The BBC has announced the six acts hoping to take part in music's biggest annual extravaganza as they compete to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in Your Country Needs You! on Friday 12 March 2010 at 8.30pm on BBC One.
Performing live in the studio, the Eurovision hopefuls will be out to impress Pete Waterman – producing this year's entry with long-time collaborator Mike Stock – plus a specially-selected panel consisting of Pete, with last year's UK entrant Jade Ewen and performance-judge supremo Bruno Tonioli.
They will hear four solo singers, one all-girl trio and a five-piece group – all vying for the opportunity to sing for the UK in Oslo this May.
Pete Waterman says: "So far we've got the song and we've got six acts – now all we're waiting for is the public to get behind the search for the UK entry and then we can really get to work. But we're in it together and myself and Mike Stock are proud to be involved."

Celebrating queer history is a key function of the Festival and James Kent’s outstanding new BBC Two drama reveals the hidden passions of 19th century landowner, industrialist, traveller and pioneering lesbian, Anne Lister, whose coded journals form the basis of this true story written for the screen by Jane English. The film stars Maxine Peake (Criminal Justice) in the title role, with a superb supporting cast including Anna Madeley (Affinity), Susan Lynch (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) and former Coronation Street favourite, Tina O'Brien.
