AMERICAN RETRO MELODY
NEW YORK #1
A National Selection for the United States of America!

Good evening World! Welcome to AMERICAN RETRO MELODY, our first National Selection for Retro WWWSC under the new HoD.

Without further ado, let's introduce the host city of the inaugural edition: 

NEW YORK CITY


Home to about 8.4 million people, New York City is the most populous city in the United States, followed by Los Angeles and Chicago. The city is a big metropolis where many ethnicities, religions and diverse people meet. Its fascinating monuments, museums and sights attract millions of tourists every year.

VOTE IN THE POLL ABOVE
You can cast a maximum of 2 votes
In case of a tie, the HoD will decide the entry which will represent the US.


DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, 9th AUGUST 2019
You have 5 days to vote. I won't make any reminders because I don't want to annoy anyone who simply doesn't want to vote.

MOVING ON TO OUR ACTS
Since we keep on getting tons of suggestions from our beloved players, we decided to let some of your suggestions participate! Your names are shown alongside the songs you suggested. If you suggested any of these songs and your name isn't shown, tell me please.
HOW IT WORKS There are 5 competing acts, each one from a different decade: 60s or older ones, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.

60s - What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong (1967)



70s - September by Earth, Wind & Fire (1978) [SanBeanzie 's suggestion]



80s - Call Me by Blondie (1980)



90s - I'll Be Missing You by Puff Daddy and  Faith Evans featuring 112 (1997)



00s - Fireflies by Owl City (2009) [mimisthesc 's suggestion]



We wish best of luck to everyone and may the best song win!

This national selection is not gonna take place every edition because of time constrains. However, I think I'll bring it back every time I have some free time! Furthermore, the format is probably gonna change as I always want to try something new.
