Alexz Johnson plays the lead role of character Jude Harrison in the television series "Instant Star. The TV show follows the life of the main character
Jude Harrison after she has won a "music idol" TV show (like American Idol or Canadian Idol).
Regardless of whether you watch the "Instant Star" TV show or not, the "Songs From Instant Star" CD is worth a listen. It
has some very good songs on it. Alexz Johnson is an excellent singer and I hope to hear more CD's from her in the future, independent of "Instant Star".
If you do watch the "Instant Star" TV show, you can get a better understand of the lyrics of the songs. For example, the song "(Under my) Skin" was written by Alexz's character Jude after
Jude discovered her character's (Jude's) father having an affair. The song was Jude's way of creatively expressing her feelings.
Vancouver native Alexz Johnson, the artist/songwriter least likely to enter a singing contest, is ironically playing one in CTV's hit series currently taking Canada by storm. Instant Star features 18 year old Alexz playing the younger Jude Harrison, a naive singer struggling with the emotional highs and lows of becoming a star. This CD features 13 total tracks including 'Temporary Insanity', 'Pick Up The Pieces', 'Criminal' & 'Waste My Time' to name a few. Universal. 2005.
