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.

Düsseldorf, Germany — The latest city where once again TiBB Shapes Music. Welcome to Deutschland. Welcome to Düsseldorf. 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. This edition, in addition to both shows, a full length show merging both portions will be introduced as well. As songs and artists are chosen and sent to me, I will reveal them in the thread as to build up excitement and make things feel more like Eurovision. This edition, as it looks increasingly likely depending on the amount of countries, I have added dates for the semi-final and its results.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54407330004_70e4daefb1.jpg
The voting system from the first few editions returns. In the semi-final, every country's televoting will give out a set of 12, 10, 8-1 points. In the final, 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. I strongly encourage everyone to have most of, if not all of their votes be different, as to try and shut down vote rigging accusations.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54407523450_b69698d75c.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 4 countries to participate as. To those who wish to choose one of Big 6, you can only claim ONE of them.
- 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 most editions, the Big 6 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. Russia will once again be selectable as (Free) Russia. Because of the war in Ukraine, Belarus and any Russian artists supporting the war 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.

I have decided that the grand final recap will be a more-simple recap with just the 30-second snippets and simple transitions (along with the running order board). I have also decided that the full-length Grand Final show will be posted on the results day (1 February), and I've already got a few pieces of that prepared.

my entry title reveal


Germany: this must be the GOAT host entry of all time, a music legend who celebrates his 80th birthday this year, and this being a new song in his best of album Jurgen Drews - Konig Bleibt Konig

Netherlands: two at first rival bands joining forces for one song, both bands having many number 1 hit songs in their discographies, Blof & Racoon - Glas

Romania: the yodelling QUEEN from 2017 is back! but this time with more gypsy music, Ilinca Bacila & Gadjo Dilo - Ding Deng Dong

Croatia: and yes i said controversial artist, he might be an anti-vaxxer, but he is a phenomenal musician Kiki Rahimovski - Tko Nas To Razdvaja

In a statement sent to the TiBB Broadcasting Union, MRT has announced that instead of sending Susana Gavazova and her song "Ludo Mlado" to Düsseldorf, they would withdraw their participation for the nineteenth edition and instead send Gavazova for the twentieth edition later in 2026.

…I’m so sorry to mess you around, Josiah…but I’m going to have to un-take Wales and France and opt out of the edition again…I did have a song for each that I had in mind but I wasn’t completely happy so had them on hold while I looked more…but I just won’t have the time…although I don’t go away for Christmas until mid December, I just have too many commitments before that, to properly give this the attention it deserves in checking out songs etc…I’m so sorry but if you’ll have me…next season after this one…?…

So, as of right now, we have 24 countries.

And due to the North Macedonian song being saved for #20; I have decided to take on Wales, and I've already chosen a song.
