Re: Canada 
WV97
Thank you to all those who supported Logan this edition, I'm just happy to have it in the final so that's a total win for me
I'm trying to figure out my next entry and some beyond, so what I'd like to know is: what would you like to see/hear from Canada? Classic rock, 80s pop, more instrumentals, perhaps some folk? I'm dying to hear some great ideas

Thank you so much for the ideas, I will keep them in mind for future entries.
As Canadian juror, I've taken you on a journey to experience music from all across the country. But the one place we have not yet explored is the North. For WV97, we will finally take that journey together to the far reaches and beyond the Northern Lights, with a song by an Inuit artist from Nunavut

Lyrics
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word to find
The truth enslaved
Oh, you speak to me in riddles
And you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cause nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down
Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away
And after, I'd wipe away the tears

Re: Canada WV100 - Howard Shore: Concerning Hobbits
Over 5 years, 80+ editions, three different countries. I've come a long way since June 2013.
My very first entry was "O-oo! by Jackie for Switzerland in WV15 Miami. I was 18th in my semifinal with 18 points. Today, as we celebrate WV100, I'm standing here with a lot more confidence in myself. Sure I've had ups as well as down, but I'm proud of the fact that I have one victory on my resume along with 1 second place, 3 thirds, a handful of top 10 finishes, 2 times as host (3 if you count the WV anniversary show), and 2 semifinal wins. I don't regret anything I've sent, though with some entries I sort of wish they could have done better placement-wise.
So that being said, anyone who has followed my entries since then (or whenever they got the chance to get to know me when they came into the game), I'd like to know some things from you guys:
1. Favorite entry from Switzerland (WV15-WV44)
2. Favorite entry from Canada (WV46-WV85, WV93-present)
3. Favorite entry from Japan (WV86-WV92)
4. What entries do you think should have done better, and why?
5. What would you like to see next from me?
I thank you all for being such great friends to me over these last 5 years and I hope it can continue as long as the game continues. I'm proud and honored to be part of the WorldVision community!

Re: Canada WV100 - Howard Shore: Concerning Hobbits
My all time Canada faves:
Loreena McKennitt - Dante's Prayer
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
K.D. Lang - Constant Craving
Neil Young - Harvest Moon
Nelly Furtado - Turn Off The Light
The Guess Who - These Eyes
My favourite song you've sent probably has to be Dante's Prayer to be honest. A song i've loved for years even before joining WorldVision. Of the songs you introduced me to though, I think Harvest Moon might be my favourite. It kind of sends me into a trance. Such a beautiful song. A lot of my own personal music heroes like The War On Drugs' Adam Granduciel and Kurt Vile cite Neil Young as a major influence on their own works. He's just one of those figures that truly is a legend.
Anyway, Harvest Moon and Turn Off The Light deserved the final (I believe they both got semi 12s from me), and K.D. Lang and Crash Test Dummies would have slayed the final if I could wave a magic wand. You've got those fabulous Loreena Mckennitt top 3 finishes though. I remember that Dante's Prayer edition very well as I was behind you in the results with Perfume Genius' Dark Parts.
Happy WorldVision 100 Steph

Thanks again for helping me reach the final, I needed that boost of confidence given the bad luck I've been having in WV and NSC lately!
Going back to my WV memorial post, I'd like to share with you my three personal picks for each of the three nations I've been juror of. Some of you may have other ideas, but there are reasons why I chose these particular songs.
"Children" by Robert Miles (WV17): It's a song I loved since high school, and upon learning he was Swiss I just had to send it. My third-ever entry, I was so close to the top 10 (I was 3 points out) but it is always a pleasure to send something I truly love. (A side note: I won WLSC 63 with this song)
"Together We Are One" by Serena Ryder (WV54): Yes, "Dante's Prayer" was my most successful Canadian entry, however this song is very personal to me as it was the theme song for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto - my city of Mississauga hosted a couple of events. Every time I hear it, it makes me feel proud to be Canadian. Though it finished in 12th place in the grand final (again missing the top 10 by a few points), it got me my first ever semifinal victory.
"Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyugeshiki" by Sayuri Ishikawa (WV76): When I had the honor of switching to Japan for a few editions, I didn't realize that it would have been that tough since I had more flops than successes. But somehow, when I had the urge to send a song in the enka genre, I had no idea that people would really gravitate to Sayuri-san's "calling card" song. It was my only qualification during that time, so it will remain a special song for me.

I think coming back to Canada was the best decision I could ever make: of the 4 trips to the final since my return, I've had two top 5s and a top 10. The DNQs I have no regrets over as they're songs I like and I'm just glad people like them enough to give them points in the semis
As for this edition, I'm thrilled with my result: 4th in SF1 regular, 2nd in REJU, and 4th overall in the final! I have so many people to thank for this
Let's start with the semis...

For WV101, I'm going back to a song I shared in a past national final, something I like to call a "Kai Klassic" as it's kind of a style that Rainy would send. Here's to the next century of WV, and all your friendship!

When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

We needed to unwind
