'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!

The contestants who took part in the fist Semi Finals where:-

Jenny O'Connor from Liverpool, aged 28. Getting a place in the semi from 13/01/05 heat.
Beckie Bell from Fromby now aged 20 (19 on the night), going through from 20/01/05 heat.
