Asia Vision Our Sound 2009 The BlogThe first Fan Blog about Asiavision OurSound, the world’s biggest annual live music tv event.

OurSound – The Asia-Pacific Song Contest is deemed to become Asia’s biggest music entertainment programme ever. Finally will be launched in the second half of 2009, this was confirmed by Asiavision Pte. Ltd. in Singapore.

OurSound is an annual Asia-wide programme. Top artists from up to 16 Asian nations will compete for the honour of taking the OurSound title to their country. “OurSound is not another talent hunt. The participants are professional, established artist and celebrities. Together with guest performances from international superstars this will add to an extravaganza Asia has not seen before,” says Andreas Gerlach, CEO of Asiavision.

The Grand Final, scheduled for November 2009, will stretch over an entire weekend, starting with the Performance Show on Friday night and culminating in the Winners Show on Sunday night. The participating stars will be chosen in National Selections in each country by public vote. National Selections will start in July 2009.

“Asiavision is only initiating and financing the contest“, says Andreas Gerlach. „The most important decisions are made by our broadcasting partners in the markets and by the Asian  people. They decide who participates. They decide who wins. Thus the people of Asia may rightfully claim: This is our song contest. The winning song is our sound. Consequently we decided to call the programme OurSound instead of Asiavision Song Contest“, Andreas Gerlach explains.

Over the next years OurSound plans to increase the number of participants up to 33 countries. In the inaugural year the number of contestants will be limited to 15. While key markets are confirmed already, Asiavision has not yet made final decisions in others and is still in the conversations with potential channels.
