World Song Contest

The fourth edition of the World Song Contest was launched on June 15th. For the first time, more than 30 countries took part and semi finals were created to limit the final to 24 countries. A selection that was finally easy to do as several countries didn't vote for the semi finals and were disqualified. Some countries participated for the first time: Austria, Mexico, Monaco, Moldova, Iran and the Philippines while Denmark, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary and Turkey made their come back to raise the number of participants to 32. It has to be said that only Africa hasn't been represented yet. 

It was previously noticed that international hits were not really succesful in the World Song Contest. Another evidence with Moldova's entry sung by O-Zone who scored a international summer hit in 2004 but didn't reach the top 10 here. Big stars weren't more succesful as Dannii Minogue qualified for the final thanks to the disqualification of other countries and finished last of the final for Australia.

In the WSC bettings, which tries to predict the winner of the World Song Contest, Moldova appeared as a top favourite, mainly because it was a number 1 hit already known by almost every participants. Bulgaria came second of the prediction, followed by Romania and the Philippines who shared the third position. Only Romania was really in the top 3. Denmark, with the song Revelations day performed by Twoface, became the fourth winner of the World Song Contest while Greece finished second for the second time.

Twoface started out in Copenhagen Denmark in the year 2000 as a project based on Henrik Søgaard’s catchy pop songs and his various musical friendships. By the year 2002, the sound of Twoface was defined. For two years, the Twoface project had been playing and recording on their own, when one day, pop/hip-hop producer chief 1 stopped by. Chief 1 had the studio next door and he wanted permission to produce one of the songs that had gotten stuck in his head. A few days later, the song "Fire in Your Eyes" was ready to roll and bring Twoface to the next level. Twoface and Chief 1 decided to take the song straight to the Danish National Radio. They loved it and it became the ..powerplay song of the week... Twoface’s sound caught the attention of other Danish radio stations and record companies, and two weeks later Twoface signed a recording contract with Edel-Mega Records. The incredibly catchy first single "Fire in Your Eyes" was followed by the grandiose single "Revelations Day", which made Twoface the first Danish band with two ..powerplay songs of the week.. in a row on Danish National Radio. The album "Sounds of a Rude World", including the singles "Fire in Your Eyes" and "Revelations Day", was ready to hit the streets in 2003 when financial problems shut down the record label. The Swedish label Playground Music Scandinavia took over. In the following years, Twoface had huge airplay on radio stations in Poland, Greece, Russia, Turkey and Brazil among others. Despite their top-of-the-charts airplay, they never managed to tour due to their status as a project with a heavy rotation of musicians. The project concept was scrapped, and Twoface became the face of Henrik Søgaard’s catchy and melancholy pop songs. As a solo artist with the record label Stamp Music, the way has been made for the new album "Road to Sanity", which includes the singles "Fire in Your Eyes" and "Revelations Day" plus ten new songs.
