Grolskira in the Internatia Song Contest
◄20 22►

Grolskira participated in Internatia Song Contest 21 in Stettino, Monteverde. They selected their song through internal selection for the first time in Grolskiric ISC history. Their choice was the supposed host entry at the time of ISC 18 in case of victory - Coldplay with "Paradise"

Lakmosoja Y Lakma 21

While GLTV was having lack of things to do in September albeit being prepared for ISC 15, Lakmosoja Y Lakma 21 was held in 2nd September 2013. It had 7 songs there and the winner of NF was Sara Bareilles with "Love Song". Unfortunately she injured her leg after a rural bomb attacked Amsteris weeks before she was intended to be sent to ISC 21. Instead, she went for ISC 25 because she was sent home for few months to take care of her leg, but later was postponed one edition further, but eventually competed 5 editions later from ISC 21.

OneRepublic rumours and the final decision

After the ISC 19 final results show has finished, GLTV has announced that Coldplay will go to ISC 21 with "Paradise", but due to TVH protests of sending a song they don't like, GLTV had to tell the ISC world they're sending OneRepublic with their hit "Counting Stars". Dvipantara showed the love for the song while CBC tried to bribe GLTV to send Chisu with "Sama Nainen". Not knowing how to respond at all of the requests/accept likes/dislikes, GLTV cancelled off OneRepublic, but there was another reason that main vocalist Ryan Tedder was sick and the entire band had to take care of their friend.

Just a day before ISC 21 reservations ending, GLTV confirmed about their choice that it was going to be the one that they announced after ISC 19 final results.

At ISC

Grolskira was drawn 12th in semifinal 2, following Atsoumpalia and preceeding Yutuland.

TVH (as shown first) didn't really like the decision of GLTV to eventually go with the song they announced after ISC 19 final results, so GrolSat, a freshly new ISC music only TV channel, has applied for IBU membership and received it. GrolSat became more active for promoting Grolskira in ISC 21 to the bigger auditory.

The Grolskiric entry got a positive remark from Irdminian people because they have watched the ISC 21 semifinal 2 recap and they made a quick ranking by it and placed Grolskira first. [1]

After ISC 21 semifinal results massive protests went over the streets because it was revealed that Grolskira didn't qualify to ISC 21 final because of lost tiebreaker with Tashkveny, who was the 12th qualifier and to whom Grolskira has given 10 points apparently in the semi (and Aonach). Next day after the ISC 21 semi results revealment, "Paradise" was eventually named as "the most underrated ISC song ever".
