Belinda Evans
Belinda Evans, from Ash, near Martock was 28 and a relatively experienced candidate for How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.
However, it did not help much as Belinda Evans was knocked out in the second week of How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.
David Ian said that Belinda was the best singer but that she was a throw-back to the 1930s.
Belinda, who is a singer and voice coach, is a chorus member in Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of The Magic Flute and represented England, singing the National Anthem, at the Rugby World Cup.
Two of Belinda's sites have a lot of biographical information about her.
Belinda Evans's profile on the South Chiltern Choral Society site pointed out that Belinda "has a Postgraduate Vocal Diploma from the Welsh College of Music and Drama, with Distinction in Performance, following a BA(Hons) Music Degree from Bath Spa University College ..."
Her website has an amazing blog, which gives plenty of detail of her feelings about How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?
Since the BBC show, Belinda Evans has appeared in The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre.
