HAYLEY TAMADDON - emmerdales Delilah Dingle

LEON LOPEZ - Brooksides Jerome Johnson
He says - " My Musical influences are Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Im really excited about being on the show, and cant wait to perform on stage. Im sure the other contestents are really talented, but im looking forward to the competition - and id be lying if i said i didnt want to win!.
Inside Soap Says - Leon has serious star quality - but is it enough to propel him to first place.
ELAINE LORDON - Eastenders Lynne Hobbs
She Says - I;ll be doing a lot of low songs as i have got a very deep voice - deeper than Rod Stewards!. I have an ecletic taste in Music, anything from Robbie Williams to The Jam. I think my friends and family will find this funny, and im sure they will do lots of clapping for me in the audience.
Inside Soap says - A bit of an outside chance.
ALAN FLETCHER - Neighbours DR Karl Kennedy
He Says - Im in a band called Waiting Room and we do our own material as well as covers. I find singing and acting go hand in hand - both are about interpreting a story. Im not scared of the judging panel, i have been an actor 30 years, with plenty of bad reviews along the way. Inside Soap Says - It will be a bit like your dad doing Karaoke but the mums will love him.
TUPELE DORGU - Corries Kelly Crabtree
She says - i love Beyonce Knowles style and my two favourite artists are Corinne Bailey Rae and Shirley Bassey. My family and friends are really excited about the show though i reckon my folks will also be nervous for me. Inside Soap says - She has a big personality but will Tupeles voice match up.
MARK FURZE - Home and Aways Ric Dalby
He Says - Music is a big part of my life, but i have had no vocal training. Im into classic heavy metal but really respect Jamie Cullum. Its probably the most terryfying thing i have ever done. Inside Soap Says - Mark is handsome and talented - the girls will sure be voting.

MATTHEW WOLFENDEN - Emmerdales david Metcalfe
He Says - My forst singing experience was a musical version of Romeo and Juliet. I saw Barbara Windsor sitting in the front row. It was terryfying. I think my voice lends itself well to rock. Inside Soap Says - If Matthew sings half as good as he looks we will be onto a winner.
JANE DANSON - Corries Leanne Battersby
She says - My music collection ranges from slushy Ballads by celine Dion right through to Snow Patrol
inside Soap Says - If she proves herself as feist as Leanne, Jane could go far.
ANTONY COTTON - Corries Sean Tully
