I perfectly understand that I have to work on myself much more and develop my video-editing skills. I hope you are not too disappointed by the recap video. 

Thank you very much for your attention and I would greatly appreciate if you dedicate a few minutes of your time to participating in the selection procedure!

Oh I see Latifa. Guess someone wants to enter the top 10 again.


More serious: I just watched the recap and found some interesting songs. Therefore I'll (hopefully) try to vote in the upcoming days.

No entrant other than Emin and Latifa had managed to bring up a top 10 spot for Azerbaijan in WWWSC. However, when choosing Latifa's song, I didn't even think of its capability for a potential successful outcome. I have accidentally encountered that song recently and was kinda surprised why I have not considered sending it to the contest before.

By the way, since you are going to vote in the upcoming days, do you want me to tag you for the further reminders?

Yes please.

I'd actually prefer a PM, but I think I'm capable of not forgetting completely.

RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT

It seems no one will be going to cast his/her votes and that is why I decided to disclose the results of the National Selection before the deadline. I extend my gratitude to all the 11 participants who supported me in the selection process. Due to lack of time I couldn't make a results video even though I planned to do so initially. Hence, the results will be provided via a Scorewiz link. (the first spoiler) In the second spoiler, you may find the winner and voting grid, so I would advise not to open the second spoiler directly if you want to watch the results. Thanks for your attention!

12. Ya Tosiba - Maşın 33
13. Les Gardiens du Silence - Maayan 33
