"Scala" (now Escala) have also attracted attention from the press - the four members of the band are professional musicians who supported McFly in 2006. They are signed to an entertainment agency, and were invited to audition for Britain's Got Talent by Simon Cowell after they played the X Factor wrap party in late 2007. An ITV1 spokesman refused claims this was unfair, stating "Scala went through the same application and audition process as everyone else. Britain's Got Talent is open to any performer be it professional or amateur, with any talent." Two of the four members of Scala were part of a similar five-piece classical group called Wild, who were signed to EMI and released an album with the label in 2005.The quartet were then required to change their name from Scala to Escala. According to a report published in the Daily Mirror. "Scala [were] forced to change their name because it belongs to a little-known female voice choir in Belgium. The girls .. changed to Escala after EMI threatened to sue, despite having used it for two years."
