Advantages: Good voice, great catchy songs Disadvantages: none
...Billie Piper has been around for 2 years now. She has recently gone for a more mature sound with her latest single "Day + Night", which went straight in at number 1. Her previous singles were all very catchy, and her first 2, "Because We Want To" and "Girlfriend" went straight in at number 1. Billie was and still is the youngest person ever to have a number 1, as she was just 15 when she had her first. She has also made 1 album and her seconsd is coming out this year. Some other hits by Billie are "She Wants You" and "Honey To The Bee"....

Billie the kid Review ofBillieHoliday Story, The - BillieHolidayby

Advantages: matured and nice songs Disadvantages: none
...Billie the kid? Well this kid has produce songs like do you have a girlfriend, what the hell is that about? It was like a very baby-ish song. She recently turned 18 and definitely matured and her songs reflect that. She has got a good singing voice but I think the songs that she sings are not that good but they are ok to listen to. It is rumored that she is going to get a role in a film, another pop star going in to acting but will she be successful?...

...Billie Piper. Formerly Billie - clean cut, girl-next-door, annoying and from Swindon. But now she's rediscovered her surname, learnt from the Book of Britney and finds she just can't get clothes to cover her midriff. After bursting into our lives 2 years ago as a chirpy 15 year old, she became the face of pre-pubescent must-read Smash Hits, had a few #1s, released an album and then disappeared from the public eye.
Then something happnened. Britney Spears. After capturing the hearts of the fickle pop pickers. Britney was promptly joined by Christina, Jessica and Mandy and Billie was forgotten about, famous only for being the girlfriend of the Julian Clary look-alike from 5ive. And so to succeed in the overcrowded pop princess market, Billie's return had to be spectacular and so Britney's style, image and "sound" were mimiced.
