TiBB Music Festival: Manchester 05
21, 25, 26 April, & 1 May 2020

Official Wikia: Click Here! (https://channel-tibb.fandom.com/wiki/TiBB_Music_Festival_05)

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. In August, we were in Pittsburgh, then to the Gold Coast in October, in Belgrade back in January, and last month, we were in Oslo. Cut to later this month and the second day of next month, and we'll be in Manchester saying "Give Me a Higher Love!" What songs will be heard? Where are the constant translations into French? When will the madness end? No idea.

Past editions of TiBB Music Festival:
Pittsburgh 01 - (Winner: Australia, ceremony starts p.4) (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=360098)
Gold Coast 02 - (Winner: Serbia, ceremony starts p.2) (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361665)
Belgrade 03 - (Winner: Norway, ceremony starts p.4) (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=363207)
Oslo 04 - (Winner: United Kingdom, ceremony starts p.2) (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=364908)

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

RULES
- If you want to take part, reply to this thread with the countries you want! But please, if you do reserve a country, I expect an entry.
--From this edition onwards, everyone can choose 2-7 countries to participate as.
- 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 between two and seven countries.
- Entries must be submitted to me as soon as possible. The events of the contest will take place over the course of a 2 week period.
- And for the first time since Globalvision, countries that are not in Europe or Australia will be able to participate.
- For the first time (in order to cut down on editing one video), there will be two semi-finals, and they will be posted on the same day.

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.

Like last edition, the Big 6 (the top 6 of the previous edition) will all qualify for the final. All of the countries mentioned below will be free game (sans all of the ones I have, because some things never change with me, and because of the nature of the new participation rule).

We were literally chatting there it was the easiest thing lmaoo

[Josiah.]

I have put the links to the first 4 editions in the OP, just to glance back whilst we're all stuck in lockdown (and they are all colour-coded to the font colours in each edition's OP).

[Nicky91]

so tonight are the semi finals, and then vote will open?

[Josiah.]

Yes Nicky. Semi-Finals will be tonight, then voting will be open for the 3 and a half days, and then the results of the semi-finals on Saturday. Then we repeat the process for the final next week.

[Josiah.]

Because of the editing of the videos, we will start this promptly at 9pm. And instead of having 2 separated surveys for the televoting of each semi-final, both televoting polls will be in one survey in order to streamline the process.

[Josiah.]

Semi-Finals coming shortly... Semi-Final 2 is uploading to Google Drive.

Also, we have a Discord server! Just click this link (https://discord.gg/sqHFFX), and you'll get to join in the conversation about TiBB Music Festival (and maybe help plan the sixth edition).

[Josiah.]

Good evening Manchester! Welcome to the Semi-Finals.

(click the pictures to watch the videos, and then come back to this post to view voting details)

————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

Just as stated in the videos, you can vote by sending me a private message as well as by the survey listed below.

FOR JURY VOTING: You must send in 1 set of 4-8, 10, and 12 points. You cannot under any circumstance vote for your own country. If you are participating with more than one country, please send all votes in one PM, and please have some differences between your sets of votes. If you are participating as China, Philippines, or United States, you must vote in the first semi-final. If you are Czech Republic, South Korea, or United Kingdom, you must vote in the second semi-final. If you do not vote, for the first time since the semi-final of the third edition, your jury votes will be replaced by aggregated results (I'm looking at you WickedSkengMan).

FOR TELEVOTING: Click the picture (re-used from last edition) below to go to the survey. You will be able to vote for the 3, 4, or 5 countries from each semi-final that you want to see in the final. Because of changes on Crowdsignal's end, you can vote as many times as you want (but I would rather you vote once per device). You will be able to vote for your own country.

Voting closes at 5:00pm BT on Friday.

Good luck to all and...

TiBB, START VOTING NOW!

(Due to time constraints on my end, the Spotify playlist won't be available until the end of the week.)

[Josiah.]

Hopefully you all have watched the videos and voted, because I am seeing an incomplete response of no votes for the survey from Finland.

[Calderyon]

Voted in the tele poll.

[Josiah.]

I have unfortunately come to the decision that if you do not vote, for the first time since the semi-final of the third edition, your jury votes will be replaced by aggregated results, because someone (who will remain nameless) forgot to vote 2 editions in a row.

Also, in case no one noticed... TiBB Music Festival has a Discord server! Just click this link (https://discord.gg/sqHFFX), and you'll get to join in the conversation about TiBB Music Festival (and maybe help plan the sixth edition).

[Calderyon]

Do my votes count?

Were there any problems?

[Josiah.]

All your votes counted.

[Josiah.]

I must also mention that we have had 5 different vote sets for the televoting. Keep it coming, and for those that haven’t voted, please do so soon.

[Josiah.]

Also, a question: Would you like the songs for the final to be shown in full-length due to the lack of playlist, as well as having a normal grand final feel (including postcards)?

[TwentyOneThrones]

Voting is now closed.

[Josiah.]

Voting has now closed. I received votes from 26 of 35 countries (5 of 7 members participating), which means the remaining 9 countries will have their results done via aggregated results.

[Josiah.]

Semi-Final results will be posted tomorrow.

[Josiah.]

I've modified the schedule a bit, and to deal with more time for voting, I have moved the final up to tomorrow.

[TwentyOneThrones]

[Calderyon]

Sent my votes to you few minutes ago.

[Josiah.]

Cald, you are the first person I know to have sent in their points for the final before the final is even posted (or made).

[Josiah.]

The final is exporting to my computer right now, and its going to take a little over an hour to export.

[Josiah.]

Update: the export to my computer is done. Now the video is exporting to Google Drive.

[Calderyon]

You could do a YouTube playlist instead.

[Josiah.]

I know, but I really wanted to give a Eurovision feel to this edition, especially since ESC would’ve happened later next month.

[Calderyon]

It's better than nothing.

[Josiah.]

yup.

[Josiah.]

With how the jury voting is right now, with 12 out of 35 countries having voted, and with 3 responses to the televoting, we have really high point numbers (like the current first place, which is bound to change, currently has over 500 points).

Please send in your jury votes as soon as possible (unless you're Calderyon who sent them in last night).

[Calderyon]

Are you doing the Youtube playlist of the songs?

[Nicky91]

voted

[Josiah.]

Are you doing the Youtube playlist of the songs?

Not yet. I will soon.

[Josiah.]

Alas, the Spotify playlist for the final!
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0eBqlTm52nyUQ3H67RlWY5?si=ziEdJ28HTWSF7rSIULEaXQ

Keep on voting!

[Josiah.]

Hopefully I get all of the jury votes in soon, because I don't want to wait until the last possible second on Friday for votes.

[Liam-]

I’ll vote tonight

[Josiah.]

Liam, I'm still waiting on your votes.

[Liam-]

I got distracted, you’ll have them today

[Calderyon]

The Spotify list seems to be down.

Still waiting on votes from Adam and Riley, pm’ed them and I got no answer.

You have around 17 hours left to vote.

[Josiah.]

I have received votes from everyone except for Adam and Riley (who have not responded to PMs I have sent them). If they do not vote by 5pm this evening, they will have their votes replaced with aggregated results.

[Josiah.]

Since it looks like I won't be getting Adam and Riley's jury votes, voting is now closed. If need be, I will reschedule the results video for this evening, and side note: as of right now, every single country in the final has over 100 points. (what a shocker!)

[Josiah.]

Results will be posted tonight at 8pm BT. Please join the TiBB Music Festival server on Discord (https://discord.gg/Hr8GFA), as I will be doing a live viewing party of the results.

[Josiah.]

Ladies and gents, I present to you, the winner.

Congratulations to the winner, and we will see you in the summer for the sixth edition.

Some fun facts about this edition:
#1 - First edition with 2 semi-finals.
#2 - First edition where all countries in the final receive final scores over 100 points.
#3 - First edition where the video for one of the shows (specifically the final) is over an hour long.
#4 - Second edition without a host.
#5 - Second edition where a country receives 'nul points' in one of the sections of voting.
• In the first semi-final, Mozambique got 0 points in the jury voting, and North Macedonia got 0 points in the televoting.
#6 - First contest since the first edition where the winning country performs last in the final.

[Calderyon]

3rd place is not bad.

[Calderyon]

Really thought that my South Korean entry would do better than my China entry.

[Liam-]
