Pop Idol is a crueler more commercial spin off from the same company who bought us Popstars.It again offers the chance for wannabes to emulate Hearsay and be plucked for stardom from no where. And also sign away all their legal rites to the royalties and intellectual patents to disappear after one year in to the same anomininity where they came ...  Read the complete review

I know this is in the Popstars section, but I have tried to suggest a Pop Idols section and it hasn't came up yet. Anyway both programmes are nearly the same. Pop Idols is another version of Pop Stars - this is where a panel looked for 5 people to form a group, which ended up as Hear'say. Pop Idols is just looking for 1 singer and ...  Read the complete review

What is the problem with television producers nowadays? I am sorry but I am sick and tired of seeing complete and utter rubbish shown on the television. What I am referring to is this "increase" in so called "reality" television. It all started a long time ago in a faraway place where a very intelligent man called ...  Read the complete review

Some kind of Pop Stars/Pop Idol type programme but featuring 8-14yr olds. S Club 7/CBBC have been holding auditions this weekend for kids to make up a support group for their concert at Wembley in Feb 2002. My daughters’ friend saw this advertised on CBBC and asked if my daughter would like to go with her to the audition. ...  Read the complete review

Society is so very quick to judge these days. Gone are the days when everyone got a chance to prove themselves, the Popstar group were judged before they even knew they had been picked! I feel strongly on this subject, particluarly on this area of the TV show Popstars. I was not the most avid fan of the programme and could readily accept ...  Read the complete review

Excuse me, I thought the idea of Popstars and the thus-resulting Hear'Say would be a new kind of band, destroying all the cliches of modern music. How we were fooled. What have Hear'Say got that no other band has got? Please let me know as I have yet to find it. There are the compulsary five members who have become 'bestest ...  Read the complete review

I don't like Popstars. I don't like the very idea of it. I don't like maunfactured pop. I don't like bands that don't play their own instruments. I sound like a typical sixteen year old boy, don't I? In my opinion, this show did nothing but solidify my personal belief that the music industry has turned into a joke ...  Read the complete review

I started to watch this exciting (yawn, yawn) programme of over inflated egos, thousands of auditions, people wanting to make it big in the delightful world of singing, when it first started in January. I`m talking about the latest thing to show on our televisions, the unfamous popstars. The adverts for this were mildly ...  Read the complete review

Today we are going to talk about Hear ‘ Say. Hear ’ Say is a mixed band made up of Kim,Danny, Suzanne, Noel and Myleene.Here’s how they got where they are today. Well , it all started out when the 1000’s of people decided to try to get in to the now legendary POPSTARS t.v. show!!! Week after week viewers ...  Read the complete review

Popstars was such a horrible, disghusting festering pile of cucumbers made out of frozen whale urin and smothered in Dolphin fat that I've ever seen! 'How much rubbish is there, in this room' said Darius. 'I will be even more twats than the people who pass the auditions. I will get a triple excrement award for my album, I will ...  Read the complete review

Dooyooers, This real life soap opera follows the triumphs and tears of a group of young people chosen to be the latest pop sensations. Selected from thousands of hopefuls who auditioned across the country, the new group will attempt to storm the charts with their first single, due out early this year. The TV cameras are there to ...  Read the complete review

When the popstars series first started, I was doubtful. I thought it would be a run of the mill docu-soap! But I admit it I was wrong! I am now almost there number one fan! Noel, Suzanne, Myleene, Kym and Danny were chosen from masses of people. There were literally thousands of young hopefuls. The three judges dwindles it down to just ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely loved popstars, forget whether you like the band or not, the show was excellent. So exciting to get such insight into the making of a band, to see how they deal with all the dream fulfilling things that they went through. It's so much nicer to have some insight into what the people in the band are like. Watching them ...  Read the complete review

I watch this show once with doubts in my mind and found that it was strangely addictive. I found it quite interesting to see how people reacted to the panel and how the panel made its decisions, and how the winners reacted to the press. Its one of those programs that people find themselves having to watch the next episode of. They sit down and ...  Read the complete review

Popstars was a real eye-opening documentary set in the world of the music business and the search for a new band who would be groomed to be the 'next big thing'. Thousands of people took part in the auditions showing that there is an enormous amount of talent out there, but in the end only 5 people got through to be in the band. The ...  Read the complete review

With the conclusion of the 'Popstars' set of programmes, it seems to have been ages since the whole process began. It seems to have certainly proved the lack of talent that is needed to be part of a band today and the power of the media. The process started a few months ago with the initial selections from something like 2000 ...  Read the complete review

The opening episode of ITV's Popstars, got me hooked! The thousands of applicant's that applied, and the fact that the judges had to get them down to just 5, was amazing. There was of course the obligatory 'I am the best singer in the world' type person, who was completly tone deaf! But there was also many hundreds who had ...  Read the complete review

I haven't been watching popstars since the start but saw it enough to see Darius make an arse of himself and Nigel tell Kym she is fat. I find it fascinating to see what goes into making a "band" but I have no interest in pop music. Sure enough Hearsay's first single "All Around the World" sorry ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit i was was and still am addicted to to the programme that concentrates on showing talented popstar hopefulls. Now, however all the auditions have been and gone and Nigel has actually picked them!The band that's now called Hear'say. I have to admit i did think that somehow talented young people would have ...  Read the complete review
