My votes for TAISC 2019: 12 point 11 point 10 point 9 points 8 points 7 points 6 points 5 points 4 points 3 points 2 points 1 points RESERVES 1st Reserve 2nd Reserve 3rd Reserve 4th Reserve After the first listening, there was no doubt that was going to receive my 12 points. I love Within Temptation and enjoy many of their songs, mostly those who came out many years ago. Sharon den Adel, what a voice! The places from 2-4 were also pretty much set after the first listening. and are two very beautiful songs. Zsa Zsa is just so amazing. great lyrics and a really catchy melody, especially the chorus. It has been stuck in my head for months now. and have really grown on me. They started out in the bottom of my top 12, but they have since rised up to 5th and 6th place on my top 12. The atmosphere of song is something I really like. brings back nostalgia. It reminds me of my late teens when I used to listen to a lot of indie-inspired songs like this one. are songs who have something where I can't stop humming those parts. They were also never out of my top 12 at any point. All great songs. The rest, 11-12, reserves, and many more, were all good songs, in my opinion, and it was very difficult to only select two of them for my top 12. It ended up being and . started as a reserve, but grew on me and became my favourite of the "rest". was the first song that was revealed for this contest and I think that has played a big role why it ended up being in my top 12. "Iba raz", those two words are constantly in my head with the very catchy chorus this song has. A big thanks goes to the fantastic @mrv86 for hosting a great contest, even though there was some technical issues during the process. The Danish Jury has really enjoyed their stay in beautiful Dolores Hidalgo, a city that is truly Pueblo Mágico. Guadalajara was likewise a great experience. Though, one juror of the Danish Jury got a bit sunburned, but nothing to worry about.

Sorry Bestmen....

Congrats to @KingOfTheRhinos for leading Australia’s first appearance and first podium, and a late thank you for the points. I would like to thank all, of the very few, countries that gave the US song points. It was a rough year for the US jury, but we’ll bounce back for the open. I would once again like to apologize for my mistake in posting my votes during Croatia’s time @dcro. Of course it would be unfair to not congratulate @OlympicIRL and Ireland on a dominating win, Kodaline was already a band on my favorite playlist, so I found it hard to vibe with a song I didn’t think was their best (I gave it 8 points personally). I would again like to thank @Werloc for his original entry, I liked very much (I gave it 9 points personally). Only two songs made my top playlist from this version and that would Turkey (@Memo ) and Poland ( @Monzanator ) I though very were both technically brilliant, difficult to sing, and highly amazing songs. I would like to thank @mrv86 for hosting this contest. I will also congratulate the masters division winner @heywoodu on his silver medal and amazing time travel work at the end. Finally, one last shout-out to ( @Dolby ), India is officially the highest scoring country in my personal rankings in the two edition I’ve votes in (Lithuania is a close second).

Thank you everyone for the kind words and for everyone who voted for Kodaline. I can honestly say I did not expect this in a million years. Kodaline are my favourite Irish band of the last 5-6 years, and the fact you have shown so much support for them here makes this a very special win. Really mean that - thank you For @mrv86 thank you for all your efforts and for an amazing show. Everything looked beautiful and all went like clockwork.... even some time-travel added in This was a huge task to take on so we owe you a lot for the great day we spent here. Have a well deserved breather now and much rest And all those who added in the extra like the medal tables, team standings updates, and added the extra stats and commentary to keep everyone informed and make things more enjoyable - you know who you are. And thanks to everyone who participated. As always, it's nice getting to know you all a little better. I believe Séamus has put some money behind the bar so feel free to join in the celebrations Just thank you again, I love you all

Anže Kopitar having some fun..

I had given 12 points to Poland but they were not enough to be in the top 12 of the whole jury. The vote of an Italian user is not worth much now, but at least I'm glad I managed to help New Zealand, Brazil and Netherlands to gain one or more positions.

Finally caught up with this thread lol Though it's not among our best efforts, as @Olympian1010 said earlier, we'll bounce back for the open (we do much better in the open contest anyways lol), but I want to congratulate @OlympicIRL for his win, by far my favorite song in this edition and it always makes me happy to see my 12 pointer win, even if my own entry fails (and now I need to know how many of my 12 pointers have gone on to win the contest because I believe that's an exclusive club right there lol) Also, my thanks to several of you who gave us points, especially to @Memo and @KingOfTheRhinos for the 12 points, because honestly, I was worried that goal wouldn't be reached (and it was reached 11/12 contests or something like that), and I'll also add @Function CR Lee @stefanbg @Finnator123 @vinipereira @titicow @Damian to the list of those that had our back. Also, I send congrats to @mrv86 for hosting this contest, though it wasn't easy, especially when you had internet problems, which is always the worst thing that can happen to the host jury, but you stuck it out in the end and made it all possible, and having hosted the last open contest, I could sympathize what you had to go through to make it work. Also, congrats to @heywoodu and @KingOfTheRhinos for your 2nd and 3rd places. Both of you made to my second listen, but Australia made it to my reserves and Netherlands, unfortunately, missed out on it Finally, my personal votes from the US east coast (since I saw while going through the pages that @Olympian1010 made a comment about being on the west coast) 12 -- Ireland 11 -- India 10 -- China 9 -- Bulgaria 8 -- Greece 7 -- Norway 6 -- Germany 5 -- Colombia 4 -- Chile 3 -- Romania 2 -- Spain 1 -- Great Britain R1 -- Mexico R2 -- Algeria R3 -- Australia R4 -- Lithuania Yeah, funny how my top 2 is also the combined top 2

thx for the news , i'm going to fixe my predictions

Amazing show and a great victory for Ireland! Thanks @mrv86 for the contest and thanks again to everyone who joined the competion!

yes, they are rather impressive, I must admit, In other hand Russia doesn´t look very promising at all, only Ovechkin scored yesterday their only goal, in fact the true is that in the two games with SWE and FIN they were outplayed. but again it´s only the practice session, the results are not so important at all, everything will count only from this Friday.

LOL , all the songs he picks are singers without real voices except ' the corrs' as i said ;they use the robotic arrangement into the studio ,when you listen them in live you'll not stop laughting the right version is : the level of the contest is low

I’m currently updating my channels, so Totallympics TV will rebranded and restarted, please be patient

Anyways, I don't know in which page this message will end up, but just wanted to say that I'm happy with the result for Lithuania. I remember five years ago when I entered this competition, I was just a kid and the song was just a simple piano track with me and my friend doing the vocals. That time I think I was very close to last place with 12 points or something. This time Lithuania's in the first half and got some high points from multiple juries with which I'm very happy and thankful. At the end of the day, I'm aiming for my music to be listened to outside of Lithuania, so this competition is an indication that it's possible for me to find those listeners out of my comfort zone. Even though I planned to enter with a different song, but it got stuck in production, I'm happy that this song got a chance too. So thanks to everyone that voted and to everyone that listened. Congrats @OlympicIRL with another commanding win. And congrats to everyone else that feel that they've accomplished what they set out to do in TISC 2019

Congratulations @OlympicIRL

First ever points from Denmark. Thank you for discovering Totallympics @wumo26

@phelps , there was also a controversial call made in OT, that led to the golden goal by Nenonen. Heponiemi basically got 2+2 because one HPK player apparently hit one of his teammates. At least Kärpät fans are saying like this

Thank you to everyone who liked Finland entry & gave points! Erittäin paljon kiitoksia!

your complaints are similar, it's boring
