To the FSC Community!

As a first step toward a Celebration of FSC #100 (the 100th FSC-edition) in June 2017, we would like to invite you all on a Journey through FSC-History.

In the coming 9 weeks I will on a regular basis post a video in this thread of some of the FSC-winners through the years. The first, which I will post this evening, will be from FSC#1 in March 2009; it is fitting to begin with our first winner, but after that I will select winners randomly from our FSC-history and with a view to showing winning songs from different FSC-nations and in different musical styles to celebrate our valued diversity.

In this way we can all listen (again) to - and enjoy and celebrate - many of the great songs that the FSC Community has embraced and that have won this beloved online music-contest of ours through the years.

You are, of course, welcome to comment on the winners and to share your memories of those particular songs and editions, but please don’t let this become a ‘undeserved winner, I liked such and such much better’ type of thread: we wish this to be a positive thread, to celebrate 8 years of FSC music and, for now, with a focus on these great winning melodies that so many of us treasure(d).

You are all valued members of our FSC Community - and thank you for sharing your love of music and friendly competition with us all, over all these years! xhug

I wasn't in FSC back then, heck I wasn't even in this forum I think, but I have fond memories of that song and it's such a gem xcheer

Nice idea for a thread!

Actually, 2/3 of this group were born and raised in Sweden (the third one grew up in Sweden), also a fun trivia is that the the original girl in the group (before the girl who can be seen/heard in this song) was part of the first group created in the first season of Swedish Popstars TV-show, while the guys are from the group created in the second season of that show.

The winning song of FSC 04 edition (Chen Aharoni - Barechov) is one of my favorite Israeli songs ever! I'm sure it would've been my 12 pointer if I took part back then xup And I'm glad Cascada won (FSC 08) with their best song to date.

Those were the early days of FSC. I don't know if there are still players from the first editions, but some winners wouldn't even be top 20 nowadays :lol:

[MENTION=10140]cegs5[/MENTION] Well, some of us are still around ;) I joined the FSC around FSC#8 (autumn 2009) and a few others here may have joined even earlier. Main difference in those early days was that there were about 20 songs only in each edition so thereby a little easier perhaps to gain victory. Even so, well deserved victories!

Consequently a little harder to win these days perhaps with 30-35 competing songs, but you might be surprised, some of those earlier winners (and other FSC-songs at the time) might have done excellently today as well ('timeless songs'), others perhaps less so ;)

But this has been the case throughout FSC-history. Some songs have favourably (others less so) caught the 'mood' of the time and the FSC juries at the time, mirroring the member's musical tastes (and the collective 'musical taste' of our FSC Community, if you wish, which has changed periodically, in phases over time, when members have left and new members have joined) and all in relation to its competitors in that FSC-edition.

As we all know, a lot of different factors (some more explainable than others) influence a final result in the FSC, which is what makes it all so unpredictable and exciting!

Oh, I didn't even know this one was on FSC!?

Such a great song, one of the better "one hit wonders" of the last decade/s for sure, brings back alot of memories and emotions though.

I took a look at the chart history for the song, and by November 2011 it had already peaked in its initial markets Australia and New Zealand aswell as Benelux (peaked in September 2011)...

...as for worldwide success, that came in 2012 on a more global scale (the single seems to have peaked in most markets around March-April 2012).

It was before it became a hit in the US. I remember feeling smug when this finally broke through here because I had already known the song from months before. :mrgreen:
