Other "Rivals"?

Don't know if anywhere else did the Popstars: The Rivals idea for the second series. Anyone? violet/riga 12:48, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Dates

This article needs some dates in it to set when this series occurred. MK2 04:09, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

flopstars?

I thought flopstars referred to the people who were eliminated and later went on to some success? Giving "girls aloud" this reference doesn't make much sense since they were winners, eh?

Jon

Jon, from Denmark, is listed as having "flopped", but from what I understand, he is on his second album and still releasing singles that are charting and getting radio and club play in Denmark (see [1], [2], [3], and [4], for example, the latter two links being his from his official site and listing his remix--a remix done by a group which he is part of--as being at #5 on the dance charts and another song as being a "hit single"; I know artists can exaggerate with the definition of "hit", but I would think that if the single can possibly be called a hit, and it's from his second album, he's not a flop). I don't know where I can find the history of Danish singles charts, so I don't know the chart placing--but is this enough to remove the "flopped" label from the article?

Hungary

Popstars was in Hungary, too. It was broadcasting by TV2.

Singles

I am starting a chart to list out all the singles released by artists created by PopStars which reached #1 in their respective nation's sales charts. Please add to it for any country you know.Amiaheroyet (talk) 20:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm bad with tables, but Gimmel from Finland had two #1 singles, "Etsit muijaa seuraavaa" from 25 November 2002 and "Sydän pliis särkekää" from 2003, according to finnish wikipedia. 82.141.66.153 (talk) 05:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

judges and producer for the different countries

This article doesn't mention who produced the regional versions of the show. Nigel Lythgoe's article states: He came to UK public attention when he was a judge and an executive producer for the ill-fated ITV1 show Popstars. '. Should this be included? -- JanCK (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles does a poor job of explaining the basic concept of the show

I tried reading the intro to get a sense of what the basic concept the the Popstars franchise is and all I get from it is it has something to do with music and singers and has some similarity in some way to the latter Idol franchise but that's it. Is it a musical musical talent contest like all the Idol shows around the world, where contested are illuminated week by week until you have a final winner? If so then maybe there should be some info on how contestants get on the show, how they are illuminated, and the role of the judges on the show (there are a panel of judges right?). Currently, the article comes across as if it assumes the reader is familiar with the Idol franchise and thus should be familiar with the concept of this show but it's clear to me that the two franchises are that similar, and even if they are, one shouldn't have to be familiar with the other to know what the basic format of Popstars is when reading this article. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
