Popstars: The Rivals

In the show, single gender pop groups were created through a public vote and competed in the

Christmas number one single. One True Voice's debut single was double A-side "Sacred Trust / After You're Gone" which competed against ‘girl group’ Girls Aloud and their debut song "Sound of the Underground

In June 2003, Daniel Pearce left the group to pursue a solo career.

By August 2003, the group had fully disbanded without releasing an album.[1]
