Noughties Pop Star looks unrecognizable while performing on the street 18 years after rising fame with a huge hit single

Noughties Pop Star Just Jack looked almost unrecognizable when he went the streets of London for a performance last week.

The singer, 49, rose to fame in 2007 thanks to his hugely successful song Starz in their eyes, that number two reached in the UK Singles Chart.

And Just Jack, real name Jack Christopher Allsopp, enthusiastically left both fans and passers -by while he got out of the song next to an acoustic guitarist outside a McDonalds in King’s Cross.

Jack dressed in a black bomber jacket and jeans, Jack looked at ease while he performed the song next to DJ AG on the decks.

DJ AG, whose real name is Ashley Gordon, regularly shows the talents of artists old and new with London Street versions, with Jessie J recently joined him for a show.

Only Jack’s performance was shared with DJ AGs Tap And fans soon went on the reactions, stunned by his rare appearance.

They wrote, “Where did he go, thought he would be huge.”

“I have always wondered what happened to him.”

“Omg Just Jack, can’t believe I missed him.”

“Just Jack still kills it. Smiley Loop is a banger. ‘

“Oh, how nostalgic, absolutely of him and this song!”

However, some were a bit critical about his vocals and wrote: “Jeze unless I’m deaf, it’s time to hang the microphone.”

‘Sounds in the beginning, but in the beginning, but fair play. I’m not sure why JJ didn’t really grow up. Had some interesting tunes. Is used to love writers’ block. ‘

Just Jack released his first album, The Outer Marker, in 2002, but it was only in five years later that he found Roem with his song Starz in their eyes.

He became popular with the track thanks to TV appearances on Last … with Jools Holland and the Friday Night Project, with the track at number two.

The song was the principal single from his album Overtones, which produced the Singles Writer’s Block, Glory Day and No Time.

However, Jack was unable to imitate Starz’s card success in their eyes, with his nearest shot as his number of 2009 on the day I died, that peaked at number 11.

His career saw him on stage at Glastonbury Festival, V Festival and T4 on the beach, a stark contrast with the much smaller audience that he attracted to King’s Cross last week.

Despite the fact that he nowadays had a much quieter career, he rather revealed that he is satisfied with how things go.

Speaking with Ladbible in 2023, he shared: ‘I never tried to make a big radio hit. I never really wanted to be like a pop star. It was a strange time, it was a stressful time.

‘I finally came to many environments where I was not particularly comfortable. I was grateful for the radio games and things like that, but I never felt at home with pop people. That is never how I saw myself.

‘I have always been a bit of a control freak. I think you are in that world where you have managers and record labels and all these people around you that you draw in many different directions and things that do not always go as planned, there are so many things that you don’t really control. ‘

Jack noted that he now has full control over his entire career and despite being hard work, he could ‘not be happier’.

He added that it was a ‘great feeling’ and a ‘real privilege’ to be in that position.
