Uk Eurovision Finalists revealed

[ManicKangaroo]

The five finalists of this years United Kingdom final Making Your Mind Up have been unveiled. Andy Scott-Lee, Gina G, Javine, Katie Price and Tricolore. The finalists will be introduced later tonight on the BBC1 programme Top Of The Pops.




Andy Scott Lee
After appearing on Pop Idol, and being part 3SL Andy Scott Lee has establish himself as a star in his own right. Andy is Lisa's brother, one of the members of former pop group Steps.

Gina G
Gina G is of course best known to Eurovision fans as the United Kingdom representative in 1996 with Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit which came eighth in the contest, but was a number one hit in the United Kingdom, and a big chart hit throughout Europe.

Javine
Javine was almost one of Girls Aloud, but became a solo artist instead with hits like 'Real Things' and 'Surrender'.

Katie Price
Model Katie Price (Jordan) is engaged to 1990's pop act Peter Andre. Although the names of the composers and song titles haven't been revealed, it is widely expected that Peter will have written the entry for Katie Price, as he also composed an entry in the Cypriot final in 2004.

Tricolore
Stuart Pendred, Jem Sharples and Scott Ciscon collectively make up the unique concert act Tricolore.


The United Kingdom final Making Your Mind Up takes place on 5th March. It will be hosted by Terry Wogan and Natasha Kaplinsky.

In addition for the very first time ever in BBC history, which includes all shows, not just Eurovision related., the BBC is going to show Making Your Mind Up as a webcast. This will enable web users across the world to vote for their favourite and represent their views as actual points on the show. The BBC wants to know what the rest of the world, and in particular Europe, would vote for, and feels that this will be both fascinating and entertaining.

Whoever wins on 5th March will represent the United Kingdom in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on the 21st May in Kiev.

As long as Andy Scott Lee and Jordan don't get it I'm happy.

But how great would it be if Gina G represented us again! Javine would also be good, but would her style suit the Europeans, I think not.

[LittleChristmasTurkey]

It actually seems like we have some reasonably big names for once ;D. Without having heard the songs, I would think our best chance lies with Katie, because she is quite a big name over a fair amount of Europe. Of course, it all depends on the song...

[Razzle Dazzle]

hmm andy scott lee is nobody with a famous sibling, who the hell are Tricolore, Gina G had one song and that was 10 year ago in eurovison n scraped top 10 and Katie Price is a Model so for me it has to be Javine, she has musical tallent

[greendemon]

@ the fact that jordan's even running for it...

and gina g's australian!

[Paul]

It's the nationality of the songwriter rather than the singer that counts. But does that mean that Peter Andre is part Cypriot/part Aussie and part British, presuming he's written the Jordan song. Hmmm

UK haven't a hope in hell of winning anyway. Go Ireland!

Apparently an Il Divo style trio

[Razzle Dazzle]

ahh lol shud have G4 up there lol

[Dee]

I wondered if Andy Scott-Lee was related to Lisa Scott-Lee and then someone here said that.

I think it is a great idea to let the whole world decide. I think it is a way of not coming in at last on the Eurovision.

[Hullboy]

Shame Alcazar arent in the running- it's got to be Gina G from that list.

[Nosey]

Gina G or Javine please.

Please not Jordan. Even if she could sing she'd embarass us, but she can't, so it would be worse.

[Dee]

I wonder what the comments will be if Jordan wins.

We'll claim to not be British;)

When do we get to see these wonders?

These new glasses can't come quick enough for you Andy

[LittleChristmasTurkey]

Is no one else really really interested to see what jordan has to offer? I really quite like her, not as in fancy her, but as in think she's fab. I didn't like her autobiography much, but I still love her!

[tyreece]

it actually doesnt matter who the f*** sings for us.
we have too many political enemies for us to ever have a chance of winning again.

maybe if we got the new leader of Palastine to sing for us, then we'd stand a chance.

especially if our song was entitled 'f*** bush'

[Dee]

A song about the dislike for Bush would get a lot of votes that's for sure. Both in the UK and Europe I think.

[Paul]

Also, neighbouring countries will vote for each other, as we've seen with the Baltic countries in the last few years.
