I can only speak for myself personally because I don’t know how @dezbee2008 goes about it, but I keep a running playlist of possible contenders throughout the year. I’ll read music articles/reviews, listen through artist discovery playlists, and take suggestions from friends/family etc. In this case, a recent release won out. To be honest, I don’t personally prioritize winning. It would be nice, and I do try to choose a song that I both like and that I think will do well (which I very much though this one would.), but ultimately I just to try to share wonderful, interesting music. Also, on the topic of this particular entry, it wasn’t my first choice. However, it was most well liked amongst our jury and my friends and family.

Another song, that like TERRA, I would have liked to see at Eurovision

Since we’ve got some time before the next session, I’ll go ahead and drop my personal votes now that I can. - 12 (I appreciate the concept of this album even if it isn’t my favorite of hers. This song was truly beautiful though.) - 11 (This was probably the song I was pulling the hardest for to see at Eurovision. I enjoy a good modernized folk song, and this song has a wonderful message behind it. However, Midas is my favorite of theirs.) - 10 (Just a gorgeous song with some great lyrics.) - 9 (I’ll admit to vibing to this song on my way to uni on more than one occasion during the voting period. Good overall quality.) - 8 (Quite literally put a spell on me . Wonderful vocals.) - 7 (This song is incredibly radio friendly. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised to hear it on pop station in LA. I like the lyrics too.) - 6 (Just really liked what this song offered overall.) - 5 (Pleasant entry, with great instrumentation, and nice vocals.) - 4 (I didn’t like this song as much as the last entry, but the bold message helped it out.) - 3 (I can’t believe this song hasn’t gotten a little more love. Amazing vocals with great visuals.) - 2 (Purely awarded points for the beat drop and music video ) - 1 (This one climbed up my ranking at the last opportunity. Just a solid song overall.) - Reserve 1 - Reserve 2 - Reserve 3 - Reserve 4

*Write a greeting message here* is my favorite traditional American greeting by the way

Yeah, but the Totallympics Top 39 begs to disagree

Take that Chanel

Plus, you beat both The Weeknd’s entries, so you can officially, and factually, say that Americans like your music more than The Weeknd’s

@dezbee2008 Who’s posting the votes?

employing the literal definition of carrying for the Saints right now

France? For @Bohemia’s sake.

It definitely won’t be

or . I like the chaotic nature of that

Because that will be the 12 obviously

resurrects

Just in time for first 12 points as well! Not a moment to soon!

I’m joining live just in time for the start of the third session

I’m going to have to miss the first two sessions to catch up on some much needed sleep, but best of luck to everyone! Also, let’s go Heroes! Let’s be the heroes of our time!

@Vektor wonderful ceremony! Northern Hungary seems like prime mountain biking territory. I’m surprised Hungary has not made more of a mark there.

…And another Speed World Record falls in Seoul. Aleksandra Miroslaw posts a 6.64

finish 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 at the first Speed World Cup of the year. Oh, and…Kiromal Katibin casually sets the new WR a 5.17 @Griff88

@Vektor For those of us that have been busy this week, but would like to read these great city posts, could you link them to the first page of the thread or something?

Triathlon reduced to duathlon over low water temperatures at venue.

Still struggling to find results for some sports, though they are gradually being added to the official website. with a strong performance so far according to the LOC.

Yeah, I commend XPlay for their efforts to broadcast this, but it is hard to follow along without graphics. Plus, the results system is limited to android users, which cuts out a lot of people from being able to even see the results.
