Still waiting on 3 votes, and one that needs revision as they voted for the same song twice.

Only 3 hours left to vote!

Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!
Yes, the IOC decided to take over the results presentation for the Best Summer Song contest.
They think this should be an official Olympic event as they know DS forums members have better taste with summer tunes than the DJs at the games right now.

Let's start with the wooden spoon winner.

The Wooden Spoon award goes too... USA! This was at nul points at the halfway mark. To be fair with Drew, someone stole his 1st choice that may or may not have done well in this contest.

The host entry got a shameful bottom 5 placing. I got inspired by watching Koreans dominate archery. So, I sent this song instead.

Next song escaped the bottom 5. But, was still at nul points after half of the votes. Talk about late surge.

The next one is surprisingly our only Balkan participant. Many have not qualified for this final. Maybe the sexy dancing is too much for the audience here.

Edit: Oops, I forgot about the Romanians.

Dua Lipa might have strong ties to Kosovo. But, she's a proud member of Team GB. Finishing with a decent 16th place is...

14th place goes to the first of the two Romanian athletes in this event. Romanians should be proud that this became a hit not only in Europe but across the Atlantic as well.

I'm just using Google and Wikipedia right now. I decided to make this one Olympic-themed so that it'll be more fun.

We are almost at the halfway point. This one is an old school goodie, not surprising that weedy likes it.

I want to say everyone should save money and go see the Olympics at Tokyo in 2020. I've been there, and it's an awesome place. Will go there again. The video for this one showcases how nice Japan is.
