St. Lotus in the Nation Song Contest

St. Lotus has participated in every edition since NSC 20.

The Beginning
After the split from Leonesia St. Lotus discussed about joining the NSC family. The island wanted to gain interest from other countries and to show what good music St. Lotus can produce.

To determine the entries the national broadcaster RTL wanted to make a great preselection, known as the St. Lotus Festival. However the costs to held such a preselection were too high, so that RTL chose to select the future entries internally.

In the NSC
NSC 20

St. Lotus sent the foreign band Simple Plan to Ugaly. They performed a ballad called Untitled in the 15th spot in semi-final 1.

The expectation was very high and St. Lotus declared itself to a favourite for the victory. In the semi the debut country came 4th with being 1st in the votes of the rest jury. However Simple Plan managed to end up only in 8th place.

NSC 21

After the good result with its debut entry St. Lotus chose to determine Simple Plan again with their new song When you're gone. There was much criticism about this decision because the public wanted another band because of the "disappointing" result in NSC 20.

Simple Plan soon stepped back and were going to represent Ametan in Alinta. RTL chose The Sparks and the song When do I get to sing "My Way"?' to bring St. Lotus in the final again.

The Sparks came up only in 17th place, making the country not to qualify for the final. However St. Lotus won again the rest jury vote and was able to compete in final. With 59 points Sr. Lotus became 28th and last in NSC 21.

NSC 22

For the first time Simple Plan were not chosen but the female singer Enya with her song Orinoco flow. In Jastistia St. Lotus became 9th both in semi-final and in the final. So the small island managed to reach the final three times in a row.
