I’ve been doing a rewatch of the seminal 2001 British reality show Popstars and it really was the most unhinged reality show ever seen on British television.

It still makes me laugh that Sugababes asked their fans to send in photos of themselves for “a special project” and it turned out to be the video backdrop to Ugly

There was a contestant who they did a reverse Nadine Coyle to and removed her from the competition because she was aged 30 and too close to receiving her state pension.

If this has made you want to revisit Popstars, it has now been uploaded in full to YouTube. I would recommend viewing along with copious amounts of wine. Or Smirnoff Ice if you really want that 2001 feeling.

One final addition - just done a search for where people are now and came across news that ‘Nasty’ Nigel is facing multiple claims of sexual assault. This thread is in no way an endorsement of Nigel Lythgoe’s behaviour or should act as any form of support towards such behaviour.

I’m happy for Murder on the Dancefloor but if any Sophie Ellis-Bextor song deserved a chart resurgence in 2024, it’s Hypnotized.

Bold suggestion for
#BRITs
- move it to a different UK city every year. Build up buzz in that city, move the BRITs Week gigs to there, channel bursary funding into that city and showcase local talent. Take the awards to the people and let them get excited about

again.

I’ll end this thread with the moment where ‘Nasty Nigel’ (not a singer) welcomed the contestants to Bootcamp with a strange rendition of ‘I Will Survive’.
A programme of its time, never to be repeated.

Paul’s exit. The best reality TV show villain we’ve had in recent years. An incredible show. Fair play to the guy. Take a bow.

I’m going to miss these 3 just talking about life. It’s proper comfort listening. Like you’re the 4th friend in the pub, or the person sitting alone at the next table wishing you were sat with them.

The fact she lost them in a car crash and keeps the remains in a plastic bag in her house cuts deep (no pun intended).

The Wanted are back. Great 1st show back. Setlist was just banger after banger. Tom was missed but the boys brought it. Felt like it was 2011 all over again.

“Rest in Peace”. Nobody will have died and the chapter title will refer to Belinda having an early night.

I have a table from the T in the Park VIP area which acts started signing. Little Mix, Bastille, Rudimental, Jake Bugg to name but a few. Took the legs off and it’s now hanging at the top of my stairs.

It comes into its own once the band is formed and you see the making of the debut single/album and the work that goes into launching a pop group. So of course they dropped that for series 2 and it became another singing competition… (although yes, it did give us Girls Aloud)
