Gossip WINS International Contest!  

As always, preselections, as seen on this blog, select songs to compete in The Countdown International, where individual songs, one from each nation, entered by nations from all over the world compete.  

Big thanks to everyone in the international competition who voted for the song, and of course, thanks to everyone who participated in the US preselections to select the song in the first place.

Complete results of the Countdown international competition can be viewed in three ways.

1.  Results on the Scorewiz, presented dynamically showing each nation's votes as they came in.


2.  A simple list of score results.


3.  A full voting grid showing which nations voted for which songs. 

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

                                           Gossip - "Perfect World"

 

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