But first you need to win another silver..... you won 2 bronze, and now you have 1 silver.... you need another silver and then you can go for a double gold. Symmetry is very important

 

Great, we just won next year's open and the 2020 annual. Thanks a lot

Kudos to @dezbee2008 for waking up at 5 AM and keeping everything in place for a nice contest. Also thanks to everyone who joined the thread today, at least for one bit.

 

Congratulations to medalist @Agger @wumo26 @dezbee2008 @Olympian1010 @OlympicIRL once again, and also everyone who scored various team medals. have won their first ever TISC medals, so special congrats to them.

 

Also, once again, thanks to everyone who awarded us points. A total of 37 for 30th place. At least it's not the worst ever result.

Meh, that isn't an issue. We vote Slovakia a lot last few contests and their language is completely alien to me. It's just that hckosice picks catchy songs (from my point of view).

Yes, you say that, but then there's quotes such as this " More disappointing is that we only got 1 point between Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Brazil. Was not expecting that if I'm honest. "

 

It's not that I am strictly blaming anything, I just said that our language is not culturally familiar or impactful to possibly have the same impact as songs that are culturally familiar. Sure, it doesn't look like a huge game changer when it comes to the high points that catchy songs get, but there is a certain effect that lingers between lower points and that is perfectly understandable, because it's the culture that you grew up with and you're more inclined to be moved by certain songs or feel a certain connection to them. There's nothing in here saying that you can't enjoy unfamiliar songs, especially if they're good, but we're also not surprised when Tunisia likes Turkey, when the spanish/portuguese speaking nations appreciate the languages that are familiar to their ear and so on, so on. Seeing as you've expected more from these certain countries, it's giving my point some validity.

Those were just my expectations before the contest but reality was otherwise. We received far more votes from others.

Look, I just shared my thoughts why, in my opinion, most songs in Lithuanian finished in the 30s and actually even said that I am glad to be proven wrong this year.

This is the first time ever that I didn't award points to Denmark. I knew something is rotten there. Guess what, they won 

Congratulation Denmark, happy fkr Agger. 

 

Thank you all who voted for NZ. Will check the thread over these days.

Thank you Dez for being a wonderful host. Also to new USA mwmber, Olympian1010.

 

Sad that Russia finished so low. Amazing and powerful song although it doesn't mean much to the people who haven't lived in the eastern block. Glad that Tsoi made appearance here
