Astique in the Nation Song Contest

Astique is member of NSC since 5th of August 2007. It participated 8 times in NSC. Astique usually selects entry via NF except for NSC 13 & NSC 16 where it was decided by internal decision. Worst result ever was 9th place with 108 in Microstate Qualification round for NSC 13 and the best was 4th place with 137 points in NSC 14 finals. Even if Shirley ended only 18th she managed to prequalify Astique to the finals due to a lot of microstate being in actual top 14. In NSC 17 Astique had a NF with a poll, elimination game and simple voting. Dixie Chicks won the voting part, but Emmy Rossum won elimination game and the poll. But Astiquian jury decided to ingnore elimination game and the poll results due to terrible voting which was caused by revealing the results of voting before elimination and poll started. For NSC 19 Astique will do internal again and in NSC 20 NF will be back with a theme 'Couples'. After 4th place in NSC 14 with Kelly Clarkson and 'Because Of You' Astique didn't score any high position.
