Pablita

I am really sorry to announce this, but I am forced to pull of from this edition.
 
I am sadly now too busy with outside life currently (mainly fresh new job which is consuming major part of my daily time), that I do not have time to visit and participate in the forum as much as I would wish, did not have time to even listening the songs at least once.
 
I knew this will happen when I was considering my participation, sadly, it appeared to be true.
 
Sorry for that @Cinnamon Bun one more time. I was really looking forward for your edition
 
It is definitely not a farewell, rather a temporary hiatus until my free-time will be more open and friendly, sadly, it is not going to be sooner than next year for sure.
 
 
Anyway, when I will have some time i will try to watch a take a look on the thread and contest.
 
Wish you all good luck and happy contest.

I'll be able to send votes by early next week now that Hurricane Milton is out of my area

Very happy for my win! Thanks @Wumo for the organization

Apologies to @Henry_Leon for not being there yesterday for the show. I was traveling home from my vacation and was only able to get caught up now. What an amazing show it was. Huge congratulations to our hosts and deserving champions on their 3rd TISC victory!! @Henry_Leon@SteveParker@Gianlu33@Pablita

Well done to our other medalists @Wanderer and @Belle for a great result

Finally I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for my entry at this contest. Really glad you enjoyed it

Thanks so much to @dcro and @Glen for awarding your silver medal to the Irish song and to @Wumo and the Italian jury @Henry_Leon@SteveParker@Gianlu33@Pablita for awarding your 12 points to Ireland this year

Thanks as always for everyone for continuing to participate and make this show interesting and entertaining for us all
 

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  

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!

Thank you all for the music and the entertaining show.
 
A special thank to @vinipereira: I know that our beautiful radio could be a perfect logo for the contest but you really did an amazing job!
 
Hope you have enjoyed the show: we spent many hours with @Henry_Leon to choose songs, mascots and places.
