POP veteran just one of the crowd

Rachel Stevens of SCLUB7 reportedly in the audience of to-night's (21 03 06) American Idol episode. The camera did a pan of the audience and there she was: just one of the crowd. There was no mention of her or her connection to Simon Fuller (who created the POP IDOL franchise) who is owner of 19 management whom she is contracted with.

Sad that a pop veteran like Ms Stevens at the grande olde age of 28 is already yesterday's news. Her recent solo album is awesome and is easily one of the best releases (pop or otherwise) of 2005; critics across the board loved it. The record-buying public on the other hand did not.

Of course this makes us popsters wonder what the hell she was doing there. Is she planning a US release? Time will tell.

It would've been awesome though if she sat there with dark sunglasses, a looooong cigarette and a martini in her hand sniggering at all the performers. Sigh ...

Seriously, Come and Get It is an great CD.
