And rewatching the 13th edition, it still amazes me that it wasn't until France voted that Scotland got its first points. The US didn't take the lead until Sweden gave its points.

Has there ever been a country getting no points in the final?

No one has received 0 points overall, but there have been times where people have received 0 points in at least 1 portion of the voting, which include:

- Mozambique - 0 points from Juries in #05's Semi-Final 1
- North Macedonia - 0 points from Televoting in #05's Semi-Final 1
- Belgium - 0 points from Televoting in #10's Semi-Final 1
- Sweden - 0 points from televoting in #10's Grand Final

We were close to having Türkiye getting nul points in last edition's Semi-Final, but they got 3 points (2 from Norway, 1 from Sweden).

Glad I gave it a point to help

Ooof, been a while though.

I might have to change the presenter of this edition, as Oriini Kaipara has been an MP in New Zealand's parliament for about a week now.

Ahh so she has.

May I recommend Rose Matafeo?

[Coldwinter]

Good choice and suggestion Ben, and she is now the presenter of the eighteenth edition.

…it’s a great feeling to have a winning country entry and know that others enjoy your song choice also……

I've added an article on the TiBBMF website about the news of the presenter change: https://sites.google.com/view/tibb-m...g-rose-matafeo

I have also tweaked the contest pages on Tibbplay by adding individual pages for each video instead of having to scroll through each contest page to find the video you want.

Better get a wriggle on @Mystic Mock. I’m ready to judge your entries like the Task master judged your entries

I will be sending my Belgium entry in at some point today.

Possibility for Serbia's too.

[Merry Mockmas]

I've submitted all of them now.

I don't think any of these songs have been done in other editions.

I'm really proud of one of my picks in particular, I feel like that it's very Eurovision.

[Merry Mockmas]

Apologies for taking so long btw.

Will take a listen when Josiah adds them and will add them to the odds.

The Belgian and Serbian songs have been added to the Spotify and YouTube playlists. I could only get the Belgian entry on the Apple Music playlist as the Serbian entry is only available on Apple Music in Europe.

Update on odds to make the final. Please don’t take this as gospel (and it’s not the order of songs I like) as I’m basing it on how previous votes have gone in the past.

Also please don’t be disheartened if yours are low, there are always songs which get through which I predicted wouldn’t.

To make the final

England - 4/5
Wales - 1/1
Sweden - 1/1
Tonga - 5/4
Ireland - 2/1
Netherlands - 5/2
USA - 5/2
Denmark - 3/1
Finland - 7/2
Germany - 4/1
Peru - 9/2
North Macedonia - 9/2
Japan - 5/1
Australia - 11/2
Czech Republic - 6/1
Liechtenstein - 7/1
Spain - 8/1
Norway - 9/1
Bulgaria - 10/1
Belgium - 12/1
Türkiye - 15/1
Slovakia - 18/1
Serbia - 20/1
Canada - 25/1
France - 33/1
Botswana - 40/1
Singapore - 50/1

It's really hard to predict other people's Music taste I think.
