World Song Contest

51 songs competed in the 57th edition of the World Song Contest. Among them, Barbados which took part for the very first time. Greece and Mexico were both disqualified after they didn't vote for the semi finals, while being directly qualified after their results in the previous edition. That's why the final welcomed 34 songs instead of 36. Among the big shocks from the semi finals is the elimination of the United States of America. The country was represented by noone else than Lady GaGa with one of her massive hit, "Bad Romance".

Emilie Simon made a come back in WSC, after a first participation for Monaco back in WSC .29, where she finished second, with "Fleur de Saison", a song which was seen as one of the best of that year in the contest. This time she managed to reach 4th place for France. She was not the only one to try her luck again in WSC, as Erik Hassle did better for Sweden with a fifth position after he already reached the top 10 in WSC .46, Laura Pausini came back for the 7th time. she already took part for Italy in WSC .06, WSC .07, WSC .08, WSC .10, WSC .20 and for San Marino in WSC .44. She reached the top 10 for the 4th time, this time in a duo with James Blunt.

Once again we had a very close race between the songs of the top 6. Only 12 points seperated the winner from the 6th position, among them, four European countries. But the victory was promised to Asia with the first ever win of Malaysia. Dato' Siti Nurhaliza won the contest with the song "Ku Percaya Ada Cinta", ahead of Poland and Germany.
