Best Odds: 5-1
Big Brovaz
'Big Bro Thang'
Total UK Hits: 7
*Dial 09011 110 843
or text SONG 3 to 82222
Big Brovaz are Nadia, Cherise, J-Rock and Randy, and had many hits during 2002-04.
'Big Bro Thang' is a mixture of R&B and Rap and sounds like a track that could chart in the UK. It's hard to say how it would do in Eurovision? The song is 2nd favourite to qualify.
Best odds: 7-2
Cyndi
'I'll Leave My Heart'
Total UK Hits: 0
*Dial 09011 110 844
or text SONG 4 to 82222
Cyndi Almouzni was born in Marseilles, France in 1984. Her parents met in France
after fleeing the Algerian war. 'I'll Leave My Heart' is a strong ballad, compared by some to 'You Raise Me Up'. The New Yorker described her talent "remarkably appealing, with the vocal power of Whitney Houston"
Best Odds: 10-1
Scooch
'Flying The Flag (For You)'
Total UK Hits: 3
*Dial 09011 110 845
or text SONG 5 to 82222
Scooch are Russ, Natalie, Caroline & David. Formed in 1999 to rival Steps.
The group had 3 hits in 2000 before vanishing into obscurity. Scooch reformed especially for MYMU. The song is catchy if somewhat chessy. Novelty songs can do well so this could score some points for the UK.
Best odds: 12-1
Hawkins & Brown
'They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To'
Total UK Hits: 6
*Dial 09011 110 846
or text SONG 6 to 82222
Justin Hawkins is best known as the former lead singer of The Darkness.
Together with Beverlei Brown there is an up tempo, almost jazzy feel to this song. Justin's falsetto voice is put to good use in the chorus. The bookies favourite.
Best odds: 7-4
