  4. My personal votes and thoughts - - 12 (One of the clearest winner picks for me. Great vocals, visuals, arrangement. Plus, the Maori segments are beautiful. @Wanderer) - 11 (This was the only other song considered for my 12 points. It caught my attention quickly as well. It stood out from everything else, and the lyrics were interesting @Vektor) - 10 (I think we might have some overlapping taste @Vic Liu. I liked the "throwback" nature of this song, and the lyrics/video were fun.) - 9 (Just a fun, catchy, lively song. A nice ode to one's homeland @kungshamra71) - 8 (I like the risk you took with this @hckošice. It has a great message and stood out from many of the other entires.) - 7 (This is similar to some music I listen to more frequently. There was just something about it that keep me thinking about it @Wumo) - 6 (A nice dance/party track. It got points for the integration of Maltese @Glen) - 5 (Eley has a really good vocal. The song is a great pop track @Werloc) - 4 (Retro in a way that was fun and stuck out @Henry_Leon @Gianlu33 @Pablita) - 3 (Definitely an artist with a lot of promise @Hipooo) - 2 (This originally feel outside my points, but creeped it's way back in. The vocal is nice and lyrics are interesting enough @Benolympique @Bohemia) - 1 (This got me to move, and it was fun, so finally some points for you @konig) - R1 (Catchy, but just under the line for points @mrv86) - R2 (This almost snuck into the points. I'll be interested to see how she does at Eurovision @NikolaB) - R3 (Great vocal, a nice country vibe. I just couldn't find room for it in my points @Fer GUA) - R4 (I couldn't find the translated lyrics, and that hurt your chances for points @justony. The song was interesting, but I couldn't undertsand the message.)

  6. Apologies to @Henry_Leon for not being there yesterday for the show. I was traveling home from my vacation and was only able to get caught up now. What an amazing show it was.

  7. Now that it's all over, I'd like to offer my congratulations to @Gianlu33,@Henry_Leon, @Pablita, @SteveParker on their win , but also to @Wandererand @Belle on their medals . Extending my congratulations to @Henry_Leon, who run the contest smoothly throughout and hosted a great show this weekend . Thank you to those who voted for our song, @Roamingrover86, @OlympicIRL, @Wumo, @IoNuTzZ, @Wanderer, @vinipereira . Unfortunately my song choice proved to be completely unsuccessful and the result is rather awful, but it is what it is. We can only aim at better results from here. A huge thank you to our teammates @Belle, @Wanderer, @NikolaB, @Ionoutz24 . You gifted us the team event gold, as I think our song contributed just 7 points out of the 466. Below you can see my personal ballot. 1st 12 pts Netherlands 2nd 11 pts Spain 3rd 10 pts Indonesia 4th 9 pts Ireland 5th 8 pts United States 6th 7 pts Chile 7th 6 pts France 8th 5 pts Croatia 9th 4 pts India 10th 3 pts Portugal 11th 2 pts Brazil 12th 1 pts Czechia Res1 Great Britain Res2 New Zealand Res3 Sweden As a general comment, we were two jury members this time, however we voted 22 different songs. Brazil and Portugal were the only songs that got points from both of us. This was my 6th TISC. I haven't voted for the winning song twice and both times it was Italy. This was the first time that I didn't give points to any of the eventual medallists. New Zealand and Sweden were both among my reserves. I have never been as sure that a song is going to win, as I was with the Dutch entry this time. I'm very surprised it only got 10th place. As a whole, this was another fun experience and the fight for gold was thoroughly enjoyable. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again in the next open contest this autumn!

  9. Hello all! I'm Book. A long time fan of the Olympics but only recently started lurking on this forum, looking for qualification updates. Thought I'd pop in and start talking now, seems like a fun crowd. I'm from the US, born in Los Angeles and spent most of my life in Oregon, now living in Massachusetts. My first memories of sports was at a rec center built as part of a parks initiative of the 1984 games. After getting the Olympic bug in 2008 I convinced my parents to drive me up to Vancouver in 2010 where we stayed in Canada just long enough to see the first two heats of 2 man bobsleigh. I was luckily able to get some tickets to Football, Athletics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and Modern Pentathlon for Paris, so my Olympic hype is at an all time high right now. Looking for some sport climbing tickets still. On the forum I hope to be a resident expert on US Track and Field trials and LA 2028 planning, anything Olympics on the US west coast I'll chat to anyone about.

  15. Finally have the time to react to this contest. Thanks again to all those who gave points to Portugal, i'm always happy to share a bit of my land's music to you and the fact that some of you liked a song from my hometown is even better! Also I wonder if the 15th place is some top record for Portugal? In any case, congrats to Italy for the win, although it was not one of my favorite songs at all (it was 22 on my top list) but i have a peculiar musical taste Some comments about the points i gave: - 12 Loved the melody and i like chinese language in songs so this as a topper to me - 11 I found out about Jain thanks to TISC many years ago, and i became a fan thanks to that. I stopped following her songs some time ago so when i heard her voice and learned she had this new stuff, i knew this was gonna be one of my top 3. - 10 Such a powerful sound! - 9 The type of spanish music i like. It gave me so much vibes from early 2000s spanish music, which brings many happy memories from my teenage years there. - 8 This traditional songs are always gonna get points from me, 100% - 7 I could see this one in Eurovision - 6 As more as I hear this one, the better it gets. One of my favorites right now actually - 5 , - 4, Nothing to say about this ones, just sounded nice - 3 , Don't find it particularly special but the message of the lyrics is really great so had to have points - 2 Nothing to say again, just sounded nice - 1 I love this song, the artist, and the amazing message it gaves (just like the movie), but I usually try to never give any points to famous singers/songs, unless they are so good that it is impossible for me to do so, which is why I had reserved my "1 point" to this one. I really liked this edition though! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks to everyone who shared with all of us a bit of your country's music!

  18. a bit off topic, but had to mention it... Regardless of this result, I am still the most happy guy on this forum tonight since my HC Košice just kicked out the hated arch-rival Slovan Bratislava express-pronto in 4 games 4-0 in the Ice Hockey league Quarterfinal play-offs So that´s for that and now back to TISC and exciting 34th place

  37. TAISC 2024 - Opening Ceremony TEATRO ALLA SCALA March 22nd, 2024 h. 17:00 GMT (18:00 Local Time) Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2024 ----------------------------------- Opening Ceremony ----------------------------------- Special Guest: La Rappresentante di Lista (Veronica Lucchesi & Dario Mangiaracina) TAISC 2023 Winner ----------------------------------- Participant Nations Parade Competitors' Oath Follow Live the Grand Final * Saturday 23rd March * 9:30 GMT Teatro alla Scala The Teatro alla Scala was founded, under the auspices of the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, to replace the Royal Ducal Theatre, which was destroyed by fire on February 1776 and had until then been the home of opera in Milan. The cost of building the new theatre was borne by the owners of the boxes at the Ducal, in exchange for possession of the land on which stood the church of Santa Maria alla Scala (hence the name) and for renewed ownership of their boxes. Designed by neoclassical architect Giuseppe Piermarini, La Scala opened on 3 August 1778 with Antonio Salieri's opera L'Europa riconosciuta. The theatre is regarded as one of the leading opera and ballet theatres globally. The theater complex is home to the La Scala Theatre Chorus, La Scala Theatre Ballet, La Scala Theatre Orchestra, and the Filarmonica della Scala orchestra and is located in the square of the same name, next to the Casino Ricordi, home to the Scala Theater Museum. The original structure was renovated in 1907 when it was given its current layout. In 1943, during World War II, La Scala was severely damaged by bombing. It was rebuilt and reopened on 11 May 1946. The theatre underwent a major renovation from early 2002 to late 2004. The Milan City Council approved the project by the architect Mario Botta for the restoration. The opera house re-opened on 7 December 2004 with a production, conducted by Riccardo Muti, of Salieri's Europa riconosciuta, the the same opera performed at La Scala's inauguration in 1778

    Hopefully one day (although sadly I doubt it) this will be the normal situation: simply living their regular life like anyone else, without excplicitly 'having' (according to society) to announce them being anything else than straight. Not sure if I'm wording this exactly how I mean it, so just to be clear: what I mean is that I hope one day (which sadly doesn't seem to be close) being gay, bi or anything is considered just as normal by society as being straight, and it's not a matter of 'if you don't explicitly come out, you must be straight' anymore.

  39. I missed most part of TAISC 2024 due to work commitments. But i liked the overall quality of the songs entered this time. Unfortunately the song I entered didn’t score so well. I am still trying to figure out the type of song that would score well. I generally tend to score a song automatically more if the artist sang the song in his/her local language as opposed to English (which is a foreign language for most) Finally, I must thank @Henry_Leon for hosting this edition so successfully & his passion for this event was visible in his effort. It takes a lot of time out of your personal schedule to host such an event. Congratulations to Team Italia on winning this edition. I must confess i liked your nomination for the open contest more than this one. But this was a worthy winner too. Looking forward to TISC (open) 2024
