Vektor 3,326 Posted August 16, 2020 #1611 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Fun fact: I almost broke the rules with South Africa. My first choice was Malaika from Miriam Makeba, but then I realized that the rules don't allow it as the song doesn't originate from South Africa, so I went with her most well known song instead. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who voted for South Africa, I am pleasantly surprised about how far it went considering how old the song is. My favorite songs were amen09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Korea grew on my quite a bit, funnily enough. In the next 30 years you'll probably be one of those grandmas doing the hand dance during the chorus dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted August 16, 2020 #1613 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Also, I can admit now that I was a part of that Rihanna 0:7 fiasco. And, no, my aim was not to manufacture a surprise, but to choose a better song. Wanderer 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer 1,626 Posted August 16, 2020 #1614 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Anyway, my second option was Alsarah and the Nubatones (I think they would be more appealing) and the third one Ros Sereysothea - but that one would probably get even worse results than Zambia Did not included in my official list, but I considered Yma Sumac and Tigran Hamasyan - aybe @Werloc would like that choice of mine.

Wanderer 1,626 Posted August 16, 2020 #1617 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I still wonder how South Korea went from 1-7 one day to 7-1 the other to beat Zambia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted August 16, 2020 #1618 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Finally, about my pick... Funnily enough, I first heard The Free Electric Band right here when @Dragon of all people entered it for Festival of Music once. I stumbled onto it several more times and thought it would be a nice pick - first I had to discretely make sure that non-IOC members would be allowed to enter. I also considered It Never Rains in Southern California and Down by the River... Dragon 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
