Ahh ok.

Whilst we wait until Mock sends the Belgian and Serbian entries...

I now have the results from the first edition, and all videos from the eighth edition onwards on a quietly rebranded Tibbplay; so now we can relive all the moments from those past editions.

I remember putting together the video, and I was just awestruck at how close the final points were.

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.

[Josiah.]

And to make things a bit more fun, I am deciding that due to the number of countries (33), I will be adding two more qualifiers to the final.

This means that there will be 22 countries in the final (Big 6 + 16 qualifiers), meaning 11 countries will not qualify, and not 13 like previously planned.

Happy days.

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

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?

[Josiah.]

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.

……that’s the perfect pic you’ve chosen of Rose Matafeo…

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

Possibility for Serbia's too.

[Mystic Mock]

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.

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