ISC #4

Ladies and gentlemen,

The moment has arrived again. It's time for the fourth edition of the International Song Contest on this blog. This time I took a bit more time to collect only the very best songs for you. I found most of these songs via the online song contests I participate in, however this time I also had a little help from my friends. So a special thanks goes to Laura (Estonia), José (Mexico), Līna (Latvia) and Tiina (Finland) for helping me select a song from their country!

Unfortunately some reasonably good songs didn't make it through the strict selection procedure, such as the Swedish modern-day equivalent of the band Europe (you know, those guys from the Final Countdown), the Kazakh Amy Winehouse and the Uzbek Shakira. Below you can find the list of all 22 songs that did make it, the links to YouTube and a recap video with a fragment of each of the 22 songs.

If you want to help decide who will win this edition of the ISC, I kindly ask you to make a top 10 of your favourite songs and submit them via the form at the bottom of this post. You can vote until 24 January 9:30pm CET. You can vote for your own country (or even the song you helped pick for this contest), as long as you vote honestly. After the voting has ended I will publish the results on my blog and make a fancy animation of the voting process, to give you the feeling like you're watching the results of the real Eurovision song contest. Thank you in advance for voting!


Recap video:

 
I had some issues with uploading the video to YouTube which did't allow me to place the video on my blog due to a copyright claim. You should also be able to access the video without ads on my YouTube-channel by clicking here.
