Good to see USA was still 2nd. Interesting Bulgaria led the semi’s and Ireland so low. And Finland/Japan!

Also if anyone notices my votes when they’re added, I never vote for well known songs - sorry Wales, England, South Korea and Spain.

I’ve never heard of them before. They have a fair few great tracks.

[Benjamin]

Also really surprised at Sweden doing so badly. I personally hate that song (sorry Nicky) but thought most others would love it. Clearly I was wrong.

how is it interesting that Bulgaria led the semi's, since VICTORIA would've won eurovision if not for the covid pandemic

As in she led the semi’s but finished 6th in the final.

Now that it has been a week since the conclusion of the eighteenth edition, I have some news about the nineteenth edition.

To start, I have tweaked the graphics just a smidge, along with updating all typefaces to Gotham. In addition, I will also be having all of the next edition's shows on Sundays due to my work schedule changing starting on 5 November, as well as it being on an extended time-table.

Also, cities in the running to host TiBBMF19 are... Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Hamburg.

[Ammi]

…Sunday shows sound perfect, Josiah…and looking forward to seeing your tweaked graphics…..

[Benjamin]

Just realised it’s 8 weeks away lol.

Can we select/confirm countries now?
