfing dude no one ever mentions, Billie met her future husband, a mid-thirty year old Chris Evans. After just a few months of dating and still only 18-years-old, Billie married the millionaire disgusting even her most dedicated fans since his daughter is only 2 years younger than Billie and he never sees the child nor does he pay child support.

In the mist of her pop journey she’s disappeared for over a year, been dropped by her record company and her future looks dim. She keeps her fans in the dark and basically treats them like second class. How she keeps fans I’ll never know. I’ve seen her in person and she’s not very inviting. Probably knew I hated her, lol.

*Singles*

Billie scored her first big hit wi
th "Because We Want To", which became the ‘disrespect your parents’ anthem for young girls across the UK. Billie was approached about how her song was influencing children to stay up late, eat too much candy and mess about simply crying "because we want to!" as an excuse and all she did was giggle and say "It’s not my problem".

Her follow up single was "Girlfriend", which contained a few corny pick up lines such as, "Can I have your number? Can I have your number? You’re lookin’ real cool! You’re lookin’ real cool!". You can guess it topped the UK charts just like the first single.

Third to be released off the "Honey To The B" album was the title track but it’s printed as "Honey To The Bee". This was her biggest hit since it actually charted outside the UK. It was popular because of its love theme, about needing that special someone.

Over a year later we saw a new album and a new image (already explained). The first track was "Day & Night". A 5ive’s "If Ya Getting Down" meets Britney’s "Crazy". It charted high in the UK.

Second single was "Something Deep Inside", which charted in the top 10. It was finished after three weeks and never heard again.

Third and final single was the title track, "Walk Of Life", and for the first time in the UK, her single flopped. It charted a measly number 26, which is bad considering nearly everything gets one week and number one in the UK. This put Billie’s career in jeopardy. After that Billie was told her next single HAD to go to number one or she would be dropped, so, Billie actually did something smart for once in her life. She didn’t release another single from the album and told press she was "taking time off for another album". Time passed and Billie was dropped for not even half compl
eting her new album in over a year. Even though she’s manufactured somehow her album wasn’t working out.

None of her songs were international hits except "Honey To The Bee", which charted at number 5 in Australia. The only song Billie co-wrote on her first album was "Love Groove", which proved to be unpopular with the fans.
