The Next Star - Where Are They Now?

 Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog, I decided to talk about one of my favourite topics. The Next Star. Not just that, but where they are now. But instead of me going there everyone not The Next Star, I am just gonna talk about the contestant who are not singing anymore. Before I do get started, I want to say, I think I am going to do blogs in the summer when I have time off work. Now that I said that, I also want to say that I have 5 on this list. It would be insensitive of me having JD from The Next Star 4 on this list, cause he died a few years ago. On a happier note. Here are the 5 who are on the list. In season order. That is just me lol.  

Maranda Thomas - Maranda was on The Next Star in 2008 during season 1. Since she was on Te Next Star, I saw somewhere that she got married and was on 16 episodes of Lost & Found Music Studio as Mary on Family Channel in 16 episodes out of all 26 episodes.

Isabelle Stern - Isabelle was on The Next Star in 2010 on season 3. After she was on the show she recorded some covers and then was on the spin-off show, The Next Star: SuperGroup. after the spin-off show she got her Real Estate license in Montreal, and now also in Florida. And what I see on Instagram she is rocking at being in Real Estate. 

Victoria Duffield - Like Isabelle Stern, Victoria was also on The Next Star season 3 in 2010.  After the show she kept releasing music since 2011 till 2019. Victoria was in fact the inspiration for this blo. After her last CD, titled, Day Won, I was wondering what happened to her. This year, 2025, I got my answer. She ended up leaving music behind and got involved in Real Estate for RE/MAX.

Shania Scichilone - Shania was on the season 4 of The Next Star in 2011. After her time on the show, she continued recording singles, and like, Isabelle Stern, she was also on the spin-off show, The Next Star: SuperGroup. After all that, she got married and became an Author. Her book series is a Fantasy series called, A Fate Of series. Her debut, Fate Of Smoke & Ash came out on Halloween 2022, and her second one, Fate Of God & Fire came out on October 13m 2023. I even met her at a book convention in Toronto last year, on August 2024.

Brooklyn Roebuck - Brooklyn was on The Next Star 5 in 2012 and unlike anyone on this list, she won The Next Star. After the show she ended up recording her 2 winning singles in 2012 and a year later in 2013. She also recorded an EP and a few single after that. She got married, became a Hairdresser, and had a baby boy in January 2025.
