Background

On March 1, 2002,

popstar", the name of the reality show. Professionals in the music industry would choose the best candidates in several stages, going through a rigorous selection to form a pop girl group.[3] The show Popstars, a co-production of SBT and RGB in partnership with Sony Music, received 30,000 entries from girls aged 18 to 25 from all over Brazil. In the first round, 6,000 girls were chosen, and on the second round, they were cut down to 2,000.[4]

Popstars had 20 episodes. They were broadcast every Saturday on SBT, and during the week, a one-minute newsletter was displayed at the same time as the weekly attraction at 7:45 p.m. Sony Music was responsible for the release of the album, music video and concerts. The panel was formed by the producer

Luciana Andrade and Aline Wirley.[6] The first members of the group were Karin and Patricia, being the first to be called.[7] Soon after, Fantine, Luciana and Aline were also summoned, thus forming the group "Rouge", name chosen by the members themselves, who among some options given, found that in addition to having five members and also because in French it means red, it is associated color to sensuality ... and it's pop! ".[1][3]

Recording and Songs

Amid the eliminations and tests to continue in the program, the group's first album, which had no name yet, was already being recorded. The song "Nunca Deixa de Sonhar" was recorded by the trio KLB with the aim of showing that everyone should go after their dreams. Thus, Kiko told that the girls would record the song with them and that the song would be part of the first disc of the "PopStars".[8] The album counts with fourteen tracks, being 9 versions of international songs, and the other 5 compositions of Rick Bonadio, in partnership with other composers. Bonadio emphasized the participation of the Popstars in the vocal arrangements, saying: "They contributed a lot, choosing who would sing what."[1] Liminha went to a meeting with Sony representatives from around the world and commented that she needed a repertoire for a group that would launch in Brazil, receiving from Spain the song "Ragatanga", sung by a group called Las Ketchup. From there, Bonadio made a version and turned it into Ragatanga, a key hit that says unrelated words adopted by children. "The secret of a good version is to have fidelity to the original, not to try to invent," Minister Bonadio.[3][9]

But the music that drove their success to heights, however, almost did not come on the album. "The list of songs was ready when I heard about 'Ragatanga,'" Schiavo said. The chorus of the song, "Aserehe ra de re De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi" does not mean anything. that the people who do not know English usually sing "Thing that the adolescents of the Ketchup invented", it counts.The Brazilian version has a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese.[10] The song "Não Dá Pra Resistir" is a version of Milton Guedes for the song "Irresistible" by Frederik Thomander and sung by Nikki Cleary.[11] The album also brings other romantic ballads full of lyrics talking about youthful passions.[3][12]

Release and promotion

After the recording of the album, the girls faced a marathon, participating in the show Domingo Legal of

Campinas, São Paulo, bringing together 10,000 people.[14] On August 31, they performed the first live performance, in Via Funchal, one of the biggest concert halls in São Paulo.[3][15] "Hoje Eu Sei", was inserted as a soundtrack to SBT's soap opera Jamais Te Esquecerei (2003) and was later included in the album Mil e Uma Noites (2005).[3] The "Não Dá Pra Resistir" Music was the subject of SBT's soap opera Pequena Travessa.[16]

During the preparation of the group on the show Popstars,

Folha de Londrina; "she practically ran over the song "Não Dá pra Resistir", which was meant to be the group's hit."[20] The song became not only the biggest hit of the album, but the band's biggest hit, reaching and remaining at number one on the radio for 11 weeks.[23] Months after "Ragatanga" lose strength on the radio, The fourth and final single from Rouge, the song "Beijo Molhado", released as a single summer on 19 January 2003.[24] In February, the song reached the fourth position in the ranking of the most played songs in Brazil.[25]
