Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2024

[Olympian1010 7,479]

This is also, by a considerable margin, the shortest TISC thread since the rebirth of Totallympics 

 

It's a shame becuase this was so well organized by @Henry_Leon

Congratulation Italy on the win! I liked the song, so I am happy with the win!  And thank you @Henry_Leon and the rest of Italian jury for organizing the event and sharing a bit of Italian culture, music and places! I will be spending around 10 days in Italy this May so already have a good playlist of Italian music to help me improve my Italian 

 

Congratulation @Belle on the third place, and team gold

 

Ciao, ciao!

We are a golden team. 

 

Thank you for an amazing placement. Keep this up and you will win soon.

Thank you @Werloc, I’m really shocked to be in your top 12.

Well, I remember the horns at the start didn't give me huge hopes, but the topline when the woman vocalist joins in, just carries this song to a different level and that's how it climbed up to 5th.

Congrats Italy, and of course New Zealand and Sweden 

Thank you @Henry_Leon, you were an amazing host!

 

Thank you everyone who voted for our song, I didn't think we'd place that high so this is a great result!

The scoring of "What Was I Made For?" is very interesting to me. People either liked it a lot, or not at all it seems. I wasn't sure how it would play. Now I don't know how much insight I can glean from this from future contests.

I gave up on trying to logically understand anything here  

 

There are two disco songs in this edition. One is trying to win the contest, the other is on the second half of the table  

 

There was never any correlation in anything.

Thank you, I know you to like most of my entries 

 

Lithuania on the other hand has hardly given points to Mexico, one of the few exceptions being the edition where they actually had Ximena Sariñana and Different as their top pick.

Well, this is the sixth time that I score Mexico. I guess it's a pretty good indication that I don't play favourites or favour any country in particular and I try to recognise a good product in most genres. It's always a mix of vocals, melody, production and lyrics for me. And as I'm diving deeper and exploring the world of producing now too, I started paying even more attention to more miniscule details, like vocal effects, specific sounds of percussions, mix & master etc.

Probably just a sign of the times, people don't interact as much as they used to. The same happened with last year's Totallympics Awards, which had much fewer comments compared to the previous edition.

It's done and dusted now, congratulations to the winners and medalists.

 

Thank you for voting for Eley, it's always nice to see that someone liked it with some medals as well. I had a really tough time deciding what to send, because Lithuanian music lately is just on a different level  

 

There's a lot that I wanted to show, but ultimately I decided that it would be fun to go with "Rock My Body". Me and my bff had a really good time working on this song together with Eglė (the vocalist). On Monday we're meeting in the studio to work on her newest song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago. It has some reaggeton and Spanish undertones, but perhaps the producer will decide to switch it up.

Surely I can't be the only one who thought that Karla Grunewaldt is like seeing Merida from Brave in real life?
