    If anyone is interested MEXFEST '24 in Spotify includes the songs I considered at one point for this edition.
     
    Would love to read some thoughts about it.

    I just comeback to home from domestic volleyball match between Projekt Warszawa and ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle and I must say that twice between points a winner of this TISC, Italodisco was played in background

    I missed most part of TAISC 2024 due to work commitments. But i liked the overall quality of the songs entered this time. 
    Unfortunately the song I entered didn’t score so well. I am still trying to figure out the  type of song that would score well. 
    I generally tend to score a song automatically more if the artist sang the song in his/her local language as opposed to English (which is a foreign language for most) 
     
    Finally, I must thank @Henry_Leon for hosting this edition so successfully & his passion for this event was visible in his effort. 
    It takes a lot of time out of your personal schedule to host such an event. 
     
    Congratulations to Team  Italia on winning this edition. I must confess i liked your nomination for the open contest more than this one. But this was a worthy winner too. 
     
    Looking forward to TISC (open) 2024

    Now that it's all over, I'd like to offer my congratulations to @Gianlu33,@Henry_Leon, @Pablita, @SteveParker on their win , but also to @Wandererand @Belle on their medals . 
     
    Extending my congratulations to @Henry_Leon, who run the contest smoothly throughout and hosted a great show this weekend . 
     
    Thank you to those who voted for our song, @Roamingrover86, @OlympicIRL, @Wumo, @IoNuTzZ, @Wanderer, @vinipereira . Unfortunately my song choice proved to be completely unsuccessful and the result is rather awful, but it is what it is. We can only aim at better results from here.
     
    A huge thank you to our teammates @Belle, @Wanderer, @NikolaB, @Ionoutz24 . You gifted us the team event gold, as I think our song contributed just 7 points out of the 466. 
     
    Below you can see my personal ballot.
     
    1st   12 pts   Netherlands  2nd   11 pts   Spain  3rd   10 pts   Indonesia  4th   9 pts   Ireland  5th   8 pts  United States  6th   7 pts   Chile  7th   6 pts   France  8th   5 pts   Croatia  9th   4 pts   India  10th   3 pts   Portugal  11th   2 pts   Brazil  12th   1 pts   Czechia    Res1   Great Britain  Res2   New Zealand   Res3   Sweden  
    As a general comment, we were two jury members this time, however we voted 22 different songs. Brazil and Portugal were the only songs that got points from both of us. 
     
    This was my 6th TISC. I haven't voted for the winning song twice and both times it was Italy.
     
    This was the first time that I didn't give points to any of the eventual medallists. New Zealand and Sweden were both among my reserves.
     
    I have never been as sure that a song is going to win, as I was with the Dutch entry this time. I'm very surprised it only got 10th place.
     
    As a whole, this was another fun experience and the fight for gold was thoroughly enjoyable.
     
    I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again in the next open contest this autumn!

    I did miss whole contest, not most as I mentioned, but I see (in case of Poland) I didn't miss anything special, 30st place, one of the worst results, I think that I have to reconsider which type of songs I should choose in next editions.
     
    Anyway congrats Italy, New Zealand and Sweden for podium  It rare happens, if not first time ever, that my top2 songs finished in top2 overall

    thank you for this magnificent show, great work from our Italian neighbors. I had a great evening . Thank you to all the countries who voted for France, a very nice 4th place (perhaps because the song was in English) and understood by all.. Congratulations to the winner and to all the others who introduced us to beautiful songs.

    Yeah, I don't know how other people rank and how they decide, but logically thinking, the disco music genre is one of those genres that are not known for huge variation, which is why many disco songs have a lot of things in common with each other. It's not insane to assume that if you liked Italy, you should have felt somewhat keen on Argentina as well. For me, personally, Argentina even had a bit more to offer in that regard.
     
    It would've been okay if Argentina scored like less than Italy, but not by a 110 point margin. I can only assume that if this song was sent let's say by the French jury and it was in French, we'd have at least 80-100 points :/ Although we have a long history of songs in Spanish doing well too, so yeah, it's impossible to explain what goes on in the voting processes of all of the juries

    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.
