Kuwaiti Sound 1

Kuwaiti Sound 1 was the first edition of Kuwaiti Sound. It took place on 5 March 2020 to select the Kuwaiti entry for Own Asiavision Song Contest 23.

Returning Artists
Since this was the first edition of the contest, no artist was technically returning. However Caroul Souki, who previously participated in the 17th edition of OASC, entered the contest.

Results
Out of all the 8 songs competing, 4 were in Arabic and the other 4 in English. Coincidentally, all the Arabic entries finished in the bottom 4 while the top 4 was made up of all the English entries. Ghaneema's win made it the 3rd time a female represented Kuwait. The gap between first and second place was just 1 point, the smallest yet.

Voting issues
There were numerous technical issues experienced during the voting period and this is thought to be the reason for the small number of votes. New Caledonia were unable to submit their votes the correct way and an alternative solution had to be found. The jury of Taiwan also had this problem because after 5 juries had voted the whole voting system crashed.
