Talent shows on TV

[Waaii]

Just watched the 'Maria thing' on BBC1 TV with Lemar as guest.
Got me thinking. What happened to the Sneddon guy who won pop stars type programme, also the one with the stutter and the girl from Cornwall? At the time I thought they were great but shows how fickle we are can't even be sure of their names now.
They got big prizes and a good start to a career in Showbiz - but did they give it all up, were not successful or what? Anyone know?

I know Alex Parks (girl from Cornwall) released her 2nd album earlier this year but i think it flopped. Also do you remember Ainslie the cheeky scottish guy or what about Pete the bloke who tried to be like Pete Doherty ? I know they didnt win it but they didnt get anything from the show either like some runners up do.

David Sneddon has been doing some writing apparantly, for other artists as well as himself. The only gigs he's been doing is London clubs etc. So many people just disappear after their 15 minutes of fame on those kind of programmes. Of all the pop stars, pop idols, fame academies and x factors very few have stayed in the limelight - Will Young and Girls Aloud are the main two that spring to mind.

I named two puppies Ainsley and Malachi after the two on Pop Idol (Everyone thinks Ainsley is named after that twit who tries to cook). Whatever happened to them?
