Wasn't Justin Hawkins defeated in the heats for our Eurovision entry a few years back by Scooch? I think he proceeded to call the British public racist or stupid, and then faded into obscurity. Nice work Justin.

Yeah he was part of a duo with some black girl... he didn't even make the final two (some woman did, I can't remember her name, but Terry Wogan called her name instead of Scooch's... think it might have been Cyndi?)

He was a druggie, think it was that more than them failing to live up to the hype, then he went all weird left the darkness and done that solo project

I heard he was on drugs too, and he was not 'classically handsome' but wow what a voice!

Ladyhawke. I first saw her on the comedy show FM and then caught snatches of her songs at friends houses/ on the radio and thought she sounded promising....So I bought the album and was massively disappointed..she's ok as quiet background noise but the music doesn't hold up to a proper listen, just a bit blah really

Keane is another group that failed to live up to the hype.

I like the group but they're not as massive as I was expecting them to be.

Their singles have never really done that well but all three albums went to no. 1 and the first is 9 x platinum. They have a new album coming out next month Their last was in 2008.

Her husband died. It was really sad, and she wrote an album about it that came out either last year or the year before... it was really well-received, and I think got Mercury-nominated, and it did get to #5 in the UK

Awww. I liked her, but she seemed to fade into obscurity so quickly. I didn't know she had a new album.

Dido is another one. She had two massive world-wide selling albums, then, gone.

Jessie J didn't live up to the critical hype she amassed last year. 'Who You Are' is such a mess of an album. .__.
