Scene 23 was a pop group formed by the winners of the American show Popstars 2, which aired on The WB Television Network in the fall of 2001. Unlike the modestly successful earlier run of Popstars which created Eden's Crush, Popstars 2 was one of the least popular shows on TV, and suffered in the Nielsen ratings from airing on Thursday nights against megahits Survivor on CBS and Friends on NBC.
The original lineup of Scene 23 consisted of three males and three females; Josh Henderson, Donavan Green, Moises"Bad Seed" Juarez, Monika Christian, Laurie Gidosh and Dorothy Szamborska. During the run of the show, producers David Stanley and Scott Stone kicked out Moi Juarez for violating his confidentiality agreement and having guests over to the sequestered mansion, leaving the group with 5 members.
Scene 23 only recorded seven tracks for the album “Popstars 2: Introducing Scene 23,” which failed to sell well. The album was heavily padded with songs from other artists, and included several tracks of people talking about the Popstars audition process set to music. Unlike Eden's Crush, which scored both a top-ten single and a successful album, Scene 23 debuted at #172 on the Billboard album charts and peaked at #146. While the track “I Really Don’t Think So” was chosen as the first single with video, it was never released commercially as a single and received almost no airplay on radio or MTV.
As their label London-Sire folded shortly after Popstars 2 aired, Scene 23 attempted an unsuccessful move to Atlantic Records, and the band disbanded in early 2002, just months after the end of the series.
