Shakespeare's way with words, Shakespeare's Sister's way with chart success.

But Shakespeare's Sister had a No 1..

you haven't thought this thru Dom ;)

the funny thing is One True Voice have surely sold more records than Lisa Maffia - but yeh her two singles are much better

How many bands with "Shakespeare" in their title had a #2 and a #10?

And surely they've had more chart success than D-Side or Triple 8?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

shakespeare's sister wwer fucking awful so dom you really haven't thought this through...

Aren't the popstars loser loser LOSER boys that all looked like robbie from eastenders putting out a single?

― j0e (j0e), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Glad in principle that they've gone, but I actually quite like both the singles.

I wouldn't worry about too many solo singles - although Daniel had an evil glint in his eye throughout their final interview on Popworld.

A member of reality TV band One True Voice has announced a solo deal just one day after the group's split was confirmed.

Matt Johnson has signed to stay with record company Jive, which had signed the group.

One True Voice were formed on ITV1 show Popstars: The Rivals - but failed to match the success of their female counterparts, Girls Aloud.

"A band split has been confirmed," a statement on the band's website said.

"However, Matt, signed to Jive... is to start on a solo project and is hoping to release a single in the near future."

Johnson, 17, from Deeside, north Wales, was the youngest member of the group, who were managed by Pete Waterman.

The confirmation of the split ended weeks of rumours that the group called it a day after disappointing sales.

The band join Hear'Say on the scrap heap of pop groups formed by reality TV but disbanded once success was hard to maintain.

Daniel Pearce quit the band in June for a solo career, leaving four remaining members.

The band then released the single Shakespeare's (Way With) Words, but the single barely made it into the top 10.

One True Voice were also voted Britain's worst group in a poll, just a day after their tour was cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

"Good riddance! It's not the 'bands' fault, but the industry's. Trying to ram that sugary pap down everybody's throats won't work. That's why Evanescence went to Number one. That's why the Darkness are doing so well. Because the only style of music that is honest is rock music. Face the facts. The only bands that attain longevity are rock bands. AC/DC, The Stones, Quo, Killing Joke , Skynyrd, Motorhead, U2 etc. It might not be deemed newsworthy or cool or hip, but whilst all those five minute wonders have long gone, the above bands have forged a career & are still doing it. I hope The Darkness attain this standard. Death to reality TV pop shows.
