Season 15

General Information
The fifteenth Season of the Doubled Song Contest took place in Miami, United States after Soulex & BANKS won Season 14 with their songs "Kissing On My Jeweler" and "Trainwreck". The Slogan of this Season was "Cooler Than Ever", referring to the winning song by Soulex. This time we've had one big grand final that took place on the 22nd of October 2021 in which 26 countries were fighting for the trophy of the fifteenth edition! Originally it was planned & announced that in total 28 countries will compete in Miami as in the last two editions but Estonia & Norway decided to withdraw shortly before the show started. The Hosts of this Season was an iconic duo and entertained the whole audience really really well - whistling queen Ariana Grande together with her bestie - Miss Nicki Minaj.

And once again the reminder: 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 💞 BUT! As announced in last season - we're back to the original intention of DOSC which means that the rule with two songs performed by the same artist is back again and will stay at least for a couple of editions. On the other side we've decided that the overused rule is not coming back regulary AFTER THIS SEASON which means that all entries will get accepted as long as they fit the rules of the season. It isn't impossible that it's coming back for a season but it will not be the normal case anymore - to avoid weak editions and annoyed & sad juries after the submissions or even after seeing other entries getting allowed.

In Season 15 the following Mystery Countries were participating: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Iran, Jamaica, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea and obviously United States! The rule of max. 8 Mystery Countries is still existing but due to the win of United States in the last season, we've not officially counted it as a Mystery Country in this edition as it was directly given to the winning jury for this season.

As usual we've also had some returnees in Season 15: Arilena Ara for Albania (as in Season 4), Kim Petras for Germany (as in Season 7 & Season 10), AIDAN for Malta (as in Season 5) and Pabllo Vittar for Brazil in Song 2 (as in their debut in Season 8). Moreover: BANKS, the reigning winner to this time supported TĀLĀ with her Song 1 entry for Iran and last but not least: Marina, who tried to bring it home for Greece this time and actually placed 5th - getting not only her best result but also Greece's best result in DOSC so far, after competing in Season 2 & Season 9 for Wales.

But one returnee didn't appear in the list above yet. Bolshiee already tried to win the Doubled Song Contest in Season 12 but only managed to place 12th with her songs "Dance In The Rain" & "Maniac", after getting the 4th place in the Semi-Finals. This time she teamed up with the amazing Ganyos and competed for Luxembourg once again and finally took the win home with the songs "Signal" and "Rivers Run Red", with a total of 230 points. They won with a difference of 21 Points. It was the first victory of Luxembourg in the Doubled Song Contest, topping their best result from Season 8 in the DOSC where they came sixth place with CHAILD, who already showed his interest in hosting the upcoming season! The runner-up this season was Italy - represented by Against The Current with the songs "jump" and "that won't save us" with 209 points. Followed by to this days recent winner United States in 3rd place represented by UPSAHL who scored 200 points out of 26 juryvotes.

We're also very happy to welcome Argentina in the Doubled Song Contest. They debuted in this Season with 1915 and scored 119 Points, placing 13th. Right below Argentina was another debutant - Jamaica joined in this Edition! Zebra Katz scored a good 14th place with 106 Points.
