Totally Scott-Lee, followed Lisa on her last ditch effort at a solo career.

In a rush Lisa was signed to a small record label, Concept Records, and began recording songs for her next single. Concept chose "Electric", written by
Guy Chambers and started making plans for its release. The single had to be released on 10 October in order to meet with deadlines for the MTV show.The female head of Concept Records has gone on record (on the show and in private) several times saying that she was against the record being released on this date. One of the main reasons for this was that it would have very little promotion time (5 weeks as opposed to the usual 8-10 weeks).

The song was released and, despite a television show backing her, it failed to reach the top ten. Electric charted at number 13 in the UK Top 40. [http://www.everyhit.com/ Everyhit.com] UK chart database. (Accessed: September 3, 2006)]
Highlights
Other "highlights" of the show include Lisa's brother Andy proposing to his then-girlfriend
Michelle Heaton in a restaurant, the constant arguments between Lisa and her family and an interesting insight into record company politics (Electric had initially only made number 26 during the mid-week predictions, but an error with the sales at Woolworths later pushed it to 15, finally to 13 on the following Sunday).References
