Summary:
Welcome to the Popstars: The Rivals guide at TV.Com.
In Popstars : The Rivals, three judges will whittle down several thousand singers, from open auditions around the UK to just ten boys and ten girls. A weekly vote will see one of the ten hopefuls thier marching orders, until just five remain of each sex. From these five a male and female group will be formed, who will battle for the Christmas Number One of 2002.
This show was created by ITV as a follow-up to the hugely successful 'Popstars'. The series' three judges were ex-Spice Girl and solo artist Geri Halliwell, Music producer Pete Waterman and Manager Louis Walsh. The show was hosted by Davina McCall. The series was ITV's highest rated Saturday night programme, and it gave Girls Aloud the Christmas #1 of 2002. Girls Aloud have released an album and three singles, but One True Voice have now split after just two singles.
