Also for us to get some points. We are officially dead in this contest we won't get any from NZ, I think they have always given us some since we returned in 2019, even when we finished 34th. 

Yes, Hungary got points for six TISC editions in a row since 2019 open. Good luck with keeping the record

The votes will be presented soon. Thank you @kungshamra71 for the first points

I have to say, the voting so far is sooo TISC-like, all over the place I also think Netherlands might win again with the same artist. Emerald is the new Kensington, but upgraded it seems

 Iran

Kourosh Yaghmaei - Gole Yakh

I believe that I didn't, she's not the kind of person that'd be easy to explain to  

 

But me and our entire team are going to her place on Thursday for a dinner party, she's 8 months pregnant right now and wanted to see us again before becoming a mother. 

 

It's actually crazy when I think about it, 10 years ago when TISC started I was an absolute nobody in our music industry, now it's only this year's Beatrich and 2017 FOJE that I haven't had the chance to talk to in person.

 

7 years of performing with Jazzu, 3 years with GJan, chatting with Baumila from time to time, talked to Jauti and The Roop on Thursday and the same evening we randomly met Erica Jennings' niece at a bar.  Nobody from my friend group had any idea that the entire Jennings family were secretly living in Lithuania, we only thought it was Erica.  

If you ever meet someone from FOJE I wanna signed anything - a photo, a shirt, a cap, or just a napkin - from you and someone from FOJE!

10 years of TISC. I feel so old! 

I just crossed a song that scored 4 points before sending my votes

Right now, I've separated all the countries to 10 teams by random app (www.pickerwheel.com).

Each of teams call after one of top ten biggest town in Czechia: Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Pilsen, Olomouc, České Budějovice, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and Liberec.

Each of teams is also named after some typical animal in Czech nature: boar, fox, hare, mole, pike, salamander, wolf, stag, otter and swan.

 

The composition of teams is:

PRAGUE STAGS - , , , , 

BRNO SWANS - , , , 

OSTRAVA OTTERS - , , , 

PILSEN BOARS - , , , 

ÚSTÍ NAD LABEM WOLFS - , . , 

ČESKÉ BUDĚJOVICE FOXES - , , ,

HRADEC KRÁLOVÉ HARES - , , ,

PARDUBICE PIKES - , , ,

OLOMOUC MOLES - , , ,

LIBEREC SALAMANDERS - , , ,

Moles! Chemists love them  

12 wins, just 5 sets lost  

Tsitsipas and his ATP 500 finals  Good to see Djokovic still finishing on a high note and is very likely to end a season in top 10, despite missing AO, USO, Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati and -2000 points for winning Wimbledon.

Yeah, the final was great with many high quality played points. Something WTA truly deserves. And Iga showed once again why she is world number one. Also happy to see Krejcikova raised again, which makes her RG run last year less fluke  Excellent serving in the third set.

Three years ago she took the win in the Open 2019, this year Caro Emerald is going to try to back it up and do it again with her 2007 debut single 

 

 Caro Emerald - Back It Up

I can't stop shaking
The room has a groove and the floor
It's almost earthquaking
Uh-uh
Look what we're making
History out on the floor
And it's just awaking

So get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know 'zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again

 

From the middle to the top to the end

Gimme some of that funky
The kind that the Duke used to play
And make it more swingy
Heyey
And then give me some horny
You know the bub-pu-ba bub-pu-ba bay
Come on, give it to me
Hmm hmm

 

Slam that bass and make it sing
Give those strings that rip 'n' zing
You know 'zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again

From the middle to the top to the end

Thank God Kensington haven't won then  

What is the point of having same teams playing in QF as they played in main round?  Can't FIVB for once make a reasonable format? At this rate I am gonna miss the third round final six lol

Kontaveit won the derby 6-4 6-4 and will play Barbora Krejcikova in the final tomorrow.

 

Meanwhile Mayar Sherif wins her first WTA title beating Maria Sakkari in the Parma final 7-5 6-3.

Hilarious result in Parma. One must wonder if Sakkari would ever win second WTA title. Good for Mayar though, first ever WTA singles title for Egypt

 New Zealand

After long deliberation, Able Tasmans finally make appearance at TISC. Highly underrated band from NZ golden era - a mix of Dunedin sound with quirkiness of the band's members. 

Able Tasmans - Hold Me

Lyrics:

I know you're a star
And that you've come very far
But I don't want to hear that, now
Hold me, hold me
I know that you break
You may be even a snake
But I don't want to hear that, now
That now, that now, oh-oh
Don't ask me why
Cause I don't intend to reply
So, I don't want to hear that, now
Hold me, hold me
If that's a sin
Why are you starting to grin?
Now I don't want to hear that, now
That now, that now, oh-oh
I know you're a star
And that you've come very far
But I don't want to hear that, now
Hold me, hold me
I know that you break
You may be even a snake
But I don't want to hear that, now
Hold me, hold me, oh-oh
