TiBB Music Festival: Prague 11
26 August & 2 September 2023

Official Wikia: Click Here! (https://channel-tibb.fandom.com/wiki/TiBB_Music_Festival_11)

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.

Back to basics everybody! 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. I will have a Spotify playlist of all of the songs for you to listen to the songs during the voting period.

VOTING SYSTEM
The voting system from the first few editions returns. Every country will each give out two sets of 12, 10, and 8-1 points; one for the jury voting, and the other for the 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 1 to 5 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.
- Entries must be submitted to me as soon as possible. The voting portion of the contest will take place over the course of a 1 week period.
- 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 a spot in the TiBB Music Festival Hall of Fame! - 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. From now on, the UK will be split into the 4 nations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Because of the war in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia will not be selectable until further notice.

[Kate!]

Northern Ireland
Scotland

[Vanessa]

How does it work? Do you just choose a song from that country? Any song we want?

[Vanessa]

mods close this rubbish

Please stop being so mean. You don't have to take part if you don't want to.

[Vanessa]

I might take part. And why not?

[Nicky91]

Turkiye
Armenia
Netherlands
Germany
Sweden

[Nicky91]

i have 5 awesome entries if i must say, and also quite competitive entries i think

[Nicky91]

info regarding my artists

Rosa Linn: achieved global fame post-eurovision with her entry Snap in the american billboard charts as well as a huge tiktok hit

Fatih Bulut: one of his earliest songs of his career was watched well over 288 million times on youtube, his genre is pop, folk-rock, he got media attention by someone suing him for stealing one of his songs, however that case was later withdrawn

SERA: one of our newest dutch singer-songwriters, whom first achieved international fame especially in the US and also Australia before becoming more known in the own domestic charts

Lillasyster: a swedish punk-rock band who has taken part in Melodifestivalen twice now

Nino de Angelo & Sotiria: Nino, you might recognize from eurovision with the entry ''Flieger'' but recently he went more anthemic schlager rock, having gotten a deeper vocal too more thanks to his COPD medical condition, there were rumours he was gonna retire but he adapted his music to his current vocal sound and he continues to be very successful, and Sotiria is half greek, half german, and a rising star in the german music scene, she ''represented'' greece in Stefan Raab's free eurovision song contest a contest organized when ESC was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic

[Vanessa]

I will do Ireland and England.

Josiah,

Zizu and I would like to lodge a formal complaint. Seems like the Israel lobby will do anything to stop Jamaica winning.

[Josiah.]

Madonna has Italian heritage, and Colombia speaks the Spanish language. That's why.

[The Slim Reaper]

If Bono spoke Spanish, could he also be used for Spain?

[The Slim Reaper]

You've done great job with he recap vid, by the way.

[Josiah.]

I don't know. And thank you so much.

[Beso]

Voting tonight.

[Josiah.]

Hopefully people do vote, as there’s less than 48 hours to do so.

[Beso]

I've sent my votes...

[Vanessa]

I'll do it tonight.

[Nicky91]

[Beso]

All done....let's hope everyone else gets there scores in.

[Kate!]

I'll try and do it later, if I don't fall asleep.

[Josiah.]

More points are coming in, and as of right now; the margin between 1st Place and 2nd Place is 48 points. Last place (28th) has 28 points right now.

[Josiah.]

Voting closes at 6pm, so vote now or forever keep your silence!

[Josiah.]

Voting is now closed!

[Barry.]

Voting is now closed!

Who’s the interval act?

[Josiah.]

I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking it'll be Lenny.

[Beso]

Did all nations vote?

[Josiah.]

No. Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Jamaica, and Israel did not send votes in.

Kate and Slim didn't send any votes in. I'm waiting for Kate's votes, because I know she will vote; but I'm not expecting Slim to vote; so just in case, his votes have been replaced with aggregated results.

[Kate!]

Josiah, I will try my best to vote later tonight and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience x

[Josiah.]

It's okay Kate. I understand.

[Josiah.]

To give Kate enough time to vote, and given my work schedule over the weekend; I might move the results to Tuesday.

[Josiah.]

Still patiently waiting for Kate's votes.

[Kate!]

Josiah I've watched the video twice, can I have a straightforward list of the songs, I can't find one.

[Josiah.]

Kate, I sent you a PM with the songs. I've been at work all day and haven't been able to send anything.
