TiBB Music Festival: Gold Coast 02
22 & 26 October 2019

Official Wikia: Click Here!

It is time to let the competition begin again! I, with Shaun's knowledge AND Riley's (Wizard) lovely ideas, decided to create a spiritual successor to TiBB Eurovision. Then in August, we had our first edition in Pittsburgh. Cut to now, and well... now boarding a one-way flight to the Gold Coast! What songs will be heard? Where are the constant translations into French? When will the madness end? No idea.

FORMAT

The format of the TiBB Music Festival will remain similar to TiBB Eurovision, however, there are some changes. For the first time, I will have a Spotify playlist of all of the songs for you to listen to the songs during the 4 day voting period. For the voting, there will also be 2 sets of points (just like TiBB Eurovision), however, everyone will be sending 2 sets of 1-8, 10, and 12 points (one for jury voting, one for televoting).

RULES

- If you want to take part, reply to this thread with the country you want! But please, if you do reserve a country, I expect an entry.
- In a change from TiBB Eurovision, participants can now choose a song that is already in the public database (look on Spotify or YouTube, there are plenty of songs on either one).
- Lyrics, an artist name, song title AND music video are all that's required.
- Members may only represent one country.
- Entries must be submitted to me as soon as possible. The event itself will take place on a Tuesday evening and the results will follow on a Saturday of the same week.
- And for the first time since Globalvision, countries that are not in Europe or Australia will be able to participate.

You have as much time as you need to find your entries. Please find songs that we all may enjoy, and please don't feel afraid to take part The more entries, the more fun it is to run. Songs can be about anything you like, and whilst we are fairly liberal with what is deemed "in good taste" obviously a song containing 30 different death threats may well find itself lost in my inbox and doomed never to enter.

The winner of this glorious festivity shall also receive a supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics this lovely little award (which has been potentially lost in the TiBB Admin towers)! - so if that isn't motivation to bring your A-game, I don't know what is.

Before this thread was posted, South Africa submitted their song. All of the countries mentioned below will be free game (sans Denmark, because some things never change with me, South Africa due to song selection, and Barbados, because reasons).

Yes, yes I am (being the extremely nice person that I am).

[Josiah.]

Don't be shy people, everything's alright. 7 countries with 4 confirmed songs isn't bad to start out with.

[Josiah.]

If I receive enough entries within the coming weeks, I will bring the date of the contest forward in time.

[Matthew.]

I’ll take Italy please

[Josiah.]

[Calderyon]

Australia or South Korea.

[Josiah.]

Added into the OP for you.

[Josiah.]

I hope people are finding some fantastic songs.

[Josiah.]

I am planning on bringing this forward to the end of this month, just so we're not waiting until Christmas to do this. Look for the updated dates in the OP and on the Wikia page.

[Josiah.]

The new dates are 29 October & 2 November. So countries should be confirmed and song be submitted ASAP until the 28th.

[Wizard.]

Can I change my song please?

[Josiah.]

Yes, yes you can. But once I start making the video (only God knows when), there's no turning back.

[Josiah.]

Ladies and gents, the final countdown to the show begins. 13 days until we "land" in the Gold Coast for the second TiBB Music Festival.

More songs and countries are expected and anticipated. I have even started beginning to select songs for even more countries (just to increase participation amongst the forum).
