Hello and welcome to edition 9 of the International Song Contest. A special edition. Not only because every edition of this song contest is special, but also because this is a themed edition. The theme is "languages". All songs in this contest are in (one of) the official language(s) that is spoken in the country. So today I - together with some friends who helped me selected the songs - am sharing 22 new songs from all over the world in 20 different languages.
This edition will therefore be different from all previous editions, but I hope you still enjoy listening to these songs. As always there is a voting section below where I kindly ask you to vote for your favorites in Eurovision-style. Any vote is extremely appreciated. :)
Voting rules:
- Voting goes via the traditional Eurovision-system, see below. You may also vote in a personal message to me, if you have me as a friend on Facebook. :)
- You can vote for your own country and/or your own entry, as long as you promise to vote honestly. You can also ask one of your friends to vote, as long as this friend votes based on his/her own taste and not on your advice. :)
- You can vote until 9 October 6:00pm CET.
- Voting tip: personally I find it easy to rate the songs I like 1-5* while listening to the recap video and rank them afterwards based on this rating.
After the voting has ended I will publish the results on my blog and make a fancy animation of the voting process, to give the viewer the feeling that he or she is watching the results of the real Eurovision song contest. If you include your e-mailaddress, I will send you an e-mail when the final result is published.
Recap video:
This year for the first time I made a YouTube playlist of all the songs, to make it easier for you to listen to the full version of your favorites! You can find it via this link.
If you are old-fashioned and still want to have the links to the songs one by one, you can still find them below:
