Global Music Royalty Nominees
We are looking for Global Music Royalty # 49 and you have nominated these 3 artists:
Aynur Aydin
Global Music Champion Aynur Aydin burst onto our radar winning the contest in GM76. Since then she has participated another six times and represented both Turkey and Germany. With her latest efforts she also took home a silver medal, making her one of the most succesful Turkish artists in the contest.
Carly Rae Jepsen
This Canadian songstress has graced us with her presence 6 times. On 4 of these participations she reached the top 10, and she even came close to a medal with her chart topping mega hit "Call me maybe".
Poets of the Fall
Rock has always been a tough sell on the GM-stage, but this Finnish rock group has proved that with the right melody and lyrics, they can speak to the masses. Poets of the Fall has represented their native Finland four times. On their third attempt they brought victory to Finland for the first time, and with their latest effort they came close again, settling for the silver. Reaching the top 2 on 50% of your participations is very well done.
You decide who of these 3 artists will be named as our next Global Music Royalty!
