'Fame'
Search For A Star 2005. The First Semi Finals!
ON THURSDAY 24 February 2005 at 7:30pm, out side
Casablanca's in Southport, the night was cold and snow was trying to fall, but inside, the temperature
was hot as the first act of the night took to the stage. Contestants
this time were being not only judged by a regular Pleasureland 'Fame' judge, but also by record
label LBM's very own owner Tony Britain. After getting through a very hard set of heats,
singing just one song, the contestants then had to show them selves to the judges in the very best
light. Not only were they voted on or off by their vocal
performance, but also at the act it self. Also each contestant had
to do two songs!
The tension was extremely
high, in fact near electric. Voting could easily go either way and the contestants put on a
marvelous show. Sadly on a few got through to the Finals, but as the
standard was so high the judges had to let two extra contestants through, as they could not
decide who to loose. So close were all the marks that night!
