Very happy for Ukraine though, they deserve it. --- Let's make biscuits! <cite>Funkydog posted [p:965038387] in The Final ... [t:80020611]...</cite> <quote>2nd place.

SgtBash 05/14/22 7:09:32 PM #55:	Yeah congratulations to Ukraine, at least we were 2nd which is our best result in ages. I just wonder who'll be the host for it next year as I'm not sure about Ukraine being able to. Perhaps there'll be a bidding process and a host will be selected. --- Roboteers, stand by <cite>SgtBash posted [p:965038476] in The Final ...

SgtBash 05/14/22 7:41:37 PM #58:	I suggested elsewhere a 25 Country Worldvision Song Contest Basically it'd be the same format as Eurovision but 5 performers each from Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific (Australia would compete here) Caribbean & Europe would compete. All nations would be eligible to vote but there would still be the rule where you can't vote for your own country. In order to speed the voting up you could easily have it so that instead of having spokesperson they just show all the results as they go through each country. I'd also introduce a rule whereby the song must be performed in the national language of the country they represent, I like hearing foreign languages and it would be much better than them singing in English unless it's their native language like Australia & UK. Timezones it would be held at 8pm UK time, if it's held in the States then if LA hosts, the start time would be 12pm PT or the 8pm UK equivalent when clocks change. If it's held in NY then the start time would be 3pm ET or like LA adjust for clock change so that the event always starts at 8pm in the UK. If Australia or NZ got it then times would adjusted to the 8pm UK rule. --- Roboteers, stand by <cite>SgtBash posted [p:965039078] in The Final ...

Tom Clark 05/15/22 7:07:20 AM #66:	spikethedevil posted... Its weird considering how meh our song was this year. It was a fairly decent song, but his performance last night elevated it a bit: it was the best he'd done it so far, and I'm absolutely buzzing for him coming second. Ukraine absolutely deserved the win, theirs was incredible. Looking at the maths I think they must have got 12 points from almost every country in the public vote. What a moment! Sweden was fantastic, too, I would have liked to see them in the Top 3. The one that I'm surprised didn't do so well was Moldova, they were one of my favourites. --- http://i.imgur.com/6eF0W.gif <cite>Tom Clark posted [p:965048341] in The Final ...
