You see now this is the problem with these sorts of things - people are encouraged to vote for their 'countrymen' as opposed to the song they like (which kinda defeats the purpose of it all)...

Still I wish him the best of luck and I'm sure he'll have votes flooding in!

I havent heard the song, but yes absolutely I'll vote for her. Dont want to be accused of not supporting my country and that great brand New Zealand Music

Speaking of which I just had a look at the website and couldn't find any list of what songs there were without it wanting me to enter my email address (which I'm definatley not going to do having read their privacy policy)...

Angelfire - Virginia Wigmore, New Zealand Teen
Hallelujah - Virginia Wigmore, New Zealand Teen
Ko Te Tohu - Ruia Aperahama, New Zealand World Music
Let Me Be Your Lover - Derek Solomon, New Zealand AAA/Roots/Americana

// hip-hop "revoltion"

I don't find hip-hop revolting at all.

and besides, he's only one nz nominee amongst many - what about some of the others, are they worthy 'representitives'?

Pate Pate Radio Remix - Opetaia Foai/Malcolm Smith
Samulai - Opetaia Foai

The Grand Prize song "Hallelujah," by 18 yr-old Gin Wigmore of Auckland, NZ, was selected out of 11,000 entries from 77 countries to win the 2004 Overall Grand Prize. She will receive $10,000 US in cash and $30,000 US in merchandise and services.

--Didn't Moana win this last year? Does it strike anyone else as odd that a NZer would win this two years in a row? man, how good are we at songwriting eh?
