Anton from One True Voice has already found a new band. He’s teaming up with Coree from Damage and Ben from Phats and Small. Ben tells Radio 1 that critics shouldn’t write Anton off. “Anton’s voice is beyond Peter Waterman and it’s beyond critics,” he said. “He in the last six or seven years is one of the most remarkable singers I’ve come across, and I think the general public knew that and that’s why they voted for him. What happened with One True Voice was what happened there, but I think that his talent outshines that whole situation.”

‘Popstars’ winner Jamie Shaw spoke with The Sun about his nightmare in boy band One True Voice, and warned the new ‘Pop Idol’ wannabes that the show will leave their dreams in tatters too. “We were doomed from the start,” Shaw said. “We would have stood a chance if Pete had been interested in us. But he did not support us and gave us a horrible Eighties look and sound. He was a great producer ten years ago but he had no idea how to make us work.”

Daniel Pearce is quitting One True Voice, according to bandmate Anton Romero. He tells Radio 1, “We’re not splitting up, we’re not splitting up at all… I don’t think Daniel’s happy. I think he’s leaving the band maybe, but we’re not splitting up. He just has his own personal reasons really. And fair play to him – he’s a talented guy and I wish him all the best.”

After being a group for only six months, The Sun reports One True Voice are splitting. Daniel Pearce will tell his groupmates today that he’s quitting after their second single ‘Shakespeare’s (Way With) Words’ struggled to sell just 10,000 copies and looks set to lose money for record label Jive. “The placing of the single was the last straw,” a pal of Pierce’s revealed. “He knows they are never going to have a fair crack of the whip so sees no point in continuing as a band. There’s no way back for them now.” Read more.

One True Voice tell Radio 1 they’re looking for a new manager, though they insist it wasn’t a falling out with Pete Waterman. “After Christmas, we were all a bit confused, and we weren’t actually sure whether Pete was our manager or not, and it’s only when we researched hard, we found out that we didn’t have a manager,” the band said.

The Scottish Daily Record reports One True Voice’s second single ‘Shakespeare’s (Way With) Words’ will be released on June 2nd, three weeks after Girls Aloud’s ‘No Good Advice’ is released on May 12th. Singer Daniel Pearce said, “I hope it’s not another battle between us and Girls Aloud. I hope we can both do as well as each other this time.” As for the insults the band has received after being labeled one-hit wonders, he says, “It’s always hard to get taken seriously if you’ve been on one of those shows because the press are always after bands who have been part of a reality TV show. So you’ve just got to be strong.”
