…fun fact:…0:23 in, that guy looks so much like David Bromstad……

Youtube video

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]

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

[Vanessa]

Omg I completely forgot. On it

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.

My apologies Josiah.

I had completely forgot.

[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

@Ammi @Barry. @Benjamin @jones89 @Kate! @Mystic Mock @Nicky91 @Vanessa

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]

Spoiler:

Congrats Jones.

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.

My personal faves (other than mine) were:

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

Spoiler:

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.
