Velvet Empire - Velvet Empire (2002)

I think it's due time to explore a couple groups that were spawned out of the television show Popstars. Of course, I'm starting with one from my homeland, Canada. Velvet Empire was comprised of the winners of the second season of Popstars Canada. The first season spawned Sugar Jones, an all-girl group who managed to have a Canadian hit with "Days Like That". For the second season, the producers wished to form a boy-girl group (thus aping the American version, as always, which first produced the minorly successful all-girl group Eden's Crush and then the non-successful boy-girl group Scene 23, who are coming up). Comprised of three girls and two boys of limited talent and looks, the group was a pretty resounding flop. In fact, the only memorable thing about them was the fact that they had one of the worst group names EVER. The music aped the Britney/N Sync pop-R&B sound, but two years too late, with the whole pop scene pretty much crumbling at that point in time. However, at least they had some profile, as I have no recollection of who won the next, and last, season of the Canadian Popstars show.
