Grolskira in the Internatia Song Contest

Grolskira participated in ISC 33, held in Dramaskus, Zephyrus. Their song choice was internal.

Grolskiric Showdown - Song Rates and Opinions - ISC 33

Before the start of ISC 33 reservations, Grolskiric IBU members broadcasters, GLTV and GrolSat, decided to hold a different kind of song selection called "Grolskiric Showdown - Song Rates and Opinions". It was told to go episodically at points. The first time both broadcasters aimed to collect 15 opinions from Internatian nations, but also some of Outernatian nations have had their say. Their first subject to send was chosen to be R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" after Caprikan broadcaster CBC offered the song to Grolskira. However, the decision was rather expected to be considered for months instead of few months less than the timespan that was considered.

Random 15 nations voted in the first episode of "Grolskiric Showdown - Song Rates and Opinions" by deciding with using "Yes" or "No" to answer whether they're fine with Grolskiric choice and Grolskira can send it. All of these answers were counted carefully like this:

Option	Voters	The amount of votes
Yes	, , , , , , , , , , ,	12
No	, , A+	3

Auspikitan voted as well, but although did not really fit in the frame of the 15, they were in the majority voting "Yes" for the entry.

At ISC

Right before the show Tikata's A+ decided to poke fun at Grolskiric choice.

Grolskira was drawn 19th in the semifinal 2 afer Amsteris and before Sunetti. It received a mixed amount of feedbacks through mentions: some nations didn't mention Grolskiric songs in their top, some did. And Grolskira eventually made to the final, announced in the second last (12th) envelope.

The final gave Grolskira the 16th draw, which is after Zephyrus's song and before Saint Eva & Lepland's. This was an unsettling draw, considering the songs surrounding were more uptempo, while Grolskira wasn't, but "Losing My Religion" managed to place 2nd in the final. Though, if any other country gave Grolskira one more point, they could've won over Tikata. Tikata won tiebreaker by having more 12's, therefore, won and got rights to host ISC 35.
