==Formation==


In ] a new UK talent search show called '']'' was launched, with the aim of creating a five-piece boy band and a five-piece girl band. Following the success of ] (winners of the original ''Popstars'' show), several thousand applicants attended auditions around the UK, hoping for a place in one of the groups. Ten men and ten women were selected from the auditions to go forward as finalists. However, before the first round of the finals two of the original female finalists were replaced: Hazel Kaneswaren was found to be too old to participate, whilst Nicola Ward refused to sign the contract. Two new finalists (Kimberly Walsh and Nicola Roberts) were chosen, and the show continued.


During October and November, the finalists took to the stage every Saturday night, singing for their place in one of the two bands. One contestant was eliminated each week until the final line-ups emerged. The resulting female line-up became Girls Aloud, managed by ]. The winning ] was called ] and was managed by ].


Hello. My name is Michael Lindeen. I live in ]. I work as a phone-based tech support person. I am also currently a member of the Cleanup Taskforce (see below). My main goal on Misplaced Pages is to make it as clean and concise as possible. I am a Janitor, not a creator. I've created a few pages, but for the most part, I do a lot of copyediting. I am also involved in many of the active cleanup projects, especially anything that ] is working on.
In ] ] the two bands competed for the symbolic number one position in the Christmas Week UK's singles chart. Girls Aloud won with their single ''Sound of the Underground'' which then stayed at number one for four weeks. ] viewers later voted this as best single of 2002-2003 at the Disney Channel Kids Awards. Originally tipped to be more successful than the girls, One True Voice released just two singles, achieved little success and quickly disbanded.

Girls Aloud followed their debut single with the number 2 hit ''No Good Advice'', proving that they weren't going to be one-hit wonders. This track went on to become one of the biggest of the year, and was also the first winner of the tongue-in-cheek ] £20 Music Prize.
