Информация о артисте
Гэрэт Гейтс - один из финалистов самого престижного конкурса для молодых исполнителей Великобритании ''Pop Idol''. Хотя он не стал призером конкурса (получил только 2-е место), на него обратили особое внимание.
Британские СМИ отзываются о нём не иначе как: ''Gareth родился звездой. У него ангельский голос, он естественно выглядит перед камерой, а его модельная внешность - мечта любого фотографа. Его чистые карие глаза, обезоруживающая улыбка: с их помощью он стал настоящей иконой для людей всех возрастов''.
Сразу после конкурса он выпустил три сингла друг за другом, которые достигли первого места в чартах Великобритании: ''Unchained Melody'', ''Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)'' и ''The Long And Winding Road'', записанная с Will Young (победителем того же конкурса - его альбом также скоро выходит на BMG).
В марте 2002 г. он стал самым молодым исполнителем, чей сингл попал на первое место в чартах Великобритании. Композиция ''Unchained Melody'' продержалась на первом месте три недели, только за одну неделю было продано 850. 000 синглов! Кроме того, за эту композицию он получил награду ''Запись Года''.
Теперь все эти композиции можно найти на дебютном альбоме ''What My Heart Wants to Say''. Помимо кавер-версии ''Unchained Melody'' пластинка включает замечательный римэйк песни Элвиса Пресли ''Suspicious Minds''. В альбоме много красивых лирических песен, за которые Гэрэт Гейтс вполне заслуживает титул ''Принц Романтики''. Несомненно, для наших слушателей этот альбом станет одной из любимых музыкальных новинок этого года! Read more on Last.fm.

Gareth Paul Gates (born July 12, 1984, Bradford, United Kingdom) is a British pop singer who shot to fame in 2002 when he came second in the television talent show Pop Idol. A year earlier, he also appeared in the televised talent show Steps to the Stars presented by Claire Richards and Ian Watkins (known as H) from the pop group Steps.
Despite not winning the competition, he was soon signed up with Simon Cowell's record label BMG, alongside the Pop Idol winner, Will Young. (Cowell had been one of the Pop Idol judges, and had been notorious for his harsh criticisms of many of the contestants.) His first single, a cover of Unchained Melody, entered the UK Top 40 at number one, knocking Will Young's first single - the double A-sided "Evergreen"/"Anything is Possible" - off the top of the chart (as Young's single was intended for the winner of Pop Idol Gates also recorded versions of both songs, which were used as B-sides for Unchained Melody). These were possibly the fastest covers, having been released only three weeks after Will Young's record breaking versions. The single was voted 2002's Record of the Year by ITV viewers.
With The Kumars, Gates sang the 2003 Comic Relief charity single, "Spirit In The Sky", another cover of an old song. This was also a new entry at number one, and stayed there for two weeks. He also appeared in the charity's Celebrity Driving School.
Gareth also suffers from a stammer, but with the help of the McGuire program he has almost overcome it. He now works with the McGuire program passing on the things he has learnt to others suffering from stammers.
In 2002, Smash Hits magazine dedicated the 7th of November as International Gareth Day for his fans. On this day, fans around the world light candles and pay homage to the singer.
Gareth infamously lost his virginity in a London hotel to glamour model Jordan who was pregnant at the time. Despite initially denying the incident, he later admitted the affair.
The first single from Gates' third album was "Changes" which was released on 9 April 2007. The single peaked at Number 14. A second single, "Angel on My Shoulder", was released on 18 June 2007, peaking at Number 22. Both singles remained in the UK Top 40 for only one week. Gates' third album, Pictures of the Other Side, was released on 25 June 2007. It proved to be Gates' lowest selling album to date and spent only two weeks on the UK album chart, entering at Number 23 before falling to Number 66 the following week, then dropping out of the chart altogether.
