Global Music Royalty Nominees
We are looking for Global Music Royalty # 41 and you have nominated these 3 artists:
Amir Haddad
He is nominated for his great success in the contest. Though he just missed the final on his 7th participation, Amir is a Global Music Champion as well as a Bronze Medallist. Even more impressing is the fact that he won the Super Final back in 2016. And he is so popular that 4 different countries have asked him to represent them!
Annalisa Scarrone
This Italian songstress is - despite her lack of medals - a true Global Music veteran. With 11 participations under her belt, Annalisa is a true competitor. She has never missed the final and has even reached the top 10 on 4 ocasions, though she has yet to finish in the top 5. It's probably only a matter of time, before she reaches that milestone as well.
Franziska Wiese
The German Schlager princess has represented tiny Liechtenstein 3 times in Global Music. Her first two participations led to gold medals and she also reached the top 10 on her last attempt! It's hard to claim that she isn't worthy of Royalty status!
You decide who of these 3 artists will be named as our next Global Music Royalty!
Voting is done through the voting form for the final, so be sure to use the voting form here when voting. Only votes made this way will be counted!
