And Ed will be back later tonight to play a melody of his top songs. 
 
Tonight we're emanating from the incredible Goodison Park in Liverpool, which will also play host to Sunday's grand final and closing ceremony. 
 
So let's find out a bit more about our host venue. 
 

 
Built in 1892 after a dispute between the owners of Everton Football Club and Anfield Stadium (where Everton used to play) the stadium can hold a total of 39,414 people. 
 
The stadium has played host to many memorable moments, including the vast majority Everton's 130+ years in top flight football, their miraculous last day relegation escapes, the 1893-94 FA Cup final between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers and 5 games at the 1966 World Cup including the Quarter Final between Portugal and North Korea and the Semi Final between West Germany and the the Soviet Union. 
 
This ground was also chosen by lifelong Everton fan Sylvester Stallone to play host to the fight between Adonis Creed and "Pretty" Ricky Coclan in the 2015 Box Office film Creed. 
 
At the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season the ground is set to be demolished and turned into a housing estate as Everton move into their new stadium Bramley Moor Dock next season. A truly fitting venue to host TISC 2024. 

Now it's time for the parade of nations for the festival of music. 20 nations took part in this years edition, and here they are: 
 
 Australia 
 
 
 
 Estonia 
 
 
 Georgia

All are welcome.

Thanks @Henry_Leon, you was an amazing host, it was a great TISC.
 
And a big thanks and mention to @Pablita, the Italian TISC song choice strategy 2 in a row  

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!

Thanks @Roamingrover86

News:

The whole world celebrates the Italian success:

these are the version in other language
(I don't know if they are official cover, or if they just took the backing track)
 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

But I must say the difference in using a song in Swedish is very big against using a song in English. 
 
Still the next year I will use a song in Swedish since I really want to people to hear the Swedish language too. Sadly it’s not very popular but it doesn’t matter for me.
