Congratulations to forum member Keely (lilsaprano) who has been shortlisted for the Next BRIT thing competition. www.nextbritthing.com/ Still looks like quite a long list to me but it means she has got through to the regional finals. I think Keely has more to say about it but she was having trouble starting a thread so I have started it for her. Here is the direct link to Keely's initial entries www.nextbritthing.com/profile/saprano

Thank you John Keely will be pleased as she was having difficulty opening a new topic. The list is still long but it was much much longer and there are only around 8/9 from each region, so she still has a good chance of making it to the final. There is a classical section and the winner gets to perform in the Royal Albert Hall wow !!!!! Thats something to look forward too. Anyway she is looking for some song suggestion, she has picked up a few, but would be great for any suggestions from the forum.
Dvorak----SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME O Mio Babinno Caro Vilia The Merry Widow
She also said that your favourite was her singing The Fields Of Athenry, which is one of mine too. We will also have a look at some of Hayley's beautiful songs. Maybe a classica/folk song or even both would be nice.
Thank you (Keelys Mum)

Hi John decided to sing O Mio Babinno Caro , Time To Say Goodbye and maybe Think of Me. If I qualify for the Final I will receive a share of the £10,000 pounds price money and sing at The Royal Albert Hall in London and on Classical FM. So if anyone wants to wish me luck that will be great.

I know you can sing those well, Keely - let's hope the judges think so too . It will certainly be a big moment for you if you get through. Do you know when your regional final will be? P.S. I have sung at the Royal Albert Hall ;D, but not as a soloist on the stage
