Wolf Blitzer is standing by with a CNN projection

I was today years old when I found out the Vengaboys are Dutch and not British

I can reveal that the Netherlands won Florida and Canada might win Pennsylvania/Georgia/Arizona/Nevada, though Arizona called it early for Serbia 12 -- 11 -- 10 -- 9 -- 8 -- 7 -- 6 -- 5 -- 4 -- 3 -- 2 -- 1 -- R1 -- R2 -- R3 -- R4 --

We're sure to get the name right

UNITED STATES Tunisia 12 Egypt 11 Ireland 10 Canada 9 Czech Republic 8 Netherlands 7 Hungary 6 France 5 Croatia 4 Lithuania 3 Denmark 2 Germany 1 Concluding Comment: Thank you for another fun contest. Please stay tuned for our press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping Hotel in Philadelphia

Any guesses for our 12?

These are legal votes

Wait until you see who got the 12

UNITED STATES Egypt 11 Ireland 10 Canada 9 Czech Republic 8 Netherlands 7 Hungary 6 France 5 Croatia 4 Lithuania 3 Denmark 2 Germany 1

UNITED STATES Opening greeting: Greetings from the land of the anti-establishment. We're planning to speak more about this contest at Four Seasons in Philadelphia at the conclusion of the event, but we made sure it's done at the hotel and not next to a sex shop. For now, here are our votes Ireland 10 Canada 9 Czech Republic 8 Netherlands 7 Hungary 6 France 5 Croatia 4 Lithuania 3 Denmark 2 Germany 1

I'm up now, so if you want a break, I'll take over.

Is it too early to do a hand recount? BTW, good morning

Former host here, can confirm. I sent them out in batches over 5 days.

We can be any state except Pennsylvania. While we won't push you to victory, we'll give you just enough points to feel good about yourself

Those can only go so far... but yeah, I got notifications on

>be me >logs on to Totallympics.com >Scrolls to Totallympics International Song Contest >Clicks 'unread' on Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2020 >Reads 6 new pages, mostly about food and inside jokes >Ate dinner because I was hungry af >... Okay, that was my poor attempt at a greentext meme, but if we're doing memes tonight... By the way, I voted

I did my first listen. I already eliminated 5 songs. I have 11 songs ready for me to give points to. I have 18 songs competing for my 12th place plus 4 reserves

I'll start listening to the songs tomorrow. I'll have the votes ready when it's time

So we finally got a name for my erratic voting (aka my badge of honor, I guess)

I'm in for

Actually, I should drop my other two choices here in video form, so here they are Pia Mia -- Bitter Love Symphony -- Chance

Alright, that was a shit ton of pages to go through, but I'm glad I made it to the end First of all, thank you to the community who was able to vote for Hong Kong in the group stages. I chose that song because I was also in the middle of picking some songs for another contest, and when I got an invite via Twitter to join, I just had to do it. I also had chosen songs from my other choices (Guam and Swaziland, or eSwatini for you 'name nazis' out there) from that same contest. For Guam, I had chosen Pia Mia (mainly because she's the biggest pop star to ever come out of the island) with a song called Bitter Love and for eSwatini (or Swaziland), I had chosen this artist named Symphony with a song called Chance. I don't know how either of them would have done in this contest, but I don't regret it one bit. Okay, so I was in Group F with @kungshamra71 (love the song from Angola btw), @IoNuTzZ (thanks for claiming a spot already before this thing started lol), @heywoodu (I'm gonna sound stupid, but wtf though), and @justony (proof that you can tie 3-4 times in the group stage and still make it to bronze apparently, but whatevs). My favorites in no particular order are South Africa, Guinea, Kosovo, Gibraltar (I was rooting for them in the final though), Angola, Jamaica, Sri Lanka, and Burundi About the choices, there are some I wasn't surprised about and some that I never saw coming, but if you had told me that @OlympicIRL would pick Costa Rica and that would have gone on to win the contest, I would sort of believe you, because of course he will. So, it's been fun following the contest, and when we do decide to do it again, just let me know and I'll join. Whether I pick Hong Kong again or give another nation a go is totally another story

Yeah, I get your point. I realized it's not a good idea to do it annually, but it's just a thought

Costa Rica destroying Barbados, even with Rihanna's star power... I love this community

Maybe we should do this every year, considering how this one went down with surprise results
