OlympicIRL 5,532 Posted October 8, 2017 #252 Share Posted October 8, 2017 After much deliberation the Irish National Selection process is now complete. I have chosen the alternative rock group The Stunning to represent Ireland in Tunisia for this year's edition of TISC Open. Perhaps little known outside Ireland, The Stunning were formed in Galway in 1987 before initially splitting up in 1994. Brothers Joe and Steve Wall would later go on to form another band, The Walls, in 1998 before The Stunning reformed once again in 2003. I have gone back to 1990 however to find the song that will represent us in TISC Open 2017 this year. The sixth release from their album, Paradise in the Picturehouse, the song did not even enter the Irish charts upon release but nonetheless the Irish selection committee is very proud to present to you Brewing Up A Storm, hope you enjoy IRELAND The Stunning - Brewing Up A Storm Brewing Up A Storm: Honey if the truth hurts don't look it might go away It's easy to pretend that life is a rosy bouquet I don't need a platter, I'll take it straight from the shelf Give it to me raw, I'll take it home and cook it myself Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild and it can't go on Brewing up a storm Can't afford to lose touch, can't afford to lose control The doors are open wide and the wind blows a bitter cold Man holds a mystery, someone holds the key It's a shame they're the same, the answer doesn't have to be Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild and it can't go on Brewing up a storm Fire in his eyes, in his head, fire in his touch But I can't shout fire 'cos I love you too much The race is on, the message is in your soul As a thousand thoughts a second now explode Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild and it can't go on Brewing up a storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes? Great! But do you like sports as well?" Long story short, people didn't really take the bait konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titicow 39 Posted October 9, 2017 #256 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Brazil We chose an old song from a famous brazilian pop singer. His songs are usually the soundtrack of soap operas and are among the most played on the radio. Although his current songs are mostly in Portuguese, he began his career as a singer and songwriter with songs in english such as this. Tiago Iorc - Nothing But a Song Lyrics I read your mind a thousand timesExempt myself from alibisSurrender to me softlyYou're trying to find a different side on meYou see this lifeAs nothing but a song without no rhymeHum dap dararahHum dap dararah ohDevote myself with compromiseSelfishly lying, giving bad adviceSurrender to me once againYou're trying to find a boy inside a manYou ask me whyWe suffocate our lives beneath the skyHum dap dararahHum dap dararah ohMaybe we're losing all reason in our silly fightsMaybe this time it'll seem rightI wanna tell you about The day we first met andHow I feel when you're holding me tightOh, And how you've changed my lifeHum dap dararahHum dap dardrah oh vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, people didn't really take the bait I agree, and I think in the future we should at least think about adding a rule which would allow only "real" users to take part in the contest. With "real" I mean users who are registered on the forum by at least X days/weeks or with at least X posts around the forum. We could even find users from Cook Islands or San Marino if it's just to register and post a song from their nation, but I don't think that's the aim of the contest and it is better to have some countries less but with all real users rather than having nations represented just by an user who registered, posted the song and never came back on the forum (and it would be even worst if one of them win the contest one day). I think reminders to users are great because some users are away from the forum for some periods, contacing active users who still have not registered for the contest is ok too, but to find new users from nations not represented just to increase the number might be dangerous because there is no point in bringing users who are not interested in Totallympics at all but just come here for the contest. It should be the other way around, when the forum grows and has more nations represented around the whole forum, automatically more nations will be represented in the TISC. I don't want to enter into the organization of the TISC but it is just a suggestion for those of you who organize mrv86, Henry_Leon, Werloc and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to enter into the organization of the TISC but it is just a suggestion for those of you who organize Yes, that's my point exactly. As much fun as TISC is, this is still first hand a sports forum and we shouldn't forget that. As for sending reminders and such, I'm definitely guilty of this one, because I've tried to bring back people to the contest that used to participate a lot (even before the Totallympics website move), because I did not want them to miss out on the event. As for inviting new users to the forum, I'm always making sure they know where they're going, but unfortunately, I haven't found a single one throughout the years (I only have 1 close friend that's interested in sports and he's been a member on Totallympics here before, a very funny story on how I've met him ) Finally, regarding all of the new users that had their first post registering to this contest, it is a clear sign that they know what they're going and where they're going and I believe they were informed about this contest on some other platform and hopefully they're participation in the forum activities does not end up being limited to TISC only. When I first set foot on Totallympics (You left a comment & link of it in the comment section of some sports article), I was pretty much overwhelmed, I didn't really know where to start, there was no such thing as TISC, not even any Eurovision discussions were started, mostly sports results & discussions. I don't really remember how well I assimilated into Totallympics, (I remember that I didn't post a lot, because I didn't really know what to say, perhaps it was the prediction contests that helped me find myself here) I only remember it being a long process, before I was able to freely discuss on the topics that I cared about. Comparing it to my experience and seeing that they're posts don't extend outside of the TISC thread is pretty much a good indication to me what is the main priority of these users.
