Charlotte evicted from Eurovision
Charlotte Finlay-Tribe has become the second contestant to be eliminated from the BBC’s Eurovision contest Your Country Needs You.
The 17-year-old ended up in the bottom two after a public vote, but Andrew Lloyd Webber chose to save male harmony group The Emperors Of Soul instead.
“If you come back in a year’s time I will see you again and I think you’ll have a very serious career,” he said.
“I’m a bit upset but it’s been an amazing experience,” said Finlay-Tribe.
Four acts have now gone through to next week’s semi-final – including Jade Ewen from east London, pantomime actor Mark Evans from north Wales and identical twins
Francine and Nicola Gleadall from Sheffield.
One act will be eliminated on that show, with the UK’s Eurovision entrant to be selected in a live programme on 31 January.
Their song will be written by Lord Lloyd-Webber, who is hoping to revive the UK’s fortunes in the song contest after X Factor reject Andy Abrahams came in last place
in 2008.
The competition takes place in Moscow on 16 May. The Beauly Denny Landscape Group, which represents the John Muir Trust, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland, the
National Trust for Scotland and the Ramblers Association, has been arguing against the planned line.
Residents have also formed opposition groups, including Highlands Before Pylons and Pylon Pressure, raising concerns about threats to tourism, house prices and health.
SSE said the £320m development was needed for the reliable transmission of electricity from renewable sources from the north of Scotland, which would be enough to
power one million homes.
It has already ruled out an argument for putting the line underground on cost grounds.
