Rosie Ribbons

Rosie Ribbons was a finalist on the Reality TV Programme 'Pop Idol', finishing in 6th place despite being an initial favourite to win - much like Pop Idol 2 6th place finalist, Roxanne Cooper. Issues in Rosie's private life affected her performances midway through the competition, and she was eliminated after her Christmas performance failed to win the public over. The eventual winner of the series was Will Young, now one of the UK's lead male vocalists. After failing to wow the public Rosie signed to Telstar Records and released two singles 'Blink' which got to #12 and 'A Little Bit' #19 which failed to catch the public attention it deserved. The songs were R'n'B based, and a far cry from the girl-next-door image Rosie had in Pop Idol. The album 'Misbehaving' was shelved as her record label fell into bankruptcy.
