Jenny said: "By reinventing ourselves as music's biggest stars of the 70s, 80s and 90s, we want to inspire the public to join us in voting for their favourite iconic track from that era. Transforming into Cher has made me feel liberated and free-spirited, she's such a strong and empowering woman. Every single song of hers is a classic and her 'don't care' attitude has always been an inspiration to me."

Sinitta worked with her idol Grace Jones in the 80s. She said: "Grace Jones' music means everything to me because she was the edgy, cool heartbeat of the 80's. She was just completely brave, original and wild. I hope people see this imagery and remember Grace's music and vote for her."
