Liam has sent his songs in. Calderyon and Adam (WickedSkengMan), I need your songs in as soon as possible.

[Calderyon]

I have sent my entries to you.

Please let me know if there are any problems with them.

[Josiah.]

Calderyon, there are no problems.

Also, Semi-Final 2 is now completed in terms of songs. Now we're waiting on Adam (WickedSkengMan) to send in his songs, which would complete both the final and the first semi-final.

[Calderyon]

Please update the OP, Josiah.

And in preparation, and having a bit of fun making graphics, here is the example of what the song graphics will look like:

[Josiah.]

Adam (WickedSkengMan), if you are reading this, please send in your songs by the end of the day so I can create the videos for the semi-finals.

[TwentyOneThrones]

Wait is it too late to join

[Josiah.]

No, Lewis, it is not too late (even if your entries are in at 1 or 2am).

[Josiah.]

And with Lewis sending in his 4 songs to me (even though it was over Skype), we now have a record breaking 35 countries this edition.

We were literally chatting there it was the easiest thing lmaoo

[Josiah.]

I have put the links to the first 4 editions in the OP, just to glance back whilst we're all stuck in lockdown (and they are all colour-coded to the font colours in each edition's OP).

[Nicky91]

so tonight are the semi finals, and then vote will open?

[Josiah.]

Yes Nicky. Semi-Finals will be tonight, then voting will be open for the 3 and a half days, and then the results of the semi-finals on Saturday. Then we repeat the process for the final next week.

[Josiah.]

Because of the editing of the videos, we will start this promptly at 9pm. And instead of having 2 separated surveys for the televoting of each semi-final, both televoting polls will be in one survey in order to streamline the process.

[Josiah.]

Semi-Finals coming shortly... Semi-Final 2 is uploading to Google Drive.

Also, we have a Discord server! Just click this link (https://discord.gg/sqHFFX), and you'll get to join in the conversation about TiBB Music Festival (and maybe help plan the sixth edition).

[Josiah.]

Good evening Manchester! Welcome to the Semi-Finals.




(click the pictures to watch the videos, and then come back to this post to view voting details)

————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

Just as stated in the videos, you can vote by sending me a private message as well as by the survey listed below.

FOR JURY VOTING: You must send in 1 set of 4-8, 10, and 12 points. You cannot under any circumstance vote for your own country. If you are participating with more than one country, please send all votes in one PM, and please have some differences between your sets of votes. If you are participating as China, Philippines, or United States, you must vote in the first semi-final. If you are Czech Republic, South Korea, or United Kingdom, you must vote in the second semi-final. If you do not vote, for the first time since the semi-final of the third edition, your jury votes will be replaced by aggregated results (I'm looking at you WickedSkengMan).

FOR TELEVOTING: Click the picture (re-used from last edition) below to go to the survey. You will be able to vote for the 3, 4, or 5 countries from each semi-final that you want to see in the final. Because of changes on Crowdsignal's end, you can vote as many times as you want (but I would rather you vote once per device). You will be able to vote for your own country.

Voting closes at 5:00pm BT on Friday.

Good luck to all and...

TiBB, START VOTING NOW!



(Due to time constraints on my end, the Spotify playlist won't be available until the end of the week.)

[Josiah.]

Hopefully you all have watched the videos and voted, because I am seeing an incomplete response of no votes for the survey from Finland.

[Calderyon]

Voted in the tele poll.

[Josiah.]

I have unfortunately come to the decision that if you do not vote, for the first time since the semi-final of the third edition, your jury votes will be replaced by aggregated results, because someone (who will remain nameless) forgot to vote 2 editions in a row.

Also, in case no one noticed... TiBB Music Festival has a Discord server! Just click this link (https://discord.gg/sqHFFX), and you'll get to join in the conversation about TiBB Music Festival (and maybe help plan the sixth edition).
