USC to compete in Online Music Extravaganza
Online Music Extravaganza is an online contest, where managers send the best three 2007 entries of their contest. USC will compete with these three songs, which were 3 winners during 2007:

Sonja Aldén - För att du finns : Sweden : Spring Edition 2007 : 1st (41 participants with semi) Player: Swedish TEAM, Hampus & Jörgen 158 pts

Tamta - With love : Greece : Summer Edition 2007 : 1st (38 participants with semi) Player : Babis 210 pts

Celine Dion - Á cause : Luxembourg : Autumn Edition 2007 : 1st ( 37 participants with semi) Player : Yannick 140 pts

The semi-finals of Online Music Extravaganza will be probably held in February, while the final takes place in March. Along with the managers, all members from all contests are allowed to vote.

A big name for Spain

The Spanish Delegation has announced a big name for the Winter Edition, due to the last position in the Autumn Final. "We must change a lot of things for not repeating the bottom", said the Spanish chief. "May be, the best way for winning is a big name, a very representative Spanish singer or group that make us dream with a new Top 5". In fact, Spain didn't reach a good position since the 3rd place of Rebeca in USC Summer 2006, long time ago... One of the favourites for representing Spain is D'Nash with his new single, Amanda, but the Spanish Delegation doesn't want to say anything yet about it. We will wait for news in a few weeks. "We promise an important singer and a good song".

ORF welcomes the new management - and says thanks to Liza & Jörgen

ORF, on behalf of the whole Austrian public, wants to welcome the new management! Greg, Babis and Alan: we wish you good luck, good nerves and also a lot of fun for your new tasks. ORF wants to say that it is very satisfied with the new managers, and strongly believes that they will continue the success of USC. Austria guarantees participation in all 4 regular editions of 2008.

Furthermore ORF wants to say thanks to the passing management, Liza and Jörgen. You have built an amazing online contest - for me, Mack, the best that I have ever seen. Because it is not just an online contest with songs and results - it is a community, where the players meet and talk with each other, whether in the chatroom or in MSN. I have met so many wonderful persons here and I don't want to miss that. No matter if we had fun, if we argued or if we just talked about our passion. A wonderful community has grown, and you can be proud of that!

I hope that we will see you often in the USC chat, also when you won't be managers anymore. I am honored that I could have been active member at least for 2 editions under your management.

And for now I say: Tack så mycket, Liza och Jörgen!
