I know songs not in English tend not do well but I really enjoyed Nicky’s choices (except Netherlands)


Minus when I won in Finnish

Great job winner, and thank you Josiah for the lovely work you do

Yeah, it’s such a risk. But it does pay off a you’ve shown.

I really loved your Slovakian entry this time.

Josiah. 28-02-2025 07:52 PM

The only songs solely in a foreign language to have won so far are "Tanımam" and "Cicciolina". "Lovesick Girls" was mostly in Korean, but had a fair amount of English in it.

I really loved your Slovakian entry this time.

I found the song on the movie Hostel, I love that soundtrack and I always wanted to put a song from there on here. I should of voted for it myself, maybe it would of made 9t through :bawling:

Ahhh, didn’t realise it’s from there! Good find. :clap1:

Yeah, most chucked some points to their own songs. I think it was defo an acquired taste though that song (even though I did love it) but great punt to try as it could have worked.

for next edition i'm gonna try something different, majority of my entries through internal selections, but i'm thinking of doing a national final for Germany (i have quite a wide selection of songs i like there) and i need to show more commitment to this, after the criticism i received from other players this edition

I’ve got a playlist of potential songs which I add to until it’s time to choose. :laugh:

Benjamin 10-03-2025 08:04 PM

Think I’ve settled on the countries I will represent next edition. Had to give up one of my usual three as two made the auto qualifiers so excited to see what someone does with the one I’ve not chosen.

Josiah. 17-03-2025 09:47 PM

Announcement about the next edition:

After corresponding with Ben through private messages (as he had a question about when country selection for the next edition opens), I am informing you all that the thread for TiBB Music Festival: Auckland 17 will be posted towards the end of April (most likely the day after Easter).

This gives the rest of us time to figure out countries and songs and for Nicky to do the national selection he is planning on doing.

In addition, the song & artist announcement pictures will look like these (just with the artist photos and song info):

Fabulous Josiah!

:love:

Benjamin 24-03-2025 06:04 AM

I’ve decided to take on 4 different genres this time to keep the contest nice and varied. I’ve also looked at songs in their native languages. :dazzler:

…it’s a bit frustrating because I can’t look at songs/artists very much until I know which countries are being taken by others…

Nicky91 24-03-2025 07:35 AM

#BanGeorgia from this fan contest indefinitely too, same as Russia, Belarus

I’m just putting a list together for now, and will finalise my songs once I know the countries.

Benjamin 24-03-2025 08:02 AM

We could always twist Josiah’s arm now to let us choose our countries now to give loads of time to find songs ready for the deadline.

…ahhh, I might do that also …but then if there was one that I totally loved and someone else took the country, I might have to fight them to the death…and that’s not really the spirit of Eurovision that Josiah is hoping for, he’s all about the love…

…see I was thinking that also but you weren’t afraid of actually saying it…it would be nice if we could just begin our preparation and search time now…
