'American Idol': Guess which contestant was once signed to Jive Records?

[Brian Damage]

Keith Semple: Sadly, a Fox spokesperson confirms that Semple did not attend Hollywood Week due to Visa issues. But if you watched TV in England circa 2002, you might have already seen the sensitive rocker who performed Bryan Adams’ “Heaven” in front of Shania Twain & Co. Indeed, the guy spent a few months on the tube while starring on — and winning — the U.K.’s Popstars: The Rivals. (Think: American Idol meets Making the Band.) Boy band One True Voice was created out of the show, and, after signing with Jive Records, the act debuted its first single, “Sacred Trust/After You’re Gone,” (embedded below) which became a hit overseas. One year later, the band broke up, and Semple journeyed to the states to head Chicago band 7th Heaven. To hear some of Semple’s solo music, go to his website.
