WV 129 Update

CTV has asked for the "lucky charm", and the rest of the Consortium agreed unanimously. Can it FINALLY bring Canada its first victory???

WV 129

Loreena McKennitt - Lost Souls

​

 

[Stargazer]

Bless you for this!

 

[esc87fan]

Five times I've sent Loreena, five times I've qualified! She really IS Canada's lucky charm!

 

[esc87fan]

A silver medal coming off a really hard DNQ is quite an achievement, but it would have been so amazing to taste victory again for the first time since WV 34 (95 editions ago). Nonetheless, I will keep trying until Canada gets its long-awaited first win.

Thank you to all of you who have supported Loreena over the 5 editions (2 in round 1, 3 in round 2) and given me these fantastic results - that's why she truly is my lucky charm.

As to WV 130, I'm not sure how to follow this up, but I will think of something

WV 130

Faouzia - Tears of Gold

 

[esc87fan]

Another top 10 finish! Thank you all for your votes, seems like Canada is on a roll!

CTV is struggling between sending some classic Canadian rock or something from the 80s. What would you like to see?

 

[Eulaliya]

Send Kon Kan's banger, it's an 80s jam in the Philippines every Sunday afternoon!

WV 131

Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon

 

[cegs5]

Kon Kan was popular in Peru too, but the song I most remember is Harry Houdini, it’s still played in the radios nowadays, as a classic I believe. Nevertheless, this is a great choice too!

 

[esc87fan]

I was expecting a big flop, but regardless thanks to those who voted for Kon Kan

Time to re-focus and get back into a positive frame of mind. What to do next? Hmmm

 

[esc87fan]

WV 132 UPDATE

CBC has released a clue towards our next entry! What do you make of this?

I guess Mecca wasn't ready for a Pikachu parade, unfortunately it was a bottom three finish in the semi. But like Ash, we're going to keep trying till we get it right
