General Election 2015: Birmingham politicians are singing for their votes

Video: Not sure who to vote for in Birmingham Selly Oak? Just listen and decide

Ed Miliband's late-night meet-up with Russell Brand has been the cause of much speculation, with David Cameron calling it "a joke" while others have said it shows the Labour leader is trying to stay in touch with younger voters.

With #Milifandom having enjoyed its moment in the spotlight, politicians are becoming ever-obsessed with appealing to younger voters; parts of the electorate long disillusioned with politics but whose voting power could be vital.

With the polls still too close to call, politicians in Birmingham have decided to put all on the line and appeal to voters - not with their manifestos, beliefs or personality - but with their voices.

Filmed for Brum Votes, the candidates for the constituency of Birmingham Selly Oak lined up to win over former contestant on The Voice Sasha Simone. She said she was an undecided voter and called on the four candidates to win her over through the power of song.

Step forward sitting MP Steve McCabe (Labour), Clair Braund (Ukip), Margaret Okole (Green) and John Hemming (Lib Dem), with the latter showing off by playing the guitar as well.

The singing may help Simone to head to the polls on May 7, but will it not backfire and deter many from ever engaging in politics again?
