We are bringing back a couple of our favorite delegations to perform their post-TISC hits, so first up we have Meghan Trainor and her hit song "No"

 

 

Up next we have Zedd and Grey, but this time joined by Maren Morris with "The Middle"

 

 

Up next, we have the Backstreet Boys performing some of their greatest hits since their tour announcement.

 

 

Next up, we'll introduce you to a possible future TISC participant (spoiler alert?) who competed on America's Got Talent. Hailing here from Orlando, it's Mandy Harvey with her song Try

 

 

And finally, we have to honor Christina Grimmie in some way. She was our first participant in 2013 and got us to a good start with a 6th place finish before she was gunned down here in Orlando in 2016.

 

 

A day or so after she died, Orlando would experience a mass shooting at a nearby nightclub, so here's a tribute to the 49 souls lost that same weekend from legendary singer Elton John

If you were with us on Saturday, we had 4 contests running simultaneously throughout the day. Besides the main contest, we held a regional team challenge, a mixed music'thlon, and an all-around competition. So without further ado, let's hand out those awards.

 

First up, it's the regional team challenge, where all 35 countries were drawn to one of 7 regions.

 

Gold: Great Lakes -- :IRL:AUT:DEN:TUR:TUN @OlympicIRL @Gigs @Agger @Memo @amen09 @tuniscof

Silver: Atlantic -- :USA:BUL:FRA:SVK:COL yours truly + @Olympian1010 @stefanbg @Bohemia @Benolympique @hckosice @Damian

Bronze: Northeast -- :NZL:LTU:INA:NED:GBR @Wanderer @Werloc @Griff88 @heywoodu @uk12points

 

Next is the mixed music'thlon, which was actually a trial run, billed as more urban and more inclusive, which turned into a success. The side contest basically allowed me and fellow female jurors @Bohemia @DaniSRB and @Pablita to play with the boys.

 

Gold: Team Stunning -- :FRA:DEN @Bohemia @Benolympique @Agger

Silver: Team Cranberries -- :SRB:IRL @DaniSRB @dareza @OlympicIRL

Bronze: Team Roxette -- :USA:FIN yours truly + @Olympian1010 @Finnator123

 

Honorable mention to Team Jazzu -- :ITA:SVK @Pablita @Henry_Leon @SteveParker @Gianlu33 @hckosice

 

Finally, we have the all-around competition, where at least 30 countries who competed in the Jubilee and this contest had their points added up.

 

Gold: :USA

Silver: :DEN

Bronze: :IRL

This is the part where we look into the future and pass the baton to the next hosts, but since Italy threw a last-minute curveball and announced that they're dropping plans to host the 2019 Annual contest, I was told that we gotta send it off to someone, so @Agger  @wumo26 it's all yours.

As of now, the contest is closed, but the American delegation will like to thank you for coming down here to Orlando to brave the heat to participate in the contest. I'm sorry that you're leaving Florida knowing that we can't do elections right (yes, we're in recount mode here), but I think we can agree that this contest went flawlessly. Anyway, Team USA will figure out the next steps, but there's no doubt we will participate in all future contests.

Apparently, only one new TISC Record was set at this edition:

  • Highest ranking for an entry that did not receive a maximum 12-point score (Open): 4th – Great Britain (2018 Open)

 

Additionally, :ALG Algeria's score of 107 points and 3.15 are new African Continental Records. Now all Continental Records are set over 100 points and 3.00 PPJ.
