If your tea has become solid, you might want to get a new one mate.

9 sets of votes to go, theoretically all 34 countries can still win But 99% certain the next set of vote will eliminate the first few.

This is starting to look like....Czech mate! Sorry.

Well hold on, there are three options then: 1. I overlooked it (I know myself, this is not impossible) 2. I listened to it once, but had forgotten about it (definitely possible, I've listened so many songs on here throughout the years...) 3. Aliens I think 1 and 2 are the most likely, but in that case it was at least the 2nd time (and 3rd, 4th and 5th because I listened to all songs multiple times)

Thanks, this makes me want to watch all of Professor Chaos' evil plans again

Can you sing it a capella?

There's only like 4 hours to go before going to bed, just eat well I find it more amazing to see people have lunch at 13:00 or something and then have dinner 7-8 hours later....how on earth do they survive?

Are the Czechs going to make things a bit more tight by giving Sweden a bunch of points?

TOISC was literally the first time I had ever heard that song

That's it for dinner, obrigado for the points @kungshamra71

Right, dinner time (for me)

That's alright, we're a little behind every now and then. Which is why it is always helpful to wait for the organizer to 'announce' one's turn to vote

I'm afraid I don't dance, but I'll join in my mind

Gap graph is racing up like a madman

They're 13 points behind though Edit: 17 now, thanks to Albania

I guess so I usually listen to most songs without knowing which country they're from (although in some cases it's of course usually hard not to know, like with Portuguese, German, Italian), and this is one of the songs where I had absolutely no idea, at all, which country it could be. Not the first time it happened with Serbia, I think I also gave them 12 points once when they had a very, very Irish song Same with Slovenia this time, which for some reason I was absolutely convinced was from Indonesia (with the 'Hir aj kam, hir aj go')

Netherlands Serbia 12 Czech Republic 11 Argentina 10 Slovenia 9 Canada 8 Guatemala 7 Brazil 6 Bulgaria 5 New Zealand 4 Great Britain 3 Moldova 2 Spain 1 Tot zover de stemmen van de Nederlandse jury. We gaan de tweede helft van de competitie in en wensen iedereen nog veel plezier en een mooie middag of avond, tot de volgende keer! That's it for the Dutch votes. We're getting into the second half of the competition and with that we wish everyone a lot of fun and a lovely afternoon and/or evening, we'll see you next time!

I think the Dutch jury has very often given 12 points to countries that end up rather high in the ranking, but this may be the - so far - lowest ranked country we've ever given 12 points to Which I find sad, of course, because obviously they get 12 points because I like them the most

I remember last time there was a song with a really catchy trumpet-like start that then disappointed me (not sure which country), but this year's Argentinian song started in a way I really like and kept going nicely

Goedemiddag uit Nederland! De Nederlandse jury wil @Cinnamon Bungraag bedanken voor de zware, maar dankbare taak die velen van ons kennen: het organiseren van TISC! Bedankt voor, zoals altijd, een mooi evenement. We bedanken ook alle deelnemers voor hun inzendingen, het was weer erg leuk om te luisteren! Hier zijn de stemmen van de Nederlandse jury. Good afternoon from the Netherlands! The Dutch jury would like to thank our host @Cinnamon Bun for the tough but thankful task many of us are familiar with: hosting TISC! Thank you for, as ever, a lovely event. We'd also like to thank all the participants for their entries, it was once again lots of fun to listen! Here are the votes for the Dutch jury. Netherlands Argentina 10 Slovenia 9 Canada 8 Guatemala 7 Brazil 6 Bulgaria 5 New Zealand 4 Great Britain 3 Moldova 2 Spain 1

So just to avoid confusion: @Erigert I know it's your voting time in about 1 minute, but don't post your votes yet, we're still waiting for our host to be ready for the Dutch votes and after that it's your turn

is up next! However, the host has asked me to hold back a bit and wait for him to give the green light, to avoid everything snowballing out of control (which I'm sure everyone who has ever hosted TISC can perfectly understand ). So the Dutch jury is ready to post the votes, we're just waiting and entertaining ourselves with some drinks!
