Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2020

Voted. This edition is quite strong, and it's sad I had to leave out some countries, but it is what it is

Has anyone heard from @Wanderer? He hasn't been online much lately.

@dcro I’ll have my votes in by Noon PCT (my time). I don’t know if that’s over the time limit, but I just wanted to make sure votes will get counted . I have my songs scored, but I want to go through and scrutinize them one last time tomorrow morning.

An interesting observation: for me the average quality this time is considerably higher than usual, but there isn't really anything that really shoots to the top of the list for me. On the other hand, there's also not really anything that really goes down the drain immediately. Usually there are at least a couple of songs that go to the top and some that go down the drain without needed a second listen.

 

To put it into a sports perspective: it's like normally there are two or three guys who go 9.7 in the 100m and a few who go 11+ seconds, with an average of 10.1 or so. Now the average is more like 9.9 but nobody really gets close to either 9.7 or 11+

I've been busy all weekend, haven't been able to listen to the songs.

How much time do I have left?

Officially just over 13 hours, but I will probably extend the deadline to Tuesday.

Case in point (I tend to give notes from minimum of 1 to maximum of 10, like we do in schools  ).

Well, it's not that difficult for me, I needed only one listening to eliminate 18 songs  I will surely vote before deadline, only difficult thing about which I must decided is which song will be on my first place, currently there is five candidates

i totally agree with you in this.

[heywoodu 15,145]

Well crap. I'm in the part where I put the songs in their final positions...I've relistened three of my 13 top songs so far and have switched their positions around ten times already  

 

I don't know!
