Our colleagues at oikotimes.com have published an unconfirmed list of ten songs and acts that are lined up for the United Kingdom final “Making Your Mind Up”“. As expected it includes the Swedish group Alcazar, as well as some other well known names.
The list of ten songs and acts is as follows:
Katie Price One More Day
Lucie Silvas Long Farewell
Alcazar Mr DJ
Rachel McFarlane I Believe
Lemar Sweet Dreams
Manhattan Blue Eyes Time Will Tear Us Apart
2 To Go Say You'll Stay
Fused Come My Way
Luke Galliana There's No Other Way
Keedie A Fallen Angel
Katie Price is the real name of the supermodel Jordan, who has been romantically linked with singer Peter Andre, himself a composer in last years' Cypriot final. Whether this is the same Katie Price of course is unknown at this stage.
Lucie Silvas is releasing her latest single Breathe In this month.
Alcazar of course are the Swedish group that came third in the 2003 Swedish final MelodiFestivalen with the song Not A Sinner Or A Saint and have went onto become very successful throughout Europe since then.
Lemar is another contestant from the BBC Fame Academy series, and has just released his latest single Is There Any Justice. If successful he would follow last years United Kingdom entrant James Fox, who was also a contestant on the show.
2 To Go were participants in the ITV show The X Factor, the male half of the duo is blind.
Luke Galliano has previously been an entrant in the United Kingdom selection. In 2001 he entered with the song To Die For, which failed to make the final four songs that year.
Keedie recently had a duet with Duncan from the group Blue, and had hit with I Believe My Heart.
It is interesting to note the apparent increase in the number of songs this year, in 2004 six songs competed in the final. However it has to be stressed that this is a provisional and unconfirmed list of participants, and esctoday.com will do its best to confirm or otherwise this list as soon as possible.
