The show had the same production team as American Idol: it was created by Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment along with FremantleMedia, directed by Bruce Gowers, and produced by Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick.

Unlike American Idol, the goal of the competition was not to find a single winner, but rather to create a singing group of five of the contestants.

[1] Upon completion of the competition, the American Juniors group consisted of Taylor and Tori Thompson, Chauncey Matthews, Lucy Hale, and Danielle White.

The group made a brief appearance on the December 2003 TV special An American Idol Christmas.

From 2010 to 2013, she played Jo Taylor in the Nickelodeon TV series Big Time Rush.

[3] Jordan McCoy was signed to Diddy's label, Bad Boy Records, having only released demos.
