Young-star shines in national rap show

A talented Bedford youngster wowed crowds and celebrity judge, Chico as he was named runner up in a nationwide rap talent show final.

Josh Drew entered Paula's Farmyard Beats which began in April 2008 to celebrate the launch of Paula, a new dairy dessert from Dr.Oetker.

Kids aged 4-12-years-old from all over the UK joined in the fun by making up a short rap about Paula, the cool rapping cow with sunglasses and her crazy friends.



Josh fought off stiff competition from all over the country to become one of just 14 gifted youngsters selected to perform in the rap-off at LEGOLAND® Windsor on July 19.



Josh impressed the crowds and celebrity judge Chico with his rap and although he narrowly missed the chance of being crowned overall winner, was awarded a runners up prize of a karaoke machine and a goodie bag packed with Paula goodies.



Josh said: "I am really proud of myself for making it through to the Paula's Farmyard Beats final.

"It was so much fun performing my own Paula rap and can't believe that I got to meet Chico. I'll certainly be practicing my skills with my new karaoke machine."



Matthew Wilson from Dr. Oetker said: "Josh did incredibly well to make it through to the final. He really impressed the judges with his imaginative lyrics and confident performance.

"Using rhyme and song is a fantastic way for children to learn and today's final has provided a great opportunity for children to showcase their talents to friends, families and even celebrities."



For those who didn't make it through to the final, Paula's World will be present at LEGOLAND® Windsor every weekend until 25th August, where families can enjoy samples of the dessert and have fun taking part in Paula's games and competitions.
