You too can be a superstar!

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Just been doing this with someone on MSN.

OK. Imagine you were just about to start a musical career now. Imagine you are a young, healthy, attractive person.

Would you be in a band or on your own?
Name?
Style/genre?
Name of first album.
Who would your first duet/band ft......type thing be with?

If you are already in a band, pretend you aren't.

I would be in a group like the Black Eyed Peas, but be more old skool, less poppy, and have a DJ in the outfit.

We would be called Desmond's Tutu.

First album- self-titled. It would be an undergroup record anyway. The first mainstream album would probably be called Breaking Out.

We would first work with a legend, just to get started. Desmond's Tutu ft. Lionel Richie.

    Ooh, nice post! I love thinking about this stuff! I'd love to be famous... Well I can dream.

    I'd be the only girl in a rock/punk band. Something a bit like Red Hot Chili Peppers or maybe Blink 182. There'd be 3 other members, all sexy rock/indie types. I'd be the cool guitarist/singer.

    We'd be called Firenze :D

    Our first album would be called Angels Without Wings (for no apparent reason, I just made that up then). If we did a duet thing, we'd make a record with Dave Grohl or Tom DeLonge, just for the heck of it :D

    Ah if only this would come true.

    I've decided I wanna be solo.

    I think Bri-namite would do as a name, as my surname aint very showbiz :p

    I'd do sloooow pop, and my first single would be a double A side, a cover of Yesterday, and a song I'm writing at the mo actually :)

    Album would be called One Moment In Time, and I wanna duet with Ms Dy-namite, just foir the marketing value :p

    BTW is this a good time to reveal to the world I'm maybe getting recomemnded for a BMG developmental contract/funding thingy? :thumb:

    i'd be the singer in a folk rock group, and i'd grow my hair long, change my name to Wind, and have several tempstuous affairs with the musicians, who would all be over 40 and called albert.

    we'd probably be called The Blackberries.

    Would it feature Martine McCutcheon? :p

    Ah I don't know anything of music :( but ah well :)

    I wouldn't be a singer. I can't sing. Or play any instruments. I would be 'alternative' and play something like Ross did in friends :). My first album would be 'if you bought this then you're going to heaven' and I'd duet with Michelle Branch - if only so I could meet her and watch her sing :love:

    Yes. So there aren't lots of replies saying " Oh I'm too old to be in a band" or " do you think I am pretty enough?".

    Avail, hardcore punk band from Richmond, VA

    Also, Joe (the guitarist for the band) performed in a jazz album back in 1966. So that disproves both your attractiveness and your age theory! :p

    (Not getting personal, I do know what you mean, especially with pop music)
