I guess the try and try and try and possibly you will succeed mentality is working out great for Kensington at the moment

Screw this, here we go
 

I have some bad feeling about our prospects. Hopefully we wont end up with 0.
 
On the other hand, I feel like will bring me some joy in the team competition.

Continuing with the South American theme this night, the Organizing Committee is proud to finally unveil the logo for the Totallympics Annual International Contest 2018.
 
The main figure for this logo, the arara-vermelha (Red-and-green macaw) is a large species widespread in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America, especially in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. However - in common with other macaws - there has been a decline in its numbers due to habitat loss and illegal capture. With the use of its image here at the logo, we hope to raise awareness to this fact, but also celebrate its beauty.
 
In the logo, the bird is combined with musical waves (to bring a music element) that also resembles the Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio.
 
Ladies and gentleman, the official logo of TISC 2018:

Yesterday I decided to listen to the new Shawn Mendes song.
Then I listened again
Then I listened to it one more time
And decided to play it again
And again
And now it's a cover

days to go....
 

 
 
TISC and the number 8:
 
8 - is the number of points that "Zombie" averaged when winning TISC Open 2014 8 - is the number of gold medals that Denmark has been awarded in TISC 8 - is the record medal winning streak at TISC (Ireland received 8 medals in a row at TISC Open 2014 from the national juries of ) 8 - is the number of editions that Lithuania served as a member of "the Committee" - the group of nations who always award points to the eventual winner

TISC Festival continues the grand tradition of posting everything on the first day

so @konig pretty much saved the day? Hail Konig

Just watched it, really beautiful
 

Hey there, I don't know if I told this story here, but one of the people behind my Eurovision song was Michael Schulte, that's representing Germany this year. This is one of the reasons why I couldn't resist and for the second year in a row I will be covering a few Eurovision songs, so if anybody is interested in following the journey, you know where to find me

And yes, @OlympicIRL I will be covering Ireland next, I love love love the song and my 12 points in Eurovoixx jury went to your country.

I already wrote a poem, I think that's enough for this edition

Very nice video and looking forward to your next one with the Irish song
 

Now this is pure talent 

I also remember this song being very popular, at least in Europe: Alvaro Soler - Sofia

There's this amazing song from the Plain White T's called "Hey There Delilah"
 
As for Lithuanian songs with names, it's not a popular thing and I couldn't honestly tell you if we have those. The only songs that uses names in our music are trash pop parody songs.

So should I assume that was bestmen's men? Shouldn't they like be the best at what they do?

BREAKING NEWS: Former Committee member Werloc leaks the secret recipe for the TISC victory!!
 
How To Win TISC
 
Props to @Werloc for composing this.
 
Also, something tells me I need to make sure @heywoodu sees this, so there you go...

While I appreciate @Memo's response, I've decided not to allow Turkey's votes in this edition. I have read all of the participants' inputs and it seems pretty divided wether to allow this participation or not, both by reasons cited here and by other concerns I have.
 
When it was time to register the songs, there was some talk about allowing users with no (or very little) participation on the forum, but then I've decided to follow the rules and allow Turkey's entry, mainly because the user was registered on Totallympics long enough (more than a year, I think, even if it was with a different account). So now it only seems fair that I follow the rules again. One thing is to extend a deadline for someone who asks for it (for any reason) or give any indication that they will vote, other is to allow votes after some important post-voting things already happened. Allowing such votes would definitely change some placings in the final ranking, and while that would be good for some nations, it wouldn't make others very happy - even if this contest is all about fun.
 
I have talked privately with Memo and invited him to take part in our Festival of Music next weekend and in the upcoming Open contest later this year, if he wishes so.
 
I hope we can move forward and next week I think we will have all the templates ready to go (I'm having trouble with the logo, but it should be presented soon).
