It is time to let the competition begin again;
and this time, it's festive! I, with Shaun's knowledge
AND Riley's (Wizard) lovely ideas, decided to create a spiritual successor to TiBB Eurovision.
After having to postpone TiBBMF Seoul 2021 until next year... we're off to San Juan for Christmas Eve! 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 TiBB Eurovision Song Contest returns. Every country will each give out one set of 12, 10, and 8-1 points; and the televoting is done in the style of the judges' voting system. Every member has anywhere from 2 points and up (in a system of 2s) to allocate to each song ranked by personal preference.
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, 2, or 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) OR create a parody of an existing OR create and original song.
- 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 2 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 are required to, but don't have to be Christmas themed, 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, as well as helping me plan next year's Christmas edition - so if that isn't motivation to bring your A-game, I don't know what is.
Unlike the normal editions, there will be no Big 6. All of the countries mentioned below will be free game (sans all of the ones I have, because some things never change with me).
