Instant Star - Season 1 Reviews:
Fantastic buy 
2008-07-30 - This came shipped incredibly well, had great quality all around, and is a fantastic show. This season starts off slower, and only gets better. You'd be missing out if you didnt get it! =]

Instant Star: Being Famous Rocks 
2008-01-19 - This is the best show in the world. If you've never seen it, I would reccomend buying it. Its about a girl Jude Harrison who wins a talent contest, like American Idol, called Instant Star. She was the first ever Instant Star and its about her life, recording her cd, life, love. How hard it is when you fall in love with your producer and then he starts dating your sister. There is so much drama in this show. This is my favourite show in the world. The songs all have great meanings and Alexz Johnson is an amazing singer.

Great DVD Release 
2007-07-29 -
Instant Star has been a popular teen favorite the past few seasons. Fans of the show will be pleased with the DVD release of the first season. The season one DVD includes the first 13 episodes of the show. The downside is that season one aired so long ago these episodes seem like light years ago. It would have been good if they would have released the first and second season together on DVD.
The first season chronicles Jude's semi rise to stardom. After winning the Instant Star competition she receives a record contract with G Major Records. Her producer is "Little Tommy Q," who used to be in a boy band named Boyz Attack. Tommy is all grown up now and he is her producer who she has a crush on it seems. Adding to the story is her close relationship with her male childhood best friend Jamie. At this time in the series, Jude is still in high school and living with her parents who are still married. Her sister Sadie is a little older than her but they attend the same school.
The first season is primarily about her recording songs for G Major and dealing with various unexpected trappings of sudden fame. First she has conflict with a fellow recording artist named Eden. Then she finds love with a rapper named Shay. Things really heat up when her and her producer Tommy share an unexpected kiss on Jude's 16th birthday. It's all not a smooth ride as she also has to deal with her parents crumbling marriage.
Instant Star is a television series packed with drama. It's a series that teens and adults will find intriguing and it was created by the same people who created the series Degrassi The Next Generation. Bonus features includes deleted scenes, bloopers, cast auditions, music performances and more.
