Grolskira in the Internatia Song Contest
◄8 10►

Grolskira participated in the Internatia Song Contest 9 in Woodchester, Saint Eva & Lepland and selected their song through national final, called Lakmosoja Y Lakma 9, organised by GLTV. The winner of it was Kelly Clarkson with the song "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".

At ISC

Grolskira was drawn to perform in Semi 1 for the first time after being drawn in the second one the previous edition for the first time as well. They performed 5th, between Edoriada and Tikata, and the HoD of Grolskira thought it was a lucky number for the nation.

Grolskiric entry received a lot of negative comments on their "unoriginality" this edition, with Spirevo even assigning the entry a 'negative nickname' ("fermented snake blood"). Despite all this, Grolskira managed to qualify for the first time in the semifinal era. Their performance number was 18 - after Oalia and before Thorway. The nation didn't do well - placed only 23rd among 25th finalists.

Before all this, Grolskiric delegation got into trouble with presenting the official MP3 of their entry for the official ISC 9 CD on time, but suddenly SBC (host broadcaster) did find out a spare file for the competition as the rumours say, and Grolskira was quite allowed to compete. Although since ISC 14, Grolskira usually remembers to forward their necessary ISC information during the HoD meetings, including the MP3s for the official ISC CDs.

After ISC

Despite not voting in the other semi than the one they compete in yet, GLTV alone revealed that due to the huge popularity of Rötenrod's last representatives, Muse, had they voted now, Rötenrod would've received 12 or 10 points in Semifinal 2. However, as the same happened with Irdminia's third representatives, Archive, but only 3 years later, eventhough in the final they did receive Grolskira's 1 point; it was considered the semi 12 would've eventually went to them rather than Muse's song.

In general, the 2017 top 10 of Grolskira's for ISC 9 semifinal 2 would look something like this:

12 points	Irdminia
10 points	Rötenrod
8 points	Thorway
7 points	Dinokratys & Shrikidai
6 points	DPR Jindalea
5 points	Luzze
4 points	Oalia
3 points	Novatlantida
2 points	Pebbleland
1 point	Kwonia
