The drama

Can you repeat this twice before the final reveal in true Eurovision fashion?

3rd place battle all over the place in this final vote.

It’s also a public holiday on the US tomorrow (Veterans Day).

What a wild finish to this thing! I’m on the edge of my seat.

I slept in today, so no 1AM TISC posts from me this time

My TISC battery has been recharged seeing all the fun again. I'll definitely return to the US jury next edition.

What is this magical concept you speak of? Its been a while since I experienced it

Even more interesting: Her song competed against a different entry from that time, so "New Rules" has competed for and against Albania in TISC.

Which is interesting, considering this isn't the first time the song has been chosen for a TISC event.

Running? Cycling? Skiing? I'm assuming its a running event, but my curiosity has been activated.

Tell that to my voting in the last few contests This was the main reason for my withdrawal. I didn’t want to “half-ass” something everyone else puts a lot of energy into.

Yeah, there’s been a noticeable drop in energy and posts on the forum. Personally, I just needed some time to recharge after a busy summer, which is why I decided to sideline myself from this edition. I hope to participate once more in the Spring
