Kostanovia

NSC 40
After a few editions on the Waiting List, Kostanovia came into NSC with an NF! 5 songs were entered, including 1 disqualified song, and Strip Teaser won by a landslide! The song failed to reach the final in NSC 40.

NSC 41
Kostanovia decided on another NF for NSC 41. 2nd place from the last national final, Ke$ha went up against Livvi Franc to represent Kostanovia for NSC 41. Another landslide win, this time by Livvi Franc, Ke$ha settling for 2nd place once again! Once again, Kostanovia failed to reach the final.

NSC 42
After 2 consecutive final misses, it was decided that NF's simply didn't bring success for the country, so the entry was chosen internally. It was announced that Cassie Davis, an Australian rock-chick would represent Kostanovia with her song, Do It Again. The song finished 2nd in the final with 186 points, making it one of the highest achieving songs in NSC history!

NSC 43
A national final was tested once more hoping that with better songs Kostanovia could achieve in the final! Jody's song Kiss Of Life won the NF, yet again with landslide points, ahead of Wind It, the 2nd placed song by the same singer, and 4 others! The song finished 29th in the final with a tiny 9 points, leaving little hope for Kostanovia in NSC.

NSC 44
Kostanovia were back, with yet ANOTHER national final. Clearly not learning from earlier mistakes the country went ahead with the NF. When it was discovered that the leader, Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood had already been confirmed (and later cancelled) a complete revamp was added to the country's style and they dumped R&B for the catchy pop/rock style which brought them success in NSC 42. The song Critical by Soft Toy Emergency was chosen and proved to be a success finishing 3rd in the final with 132 points!

NSC 45
Another internal entry by Kostanovia! The Texan singer, Kelly Clarkson had just released her single, Already Gone and Kostanovia pounced! There were a few countries considering the song so there was no delay in confirmation. The song got a pleasing decision in the final finishing 19th but it was still not certain that Kostanovia would become successful in NSC despite appealing to certain countries for their unpredictable style.

NSC 46
Before a short break, Kostanovia decided that they would do an NF to determine a new entry for them! 4 songs from 3 different genres, plus an extra "Critic's Choice" was entered. Here's how the results looked:

NSC 47
The country took a short break from NSC.

NSC 48
Ellie Goulding was chosen internally with her song, Under The Sheets! The song finished 9th in the final.

NSC 49
Another internal selection from Kostanovia! The song was by another Australian, Sia, with her song You've Changed. The song finished 11th in the semi, but made the final with WL votes. It finished 22nd in the final.

NSC 50
Another Australian artist was chosen internally, this time Natalie Bassingthwaighte, who previously finished top 10 with her song Alive. Unsure of even reaching the final, Kostanovia didn't believe they could beat 7th place. They were mistaken and finished 4th.

NSC 51
Yet another internal selection! 14-year-old singer Jessica Jarrell entered with her song Armageddon, which was specially remixed to appear in NSC. It finished 26th in the final.

NSC 52
Determined to prequalify again, Kostanovia used their PQing formula, catchy pop/rock fronted by a cute, sassy rocker chick. The formula failed them this time as Vita Chambers and her song Young Money only made 23rd in the final!

NSC 53
A song which had been on the Kostanovian charts for over a year was finally entered into NSC. Afrikaans singer Nadine released her first English single in 2009, and the Kostanovian public fell in love instantly. This was the first time a South African had been entered by Kostanovia since Jody, and all other African singers entered by other countries failed, so they were hoping this time there'd be success. Nadine didn't disappoint in the final, picking up many fans along the way to finishing 3rd in the contest with 132 points! The song went onto top the Kostanovian charts, once again for the first time since April 2009 (personal "airplay" charts lol) and appeared on numberous charts in other countries too!

NSC 54
After their NSC 53 success, Kostanovia were given the opportunity to host NSC 54, which they proudly accepted. The contest which was hosted in Rescana had Kat Deluna representing the home team! In The End had been planned for a while but was never entered, but Kostanovia were given another PQ risk opportunity. The song finished a shocking 9th in the final, with 126 points!

NSC 55
Kostanovia came back their first NF in a long time! Two ballads were chosen, Sibel's "I'm Sorry", against Agnes' "Sometimes I Forget". Sibel won with 80% of the votes. This is the first landslide win in a Kostanovian NF since NSC 43, where Jody failed to make any impact on the scoreboard. Will this be any different?
