What sets the new Instant Star winner, Karma, apart from Jude and Mason?
Jude has always been reluctant with the commercial side of the recording industry. She sees herself as a songwriter who sings her own songs, and she’s always getting caught between the commercial side – the label – and her desire to do her own thing. The new Instant Star bursts on the scene and she has no such principals, no morals. She’s like, ‘bring it ON. You want me to do that? I’ll totally do that!’ Jude is appalled at her behavior. And Season Two winner Mason was even more low-key about winning than Jude! Mason was a gosh-golly-gee-whiz kid who couldn’t believe he won the thing. He so looked up to Jude and loved her very much. Will we see much of him in Season Three? I think he’ll be around very little. [Nicholas Rose, who plays Mason] was very cute and very lovely. And just because he’s not around so much in Season Three, doesn’t mean we won’t hear from him more in the future. Will there be a soundtrack for Instant Star Season Three? Oh, yes. We’re working out the details now. O
