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.
Listen To My Heart
Gareth Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I look into your eyes
I see forever
I don't know why
But every time we touch I feel alive
There's nothing like it
People say that love can't be that strong
You might just believe it
[Chorus]
Listen to my heart beat for you
Telling you that I adore you
If you want to know how much I feel inside
Listen to my heart come closer
Let me wrap my arms around you
There's nothing I can do
I'm so in love with you
Just listen to my heart
All my love
You really need to know that you're mine
I'm spending the lifetime
My whole life
There's nothing gonna stop us
cause we are
A once in a lifetime
People say that love can't be that strong
You might just believe it
We can show you, we can prove them wrong
[Chorus]
I can't tell you what our future holds
But as long as we're in love
We're in life
[Chorus]

팝쏭들 연주들에있어서
본연의 맛과 멋이 반감되는
