It is time to let the competition begin again! I, with Shaun's knowledge AND Riley's lovely ideas, decided to create a spiritual successor to TiBB Eurovision.

Helsinki, a place where there is Unity In Motion, and where We Are One. What songs will be heard? Where are the constant translations into French? When will the madness end? No idea.

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.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54121387273_834b200532.jpg
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. The Rest of the Forum vote returns as well, but as an extra set of 12, 10, 8–1 points in the televote.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54121453364_252bfbb0df.jpg
- 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 between 1 and 3 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.

For the first time, the host country and Big 5 (the 5 countries with the highest overall average of points) 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. Because of the war in Gaza and tensions in the Middle East, Israel will not be selectable until further notice.

[Vanessa]

Sorry. Will definitely do this tomorrow. Not in the right headspace today.

[Benjamin]

Liechtenstein
Wales
New Zealand

[Benjamin]

Sorry. Will definitely do this tomorrow. Not in the right headspace today.

Hope you’re ok. Just pick 3 countries for now V, you don’t need to pick the songs yet.

[Josiah.]

OP updated.

[Kate!]

Malta
Italy
England

[jones89]

Iceland
Cyprus
Estonia

I’ve never played anything like this before btw, so i’ll just need to play it by ear and find out what’s going on :joker:

[Benjamin]

If at any point we’re allowed a 4th country let me know as I’ll take Faroe Islands too ;)

[Josiah.]

OP updated again.

[Vanessa]

Sweden, South Korea and Spain.

[jones89]

So does the music video have to be an official music video or can it be a live performance?

[Josiah.]

Either is fine.

[Nicky91]

sent my entries now


and i can say, once again i have 3 very special and very standout entries i think

[jones89]

Can you use someone who’s done Eurovision before ?

[Barry.]

Can you use someone who’s done Eurovision before ?

I did so I think it’s fine

[Barry.]

I’ll play let me think of the countries

[Benjamin]

Nobody picking an African country yet :(

[Josiah.]

I'm surprised about that and that none of the Big 5 were chosen.

[Josiah.]

bump.

[Josiah.]

The wiki page has the growing list of songs towards the top of the page.

[Josiah.]

Barry, did you think of any countries yet?

[Benjamin]

Josh’s what happens if nobody picks the big 5?

[Josiah.]

Usually in past editions of this Ben, if the Big 5 aren't chosen, I'll randomly pick songs for them; and points from them in the final are completely randomised.

[Josiah.]

Rarely do unchosen countries win. The only times they have are the 2nd edition in October 2019, and Czechia in the 10th edition last year.

[Benjamin]

Usually in past editions of this Ben, if the Big 5 aren't chosen, I'll randomly pick songs for them; and points from them in the final are completely randomised.

Oh can I take one of the Big 5 if not chosen? I have a nice song for Angola. Or if I can’t take can I suggest a song for it and not take credit for it?

[Josiah.]

You can take one of the Big 5. I was planning on doing the same thing.

[Benjamin]

You can take one of the Big 5. I was planning on doing the same thing.

:love:

Thank you. Angola for me.

[jones89]

You can take one of the Big 5. I was planning on doing the same thing.

I could also take Australia.. if i’m allowed and no one else wants

[Josiah.]

Yes, that is fine. Kate and Vanessa, if you wish to take one of the remaining Big 5 countries, you can. That is if Barry doesn't choose them.

[jones89]

Yes, that is fine. Kate and Vanessa, if you wish to take one of the remaining Big 5 countries, you can. That is if Barry doesn't choose them.

Thankyou x

[Josiah.]

I can say that the graphics are coming along real nicely.

[jones89]

I can say that the graphics are coming along real nicely.

I’m excited to see.. this is all new to me haha

[Benjamin]

I’m excited to see.. this is all new to me haha

Have you sent your songs yet? Or you still deciding?

[jones89]

Have you sent your songs yet? Or you still deciding?

[jones89]

Josiah. When do you need the songs ?

[Josiah.]

[Kate!]

Ah ok. Was just coming to check on this. I'll have them to you in time.

[Kate!]

Josiah.

[Kate!]

If I can have another country I choose Norway.

[Benjamin]

Josiah.

I've sent my 3 entries. Did you get them all? Can I take another country please?

I’m sure Josiah said you could take one of the big 5 which hasn’t yet been claimed. See a few posts up.

[Kate!]

I’m sure Josiah said you could take one of the big 5 which hasn’t yet been claimed.

Ah yes, thank you. Norway then. Picked my song already.

[Vanessa]

Omg I completely forgot about this. I have my songs already picked.

[Josiah.]

OP has been updated. Been a bit busy with cleaning to update it until now.

[Josiah.]

The running order of the songs will be released on the 30th.

And postcards for the recap are now completed.

[Nicky91]

for those wondering

who is Samu Haber, he is a coach of The Voice of Germany and last years UMK host, as welll as frontman of the finnish band Sunrise Avenue

[Vanessa]

I've sent my songs

[Josiah.]

In the midst of waiting for the final entries to be sent, I have been working on the graphics, the wiki page, and the website.

[Kate!]

Great job 👏

[Josiah.]

All songs have been submitted! Running order will be revealed this evening.

Now off to edit the video.

[Josiah.]

The video has been edited, exported, and uploaded to Google Drive. See you on Saturday!

[Josiah.]

The music fun and shenanigans begin again tomorrow at 8pm.

[jones89]

Look forward to it :dance:

[Kate!]

Can't wait to see the competition:hee:

I'm coming for you....

[Josiah.]

A couple things to go over before the recap gets posted tonight.

First, the postcards in the recap are 10 seconds long, instead of 30 seconds long like last edition. Second, there will be a "Voting Is Now Open" graphic that will appear every once in a while. And lastly, one of our hosts will get an extra bit of hosting at the end of the recap.

So prepare your snacks and drinks in time for the recap at 8pm tonight!

[Josiah.]

The voting period is almost done, just waiting on 1 more person.

But the even more fun part is that the winner has changed twice in the last 2 days. It's definitely going to be a fun results video on Saturday.

I've already listened to the songs. Will send my ranking in a bit. Sorry. I've had a nightmare with all the trains being cancelled.

Alas, another edition comes to an end, but with a result that I did not see coming.

Congratulations Vanessa, Ben, and Jones (plus the now-absent Nicky) for rounding out the Top 5.

And yes, you heard Krista right at the end of the video before the winner's reprisal. TiBB Music Festival: All-Stars is coming in January. It will have a format similar to that of Melodifestivalen's long-gone Second Chance round mixed with a little bit of regular TiBB Music Festival and TiBB Eurovision; but more on All-Stars coming in January.

Thank you to everyone who participated and/or voted. I hope this same group (sans Nicky for obvious reasons) can keep this going in the new year.

Have a wonderful rest of your night everyone.
