Update -  Ingrid Michaelson Wins International Competition (on technicality)

The good news is that the song was clearly well liked by many people around the globe.  A big thank you to all the international managers who enjoyed Ingrid Michaelson!

The bad news is that the "win" happened because the manager from Romania, whose song by received the most points, failed to vote.  This results in an automatic 12 point penalty, and this put the US and Ingrid Michaelson over the top.  The original score to Geta Burlacu was 117 points, but this fell to 105 points after the penalty, leaving Ingrid Michaelson at 110 points, the victor.



 
And the Winner, and the  June 2012 US entry to the Countdown is...

Ingrid Michaelson - "In The Sea"


:flowers: A big thank you to everyone who voted in the US preselection!
