  • Whatfor is the name of the band created by the second season of the popular French reality-TV show Popstars aired on RTL Group TV channel M6 in fall 2002. The group consisted of Cyril and Erika (from Marseille), Nicolas (from Toulon) and Monia (from the Lyon suburbs). Their first hit "Plus haut" (Higher) reached rank #1 in the French charts and so did their first and only album called Popstars. Their musical style was a mix of modern dance music, pop, and R&B, with a clear late 1970s disco/funk touch that is mainly because the mastermind behind this album, Philippe Saisse, was the one behind the most successful albums of some great artists of that era like Chic and Chaka Khan. But the success story ended as their second single called "L'amour n'a pas de loi!" ("Love knows no law!"), a cover of Swedish singer Carola's song "A Kiss Goodbye" (from her album My Show) was a flop. The group disbanded in 2003. Erika and Cyril founded a band together (Everton), and Nicolas tried a solo career, but none of their attempts were successful. However, Nicolas went back to being a comedian which garnered him some fame. (en)
  • Whatfor是2002年秋在RTL Group旗下的M6频道播出的真人秀节目“Popstars”法国第二季比赛中组建的一支乐队。它由Cyril(来自马赛)、Erika(来自马赛)、Nicolas(来自土伦)和Monia(来自里昂市郊)组成。 他们的第一张单曲《Plus haut》和第一张也是唯一的一张专辑《What for》都曾在法国音乐排行榜上排到了第一的位置。他们的音乐风格由现代舞曲音乐、流行以及R&B混合而成,同时明显带有70年代末的disco和乡土爵士乐的印记。这主要是因为这张专辑的策划人—Philippe Saisse—曾为那个时代的许多歌手如Chic和Chaka Khan制作过非常成功的专辑。 但是好景不长,他们的第二张单曲《L’amour n’a pas de loi》(翻唱自瑞典歌手Carola的专辑《My Show》中的《A kiss goodbye》)的彻底失败终结了他们的成功。 乐队在创建6个月后解散。据说是因为乐队成员Monia的不佳表现,但并没有明确的证据,因此只被当作小报的八卦。Erika和Cyril共同组建了一支乐队,Nicolas尝试单飞,但是他们的事业都没有再获得成功。而Monia的下落则未知。 (zh)
