Yesterday evening I've collected myself a few songs I want to submit at some point this decade (and hopefully you lots will like more than my recent stuff). However this first edition will have to do without me.

Unfortunately Madonna is American so she's not available for the UK 

I notice from the previous posts you've maybe been a bit confused as to how the contests work exactly,
but don't worry it's a common mistake by new users and we are here to give advice!

So just to put it simply you need to find singers/groups from your nation here that either have roots or are born there
If you are from the UK, you need to find acts originally from UK and so forth

Same goes for any other nation in all of the contests as well. Here in retro you represent your home nation and in many other contests
you just pick a nation of your choice and send an act from that nation, etc.

For example, a singer from lets say Portugal cannot represent Spain,
if they have no connection to that nation like some proper roots or dual nationality or so
In this case here, a singer from the US cannot represent the UK since they have no connection to them at all

A singer from Portugal that has proper roots and connection to the country can represent Portugal though
and a singer from Spain can represent Spain, etc.

All in all, there always needs to be a connection of being born there, having parent(s) from there and officially having the nationality,
sometimes living there for a long time is also enough, but that depends on a contest whether they allow that kind of connection to be acceptable

You'll get the idea once you start taking part in contests regularly!
Take your time and carefully learn it all! It's fun once you get it going

Hopefully i was able to help a bit, but feel free to ask any of us here in the SCF community if there's any questions,
we'll be happy to help any new users or relatively new ones!  All of us have been newbies at some point

Bananarama probably gave him PTSD from the last edition

it's been almost 50 editions and i have yet to send anything by an ainu artist. that's so not it. so, here's andō umeko, who sadly passed away just about 6 months after i was born. i know this won't score well at all, but hopefully by sending this song, i can do what little i can to help preserve the language, music, and culture of the indigenous people of hokkaidō
