Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended  

Bumping the thread so people are reminded. By the looks of the voting i think an extension would be required. Maybe till Sunday, or even next week.

Is there a playlist in which we can listen all songs like in the last editions? 

Good luck! Time to listen to each song.

Best of luck to everyone, a lot of great entries!

I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members
 
For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL.
 
All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also.
 
I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish
 
 
Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries .

Serbia is in!!  

Hello guys
 @OlympicIRLis it to late for Serbia to take a part? 
 
If answer is yes, our entry will be: 
 
Željko Joksimović - Ela dose

Thanks for resubmitting a new entry and welcome to the contest again  

Türkiye is in again.
 
The name of group is Duman.
And the song is Kufi.
Good nights!!
Lyrics:
Elleri havada
Kufi kafada
Şeker ezer aynada
Aynı ayran gibi temiz, kafası leziz
Yürüyorlar saraya, saraya
 
Ben bu gezegene inemedim abi
Gökyüzü masmavi
Yıldızlar daha iyi
Bu yıldızlar daha iyi
 
Üsküdar’ı yine geçemedik abi
Bu atlar çok hain 
Eşekler daha iyi
Bu eşekler daha iyi.
Biz bu kafalara gelemedik abi
Bu gösteri kallavi
Aktörleri daha iyi
Bu aktroller daha iyi
 
Kargaları yine kovamadık abi
Korkuluk çok enayi
Kuşlar şeytani 
Bu kuşlar şeytani
 
Elleri havada
Kufi kafada
Şeker ezer aynada
Aynı ayran gibi temiz, kafası leziz
Yürüyorlar saraya, saraya
 
Lyrics in English:
His hands are in the air
Kufi's head
Crushes sugar in the mirror
Just like buttermilk, his head is delicious
They're walking to the palace, to the palace
 
I couldn't land on this planet, man
The sky is blue
The stars are better
These stars are better
 
We couldn't pass Üsküdar again, man
These horses are so treacherous
The donkeys are better
These donkeys are better.
We couldn't get to these heads, man
This show is terrible
The actors are better
These actors are better
 
We couldn't chase the crows away again, man
The scarecrow is such a sucker
The birds are evil
These birds are evil
 
His hands are in the air
Kufi's head
Crushes sugar in the mirror
Just like buttermilk, his head is delicious
They're walking to the palace, to the palace
 
 
 

Türkiye is in.
 
Here you'll listen a new version of a 60 years popular song that is played by the group Adamlar last year. İn this song you can hear different turkish classical melodic transitions. Enjoy!

@Fly_like_a_don and @Roamingrover86 have both nominated different entries for India. I have opened a private message with you both. Can you please work together to decide on the Indian entry before tonight's deadline?
 
Thanks so much

@Roamingrover86 has submitted an entry for India by private message which I will reserve as the Indian entry for now until I hear otherwise before the deadline. Once the deadline passes and if we have not heard from @Fly_like_a_don then I will go ahead and post the entry that has been reserved.
 
It means all registered nations have now submitted a song . Still 24 hours left if any other nation wants to surprise us with a last minute appearance  
 
 

Yes of course! @Fly_like_a_don also expressed interest so you may have to work together to decide on what song you want to represent India. Send him a private message so you can work on ideas together.
 
However, in case he doesn’t show up before the deadline on Saturday, please send me your own preferred song for India by private message and if @Fly_like_a_don does not respond to you before the deadline, then I will submit that as the Indian song  

Playing in Istanbul with full stadium it's the worst we could get. If somehow we will qualify in the play-off final we we'll play Slovakia or Kosovo. Honestly, I prefer to lose in Istanbul than to play against Kosovo again.

Te vi por la calle caminando haciendo un zigzag, wow                                                               
Suena "baum-baum-baum", escuché tu corazón

Me gusta cómo oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Combinamos tu boca con mi gloss Cuando tú estás conmigo, todo me gusta

Tú sabes que hoy te cuido, y te lo repito
Conmigo yo te necesito Me gusta

When you’re with me, I like everything 
Sometimes I get dizzy and that freaks me out
You know I’ll take care of you today, and I’ll say it again
With me, I need you
My love (my love), what I’d give (what I’d give)
To wake up next to you every day (every day)
What an irony (what an irony), I came (I came)
To tell you how much I cared
So sweet like a Tic Tac, good like a six-pack
You’re walking down the street, zigzagging, wow
It goes boom-boom-boom, I heard your heart
I like you more than a cat likes a mouse
When you’re with me, I like everything
Sometimes I get dizzy and that freaks me out
You know I’ll take care of you today, and I’ll say it again
With me, I need you
I like it
I like it
I like it
I like it
I love you so much I don’t even think of myself
I want every part of you so much
I love you so much and I can’t hide it
Being with you, I like it
I like how oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I want to do what’s already tradition
I like how oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We mix your lips with my gloss
When you’re with me, I like everything
Sometimes I get dizzy and that freaks me out
You know I’ll take care of you today, and I’ll say it again
With me, I need you
I like it
I like it
I like it
I like it
I like how oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I like it
I like how oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I like it
