ZOE Birkett says she is 'very proud' to appear on the forthcoming Pop Idol album.

Pop Idol The Big Band Album features all 10 finalists singing their favourite swing tracks from the series.

It will be released on April 8.

Zoe, who appears on three tracks on the album, said: "Six months ago it was my dream to make an album. I never thought that it would actually come true.

"To be singing some of the greatest, old-style tracks that I was brought up listening to makes this a doubly special occasion. I'm so proud of what we've all achieved."

Please no!!!!!!

I am defitonly going to get it

It will be a memory of the PI tour as all those songs were sung at the tour in second half

I can't wait for this. On CUK Cat said Get Happy was the lead track from it, and they showed a bit of a video all from the PI tour. It's such a great song that I've been singing it ever since. So positive and perfect for Spring.


Dominic Mohan has been trying to make out it's another snub on Will (and Gareth this time) because Zoe is doing more singing on it, but they're going to have their own albums soon, so I'm sure they'll cope with Zoe having a little glory all of her own.

Zoe deserves it, because to me she was the best on Big Band night and it's where she excelled. I missed on the tour because she had to pull out, but every review I've read of the tour said Get Happy was a read show stopper, so who cares if she 'only' came 4th.

I'm going to have to go to the shop on Monday lunchtime to get it, then listen to it all afternoon with my headphones in the office. The only drawback is I can't dance while I'm plugged in.
