Eurovision - Your Country Needs You: Mark Evans reaches final

on January 26, 2009 10:50 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

So, the farmer's son from North Wales has made into the final of the BBC talent show Eurovision - Your Country Needs You.

Mark Evans made it through this weekend's semi-final and will go head-to head with Jade Ewen and twins Francine and Nicola Gleadall in next Saturday's live final.

Members of the farming community are familiar with the Evans from Llanrhaeadr, where Mark's dad, Myfyr, runs the Rhaeadr flock of Suffolks.

But Mark is the one everyone's talking about today, after he sung Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body and the Rod Stewart anthem I Don't Wanna Talk About It.

During the show, Myfyr commented to presenter Graham Norton that his son looked more at home on stage than among the sheep.

The winning act of the final three will perform at the Eurovision final in Moscow on May 16 (Andrew Lloyd Webber is writing this year's entry with Diane Warren).

Let's hope whoever gets through does better than last year's entry, X Factor star Andy Abraham. He came last. Perhaps he'd look more at home among sheep than on stage.
