Globalvision Season 1

The 1st season of the Globalvision Song Contest (also stylized as GV1 or Globalvision I) that strated on May 22nd, 2017, with the finale being held on June 24th. It was brought by the hands of @teenidle who remained as the host and on of the jury members of the game. The idea was taken from the Eurovision Song Contest which was held a few weeks before. As there was already a big fanbase of Eurovision established on GagaDaily it caught big attention instantly, so many contests followed due to the great reception of the game.

21 participants made it to final, 5 countries were disqualified or withdrew before it. Out of all these participants only 4 participated in every single contest to day (confirmed as of s23), those being: @Dutch, @surejan, @Bloody Grammys and @Glittertinks, the last one being the only participant to remain with her original country for 15 consecutive seasons.

The winner was @Dutch who represented Belgium with Loïc Nottet and his song "Million Eyes".

Final
The final took place on June 24, 2017. Initially there were 26 countries participating in the first contest, Canada, Turkey, Serbia, United States and Brazil, withdrew or were disqualified before the final, lowering the number of participants to 21. As it was the first season, no one expected that a few participants wouldn't send their votes on time, so there were no replacement countries to the top 10s, meaning that the votes for the disqualified countries remained counted without having the votes of those countries. Currently, when a country gets disqualified, the points are corrected so the next countries get a bigger number of points and a replacement country gets in the top 10 of the voter. If the current system was applied, there would have been many changes in the results, but also as there were no replacements, many points would have been missed, so that's why the disqualified countries remain in the scoreboard (marked in red), but their points don't count in the official results.

Uniqueness award
For the full list of recipients of the award, see Uniqueness Award As this award was introduced during season 8, it was decided three seasons later to vote on the past seasons so every season would have a recipient of this award. The award for this season was voted from the 23rd of April 2019 until the 30th of April with the winner being announced on the 1st of May. It was won by Amália Rodrigues with her song "Gaivota", who represented Portugal. The participant that chose this entry was @Sharpay this being his first Uniqueness Award. The song received 33% of the votes.

Other participants
@Florian, @alp0707, @Phoenix, @StarryNight and @Bio were all meant to participate in first place, some of them withdrew before sending a song, others got disqualified because they didn't send their votes on time. Eventually, two of them made their official debuts in later seasons, @Phoenix in season 2 and @Florian in season 4.

Kosovo
The participation of Kosovo in the contest brought some controversies, specially from @StarryNight who was going to represent Serbia. He defended that Kosovo was not a country and according to the rules that the host, @teenidle, posted "no fictional countries are allowed to participate"; something he claimed to had been broken with the participation of this land. As Kosovo already worked by then as a de facto country with partial recognition in the world, it was granted permission to participate. That caused the withdrawal of @StarryNight from the competition and Serbia would eventually debut in season 4 by the hands of a different participant. So far, this was the last time Kosovo participated as it withdrew in the 2nd season.
