Eye Q
Eye Q was the name of a Danish girlband that won the first season of the reality show Popstars on the tv station TV 2 in 2001. The girlband consisted of four members who were Trine Randbo Jepsen, former winner of the Danish National Song Contest in 1999 with the song 'Denne Gang', Louise Lolle, Sofie Hviid and Julie Jungvig Næslund.
The major media coverage of the TV program probably contributed to the success of the first album they released. The debut single "I Want What She's Got" went to the top of the hit lists and was sold in excess of 30,000 copies which earned them triple platinum. Hereafter the girl band released two albums. The first album, entitled "Let It Spin" from 2001, was also a success and stayed on the Danish Top 20 list for six weeks, with a first place as top rank. It also made triple platinum been sold in more than 150,000 copies. After this initial success the interest of the press for the aspiring girl band slowly disappeared. The second album "Be Okay" from 2002, where they contributed to the songwriter themselves, did not get much attention, and was only featured on the Danish Top 20 list for one week where it ranked number 17 and it did not sell as many copies as the previous album.
In 2003 the youngest member of the girl band, Sofie Hviid, decided to leave the group. The three other girls choose to continue in the band but soon after the group dissolved itself. Only Trine Jepsen and Louise Lolle have remained on the music scene. Louise Lolle attends Danmarks Journalisthøjskole and sings in the Aarhusian group Tokio, and Trine Jepsen has appeared in musicals and in 2006 she once again participated in the Danish National Song Contest.
