Totallympics International Song Contest Discussion

[Cobi 947]

In the case of Spain, the number of songs released has not changed much with respect to 2019, but I am ok with extending the eligibility period a few months if this helps some users.

 

Question 1 - A

Question 2 - B

[Werloc 3,127]

Yeah, my entire reasoning against A is pretty much that I don't know how the competition will look if a bunch of countries just send their second choice of 2019, rather than putting in the research for 2020/21.

 

Nobody can actually convince me that artists haven't released songs for a year and a half.

 

Having all concerts cancelled due to various quarantines, releasing a song is literally the only thing that you can do as an artist in this pandemic.

Honestly, we can say with some certainty that COVID-19 is not necessarily the main reason why someone would vote for A.

 

So maybe there needs to be 2/3 majority for this motion to pass. Burden of proof rests on the new option, not the outstanding one.

I think it goes against the point of Annual if we extend the eligibility window, so while it will certainly be harder to find good songs and we might have a fewer number of countries participating, I think it should remain the same.

It's a tie right now. I'm happy at least with that, I thought it would be a one-sided vote towards A.

 

Edit: nevermind 7:8 rn

btw, is Canada confirmed to be able host the next Annual? I am only asking because I think there wasn't any official announcement in the Open 2020 thread (unless I missed it).

I believe Canada confirmed to host. 

 

No news from Serbia on the other hand.

Now I'm curious as to which other reasons there would be. And to clarify: yes, it was my reason.

 

Although I must add that I don't really feel strongly about either option, A was more a 'gun to the head' choice. I'm perfectly happy with both A and B.
