NOTE: Any and all types of negativity will not be tolerated in the slightest. This supposed to be a fun contest, P.S. Riley... You win, I put in the OP that I give you credit for the idea.

[Kate!]

What time does this start?

[Josiah.]

Kate, it starts in exactly 4 minutes.

[Kate!]

Thanks

[Josiah.]

I don't want negativity, I hope this is successful for you, I just wanted to take part but I'll take that.

[Wizard.]

And thanks Alf but you can have your spot back I don't want a song you've chosen (no offence, you have great taste).

[Josiah.]

Once again, to access the video, click the picture in Post #80.

Riley, I am extremely sorry for the conflama this evening.

[Wizard.]

I'll vote later

[Ammi]

...Josiah, the video is stunning......you’ve put it together so beautifully and with such talent...so well done, you......


...and I’m so glad that Wizard has his rightful place in the credits for helping to create such a lovely event...well done Wizard as well.....I would think the musical festival couldn’t have happened without your input and idea...

I haven't chosen any song. That's what I mean when I say, I don't know how this game works.

Are you absolutely sure you don't want my spot? Your welcome to it if you want.

[Strictly Jake]

That literally makes no sense

[Josiah.]

I chose the songs for Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the UK, and the US mainly to save time for some people like Tom who take months to send in a song.

But in terms of voting, I have graciously received the points from 2 countries.

[Josiah.]

Just in case people didn't realise that they could click on the photo in Post #80, here's the direct link to the video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AY...keYT7pjnSLk4lp

And here's the Spotify playlist:

[Ammi]

...so we submit two sets of votes of how we would score the songs ...but they both have to be different, Josiah...is that what you’re saying...?...

[Nicky91]

great songs all of them actually, also good bit of diversity


hope everyone was bopping to my Ghana song


and now the hardest bit, the voting

[Nicky91]

my Ghana jury members are

Abraham Attah - award winning child actor

Wendy Shay - Afropop and Afrobeat singer

Teddy Osei - veteran afromusic singer, founder of Osasiba (which has its 50th anniversary this year)

Strongman K - recording artist and songwriter/producer

DJ Mensah - DJ, Entrepeneur, recording artist (Head of Ghana Jury)

[Josiah.]

Yes Ammi.

[Josiah.]

From all countries that have voted so far (Brazil, Denmark, and Ghana), I received only the jury points from Ghana, so if I could receive the Ghanaian televoting points.

[Ammi]

...I watched the vid again...it really is wonderfully put together, Josiah...the voting is very harsh because there will only be one song that no points can be given for...we can only vote for 10 of the 11 songs that aren’t our own..?...

[Liam-]

I’ll do my scores tonight
