Danesh, whose death at age 41 was reported on Tuesday, fulfilled two authentically groundbreaking effects during the constructive times of UK TV gift contests. First, on Popstars in 2001, he brilliantly OTT- ed Britney Spears'" Baby One further Time," negotiating the holy grail of television gift shows making a song uniquely his own. He incontinently came the star of a program that hugely failed in its charge to produce stars, dressing nearly between a roll- neck Steve Jobs and a swashbuckling mate.

In order to finish third on Pop Idol and ultimately get a UK-No. 1 single with Color-eyeless, he reappeared latterly that time dressed like a matinee hero and singing like Elvis. Reality television is each about stories, and frequently times those stories can form around people and harden like cement. Darius was able to rewrite his story via an enticing combination of naivety, panache, and true talent.
His influence on the emerging TV talent show genre was so profound that all later spin-offs sought to emulate Darius Campbell Danesh. Someone who had the slightest hint of absurdity, was disarmingly attractive, and had just the right amount of self-awareness to pull it off. The issue, though, is that everything must be perfectly in proportion, and gigantic characters—who, oddly, make for truly great pop stars—frequently don't go on to succeed in tent-pole TV shows that are driven by commercial exploitation.

Darius admitted to the Guardian in 2002, shortly after losing to Gareth Gates and eventual Pop Idol Winner Will Young, "If I'd won I would have been the biggest nightmare." I would not have been the right fit. I would have imploded, or the Pop Idol logo would have if I had won. I must remain true to who I am.
Will Young stood out for challenging Simon Cowell in the middle of the program, but it was Darius who declined Cowell's post-Pop Idol offer of a record deal with BMG, which came with the requirement that they record a variety of cover songs.

Imagine, he remarked, "I could have done a cover of Robson and Jerome's rendition of the Righteous Brothers." "How awesome! That, you know, doesn't motivate me. Rather, he decided to sign with Mercury Records, and together with writers like Steve Lillywhite (The LA’s, Travis), The Matrix, and others, he co-wrote his 2002 first album, Dive in (Avril Lavigne, Ronan Keating). Without ever releasing a cover song, Darius scored five UK top 10 hits over the course of two big-label albums.
Darius, who was raised in Glasgow by a Scottish mother and an Iranian father, chose to act in avant-garde operas rather than attend stage school (though he would subsequently go back to opera after winning Popstar to Operastar in 2010). When he switched to pop and performed in a constrained TV talent show format, he frequently struggled to maintain control; even his post-rejection talks to his Popstars competitors sounded like a gloriously fervent sermon.

Surrounded by distraught expressions, he reflected, "It's just not our time, that's it." "We all has talent. How much affection is present in this space? Your guys' excitement is contagious, I can tell.
Nothing is lost in doing this. Darius enjoyed his role as the nation's most well-known tryer, making repeated appearances on the pages of Heat magazine, possibly aware that his 15 minutes of fame were running out.
The fact that he seemed to constantly know what game he was playing, though, is significant. He genuinely got the joke and always had a sardonic smile whenever he responded to inquiries about being a serious musician, as Heat magazine's editor in chief Lucie Cave said in homage on Instagram.
During Popstars, a promise Darius made to "Nasty" Nigel Lythgoe, one of the judges, brought about a significant development in the Darius tale.
When the event was over, the then-21-year-old coolly predicted that by the time he was 35, he would have a platinum album. He assured Lythgoe that that wouldn't be the last she heard from him.

Later on, this kind of confidence on the shows that came after would sound hollower than a Louis Walsh compliment. Darius, however, was determined to make it happen. It affected Lythgoe as well. He declared on the television that "Darius is a survivor in life." And Darius will take any necessary measures to ensure his survival. Furthermore, it wouldn't surprise me if Darius receives a platinum record in the upcoming five years.
By the end of 2002, Darius had momentarily challenged Ronan Keating and Robbie Williams' long-standing soft-pop hegemony with his UK No. 1 hit, the Radio 2 classic Color-blind, landed an album in the top 10, and achieved top 10 status for his solo effort. A journey from tryer to survivor to established success story unlike any we've seen in TV talent show history, he later went on to pen a Sunday Times bestseller (2004's memoir Sink or Swim), appear in numerous West End productions (including Chicago and Gone with the Wind), and become a Hollywood producer.
