Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2022

[dezbee2008 814]

Congrats to @Bohemia and @Benolympique on your win. Your song made it past my first round and then I kinda forgot about it afterwards.

 

And look at that, we made it to 8th without winning a single medal. Unless that's a record, we would like to claim it. @Olympian1010

 

And thanks to everyone who gave the US points:

 

12 -- lol none

11 -- lol none

10 -- lol none

9 --  @IoNuTzZ @Federer91 @dcro @catgamer

8 --  @kungshamra71 @maestro @Makedonas @Yannakis

7 --  @Ruslan

6 --  @thepharoah @Cobi @Ionoutz24

5 --  @Hipooo @Glen @Werloc

4 --  @Dragon @Quasit

3 --  @Dnl @Vic Liu @heywoodu

2 --  @ManuCHIL @intoronto @Illya

1 --  @Bohemia @Benolympique @dophuquy

 

The theme was songs released between 2008-2010 so we made a list, then we shortlisted 3 of them, with Jordin winning it all. I came to know about Jordin during her American Idol days, so that was a factor (at least for me) in our decision

 

I may have an idea for what we can send in 2023, but I probably won't make that list in haste until next year

Replace Justin Bieber with Khalid, get the same result

 

This time for only 3% of your victory

 

Final offer.

Okay, but you split that 3% with Canada. We'll keep the other 97%

Not part of the original deal.

 

I might be sleep deprived, but I ain't gonna get scammed out of my hard earned 3%

It’s been a long day, we’ve all been there  

 

I’d love to be in charge of the American selection though and the GB one as well. I would have so much fun coming up with the long lists and short lists and still having stacks left over for future editions

I offer my congratulations to @Benolympique and @Bohemia on their win for France and to @Belle and @heywoodu on their medals for Sweden and the Netherlands respectively.

 

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for Greece, I'm delighted you liked our song. A top five finish is a dream result for us, hopefully we can improve it further in the future and one day earn a podium finish. I think that's definitely our next goal.

 

Adding to this impressive result, we also earned a bronze medal in the team event. I congratulate all our teammates in Brno Swans who contributed to this, @heywoodu, @Dragon, @Quasit and @Federer91. We couldn't have achieved this without your help.

 

And of course, a huge thank you to @Hipooo, who had the demanding task to host and managed to offer us an excellent contest. 

 

 

Time to reveal my votes, after some observations.

 

I can say this is the third TISC I'm taking part and I kept my perfect record in voting for the winning song. However, this is the first time I gave my 12 points to the winner. In the previous contests, I awarded fewer points and the songs didn't earn enough points to eventually score anything from Greece.

 

Eight countries from those I voted made it to our top 12, including every country in my first seven. Four of them, France, Canada, USA and Indonesia made it in the exact place I had them. Off note, after voting, I had to break a tie between USA and Indonesia. I had them seperated just by one point and it turned out the tie was for 5th place, exactly where I had placed the USA.

 

 

1st	12 pts	France
2nd	11 pts	Canada
3rd	10 pts	Ireland
4th	9 pts	China
5th	8 pts	USA
6th	7 pts	Indonesia
7th	6 pts	Germany
8th	5 pts	Romania
9th	4 pts	Vietnam
10th	3 pts	Chile
11th	2 pts	Hungary
12th	1 pts	Denmark
Res1		Lithuania
Res2		India
Res3		New Zealand

 

 

I hope to see everyone again in Spain, in a few months.
