LoveShy is a UK pop duo, made up of Aimee Kearsley and Emma Beard. In 2002, they competed as soloists in TV show Popstars - The Rivals, making the last ten female singers, but failing to make the top five, who became Girls Aloud. The other five, minus Javine, then formed girlgroup CLEA (an acronym of their initials). CLEA scored three UK top 40 hits between 2003 and 2005, later becoming a trio. In February 2008, they re-emerged as a duo, renamed LoveShy, to take part in the BBC’s ‘Eurovision - Your Decision’ on 1 March 2008 with their poppy electro song, ‘Mr. Gorgeous’, with which they hope to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest final in Serbia on 24 May 2008. However, they lost and were not chosen for the wildcard selection either. In July of 2008 and after many years of hard work together, Aimee and Emma decided to end the group and go their separate ways. |
