Season 14

General Information
The fourteenth Season of the Doubled Song Contest took place in Manchester, United Kingdom after London Grammar & Celeste won Season 13 with their songs "Lose Your Head" and "Stop This Flame". The Slogan of the Season was "Choose Your Way", referring to the winning song by London Grammar. Once again we've had one big grand final that took place on the 28th of July 2021 in which 28 countries were fighting for the trophy of the fourteenth edition! The Hosts of this Season were Adele (the iconic winner from Season 10 & host of Season 11) together with the beautiful Paloma Faith!

Due to the long break between Season 12 & 13 we lost some participants but we'll happy to continue with a tinier amount of countries and MAYBE we will extend the limit in future editions again, but for now we feel pretty comfortable with only having one big grand final with the maximum limit of 28 countries participating in a DOSC-Final 💞 Moreover we also still allowed that the two songs participating don't need to be performed by the same artist and therefore some combinations of songs in different genres and styles were easily possible for every competing country. This rule will probably not continue in the upcoming Season 15 but will maybe come back in future seasons again!

In Season 14 the following Mystery Countries were participating: Chile, China, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea & United States! As almost always we've had some returnees this edition: Eves Karydas (as Eves The Behaviour) for Australia (Australia Season 11), Senidah for Slovenia (Montenegro in Season 1), Rae Morris for Ireland (UK in Season 11), Duncan Laurence for the Netherlands (as in Season 10), Demi Lovato for Mexico (as in Season 9), Jolin Tsai for China (as in Season 8), KEiiNO for Norway (as in Season 8), Liis Lemsalu for Estonia (as in Season 4) together with Stefan (Estonia in Season 5), RAIGN for Latvia (Winner from Season 9), Roxen for Romania (Winner from Season 7), Elvana Gjata (Season 5) for Albania together with INNA (who competed for Romania in Season 8 & Season 10), Gery-Nikol for Bulgaria (2nd in Season 9) and R3HAB (competed for the Netherlands in Season 7) supported South Korea's CHUNG HA this season.

United States took the win as the very first Mystery Country in the history of the Doubled Song Contest with the songs "Kissing On My Jeweler" and "Trainwreck" by Soulex & BANKS, with a total of 309 points. They won with a difference of 53 Points. It was the first victory of the United States in the Doubled Song Contest, topping their best result from Season 8 in the DOSC where they came second place! The runner-up this season was Sweden - represented by Natali Felicia & VENIOR with the songs "War" and "Sugar Rush" with 256 points. Followed by France in 3rd place (as last season!) represented by Geiste & DONAMARIA who scored 244 points out of 29 votes. Shocking results were the two countries which scored 0 points in the first song voting - New Zealand & China and also Norway with 0 points in the second song voting! We've never had a single zero point song in the DOSC history to this date and now even three countries managed to score 0 points (the only time one country received 0 before was in the special DOSC Season ESC 2021 which was a special season that happened in April 2021).
