Judges make tough call on Urban Quest finalists

For two years running the judges of Mission Australia's Urban Quest have been faced with the near impossible task of choosing the Top End finalists for the youth talent competition.
Once again breaking the rules, they have selected nine finalists instead of the required eight.
Performances at the Casuarina Square semi finals last night displayed a wealth of talent, creativity and inspiration. Songs performed included classic numbers from the stage and theatre, country ballads, soul, pop and original rap tunes.
The Urban Quest Top End finalists will be joined by Alice Springs finalists at the Darwin Entertainment Centre this Sunday night as the young performers strive for the 2012 Urban Quest title and $1000 prize money from Bendigo Bank.
