Well for Asian fans out there, Eurovision will conquer the Asia Pacific region very soon! Early this year, I already knew that the organiser of Eurovision planned to bring this online voting to Asia late this year ( refer to my previous post in Jan).

Below is the offcial video clip courtesy of one of the Philippine popular broadcasting systems, ABS-CBN to show that it is really coming to Asia!



I cant wait who will be the Philippine entry for this first Eurovision’s style of singing competition which is now formally known as “OUR SOUND, THE ASIA PACIFIC SONG CONTEST 2010… The initial name for this contest launched in September 2008 is AsiaVision which the official site derived its name. According to the official website states that “Our Sound™ – The Asia-Pacific Song Contest is a highly emotional music competition between Asian nations. This new, annual mega entertainment TV event is Asia’s Olympic Games of Pop Music, a thrilling search for Asia’s best song.”

HONESTLY, THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING EVENT OF THE YEAR for countries in the Asia Pacific region. Wikipedia has already created a page for this as well. According to the site, it is rumoured that Singapore will be the host of the final event as the contest headquarters are based. It is also expected that the initial selection for each country will start in October 2009 and 13 countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam will join the competition.

I can't wait to find out who will be the first winner of Our Sound to be announced in March 2010. See you there!
