I'm looking forward to S3 & praying that the complete and total destruction of Jude/Tommy comes about. Tommy is just comes across to me a creepy sleazy industry guy to me.

[Bannah]

FEBRUARY!? You mean I have to wait THAT long! Noooo.. :(

[xxecstasy]

FEBRUARY?
this will be the death of me, i swear.


too bad for you, xtremequeen, tommy and jude are destined to be together- a show definitely doesn't set up a love/hate relationship like tommy and jude have, and make it crumble.

[deadria101]

I think that the new instant star is coming in between tommy and jude but they will end up together.

[Crystalsmom519]

this will be the death of me, i swear.


too bad for you, xtremequeen, tommy and jude are destined to be together- a show definitely doesn't set up a love/hate relationship like tommy and jude have, and make it crumble.

SUPERSTAR JUDE HARRISON GOES PLATINUM!

THE N COMMENCES PRODUCTION ON SEASON THREE OF THE HIT TEEN SERIES INSTANT STAR IN TORONTO

13 New Episodes Slated To Premiere On The N In February 2007

NEW YORK, NY, July 17, 2006 – Move over Kelly Clarkson, Jude Harrison is ready to go platinum! The N’s hit teen drama Instant Star is underway on its third season of production, it was announced today by Sarah Tomassi Lindman, Vice President Production and Programming, The N. The N, the nighttime network for teens, has greenlit 13 new half-hour episodes of the original series which are currently being shot on location in Toronto, Canada through September, 06. The third season of Instant Star premieres on The N in February 2007.

This teen rockstar has proven that she’s far from being a ‘one hit wonder’ as the third season of Instant Star commences production. Jude Harrison’s (Alexz Johnson) career is back on top with her new single climbing the pop charts as her third album inches closer to platinum success. She has managed to out-sing and out-shine Instant Star’s phenom, Mason Fox, and she has compromised and sacrificed all she can to remain number one. But even the biggest popstar in North America can’t prepare herself for what’s to come next. Jude will face an uncompromising situation when her illicit night life behavior from season two’s cliffhanger catches up to her. For the first time in her career, Jude could possibly become front page fodder if she can’t pay the right price. Professionally, she will once again contend with yet another new addition to the Instant Star family-and this winner may not be as cordial as Mason.

"Instant Star has everything you want in a teen drama: surprising stories, juicy romance, original music and fierce competition," said Lindman. "No one knows the teen genre better than Linda Schuyler. As creator and Executive Producer of two of The N's biggest hits – Degrassi: The Next Generation and Instant Star – she delivers quality shows that our teen audience craves."

Instant Star depicts the life of 17-year-old Jude Harrison, a singer/songwriter who is propelled to superstardom after she wins a national American Idol-style talent competition. Jude is played by real life singer/songwriter/actress Alexz Johnson, who has written and recorded several of the original songs featured in the series. Each episode of Instant Star features a new song performed by Johnson. The Instant Star soundtrack, which features all the hit songs from season one, is now available nationwide.

Those helping Jude along the way on her rock n’ roll journey include: her hot young producer and former boy-band heartthrob Tom Quincy, aka Lil’ Tommy Q (Tim Rozon), boy-next-door best friend Jamie Andrews (Kristopher Turner), punk rocker friend (and Jamie’s girlfriend) Patsy Sewer (Zoie Palmore), Jude’s older jealous sister Sadie (Laura Vandervoort), her father Stuart (Simon Reynolds), as well as the head of G Major, media-mogul Darius Mills (Wes Williams).

Alexz Johnson hails from Vancouver and has a four-octave range and eight years of operatic training. The sixth of 10 children, Alexz began performing when she was just six-years-old and went on to appear at Vancouver’s New Year’s Eve festivities at Planet Hollywood at the age of 12. Her acting credits have since included the lead in Disney’s So Weird and a principal role on the hit series The Chris Isaak Show. Named an “It Girl” in 2005 by alloy.com, Alexz has made a name for herself in the United States by playing Jude Harrison on Instant Star, which Entertainment Weekly selected as one of the hottest shows of Summer 2005. She has written and recorded several of the original songs featured in the series’ soundtrack. She was recently seen in New Line Cinema’s hit feature thriller Final Destination 3.

Instant Star is produced in association with CTV by Toronto-based Epitome Pictures, producers of Degrassi: The Next Generation. The series was created by Linda Schuyler, co-creator of the original Degrassi series. Schuyler and Stephen Stohn serve as Executive Producers of Instant Star.

Epitome Pictures and its affiliate companies have been producing quality Canadian programming since 1976, including the multi-award winning, internationally recognized Degrassi franchise, The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High, which still air throughout the world. Epitome Pictures has also produced the series Liberty Street and Riverdale, as well as Instant Star and several MOWs. For more information, please visit www.epitomepictures.com.

this is the text of song "all i want is you"
» All I Want is You «

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You
All I want is...
You
All I want is...
You
All I want is...
You..

[deadria101]

here is what the exec said:

To answer some questions, we will be promoting Instant Star somewhat differently in Season 3--mostly it is to take advantage of all the web and digital opportunities possible. Since IS is so music-based, we feel it is a core strength to use the music to promote the show, so we'll be doing things like creating Instant Star webisodes and mobisodes which will showcase the music (some of them in fact will be mini-music videos). Also, we hope that we can launch a completely revised and updated Rock the Mic contest in the U.S., to encourage viewer interaction with the music. And in Canada we will be completely revamping the website (we're doing Degrassi first because it's on the air first, then we'll start working immediately on the IS site) to provide a whole new set of capabiliies related to streaming and downloading.

As for whether season 3 will achieve higher ratings than Season 2, I will say this: you can never know for sure, tv ratings can surprise you, but there is no question in my mind that the first five episodes of Instant Star Season 3 are by far the best we've ever produced (we've only completed the first five which is why I haven't commented on the next eps) so personally I'll be very surprised if there isn't a sharp increase in viewership, I really think the fans will love it, there's more drama and intrigue along with great music.

BTW we were in the studio this weekend shooting the first four Instant Star Minis, we're shooting them in High Definition and taking a lot of time with them--Alexz, Tim, Kris, Tyler, Cory Lee and other cast and crew were all in working very hard to make them great!

[extreme_cowgirl]

I can't believe this show is going to have 3 seasons. i think that is awesome

[oc_craze]

Is there an exact date yet? For The N or CTV?

[a&eluvr85]

I love the whole Tommy and Jude relationship and I hope they end up together. I also love the music on the show does anyone know where I can find it?

[azuline]

The latest promos have a February 16th start date for The N. I have no clue about CTV though.

I can't wait!!

[azuline]

If anyone was wondering, I merged the two season three threads so we can have all the info in one place.

Just remember no spoilers on this thread because some people don't want to know!

[willagurl]

Hey, guys. Yesterday I interviewed Linda Schuyler - creator and co-executive producer of Instant Star. There are some low-key spoilers for the new season, so if you're avoiding those at all costs, you should skip the interview!

But if you're not spoiler averse, check it out at PopGurls (http://www.popgurls.com).

IT'S SLOWLY GETTING HERE..

The N viewers can catch an exclusive sneak peek on-air and online beginning Friday, February 9 from the anticipated third season of Instant Star which premieres Friday, February 16.

[oc_craze]

I so hope people put the episodes up on youtube or something. It doesn't look like CTV is getting it anytime soon. This happens every year, they show Degrassi until American Idol comes on then just randomly stops. Its very frustrating.

The N has updated their Instant Star site. Lots of new stuff there! You can get to it by clicking the Instant Star banner ad at the bottom of the page. :)

“KARMA” COMES FULL CIRCLE AS THE N PREMIERES SEASON THREE OF INSTANT STAR ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16

The N’s Rock and Role Premiere Night (February 16-February 18) To Award One Lucky Fan An Exclusive Walk-On Role On The Teen Hit Series

Jude Harrison is a bona fide rock star – no “instant” required. The third season of the hit teen drama Instant Star returns to The N Friday, February 16 at 8:30 p.m. (ET) during The N’s Rock and Role Premiere Night, a two-hour block of new programming which includes an exclusive opportunity for one lucky fan to win a walk-on role on Instant Star. The N’s Rock and Role Premiere Night features a new half-hour episode of Degrassi at 8:00 p.m. (ET), the one-hour premiere of Instant Star at 8:30 p.m. (ET), followed by a new half-hour episode of Beyond the Break at 9:30 p.m. (ET).

Beginning Friday, February 16 through Sunday, February 18, The N kicks off Instant Star’s first on-air/online giveaway during The N’s Rock and Role Premiere Night. Each night for three consecutive nights, fans can watch The N to unscramble themed mystery clues and then go online to www.the-n.com to place their entry. Once viewers submit the correctly spelled word, they will automatically be entered into the contest for a chance to win the grand-prize – a walk-on role on the Toronto set of Instant Star, a $1,000 shopping spree and a new electric guitar. Runners up will each get an exclusive on-line sneak-peek of Instant Star’s third season.

“Instant Star portrays every teenage girl’s fantasy of becoming a glamorous rock star,” said Sarah Tomassi Lindman, SVP of Production and Programming. “Now one lucky fan can experience the real dream of winning a walk on role in an upcoming episode.”

The season three premiere of Instant Star, “Lose Yourself,” resumes where the cliffhanger of season two left off. Jude learns stardom comes at a price and her life is anything but private now that she is a superstar. Just as her music hits the top of the pop charts, illicit photos of her in a compromising situation surface and she must decide whether to continue being blackmailed or release the photos herself. Looks can be deceiving when Jude contends with Karma, Instant Star’s newest rock star. She will test Jude's good girl image to the limit, but will Jude retaliate and remain the favorite? Whatever the case, Jude has to keep her dignity and the heart she wears on her sleeve intact.

Also this season, Jude enters adulthood with a celebratory 18th birthday bash like no other. Her relationship with Tommy matures, but he could hurt everyone he loves when some of his secrets emerge. Tragedy hits G Major with a devastating accident involving Jude’s friend and fellow colleague that could be catastrophic for all.

Exclusive Instant Star content will also be available at the-n.com beginning Friday, February 16. Following each on-air episode, a corresponding “On The Set” – a behind the scenes look at the cast and crew during the night’s featured episode – will premiere online. Additionally, the-n.com will feature 11 Instant Star Minis, fun moments featuring the Instant Star characters outside the series, that will roll out online during the season.
