I was so sad when I missed this last time, so glad it's back! Could I have Switzerland?

[Shaun]

Sure, have added you now - that makes sixteen. Last year we managed twenty, and that was always an ambitious ask to follow but I shall be pressuring last year's participants to return

I don't like my song so far, I think it will be the worst one I've ever done.

[King Gizzard]

[Shaun]

I don't believe him guys I bet he's got a monster hit under his belt

[Withano]

I came like 80th last year with 15 people helping me. I have no hope with this solo career.

[Shaun]

on the other hand i think it was mostly because TiBB is racist, Withano, so your chances are higher than ever

..yeah, those children brought you down, Withano...this time and without them to spoil it, I think your entry will be superb...are you going to enter..?...

[Kate!]

You're safe Withano, I shall proudly claim last place and laugh at my own entry far more than anyone else probably will

How does the judging work with the entries from Judges

Haha no I won't enter this time, I'm about as creative as a grain of sand, maybe I'll get the same class to make a comeback the year after.. Timing of it doesn't really work though. Don't worry Kate, I'm gonna vote for the ones which make me laugh, so if its laughably bad I'm sure you won't be last! :P

...awww, it's a shame you're not putting an entry in and I don't believe you don't have any creative talents because rumour has it that you're a maestro of the harmonica.....

ahaha! Yes, private jokes! But you make a good point Ammi. These hands, this mouth and that harmonica can create something magical

You'll have to double check with Shaun but I think that each judge picks their top so many entries and gives them points, and obviously (I'd like to think it's obviously) a judge won't give their own entry any points. But if there's any objections then I'll not submit an entry, I'm not very good at it anyway I came last when I entered before looool.

[Kizzy]

I may enter for poor old Ukraine, everyone loves an underdog right?...

[Shaun]

The judges rank all of the songs.

Last year I gave my own song 10 out of a maximum of 20 points, and tbh I think that was more than fair. I trust Zee and Kate to be equally fair.

If it's any consolation Withano, yours is the only one I remember really clearly from all the entries last year, and that includes mine!

Exactly, definitely the most memorable entry!

And yeah as much as I love writing my entries every year I don't think I've ever once thought mine was the best, I know I'll judge all entries fairly.

[Tom4784]

I'm going to try to finish mine this weekend, haven't had much of a chance to make progress on it this week.

I'm usually pretty happy with mine until I see all the others, then it's like... Oh-oh... It's really fun to take part in though, even though I've got less chance of winning than the UK has in the real Eurovision.

I've got about six poorly-rhymed lines so far. Thank GAWD it's not for ages.
