Re: 🇺🇸 Northeastern United States — WV 66: Simon & Garfunkel (National Final Underway!)

Hello, and welcome to the Northeastern United States' national final for WorldVision 66! Five editions after our most recent national final, and several months without much success in WorldVision, I have finally managed to get the time to hold a new national final. As with many of our previous national finals, Soundcheck '66 will be a one-artist national final with songs from a returning artist for the Northeastern United States: Simon & Garfunkel. The duo previously represented the region in WorldVision 47 with the song Sound of Silence, which placed 5th in the final.

Simon & Garfunkel was an American folk duo consisting of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Based out of Queens in New York City, the duo was one of the most popular artists of the 1960's in the United States, with such big hits as "The Sound of Silence" (1964), "Mrs. Robinson" (1968), and "Bridge over Troubled Water" (1969). Before breaking up in 1970, the duo released their final, most successful album, Bridge over Troubled Water, which is one of the most successful albums of all time, with about 25 million copies sold.​


The Songs:

To vote, please send me (Aditya) a PM with your votes by 23:59 CET on 12 June.
You have 22 points to allocate to the four songs however you wish (a song can receive 0 points) with the caveat that you cannot give the same number of points to any song.​

Re: 🇺🇸 Northeastern United States — WV 66: Simon & Garfunkel (National Final Underway!)

:paci: voted. I think you just surpassed your previous folk NF. A legendary pair and four stunningly beautiful songs. Just send whatever, seriously. I love them all. One makes me extra emotional thoughxcry1 I also secretly hate you Aditya for doing this the edition I decide to send my first folk tinged songxheart:lol: You'll slay me in that battlexheat

Good luck! An early wish and prediction, but go for the win! One of these in particular I think could do it.

The Results:

Below, we can see the results for Soundcheck '66. First is the amount of points awarded using the actual voting system for this national final (22 points distributed among the four songs), with the points using the Eurovision voting system (12, 10, 8, and 7 points) afterwards — the placings of the entries were the same under both systems.

A huge thanks to everyone who voted in this national final! xheart

Hint for WorldVision 68:

Re: 🇺🇸 Northeastern United States — WV 68: Hint

For WorldVision 69, I am planning on one of two options:

  1. Sending one of the songs from the Simon & Garfunkel national final (likely the runner-up). I'm still not over how I wasted probably the best entry I've ever sent (and likely the best I will ever send) to WorldVision by failing to vote in time. :'(
  2. Holding another national final with modern songs — this will definitely happen for WorldVision 70 if I decide to go for S&G for WorldVision 69. :)

I'm not sure yet which one I am planning on doing; the final decision will come based on your comments (if any :p) as well as the reception to the WorldVision 68 entry I've sent earlier today. :)

Re: 🇺🇸 Northeastern United States — WV 68: Hint and Plans for WV 69

After a few weeks where I disappeared from the forum, the :neus: is back in WorldVision. I believe I've addressed the reasons I failed to vote last few times, and I'm confident going forward. xcheer

Our next entry will be chosen in a one-artist national final which will begin later this weekend (after the semifinals end).
