I am so pleased that James won Making Your Mind Up. He might not have been my favourite on Fame Academy (although he does live with him and appear on his album), but the fact that he was on that show and isn’t Barry makes him a deserving winner. Any victory for FA-ers is great at the moment. Lemar won a Brit and now James is off to Eurovision!
The best song of the night was Hyrise’s Leading Me On which grew on me on each listen. However, I did notice their freakish similarity to early Blue. Maxwell is Duncan, Ant is Ant, Ben is Lee and the black boy who looked more like Hayden than Hayden is Simon. Very interesting.
l-r: Antony, Simon, Duncan, Lee.
