Sarah Whatmore – When I Lost You
After failing to make it past the live heats of ‘Pop Idol’, Simon Fuller stepped in to ensure Sarah Whatmore got her shot at stardom.
Sugababes – Red Dress
The Sugababes’ fourth album campaign continued apace as they released ‘Red Dress’. But something seemed a little different…
