Ken7: Zapalduen_Olerkia - the first winner of eBelgian Song Contest!

Congratulations! This was a very interesting mix!

You will all burn

But next time will be mine, I tell you!

well, 2nd place

congratulations spain, it was a well deserved winner song!

I fully approve of this winner! Unexpected outsider, really, when I heard all song first, but - personally - I couldn't do anything else than giving it my full 12 points. Congrats from "Armenia"!

Sweden just isn't my kind of song, but a well-fought second place and thus a well deserved runner-up. Halfway, I thought victory was near secure, but in the last few votes, both Sweden and Armenia were surprised by Spain.

Glad I could surprise... no, shock... most with Armenia. Yup, the members of SOAD are indeed Armenian ... Song performed more or less as I expected: not the top, but ending pretty high.

Ukraine is another surprise for me. Never heard of the song, but I found it really catchy.

Macedonia and Romania also ended better than I expected. Canada ended far lower than I estimated. I thought that whatever music you'd like, the song was mainstream enough to collect some (small) points from everybody's taste, but I was proven wrong there.

Anyway, exciting game! Thank you, el1temkd, for organizing!

Looking forward to next month's edition!

Okay, nobody knows "how I met your mother"?

Otherwise it would be a song I would never have chosen. Wait for my next one, that's music

Wow, 4th place, as on ESC 2011 in Dusseldorf =)

TY Boklevski for your kindness! For me, this was also very deserved victory for Spain! Ukraine was surprise to me too (I gave 12 points to that song), and that will be probably the song that will still remain in my mp3 player. I like it a lot!

And for the upcoming edition, I encourage you to send not that very well known songs and artists (such as Boombox and Ken7), and on native languages. Subscribing can start right now, hope new players will try their luck. I won't bother you now, all info I need for your next entry is:

Country you want to play with:
Artist and Song
Youtube link

That's it!

3 countries are already taken:

Belgium

Turkey

and

Macedonia

are you allowed to take something from a singer that has already participated?

can you take another country?

wow! it was so exciting! thank you el1te for the hard work. And everybody for taking part

Sammy Tanghe wrote:are you allowed to take something from a singer that has already participated?

I'll appreciate if you choose another artist, but... it is your decision to make!

NLSP wrote:can you take another country?

Yes, you can take another country, if it's free!

Three more countries are occupied for the next edition of eBelgian Song Contest:

4. - Russia

5. - United States of America

6. - Canada

I'll just wait a bit and see what country stays open. After all, I need to sent in a surprise act again...

When is the deadline for sending in a song?

The deadline is on 1st of February! If there are more than 11 participants before that date, the contest can start earlier!

Two new countries joined:

7. Finland

and, believe or not...

8. Cook Islands

Among these 8 countries we have 2 new players, and that's why I expect an edition with more songs than the previous one! JOIN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

How the freak did someone find an artist/band from the Cook Islands?! How am I supposed to top THAT?

* /me starts searching for an even more obscure country *

Vatican???

well people with vatican nationality are
The Pope;
58 cardinals;
293 members of the clergy who serve as diplomatic envoys abroad;
62 lesser-ranking clergy members who work in the Vatican;
101 officers, NCOs, and men of the Papal Swiss Guard; and
43 lay persons.

good luck in finding an song written and performed by one (or a group) of them ....

Gregorian chants?

I would suppose they might perform masses, also.

but that isn't written by someone with that nationality ...
also covers are not allowed, so I think vatican city isn't a real possibility

(I have to admit, before I thought of the great country Yemen, I spend some time searching if I could find some songs from vatican city)

Next time, I won't be surprised at all, after this!!!

Oh, and I forgot! We have the 9th participant: new country again

9. Ireland

9. Ireland

if it is jedward someone will die

Well, can't find anything from the Pitcairn Islands except the "national" anthem... so guess I'll just have to admit that I won't be able to beat the Cook Islands in terms of obscurity...

Bokkie, try perhaps to find something of Transnistrië

Sammy Tanghe wrote:Bokkie, try perhaps to find something of Transnistrië

That sounds like it's only a country made up in Soviet propaganda...

it is a country nobody recognises but russia and some other small countries, but it does exist and it is de facto independent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria
you could also try looking for Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia or South Ossetia

you can also try Republic of Abkhazia or the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic...

EDIT: I have at least one that is NOT from that region

2 more countries announced their participation:

10. Spain

11. Andorra

You can join too! The winner takes 1000 BEF (donation from el1temkd)

el1temkd wrote:Andorra

oh dog wat done

No new songs? Nobody dares to take it up against the Cook Islands?

Can't we just start this edition already?

Sorry, I was on vacation, that's why this edition is not started yet. 2 new countries joined in a meanwhile:

12. India

and

13. Italy

This is the last reminder for all who want to take part! The edition will start tomorrow, 20:00 CET!
