Cydoni-Gibberia in the Nation Song Contest

Cydoni-Gibberia has participated in NSC eleven times, and plans to continue competing. This article is a detailed overview of Cydoni-Gibberia's history in NSC.

NSC 20
For the Cydu debut entry, CyGiTV held an internal selection. The Utah Saints were chosen to represent Cydoni-Gibberia with the song Something Good 08. The song came last in the semi, with just 22 points.

NSC 21
After the failure of The Utah Saints in NSC 20, CyGiTV has organised a national final for NSC 21, called 'The Pulse Of Music'. Minor controversy arose around the NF, after Song 1, 'Heaven', was discovered to have been used in NSC in the past in microstate qualifications. You & Me was eventually sent to NSC 21, where it qualified, becoming the first Cydu NSC entry to get to the final. The song ended in 9th place, becoming the most successful Cydu NSC entry and gaining 5 sets of 12 points. However, Uniting Nations did not secure a place in the Top 6, and so Cydoni-Gibberia will again have to qualify from the semi-finals for NSC 22.

NSC 22
The Pulse Of Music returns for NSC 22, to be held in Jastistia. Four songs were chosen by CyGiTV in the hope that Cydoni-Gibberia could reach the final once again, which they did with Pigloo's song 'Moi J'Aime Skier', and was seen by some nations (notably Tohru and Reym-L-Dneurb) as a shock qualifier.

NSC 23
The Pulse Of Music returned for it's 3rd edition, and contained 10 songs, the largest NF for Cydoni-Gibberia ever. Keane, Hot Chip and previous NSC entrants Uniting Nations (responsible for the best result for Cydoni-Gibberia) returned for another shot at glory. The Verve won, and were hotly tipped to win the overall competition, however left the competition early, finishing 12th with 58 points, failing to qualify.

NSC 24
After failing to qualify to the final in NSC 23, Cydoni-Gibberia will have to pass through the semi-finals again. CyGiTV internally selected InnerPartySystem to represent the island in Maccha-Brugia, with the 'original' song "Don't Stop". Cydoni-Gibberia returned to the final of NSC this edition, with the help of the juries from Semi 1, and finished 18th in the final, Cydoni-Gibberia's 2nd best ever result.

NSC 25
The Pulse Of Music returned for NSC 25, with eight acts hoping to represent the nation in Vorhota. Hi_Tack won the NF, with one-third of the 12 points given to them, however, failed to qualify to the final of NSC, gaining 56 points uinin the 2nd semi and ending 13th. Recap by eurouk3434

NSC 26
CyGiTV made their 3rd internal selection for NSC 26, and New Order were chosen to represent the island in Belvist, with the rock song "Crystal". They openened the second semi-final, and finished 18th with 43 points, leaving Cydoni-Gibberia out of the final for the 2nd time in a row.

NSC 27
CyGiTV held The Pulse Of Music for the 5th time this edition. Head Automatica won with 150 points and represented Cydoni-Gibberia in Swelatie, placing 24th out of 28 in the final. Recap by eurouk3434

NSC 28
For the 9th entry, CyGiTV held another internal selection, selecting Milk Inc. to represent the island with 'Forever'. Milk Inc. previously represented Sunland in NSC 22, placing 6th. Can they repeat their previous success?

NSC 29
NSC 29 was a celebration for CyGiTV as it was Cydoni-Gibberia's 10th entry. Because of this, they invited InnerPartySystem back to perform the nation's entry in Noizeland. Unfirtunately, the song (Die Tonight, Live Forever) failed to impress and came 22nd in the semi-final, equaling the place of Utah Saints, a whole ten years before.

NSC 30
CyGiTV once again chose internally, selecting the unusual music stylings of the group Friendly Fires, who performed "Paris" in Scorpionia for the special 30th NSC. Unfortunately, they finished 24th in the semi-final, above three nations, two of which didn't vote and recieved a reduced score. This was Cydoni-Gibberia's worst result by placing but Friendly Fires were very satisfied at not finishing last.

NSC 31
CyGiTV decided to end the three-year streak of internal selections and will bring The Pulse Of Music back for its sixth running. 5 songs will compete to hopefully bring the island's first win in the contest. Recap by eurouk3434

Future
CyGiTV has aimed to enter every NSC in the future unless technical/financial circumstances crop up.
