Note that in the new design I could not use the flags to indicate where a voter is from, so I wrote the nationality between brackets. A tip: if you are too lazy to watch the entire voting process, just press q and you will get to see the complete results immediately.

I hope you all have enjoyed the contest and I hope to see you all next year!

ISC #10

Hello and welcome to edition 10 of the International Song Contest. A jubilee edition! I started this tradition in 2011 by asking 11 friends to select a song from their country and have people vote for their favorites.The contest was quickly expanded 22 songs per edition when I started enjoying it to find great music by myself. And now I can't believe that this is already the 10th edition! A big thanks goes out to all of my friends and family who have made this possible by selecting songs and/or voting for their favorites. It's you guys who kept me going all this time!

I honestly believe that this 10th edition of ISC has the highest average quality of music so far. Because I worked hard for it. Really, you won't believe how many songs I have judged before coming to the list with the 22 songs below. The preliminary list of participants contained music from countries like Tuvalu, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago and Bahrain, but in the end they were deemed not good enough to share with you. Now there are only two countries making their debut in this edition: Kazakhstan and Myanmar. This makes a total of 67 countries that has participated in ISC.

Let's hope you will 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, via e-mail or via 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 18 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.
