Slightly controversial as Bob Dylan recorded the song before but didn't release it for quite some time.

Hmmm I wasn’t aware! From what I can gather Bob Dylan wrote the song, but Manfred Mann released their version first (in 1968), whereas Bob Dylan released the song in 1970. Does that make it a cover of an American singers song or simply a song written by an American? I’ll have to consult the powers that be @OlympicIRL @dezbee2008 to decide!

That's exactly what I mean (that Dylan didn't release it before Manfred Mann) :).

It's no problem to me, just thought that it should be noticed as it's a rather unusual case..

I already made my choice for next year's contest as well, I just realize :d 

 

Yet another different kind of song :yikes:

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

What is this contest all about? I am sorry, I did not really get the point.

In a few words:

 

1) you have to choose ANY song of a singer or group of your country (before 2013 in this case)

2) You have to listen the songs of the others countrys

3) You have to vote the best 12 of all by private message

 

You have to the 5 of October to choose  song, the next steps are in anothers dates

I would allow it, as there is more importance of the performers' nationality than that of the songwriter's. We'll see what we can do.
