VS were a British R&B/pop group that had three hit singles in the United Kingdom.[1] It was the brainchild of former Blue member Simon Webbe (who was also their manager), Melody from DJ Pied Piper, and established singer-songwriter Ali Tennant, who came together to form the production company Love for Music.
