The UK’s hopes at Eurovision are in the hands of the public and the time is approaching to vote for the act that will represent the United Kingdom at the 52nd annual Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland.

The BBC today revealed the six acts competing in Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up.

They are:

Big Brovaz: Chart-topping R&B hip hop group Big Brovaz, who have made a return to the UK music scene as a four piece, will perform Big Bro Thang.

Cyndi: New to the UK music scene songstress Cyndi sings I’ll Leave My Heart.

Brian Harvey:
Former member of hugely successful Nineties pop band East 17, Brian Harvey, will perform I Can.

Justin Hawkins and Beverlei Brown (Hawkins & Brown): Former front man and guitarist from The Darkness, Justin Hawkins, takes the stage with diva Beverlei Brown as duo Hawkins & Brown to perform They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To.

Liz McClarnon:
After huge musical success across UK and Europe, Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon sings (Don’t It Make You) Happy.

Scooch: And, reforming especially for Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up, all-singing all-dancing pop quartet Scooch – consisting of Caroline Barnes, David Ducasse, Natalie Powers and Russ Spencer – will perform Flying The Flag (For You).

With a huge number of hits between them it’s up to the public to choose who they think is the act to take the UK to the top in Helsinki.

The huge annual event that is Eurovision has a record number of 42 countries competing and, after Daz Sampson finished in 19th place last year with Teenage Life, the pressure is on once again.

Unexpectedly, monster rockers Lordi stormed to victory in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest scoring a huge 292 points with the song Hard Rock Hallelujah.

So, it’s anyone’s guess who will make it to the top this year.

In a UK exclusive, Lordi will be performing on Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up in March. It will be their only television performance before their appearance at Eurovision in Helsinki.

Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up goes out on BBC One in March 2007.
