TiBB Music Festival: Auckland 18 // And the winner is... (pg. 12)

[Benjamin]

Good vid, Josiah. :clap1:

Going to give all the songs one last full listen through before I firm up my votes.

[Josiah.]

Thanks Ben.

This has probably my favourite of all the Parade of Nations sequences, since I overlaid the graphics overtop the video for "Clarence".

[Benjamin]

You did a brilliant job. Looking forward to the final results vid.

[Barry.]

[Ammi]

…that’s such a great production, Josiah…you’ve really done an excellent job in putting the songs together…:lovedup:….

[Benjamin]

My votes will be with you soon.

[Kate!]

Eh?? I thought we could vote until next Friday.

[Benjamin]

Eh?? I thought we could vote until next Friday.

The final has always been the 25th. :laugh:

[Kate!]

The final has always been the 25th. :laugh:

I asked Josiah when we could vote until and he said Friday??

God's sake.

[Benjamin]

I asked Josiah when we could vote until and he said Friday??

God's sake.

Oh wait I think we’re both confused LOL. The votes are open until this Friday.

I thought you meant next Friday (as in the Friday after this one).

I think you’re confused as the thread title says Grand Final tonight (think Josiah forgot to update the last part the title from the semi final yesterday). :laugh:

[Josiah.]

Yeah, voting is open until Friday. Sorry for any confusion.

[Kate!]

I've checked with Josiah. We CAN vote until Friday.

[Kate!]

Yes.

[Ammi]

…:laugh:..I’ll get onto voting this week, I promise…I could have done some this afternoon and then got too engrossed in BB chat but I’ll focus myself on this….

I had mine on my headphones whilst in the BB section. Something glorious listening to ‘Driving Like a Cunt’ whilst debating about housemates so passionately lol.

…I loaned my EarPods to Mr Ammi because he lost one of his so I would have had to listen with it playing out loud, so he has mine somewhere…and as he has some people in the next room, that probably wasn’t a great plan for me…

[Ammi]

…that’s actually why I’ve been time wasting on here so much this afternoon…

…it’s so much quicker and generally lovelier experience after I just binned your choices without listening to them…I mean, it’s obviously what I always do but I’d forgotten the feel-good it was…

[Josiah.]

In regards to the voting results video, I have a question: Do you think that I should keep the current voting music (ESC 2022), or should I use the voting music from this year's Eurovision?

Kate and I were chatting about it, and she likes an idea I had of using the current music for the jury voting and switching to the ESC 2025 music for the televoting.

[Benjamin]

Keep the same for both imo.

[Ammi]

…yeah I think, keep the same as well because 8 voting sets is a lot but all being the same allows us to get into a groove, which is good…for me it helps the flow when I’m voting so as not to get confusing and be distracted by which method I’m voting…there is just one thing that I was thinking when I was voting/…it’s cool if it’s not possible but with the little Spotify edit thing…would it be possible to also add the country as well, or is that just not possible on Spotify and it just allows for the song title and artist…?…for me it’s just easier to always have the country as well because that’s what we vote on…/…the countries…it’s fine though if it can’t be done….

[Benjamin]

How the votes coming along?

[Josiah.]

We have received votes from 16 of the 33 countries.

[Ammi]

…:love:…am I good to go/complete with my votes, Josiah…should I be crossed…?…

[Vanessa]

Omg I completely forgot. On it

[Josiah.]

…:love:…am I good to go/complete with my votes, Josiah…should I be crossed…?…

Yep. You're all set.

[Ammi]

Yep. You're all set.

…thank you, sir…:love:..

[Kate!]

I've just finished sending my votes to Josiah.

[Benjamin]

I've just finished sending my votes to Josiah.

:clap1:

[Kate!]

Has anyone still not voted?

[Josiah.]

TiBB, stop voting now!

Barry, Mock, and Nicky have not voted in the final, and therefore will have their votes replaced with a result based on the top 10 of the televoting.

[Benjamin]

Fair. We had plenty of time.

My apologies Josiah.

I had completely forgot.:blush:

[Ammi]

…Barry, Mock and Nicky were all going to give my countries their top points as well…that’s a bummer…

[Barry.]

So sorry I’ve been busy I can do it tonight if I get the chance if not I apologise

[Benjamin]

So sorry I’ve been busy I can do it tonight if I get the chance if not I apologise

I think he’s done the video now for it all as the results are tonight. :laugh:

[Josiah.]

Pulling the results to 5.30pm because why not...
Kia ora. I present to you the winner!

Congratulations to both the winner of the 18th TiBB Music Festival, and to the runner-up for keeping things very tight and exciting until the very end. Like last edition, the winner kept flipping back and forth until the final votes were sent in.

An all around great edition, and hopefully the 19th edition makes things a lot more fun.

Full results will be on the website either later tonight or tomorrow. The wiki-tables will be posted on the wiki page in the coming days.

And so as to not spoil anything out in the open, I ask you to please post your reactions to the results using spoilers.

[Benjamin]

Congrats Jones. :clap1:

I really liked Germany. It was the last song to win me over before the semi-finals, I hadn’t given it much time before then. It scored well with me.

And yay for taking 2nd and 3rd. Hahaha at Australia coming 3rd. :joker:

My personal faves (other than mine) were:

* Ireland (I had hoped this would win)
* Germany
* Tonga
* Poland
* Turkey

Germany did grow on me, and it's understandable why it ended up winning. I am very happy that my highest-placing this edition was 9th place with South Korea, but it shows how things can go with the voting.

I will post the general results of the semi-final here shortly.

[Benjamin]

Also if anyone notices my votes when they’re added, I never vote for well known songs - sorry Wales, England, South Korea and Spain.

Thank you. I liked the song a lot.

[Benjamin]

Thank you. I liked the song a lot.

I’ve never heard of them before. They have a fair few great tracks.

[Benjamin]

Also really surprised at Sweden doing so badly. I personally hate that song (sorry Nicky) but thought most others would love it. Clearly I was wrong. :laugh:

[Josiah.]

When is the next edition btw? January?

Yep. Next edition in January.

[Benjamin]

Yep. Next edition in January.

Perfect.

how is it interesting that Bulgaria led the semi's, since VICTORIA would've won eurovision if not for the covid pandemic ;)

[Benjamin]

As in she led the semi’s but finished 6th in the final.

[Josiah.]

Now that it has been a week since the conclusion of the eighteenth edition, I have some news about the nineteenth edition.

To start, I have tweaked the graphics just a smidge, along with updating all typefaces to Gotham. In addition, I will also be having all of the next edition's shows on Sundays due to my work schedule changing starting on 5 November, as well as it being on an extended time-table.

Also, cities in the running to host TiBBMF19 are... Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Hamburg.

[Ammi]

…Sunday shows sound perfect, Josiah…and looking forward to seeing your tweaked graphics…:love:..

[Benjamin]

Just realised it’s 8 weeks away lol.

Can we select/confirm countries now?

[Josiah.]

Just realised it’s 8 weeks away lol.

Yes. I'll set up the thread shortly.

Thread for the nineteenth edition is now posted.
