0:00:35 > 0:00:37Olly Murs.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Repeat after me... #
0:00:40 > 0:00:43He's one of the most popular solo artists in the UK.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49He's had a ton of smash hits and he knows how to wiggle those hips.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54But how will he do against the worldwide megastar that is...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57# Baby, you're a firework... #
0:00:57 > 0:00:59..Katy Perry?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01# ..Come on Let your colours burst... #
0:01:01 > 0:01:05She's got it all - the voice, the look...
0:01:05 > 0:01:06and the music.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13It's going to be an outstanding Pop Slam, so whose team are you on?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Team Murs or Team Perry?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I'm going to be delving into the lives of these megastars
0:01:21 > 0:01:25to see who has what it takes to win the ultimate prize in pop -
0:01:25 > 0:01:27the Ambo!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29There's only one way to win the Ambo
0:01:29 > 0:01:34and that's by gaining as many of my Ambo points as possible.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I'll be dishing them out over three slamming rounds of pop-ocity
0:01:38 > 0:01:42where I meet the people who knew our stars back in the day.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Then I check out how hard they've been working.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50And finally, I scrutinise their style.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52All before the big moment.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And the winner of the Ambo is...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You might not agree with the outcome and if not,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02go on to the CBBC website and have your say.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But, seriously, if you had to pick between these two,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06who would you choose?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I don't know either, it's a tough one,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15and there's only one way to find out - it's time for Pop Slam!
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Bring it in.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Round 1 - pop potential.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27This is all about how our stars made it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31# Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad...? #
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Olly Murs may be the UK's favourite pop-tastic celebrity
0:02:34 > 0:02:36troublemaker nowadays
0:02:36 > 0:02:40but before all that, Olly was just a regular football-loving kid
0:02:40 > 0:02:42right here in Witham in Essex.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46# You make me feel like I'm living
0:02:46 > 0:02:48# A teenage dream... #
0:02:48 > 0:02:52And right now Katy Perry is living the ultimate teenage dream
0:02:52 > 0:02:55as one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58But back when Katy Perry was known as Katheryn Hudson,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02she was right here in Santa Barbara, California.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, how did Olly Murs and Katy Perry become the pop-alicious
0:03:06 > 0:03:08megastars they are today?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm going to find out. First up, Mr Murs.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15# Cos I don't know
0:03:15 > 0:03:18# If I can stop now... #
0:03:19 > 0:03:21When Olly Murs was a young whippersnapper,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25he didn't dream of becoming a big pop star. No, no, no.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28He more or less accidentally became the superstar we know
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and love today.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33This is the story of how a normal Essex boy became
0:03:33 > 0:03:36one of the biggest pop stars in the UK.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39# That anybody else would
0:03:39 > 0:03:41# Die for... #
0:03:42 > 0:03:45When you think of Olly Murs, you think singing, dancing,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48really cool hats, obviously, but when he was a teenager,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51he was obsessed with something totally different - football.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55And he played right here - Witham Town FC. Oh, yeah!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Olly loved playing football.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03When he was younger, he dreamt of playing professionally,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and that dream came true, sort of, when he played here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13This is the actual pitch Olly played on
0:04:13 > 0:04:16when he played for Witham Town FC in 2007
0:04:16 > 0:04:19and I'm going to be speaking to the chairman of the club
0:04:19 > 0:04:22to get all the juicy gossip from when Olly played.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yo, Tony, at your head!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27CAMERAMAN LAUGHS
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I'll get it!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32# Just put your hand on my heart
0:04:32 > 0:04:35# Put your hand on my heart... #
0:04:35 > 0:04:37OK, Tony, I want to know absolutely everything.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What was Olly like when he was playing here?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42He was a good footballer, he done well.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I mean, Olly's been a very popular lad around the club
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and around the town for years, so we're very proud of Olly.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Did you ever catch him on the field having a sneaky little sing?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58No way, he was never allowed, he had to concentrate on his football.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03# When life treats you hard you don't think you can take it... #
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Olly's obviously unavailable these days
0:05:05 > 0:05:08so I understand there's a bit of a vacancy in the team.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- What would I have to do to fill Olly's spot?- To run fast.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Is that all?- Yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14SHE SCOFFS
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Watch and learn.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18# Put your hand on my heart
0:05:18 > 0:05:20# And I don't have to say it
0:05:20 > 0:05:23# And I don't have to think it... #
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Did I get the job?- Sorry, no.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26SHE SIGHS
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So, unlike me, Olly could play football.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's nothing to do with music
0:05:31 > 0:05:34but I reckon it still deserves a sporting Ambo point anyway.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Back of the net!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38# Put your hand on my heart. #
0:05:38 > 0:05:39# Olly Murs, true lad
0:05:39 > 0:05:41# Rizzle Kicks
0:05:41 > 0:05:42# Yeah... #
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, Olly was living out his dreams on the pitch
0:05:45 > 0:05:50but it was off the pitch that he found his new love - me.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Jokes, jokes, jokes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It was his singing. He was taking off.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Locally, he became known as a karaoke legend
0:05:57 > 0:06:01and he was the lead singer in his own band, the Small Town Blaggers,
0:06:01 > 0:06:06where they performed right here in the Witham Town FC clubhouse.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10OK, I know it's not quite Wembley but it's a start.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12# Play it on repeat... #
0:06:12 > 0:06:16The guitarist of Olly's first band was a guy called Jon Goodey
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and check this out.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I managed to get him to come
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and meet me at the clubhouse to give me the lowdown.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Now, Jon, you're obviously the guitarist in Olly's band.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Can I say for starters, so jealous?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But run me through it, what was it like being in a band with Olly?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It was entertaining.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37He was always so full of energy, really.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Everyone loved watching him so it was just great fun to do gig after
0:06:41 > 0:06:45gig with him, knowing that people were enjoying themselves.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48What was his stage performance like when he was with you?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Run us through a gig.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Um, he used to get nervous a lot
0:06:51 > 0:06:54but not that it would stop him from gigging.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55He'd get there, he'd be a bit nervous,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and as soon as the first few songs were out the way, and people
0:06:58 > 0:07:01were enjoying it, he was dancing, he was singing, he would move around.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03He'd walk away from me and he'd be dancing with someone
0:07:03 > 0:07:07that was dancing in front of him or he'd be singing to someone.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11This new character sort of came to life when he really got into it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15# I know I should but I can't leave it alone
0:07:15 > 0:07:16# So when you hold me like this
0:07:16 > 0:07:19# That's when my heart Skips, skips a beat... #
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Jon, thank you so much.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's absolutely been amazing talking to you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Put it here. Nice one, Olly.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31For some early singing experience, have three fantastic Ambo points.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32# Oh-oh
0:07:32 > 0:07:33# Oh-oh
0:07:33 > 0:07:34# Oh-oh
0:07:34 > 0:07:38# My heart skips, skips a beat. #
0:07:38 > 0:07:42So, with his mad skills on the pitch and on the stage,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Olly soon became a local celebrity and his friends were like,
0:07:45 > 0:07:50"Yo, Olly, you should audition for the X Factor," and in 2009,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52that's exactly what he did.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55# Very superstitious... #
0:07:55 > 0:07:57CHEERING
0:07:57 > 0:08:00# The writing's on the wall... #
0:08:00 > 0:08:01The audition was going well
0:08:01 > 0:08:05but it really took off when he busted out these moves...
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Hey, come on!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09CHEERING
0:08:09 > 0:08:14..which won over Mr Grumpy himself, Simon Cowell.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Olly, I've got to tell you, I really, really like you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- Cheers, Simon.- And you know what? You're very, very, very cool.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Thanks, Simon. I can't believe it. Thanks.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27He is a tough man to impress.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Have an Ambo point
0:08:28 > 0:08:30for getting on the X Factor.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33But Olly didn't win the X Factor. No!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36He came second, losing to Joe McElderry.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38You remember him.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40# The struggles I'm facing
0:08:40 > 0:08:44# The chances I'm taking... #
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Ooh, yeah, maybe not.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50But not winning the X Factor didn't stop our Olly boy.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52# Normally, I try to run... #
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Clearly a fan, Simon Cowell signed him up
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and Olly started working on his first album.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00# Till I looked into your eyes
0:09:00 > 0:09:03# So, am I in this alone...? #
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Even though Joe McElderry won on the year that Olly lost
0:09:07 > 0:09:10the X Factor, Olly has emerged to be far more successful than him.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I think that's down to his music choices and, ultimately,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15the public really, really like him.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16# Please don't let me go
0:09:16 > 0:09:19# No, please don't let me go
0:09:19 > 0:09:22# Baby, no, no, no... #
0:09:22 > 0:09:24So, he might not have won the X Factor
0:09:24 > 0:09:27but the Olly show had to go on.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In August 2010, he released his first single
0:09:30 > 0:09:31and it went straight to number one.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34# But beating double time, yeah... #
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Clawing it back after not winning the X Factor deserves two try-hard
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Ambo points and, more importantly, Olly Murs was here to stay.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45# Baby, don't put out this spark No... #
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Right, let's shoot 6,000 miles over to sunny California
0:09:51 > 0:09:54and see how Katy Perry's journey to stardom compares.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57# I got the eye of the tiger
0:09:57 > 0:09:58# A fighter
0:09:58 > 0:10:01# Dancing through the fire... #
0:10:01 > 0:10:04From the east coast of England to the west coast in the USA,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07this is the very street in Santa Barbara, California,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10that Katheryn Hudson grew up on.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Back in the day, she was already singing but not in big arenas,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16just at her local church.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18This is the story of how a regular choir girl
0:10:18 > 0:10:22went on to become the global megastar that is Katy Perry.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Katheryn had a very religious upbringing, as both her
0:10:26 > 0:10:29parents were preachers and she attended church groups
0:10:29 > 0:10:31where she used to listen to a lot of gospel music.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34# Now, I'm floatin' like a butterfly... #
0:10:34 > 0:10:37When Katheryn was 13, her church group bought her a guitar
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and soon she was writing her own music
0:10:39 > 0:10:43and performing in churches, like this one, around Santa Barbara.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44# But I got up
0:10:44 > 0:10:47# Already brushing off the dust... #
0:10:47 > 0:10:52I reckon performing at such a young age deserves two Ambo points.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55# You held me down but I got up... #
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Katheryn was realising that this singing malarkey was something
0:10:58 > 0:11:01she wanted to make a bit of a career out of.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02She was gigging more and more
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and soon was getting a name for herself on the gospel music scene.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10# Cos I am a champion
0:11:10 > 0:11:15# And you're gonna hear me roar... #
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Katheryn's church performances finally paid off and, at just 16,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21she went all the way to...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27..Nashville to record her first ever album for a Christian music label
0:11:27 > 0:11:29called Red Hill Records,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and I'm here to meet someone who was there in those early days.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38OK, guys, listen up, this is all a bit exciting.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Behind this door is one of the first ever people to work with
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Katy in a studio. His name is Brian and he doesn't know I'm here.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46OK, he totally knows I'm here but he doesn't know I'm about to
0:11:46 > 0:11:48present him with an Amberley achievement award.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51OK, I'm not going to do that, I'm just trying to build the excitement.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Let's get in there.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53# This is the part of me
0:11:53 > 0:11:57# That you're never gonna ever take away from me... #
0:11:57 > 0:11:59What was she like when you first met her?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02She was 15 maybe going on 16 when we met,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06and I'll never forget the first time she came in and she was this
0:12:06 > 0:12:13motivational, inspiring teenager with a guitar and just a desire to sing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17# This is the part of me... #
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So, paint a picture for us.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21This is a 15-, 16-year-old Katy Perry.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24What was she like in and around the studio?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, at any given moment, you could stick
0:12:27 > 0:12:31your head out the door, and she'd be doing cartwheels down the hall.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33She was just like a ball of energy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38But, at the same time, she was very focused, very driven,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42she knew what she wanted to say and she knew who her audience was.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45# I'm wide awake... #
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So, what was Katy Perry's voice like?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What was your impression when you first heard her sing?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51# I'm wide awake... #
0:12:51 > 0:12:52The first time I heard her sing,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I thought, "This girl's going to be a star."
0:12:54 > 0:12:58She had a confidence about her presentation even then.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Like I said, she knew what she wanted to do.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Too many people try to become somebody else
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and they forget who they are.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11And Katy, even though she had musical influences, she was Katy.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13# Ain't always what it seems
0:13:13 > 0:13:14# I'm wide awake... #
0:13:14 > 0:13:16With the help of Brian, Katy was taking her first
0:13:16 > 0:13:19steps as a professional singer-songwriter
0:13:19 > 0:13:24and had recorded her first album - The Katy Hudson Album.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You remember it right? It did massively well.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Well, actually, it didn't do too good, it only sold a few
0:13:29 > 0:13:33hundred copies, so Katy needed a rethink and a new direction.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36So she moved to LA to become a rock star.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39She was a big fan of singer Alanis Morissette, you know...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42# It's like rain... #
0:13:42 > 0:13:45# On your wedding day... #
0:13:45 > 0:13:46So, she got in contact with her producer,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50they started writing together and the rest is history.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Except it didn't quite work out that way but that's OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It wasn't long before she got another record deal with
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Avril Lavigne's producer. You know...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02# She was a skater boy She said, see you later, boy... #
0:14:02 > 0:14:05# He wasn't good enough for her... #
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And the rest is history.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Except it isn't. That didn't quite work out either,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13but stick with me cos it wasn't long before she signed another
0:14:13 > 0:14:18record deal with another producer and - boom! - the rest is history.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21No, it actually is, I'm being serious this time. Hot and cold?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Definitely hot.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24# Cos you're hot then you're cold
0:14:24 > 0:14:26# You're yes then you're no
0:14:26 > 0:14:28# You're in then you're out
0:14:28 > 0:14:30# You're up then you're down
0:14:30 > 0:14:31# You're wrong when it's right
0:14:31 > 0:14:33# It's black and it's white... #
0:14:33 > 0:14:36After a rollercoaster ride of trying different styles and sounds,
0:14:36 > 0:14:42Katy Hudson had become Katy Perry and the pop queen had been born.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45You can have five Ambo points for not giving up on your dream.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47# You're hot then you're cold
0:14:47 > 0:14:48# You're yes then you're no
0:14:48 > 0:14:50# You're in then you're out
0:14:50 > 0:14:52# You're up then you're down... #
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Hot N Cold was the second single to be released from her album,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57One Of The Boys.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It was so good, it earned her a Grammy Award nomination
0:15:00 > 0:15:02for Best Female Pop Vocal.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Have another Ambo point.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Let's look at the scores.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Ooh, it's a close one
0:15:12 > 0:15:13but Katy has the edge
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and is in the lead
0:15:15 > 0:15:17by one Ambo point.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21If you're an Olly fan and don't agree with me
0:15:21 > 0:15:26then get on the CBBC website and argue your case.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Now that we know how our stars made it,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31let's check out how hard they've been working since then.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34It's time for Round 2.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Round 2 - Pop Success.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45This is all about what our stars have been up to to make sure
0:15:45 > 0:15:47they stay at the top of the charts.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49First up, Olly Murs.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Ever since X Factor, Olly's been working non stop.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57If he's not making music, he's touring or even presenting on TV.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Rack off, Olly, that's my job.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Mixing singing, presenting and just being an uber-cool pop star,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09have two Ambo points for putting in the hours.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12# Till I looked into your eyes... #
0:16:12 > 0:16:17And, of course, Olly's had some pretty hot chart success.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21His first ever single got to number one but hold the phone, guys,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23that's not all.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Let's have a look at who Olly beat to the top spot back in 2010.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30# You make me
0:16:30 > 0:16:32# Feel like I'm living a... #
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Only Katy Perry! Say what?!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38# I can't sleep... #
0:16:38 > 0:16:40That's right.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44In a battle for the UK's number one, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream
0:16:44 > 0:16:48was beaten to the top spot by Olly's Please Don't Let Me Go.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50# Normally, I'd try to run... #
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I think it was really significant that Olly Murs beat Katy Perry
0:16:54 > 0:16:57to get his first number one single,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59that must have been an amazing boost for him.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01# So, am I in this alone...? #
0:17:01 > 0:17:06In this head-to-head Pop Slam, that is one epic fail, KP.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I'm going to award Olly three Ambo points for that one.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12# Baby, please don't let me go... #
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But Olly isn't the only one who's been topping the charts.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17# I knew you were
0:17:17 > 0:17:19# You were gonna come to me
0:17:19 > 0:17:20# Here you are
0:17:20 > 0:17:22# But you better choose carefully... #
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Katy Perry has sold a lot of music. Seriously, a lot of music.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Not only that, she is THE most followed person on Twitter,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34as in, there is no-one else in the whole entire world with more
0:17:34 > 0:17:35followers than Katy Perry.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And if you don't think that's enough,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41she's had over 2.5 billion views on YouTube.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Whoa, that's some serious mega-stats right there. Nice one.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Two points coming at you, Katy Perry,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49for working hard at keeping in touch for your fans.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53# Boy, you should know what you're falling for... #
0:17:53 > 0:17:57In fact, Katy Perry is such big news that she received an actual
0:17:57 > 0:18:01tweet from the US President Barack Obama.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Tweet-twoo.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Now, that is some heavy-duty social networking.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Have a presidential Ambo point.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12# Cos once you're mine Once you're mine
0:18:12 > 0:18:14# There's no goin' back... #
0:18:15 > 0:18:18# Oh, baby... #
0:18:18 > 0:18:20So far, we've found out that Olly can sing,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22play football and top the charts
0:18:22 > 0:18:25but there's one thing we can't overlook when it comes to the
0:18:25 > 0:18:30Murs meister - he sure knows how to work the dance moves.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36# I just want you to dance with me tonight... #
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Olly has a great passion for dancing
0:18:38 > 0:18:40which comes across in his music videos
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and when he's performing which definitely is
0:18:42 > 0:18:45one of the reasons why people love him.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Whoa, those dance moves look pretty impossible.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Olly's set the benchmark pretty high but I've been practising.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55This next one goes out to you, Olly. Eat your heart out.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Who am I?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59I'm Olly Murs.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04It could be said that Olly's moves are better than mine.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Have two dance-tastic Ambo points for working the dance floor.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10# I knew right then
0:19:10 > 0:19:12# That you'd be mine
0:19:12 > 0:19:15# And we'd be dancing the whole damn night... #
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Yep, Olly can wiggle those hips like a trooper
0:19:17 > 0:19:21but he's not the only one who likes to take centre stage.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25# I just want you to dance with me tonight. #
0:19:27 > 0:19:29# Last Friday night
0:19:29 > 0:19:31# Yeah, we danced on tabletops
0:19:31 > 0:19:33# Always say we're gonna stop
0:19:33 > 0:19:34# Whoa
0:19:34 > 0:19:36# This Friday night... #
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Katy loves performing and is super creative
0:19:39 > 0:19:43but sometimes being unique has a downside and that's exactly
0:19:43 > 0:19:46what happened in a photoshoot when a chimpanzee peed on her.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Say what?!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Now, I wasn't there, I wish I was,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53but I imagine this is how it went down.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54"Hi, everyone, I'm Katy Perry.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56"This is my photoshoot studio,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59"we're just doing a little photoshoot, no biggie, come in.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01"OK, roll those cameras. OK, boom.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04"Work the angles, work the levels, you know? Get high, get low."
0:20:04 > 0:20:05SHE GASPS
0:20:05 > 0:20:10"Everybody stop. I have just had the most amazing idea ever.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14"I am thinking right here, right now, we get a chimpanzee up in here.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15"Who's with me?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18"No, guys, I'm being serious, we're getting a chimpanzee.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20"Katy Perry wants a chimpanzee.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22"Somebody get me a chimpanzee right now!"
0:20:22 > 0:20:26AMBERLEY IMITATES A CHIMPANZEE
0:20:26 > 0:20:30"Oh, you're so cute, come here! OK, let's do different levels.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- "You go up..." - AMBERLEY HISSES
0:20:32 > 0:20:37"Ugh! Guys, I think it just peed on me. That is so much fun, right?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41"Will somebody get this chimpanzee away from me?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43"At least tell me I've got my waterproof mascara on."
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Look, I'm not 100% sure that that's how that went down
0:20:47 > 0:20:50but suffering for your art - nice work, Katy, kudos.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53# Last Friday night... #
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It's pretty gross but I reckon anyone who can work through
0:20:57 > 0:21:01a photoshoot with pee on them deserves an Ambo point.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So, Olly and KP have been working pretty hard
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and have been very successful.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08But how has all of this affected their record sales?
0:21:11 > 0:21:17Well, Olly Murs has sold around 7.5 million records in the UK.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Pretty good. Have two Ambo points. But...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23# Another life... #
0:21:23 > 0:21:25..Katy Perry has raised the bar
0:21:25 > 0:21:30and sold a colossal 11 million records in the UK.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Wowzers.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You can't argue with the stats.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37That's three Ambo points to Katy Perry. That's Round 2 done.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Let's have a look at the scores.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43They are both mega successful
0:21:43 > 0:21:48but Olly did beat Katy to the top spot in 2010 and that has
0:21:48 > 0:21:50just shunted him into the lead.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Sorry, Katy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Oh, if you guys don't agree with me, you know what to do.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Hit up the CBBC website and have your say.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01We've seen our stars' pop potential
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and how hard they've worked at it
0:22:03 > 0:22:06but now that they've reached the dizzy heights of superstardom,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09let's see how glamorously outrageous they've become.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Round 3, whatcha got?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Round 3 - Pop Style.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22This is all about our celebrities' lives - clothes, cars,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25pets or whatever else they splash their cash on.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31# So this is what it feels like... #
0:22:31 > 0:22:33First up, O to the M.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Olly Murs always dresses super smart, so he's always in a really
0:22:38 > 0:22:44nice skinny, tailored suit trouser, a nice, smart shirt, waistcoats, ties.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Really nice classic, British, staple clothing.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51# So this is what it feels like... #
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Olly always looks great, he does seem to be someone that
0:22:54 > 0:22:57irons his trousers and, for me, I'm in awe of that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02# Only you and I can hear... #
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Not only that, it has to be said that no-one else can
0:23:06 > 0:23:09pull off a hat like our Olly boy.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12He's made the hat really iconic for him
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and his look, so he wears little porkpie hats, trilbies.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's really important for someone like Olly, as a pop star,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21to have something that people can latch on to
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and it just helps to assist in his cheeky-chappy persona as well.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29# Being at the right place The right time... #
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Excellent selection of headwear, Olls.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34One Ambo point for keeping your bonce covered.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So, Olly's got hats.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Cool, but when it comes to style, let's be honest, Katy hands down
0:23:42 > 0:23:46takes it out, so I'm here in LA to find out more about her look.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49# I know a place... #
0:23:49 > 0:23:51And what a look it is.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Katy Perry rocks some outfits that are absolutely off the hook.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57So, to give me the lowdown,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I'm going to chat to designer to the stars, Ashton Hirota.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02# We freak
0:24:02 > 0:24:04# In my jeep... #
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Now, Ashton, you're a top LA designer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Let's talk Katy Perry's style.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Where should we start?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Should we start from the beginning or from the Candy Land experience
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- we all see today?- Ah, let's start at the beginning.- OK.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Beginning - everyone's boring at the beginning and everyone is very timid.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20However, as the years have progressed,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Johnny Wujek has had his hands on her
0:24:22 > 0:24:26and made this amazing transformation for her videos, her concerts,
0:24:26 > 0:24:31her everything, and you'll see her notorious cupcake tops, to her
0:24:31 > 0:24:36stages that are built elaborately with lollipops and the most crazy...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Crazy things.- Crazy things.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40# Bikinis on top... #
0:24:40 > 0:24:41So, where do you reckon she comes up
0:24:41 > 0:24:44with a lot of her ideas and concepts?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I think that, like most artists, your mind's never really stopping,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50you're always thinking, "What about this? A, B, C, D?"
0:24:50 > 0:24:52There's so many options, it's just a matter of fine-tuning
0:24:52 > 0:24:56it down so, for her, personally, I don't know what's inside her head.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58But I know that she is an artist and musician
0:24:58 > 0:25:01so it could be coming from anywhere.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06I think we can safely say that when it comes to this Pop Slam,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Katy Perry deffo has a more distinct style. Soz, Olls.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13That's four fashionable Ambo points to Katy.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16# Dear darlin'
0:25:16 > 0:25:20# Please excuse my writing... #
0:25:20 > 0:25:24They know how to style themselves but what about their homes?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Fame and fortune hasn't changed Olly Murs, or has it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Let me drop this fact on you.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Apparently in his house,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34there's a room covered in wallpaper with his face on it.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36At first, I was like, "That's a bit weird,"
0:25:36 > 0:25:38but then I got on board!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Let's do the whole house!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Only joking! Even by my standards, that is a bit weird.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I'm going to take off one Ambo point for some dodgy decor.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52While we're talking weirdness, Katy can go one better.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Apparently, she carries around a lock of Taylor Swift
0:25:56 > 0:26:01and Miley Cyrus's hair. Katy, Katy, Katy, whoa!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Everyone knows you don't carry around hair.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Unless it's Harry Styles' hair.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08SHE CHUCKLES
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Harry.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Jokes, jokes, jokes! Again, it's a bit weird, Katy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I'm going to take off an Ambo point for some creepy style.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22# Yeah We maxed our credit cards... #
0:26:22 > 0:26:25And on that slightly odd note, we're at the end of Round 3.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27# Last Friday night... #
0:26:31 > 0:26:34We've reached the end and it has been one heck of a Pop Slam
0:26:34 > 0:26:39but who has won the Ambo? Will it be Katy Perry or Olly Murs?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40SHE GASPS
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Let's find out what we've learned.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48We've been in the company of pop royalty with this Pop Slam.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Olly Murs and Katy Perry have both been topping the charts,
0:26:51 > 0:26:56are natural-born performers and have their styles totally nailed.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58This Pop Slam could go either way.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment we've all been waiting for.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09The points have been counted and independently verified by me.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12And the winner of the Ambo is...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21No way! It's Katy Perry! Oh, Olly, get out of here.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Katy, how are you feeling? You know what?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Don't even worry about it, let's just see you in action.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30# Unconditional
0:27:30 > 0:27:34# Unconditionally
0:27:34 > 0:27:36# I will love you... #
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Hi, it's Amberley from CBBC.
