TiBB Music Festival: Pittsburgh 01
20 & 24 August 2019

Official Wikia: Click Here! (https://channel-tibb.fandom.com/wiki/TiBB_Music_Festival_01)

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. Cut to now, and welcome to the TiBB Music Festival! 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)! https://i.imgur.com/pCZ1tmH.png - so if that isn't motivation to bring your A-game, I don't know what is.

Before this thread was posted, I selected 5 different songs and 5 different countries from a personal shortlist of 26 songs. These countries will be listed below, and all of the countries mentioned below will be free game (sans Denmark, because some things never change with me).

[Josiah.]

bump.

[Josiah.]

Hopefully, someone other than Alf has been paying attention to this...

[Nicky91]

I Choose Ghana

[Josiah.]

So far, 3 countries and their songs and artists have been chosen.

[Cherie]

Ireland please, so I don't need to do anything, am I reading this right?

[Calderyon]

You don't have to do anything other than participate?

I'll request for USA then, please.

[Josiah.]

Calderyon, the songs for Canada, Denmark (me), Ireland (Cherie), United Kingdom (Alf), and United Kingdom (you) were selected before I made the thread. Everyone else who chooses a country has to send in a song that is already in the public database.

[Kate!]

Canada please then.

[Ammi]

...I’ll go to Mexico please, Josiah...:love:..

[T*]

hmm South Korea please

[Josiah.]

If no one saw it in the OP, unless you are participating as Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the UK, or the US, you do not have to create a parody to submit. You can find a song (fairly new or somewhat well known) either on Spotify and/or YouTube.

[Ammi]

...so I just choose any song, Josiah...and send it to you as it is...?...

[Josiah.]

Yes Ammi.

[Amy Jade]

I'm not sure what I am doing but I'll play as Australia

[Denver]

Barbados

[Josiah.]

As stated in the OP for those that may be confused with what songs to submit: "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)."

[Liam-]

Do songs have to be by artists from the country we choose?

[Josiah.]

Liam, they don't, but I'd encourage it.

[Liam-]

I’ll take France

[Josiah.]

That now makes 11 countries chosen so far.

[Josiah.]

I have finalised the dates as 20 August for the Final, and 24 August for the voting results.

[Ammi]

....hmmm if it’s recommended to have the artist from the chosen country..?...then can I change to Norway please, Josiah...I did have a song chosen for Mexico but it was non Mexican related ..:laugh:..

[Josiah.]

Successfully changed.

[Josiah.]

By Tuesday at 12:00am, it'll be one week before we officially begin the fun.

[Ammi]

Successfully changed.

...thank you Josiah..:love:...I’ll get the song to you in the next few days...

[Josiah.]

For people who have chosen countries that do not have any songs, you have 1 week to submit your songs.

[Josiah.]

I've been working on an allocation draw, and here's which half everyone is performing in:

FIRST HALF:
• Australia
• France
• Ghana
• Ireland
• Norway
• United States
• Brazil

SECOND HALF:
• Barbados
• Canada
• Denmark
• Philippines
• South Korea
• United Kingdom

[RileyH]

Wait can I choose Phillipines please

[RileyH]

Or am I too late

[Josiah.]

Riley, you aren't late. Just remember to get your song in by the 19th or 20th.

[RileyH]

Thanks :p

[Strictly Jake]

I'll take Brazil

[Josiah.]

13 countries and 9 songs so far. Way to go!

[Josiah.]

With Ammi's submission, that's now 10 out of 13 countries with songs chosen.

[Liam-]

Did you get mine?

[Josiah.]

Yes I did.

[Josiah.]

11 songs now. 2 of the songs diverge from the English language, which is a pleasant surprise.

[Dogeatdog]

I’ll give this a go. Could I pick Cuba please?

[Josiah.]

Big, look at the OP for the list of countries to choose from (except for ones that are already chosen).

[Josiah.]

I'm currently in the process of collecting all of the music videos for the recap video, and I have a Spotify playlist of all of the songs being prepared.

[Josiah.]

Plus, if a mod could sticky this thread, thank you.

[Josiah.]

the recap video is coming along nicely.

[Josiah.]

I am still waiting on Amy and Tom to send in songs.

[Kate!]

I am still waiting on Amy, Riley, and Tom to send in songs.

You will wait forever for Tom.... :laugh:

[Ammi]

...I’m looking forward to seeing this first TiBB music festival, Josiah...good luck with it, you’ll do a great job...:love:..

[Nicky91]

what Ammi said, and i'd like to add this is a good follow up game franchise from tibb eurovision

:thumbs: i like fan contests myself

[Josiah.]

You all have no idea how excited I am.

[Josiah.]

Here is the official running order of all of the songs in both the video on Google Drive (I do not want to get copyright strikes on my YouTube channel) as well as the playlist on Spotify:

01 • United States
02 • France
03 • Ireland
04 • Brazil
05 • Norway
06 • Ghana
07 • Denmark
08 • Philippines
09 • Canada
10 • United Kingdom
11 • Barbados
12 • Australia

The recap video is completed, uploaded to Google Drive, and ready to be viewed. The playlist on Spotify is also completed and ready to be heard.
Good Luck to all participants and our three hosts will see us on Tuesday Evening.

THE HOSTS:
For this first edition, three anchors and reporters from TiBB News were chosen to present the contest. Leo Hastings, a 2-time Veggie Brother housemate and investigative reporter, Alexis Enero, lead anchor for TiBB News 24, and Nathan Coleman, lead anchor for TiBB News Wales and co-anchor for Newyddion TiBB.

[Ammi]

...good luck Josiah...:love:...you’ll be amazing as always...

[Josiah.]

Thanks Ammi! :)

This will be the first time that any music Competition on TiBB (TiBB Eurovision/Christmasvision or TiBB Music Festival) has been done entirely in video form.

[Josiah.]

Goodness me. 2 more days!

[Liam-]

How is it going to work? Are you gonna post the videos everyone sent in order?

[Josiah.]

I put all of the videos into one big video, with each song getting 30 seconds in the video.

[Strictly Jake]

Can't wait for this!

[Amy Jade]

Oz getting to close the show :clap1:

[Wizard.]

I’ll take South Africa

[Josiah.]

Riley (Wizard), I really can't edit the video and put you in it at this point in time, especially when I am so busy juggling this, uni, and work. As a plus, I am saving you a spot in the 2nd edition because I am a nice person and friend.

[Denver]

Oz getting to close the show :clap1:

Not Aus going unnoticed after a show stopping g Barbadian entry

[Josiah.]

Tonight at 8pm, the successor to TiBB Eurovision officially commences! See you then.

[Ammi]

...:love:..

[Wizard.]

Riley (Wizard), I really can't edit the video and put you in it at this point in time, especially when I am so busy juggling this, uni, and work. As a plus, I am saving you a spot in the 2nd edition because I am a nice person and friend.

But you told Riley that you could enter up until Tuesday?

I love how you use my idea for this I sent you and Sean when Eurovision was over, didn’t acknowledge it, use it then don’t even let me participate.

[Wizard.]

I wasn’t even going to mention it but now I’m feeling like a petty bitch

[Josiah.]

Riley, I hate this, but there's really no time or place on this forum to be petty; especially when there are only less than 8 hours until the video gets posted (plus I work from 2p-7p GMT today).

[Ant.]

I'm so confused, the OP says "[Josiah], with Shaun's knowledge", created the spiritual successor, yet Wizard's gave a screenshot to show that it was his idea? :unsure:

You also did say RileyH had until tomorrow to submit his song. Would it not have been more appropriate to give a strict deadline to avoid this problem and confusion?

Really don't want to make this my business but just an observation. It does seem unfair that Wizard hasn't at least got credit. That much can be done, surely?

[Denver]

At the same time this thread has been bumped everyday for about 2 weeks why did he decide to say he wanted to enter after Josiah said he has everything ready to go?

[Ant.]

At the same time this thread has been bumped everyday for about 2 weeks why did he decide to say he wanted to enter after Josiah said he has everything ready to go?

Are you referring to, "I put all the songs in one big video"? Because it's not exactly "everything is ready to go". I would've imagined songs would've been added as time went along, not at the end, but that's just my thought process. There was no explicit "sign-ups are closed" especially since it was implied that people had until the 19th at the earliest to submit a song, and Wizard asked 8am-ish 19th August, which is pretty early for the early deadline imo (especially since that was very early morning in the USA)

I also like to imagine Wizard isn't checking the forum daily and it doesn't help for every post on this thread there's ten michael21 threads burying it :laugh:

there is some truth here, that Michael is also partially to blame for this

[Strictly Jake]

Can wizard not be like a head judge or something?

[Ant.]

there is some truth here, that Michael is also partially to blame for this

Michael21 caused forum game discourse and thars the TEA

[Amy Jade]

To be fair Josiah has said Riley can play season 2 although I do think Riley deserves credit.

I wouldn't be willing to make changes with less than 24hours left either.

[Wizard.]

Riley, I hate this, but there's really no time or place on this forum to be petty; especially when there are only less than 8 hours until the video gets posted (plus I work from 2p-7p GMT today).

You said RileyH could have until Tuesday, but whatever. If I was THAT busy (which I am) I wouldn't go hosting a game/event if I didn't think I could run it properly. Realistically it would take you 10 minutes MAX to cut and paste a 30-second clip into the video.

You're always complaining about not having enough people but then you out and out reject someone for wanting to participate smh

I don't own the concept but the fact that I messaged that in April and didn't even get a reply :inamood: was just trying to be NICE!

At the same time this thread has been bumped everyday for about 2 weeks why did he decide to say he wanted to enter after Josiah said he has everything ready to go?

Because I've barely been online and posted as soon as I saw this thread for the first time cause I was actually excited about it.

This

Thanks Amy but when I have a game I try to accommodate and even let people join late even if the max number of spaces are filled or if they're on holiday but you know not everyone is perfect :hehe:

[Amy Jade]

I wasn't coming for you at all I know you're a good host I just feel bad that there is bad blood.

I do think it's a bit tight that you sent that message, got no reply and now this is running with zero acknowledgement to you though so I understand the frustration.

[Alf]

Riley can have my spot, if that's possible? I don't mind. I think I'm United Kingdom. I don't even know how this game works.

[Josiah.]

Okay, Riley; Alf has given his spot to you. Now, are you happy?

[Josiah.]

NOTE: Any and all types of negativity will not be tolerated in the slightest. This supposed to be a fun contest, P.S. Riley... You win, I put in the OP that I give you credit for the idea.

[Kate!]

What time does this start?

[Josiah.]

Kate, it starts in exactly 4 minutes.

[Kate!]

Thanks

[Josiah.]

Now is the moment you've been waiting for... Welcome to Pittsburgh ladies and gents!

I don't want negativity, I hope this is successful for you, I just wanted to take part but I'll take that.

[Wizard.]

And thanks Alf but you can have your spot back I don't want a song you've chosen (no offence, you have great taste).

[Josiah.]

Once again, to access the video, click the picture in Post #80.

Riley, I am extremely sorry for the conflama this evening.

[Wizard.]

whew the little controversy may be good for ratings xx

I'll vote later :love:

[Ammi]

...Josiah, the video is stunning...:lovedup:...you’ve put it together so beautifully and with such talent...so well done, you...:love:...


...and I’m so glad that Wizard has his rightful place in the credits for helping to create such a lovely event...well done Wizard as well..:lovedup:...I would think the musical festival couldn’t have happened without your input and idea...

[Alf]

And thanks Alf but you can have your spot back I don't want a song you've chosen (no offence, you have great taste).I haven't chosen any song. That's what I mean when I say, I don't know how this game works.

Are you absolutely sure you don't want my spot? Your welcome to it if you want.

[Wizard.]

Are you absolutely sure you don't want my spot? Your welcome to it if you want.

Oh well how is there a song for the U.K.? Josiah picked for you?

[Morgan.]

:love: thanks Amni!



Oh well how is there a song for the U.K.? Josiah picked for you?

Josiah picked songs for like 5 of the countries

[Strictly Jake]

Josiah this is really awesome. Its also so different and so great for the forum! I hope you have a lot of success with votes and that this comes back because its great

[Amy Jade]

I picked mine for Australia

[Wizard.]

Josiah picked songs for like 5 of the countries

That literally makes no sense :laugh:

[Josiah.]

I chose the songs for Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the UK, and the US mainly to save time for some people like Tom who take months to send in a song.

But in terms of voting, I have graciously received the points from 2 countries.

[Josiah.]

Just in case people didn't realise that they could click on the photo in Post #80, here's the direct link to the video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AYYbbF1dc2dly3scbPkeYT7pjnSLk4lp

And here's the Spotify playlist:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/79l7pfbFmtMoKhotT6Pdx3?si=SMUW508vTjicDvwXq1Y96A

[Ammi]

...so we submit two sets of votes of how we would score the songs ...but they both have to be different, Josiah...is that what you’re saying...?...

[Nicky91]

great songs :clap2: all of them actually, also good bit of diversity


hope everyone was bopping to my Ghana song


and now the hardest bit, the voting

[Nicky91]

my Ghana jury members are

Abraham Attah - award winning child actor

Wendy Shay - Afropop and Afrobeat singer

Teddy Osei - veteran afromusic singer, founder of Osasiba (which has its 50th anniversary this year)

Strongman K - recording artist and songwriter/producer

DJ Mensah - DJ, Entrepeneur, recording artist (Head of Ghana Jury)

[Josiah.]

Yes Ammi.

[Josiah.]

From all countries that have voted so far (Brazil, Denmark, and Ghana), I received only the jury points from Ghana, so if I could receive the Ghanaian televoting points.

[Ammi]

...I watched the vid again...it really is wonderfully put together, Josiah...the voting is very harsh because there will only be one song that no points can be given for...we can only vote for 10 of the 11 songs that aren’t our own..?...

[Liam-]

I’ll do my scores tonight

[EscapismIsAnotherPrison]

Netherlands

Why so few participants? Can we tag people, or something like that?

Oh, I see.. I'm way too late! Well, maybe next time.

[Nicky91]

maybe more participants next edition :laugh: i Always knew fan contests would work on this forum

[Josiah.]

I am looking at the points right now, and I can most assuredly say that no one has received the dreaded nul points.

Remember, voting closes at 6:00pm GMT on Saturday.

[RileyH]

Wait I'm confused why do the 2 sets of votes have to be different

[Josiah.]

To make sure that people aren't sending the same set of points twice.

[RileyH]

Ok but do they have to be dead different or can I just shuffle a few around

[Josiah.]

Either way is fine Riley.

[Liam-]

The scoring was hard

[Josiah.]

The voting getting even more interesting. Again, no nul points to be seen.

The country currently placing last in the jury voting has 4 points, and the country currently placing last in the televoting has 6 points.

Remember, even if you did not choose a country or a song; you can still send in your 2 sets of points.

[Josiah.]

Once again, here's the Spotify playlist:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/79l7pfbFmtMoKhotT6Pdx3?si=SMUW508vTjicDvwXq1Y96A

[T*]

Oh bugger I thought we had to have the songs in by the 24th I’m sorry

[EscapismIsAnotherPrison]

The next TiBB Music Festival edition will be in December?!?!

Sorry guys, but Popjustice Song Contest is so much better.

[Nicky91]

The next TiBB Music Festival edition will be on December?!?!

Sorry guys, but Popjustice Song Contest is so much better.

i've heard of that contest :eyes:

[Morgan.]

The next TiBB Music Festival edition will be on December?!?!

Sorry guys, but Popjustice Song Contest is so much better.

After a quick google, I see it happens monthly. This forum is simply not active enough for it to happen monthly. Josiah got less than 20 participants for this one (although now people know how it works they’ll be likelier to compete, I know I will) but there’s simply not enough active members to warrant this happening monthly unfortunately.

and it isn't just a eurovision game (only voting format is similar to that), anyone on the forum here can compete, with music they like, and as it's with countries from around the world, it's also a good way for people here to get to know artists from lots of countries whose music is for now kinda unknown

i can speak out of experience, since in fan contests i played, i've seen artists pop by who i never heard of before those contests, and i ended up liking several of them

Yeah I did like that part of it, much easier than having to write a song definitley.

I was just unsure if the format, so I wanted to see how it worked first before signing up and committing.

[Josiah.]

No, I am not planning on doing this monthly. That would take too much time. After these first 2 editions, we'll be back to the old TIBB Eurovision dates of May/June and December.

[Josiah.]

Remember, even if you did not choose a country or a song; you can still send in your 2 sets of points (I'm looking at you Morgan).

[Josiah.]

As of last night, I have received the jury points and televoting points of Brazil, Denmark, France, Ghana, and Norway.

[Denver]

When the deadline for voting

[Josiah.]

6:00pm GMT on Saturday

[Denver]

I'll vote tomorrow then as I have a free day

[Cherie]

will vote tomorrow as well

[Josiah.]

Countries that have voted:
• Brazil
• Denmark
• France
• Ghana
• Norway
• Philippines

Countries going to vote soon:
• Barbados
• Ireland

Countries that still need to vote:
• Australia
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• United States

[Ant.]

6:00pm GMT on Saturday

I'm guessing that'll be 7pm UK time

[Liam-]

Do you think there’s going to be a runaway winner?

[Josiah.]

Yes, because the points video won't take that much time to make anyway.

[Josiah.]

Actually, there are 2 countries that are runaways in the top 2 and they're currently separated by 8 points.

Good luck to everyone and keep voting. It's weird not receiving votes from people not participating.

[Josiah.]

Quick update with voting: as of right now, the winner has changed.

[Cherie]

did my votes do that :amazed:

[Josiah.]

Yes, Cherie. And I am still waiting for other votes from those participating and those not participating. Voting closes at 6:00pm GMT (7:00pm BST) tomorrow.

[Cherie]

Yes, Cherie. And I am still waiting for other votes from those participating and those not participating. Voting closes at 6:00pm GMT (7:00pm BST) tomorrow.

ahhhh thanks Josiah

[Amy Jade]

Do I have to vote?

[Josiah.]

A little over half of the countries (7 out of 12) have voted so far. If I could have everyone's votes by 6:00pm GMT (7:00pm BST) tomorrow.

If all votes are not in by 7pm BST tomorrow, the 5 countries that have not voted will have their jury points and televoting points be aggregated results (average of the votes from other countries).

[Josiah.]

Yes Amy, yes you do.

[Josiah.]

Ladies and gents, there are 16 hours and 30 minutes until voting closes.

[Josiah.]

4 and a half hours left to vote. The voting is getting even tighter now that Australia's voted.

[Josiah.]

Since I am most likely not going to receive any more votes between now and 7pm, I have resorted to using aggregated results for both sets of points from Barbados, Canada, and the US.

[Strictly Jake]

I took averages of the points of each country that have good relations or are in close proximity to said countries. So for example, the UK's points were based on the points of Ireland, Denmark, and Norway.

I was just about to mark

Well, you can get your points in and we'll go from there.

I'm just saying.

[Josiah.]

So, without any "Rigga Morris", you have 1 hour to send in your points.

[Amy Jade]

Vote Australia!

[Josiah.]

About 20 minutes left to vote... and I really do not want to have to replace Kate's votes, Alf's votes, and Calderyon's votes with aggregated results (just think back to ESC 2019 and Belarus's jury votes in the final... after the vote correction).

[Ant.]

If you don't want to, do you have to?

[Josiah.]

TiBB, STOP VOTING NOW!

Voting is now officially closed and the results will be presented in an hour's time. Good luck everyone.

[Josiah.]

The video is still being made due to PowerPoint being a pain in the butt. Please wait a few minutes. Thank you.

[Josiah.]

In the meantime whilst the results video is exporting:

For this first edition, I initially wasn't much. But to see the amount of people that did participate, it's fantastic. A HUGE thank you to Riley (Wizard) for coming up with the idea, and thank you all for helping me make it a reality.

Congratulations Amy and Australia! See you on the Gold Coast in December!

thank you so much for voting! kylie and I are thrilled!

[Strictly Jake]

I didn't fare too badly I suppose

[Alf]

Did I finish 4th? I didn't even do anything, I didn't choose a song, I didn't vote. My song was awful, and was easily the worst of the lot.

Strange game to me, I didn't get it at all. But I do admire the way you put the video parts together.

[Josiah.]

Again, congrats Amy; and congratulations everyone. Be happy that you all participated, and be proud to have given TiBB a taste of the music you listen to a lot.

[Calderyon]

4th place without doing much at all?

This might become my favorite game of all.
