The
group entitled O-Town, short for Orlando town, was created by the same
guy who brought you the Backstreet Boys, and Nsync. Lou Pearlman had
this wacky idea to hold auditions in several different locations
nationwide, in order to create the next "boy band" of pop
music. On the hit TV show "Making the Band," on ABC, this is
were many guys dreams hoped to become realities. Many guys tried out and
they finally narrowed it down to eight guys. (Bryan Chan, Jacob
Underwood, Ashley Angel, Mike Miller, Ikaika Kahaono, Erik Estrada,
Trevor Penick, and Paul Martin.) These eight worked even harder, and
they cut it down again to the "final five." (Jacob Underwood,
Ashley Angel, Erik Estrada, Trevor Penick, and Ikaika Kahaono.) They
recorded two songs entitled, "All for love," and "Baby I
would."
Once the one member, Ikaika, left the band, because of family troubles,
O-Town was in a bit of trouble. They only had four members, and they
really couldn't do it alone, because they needed an extra voice. This is
when the group decided to bring in the talents of Daniel Miller. It was
up to the chorographers, and music people to decide if Dan would be in.
After a few days, Dan was declared the newest member of the group.
Ever since then, they have been hard at work. They've been under a lot
of pressure to make deadlines, and to show, that they can make it in
this hard business. And I think they are doing a fine job. Now with the
new realase of
their new album, entitled, "O-Town", they will let the whole
world listen to
and appreciate the hard work and dedication these boys put into their
music. And it shows because within the first week it was realesed it
sold 144,529 copies. Not to bad for a brand new group.
