I will only watch MelFest 2026. I will skip Vienna 2026. ESC as I remember it is gone. 

@OlympicIRL Big thank you. I’m in Sweden’s jury process. I have listened to the songs once. But now I have time for more listening and hopefully a more fair voting. 

I am happy to announce a significant extension to the voting deadline. Jury members now have until 21:00 GMT, Friday, December 12th to submit their votes. This adds a full week to the existing deadline so will hopefully ensure anyone struggling with time to get some much needed extra space to listen to the songs and submit their votes  
 
Since the Grand Final won't take place until after the New Year, we have some room to move the deadline to make it easier for everyone to get their votes in

I don’t complain. Men vad i helvete??????????????? Since when videos can has subtitles in my language? 

It’s time for game two of Homan-Black, Homan one win away from making it back to her third consecutive Olympic Games. 

Sweden is European Champions on Women’s side. 
 
Come on Edin, we want a Golden double. 

I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members
 
For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL.
 
All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also.
 
I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish
 
 
Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries .

@Roamingrover86 has submitted an entry for India by private message which I will reserve as the Indian entry for now until I hear otherwise before the deadline. Once the deadline passes and if we have not heard from @Fly_like_a_don then I will go ahead and post the entry that has been reserved.
 
It means all registered nations have now submitted a song . Still 24 hours left if any other nation wants to surprise us with a last minute appearance  
 
 

The entry deadline is going to be extended for 48 hours to allow a chance for and to get their songs in. The new and final deadline will now be Saturday 22 November, 21:00 GMT.
 
New countries are also eligible to join before that deadline, providing they submit their song before that time also

I see where you're going with that one :D

I miss @Wanderer
 
But my biggest concern is @dcro. He hasn’t been here since March. Do anyone know anything about him? 

IRELAND
 
 
Ireland will be represented at TISC Annual 2025 by folk band Kingfishr.
 
Formed in Limerick in 2022, Kingfishr comprises lead singer Eddie Keogh, Eoghan McGrath, and Eoin Fitzgibbon, whose style of music embraces Irish traditional folk with a modern sound. Their music has resonated with the Irish Gaelic sports fandom and rural communities across the land. Their 2025 hit Killeagh, a tribute to their parish hurling team, seeped into the mainstream consciousness of the nation and was played throughout the Gaelic football and hurling season.
 
I have chosen another song from their debut album Halcyon to represent Ireland at TISC. I hope you enjoy them

SWEDEN 
 
Nomi Tales - Funniest Thing 
 
Nomi Tales participated in Melodifestivalen 2025 with her song Funniest Thing. She competed in the 1st heat but didn’t make it to the final. I think she was robbed. I want to give her an another chance in TISC 2025.

Somewhere far away in a lone man's land
Where no one goes anymore
Except for those who believe So you think that you're brave enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard If you dare, dare to play
It's a dirty game
You can't reach the high score
Unless you are one who believes
Ohh-oh-whoa So you think that you're brave enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard That's the funniest thing I've heard
Ohh-oh-whoa Your word doesn't matter anyway
They called my name
I am not afraid
Doesn't matter what you say
I control my faith
So you think that you're brave enough? So you think that you're brave enough 
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard That's the funniest thing I've heard

And that's  -  suspended at 1-1 because some moron threw fireworks on the field
 
Always interested what goes on in the presumably not more than 3 brain cells that people who bring fireworks to a stadium possess.
