JAVINE Hilton is the popular contestant who was voted off Pop Idol and didn't make it to the Girls Aloud pop group.
She was always the one with the best voice - soulful and powerful - and there was controversy when she left. She is now a successful solo singer going her own way, and, with good management, could easily become an enduring star.
Sorry to say that is not the likely scenario for Girls Aloud, who - like the Pop Idol boys' group, One True Voice, which bombed pretty quickly - probably won't survive for another year.
The tricky ingredient is talent: she's got it, they haven't.
