OG Kalavision (No longer taking place)

[Lucille]

The 1000 post milestones are a bit meaningless when posters are hitting them WEEKLY.

 

[Soldi]

is she trying to shade me?

Excuse me love I gave you POINTS

The 1000 post milestones are a bit meaningless when posters are hitting them WEEKLY.

milestones are very much PERSONAL considering for most of this year I was making around TEN posts a WEEK!

 

[Beverley]

Excuse me love I gave you POINTS

FORGIVEN! But don't expect me to give you the same thing TWICE!

 

[Soldi]

FORGIVEN! But don't expect me to give you the same thing TWICE!

Wait did you even VOTE FOR ME? I can’t be arsed to CHECK

 

[octophone]

Even I still have nightmares about @octophone ’s commentary. Are you in therapy right now?

Hey, I'm having a rough lockdown (*plays keyworker card*)

 

[dmlaw]

We're picking ten countries?

And ten songs. This whole thing is going to last 30 hours straight.

 

[D5K]

If someone doesn't feel strongly about a specific country can they just PASS when it's their turn and move to the back of the queue to choose at the end?

 

[ButterTart]

And ten songs. This whole thing is going to last 30 hours straight.

This needs to be renamed Kala Sanremo.

 

[Soldi]

This needs to be renamed Kala Sanremo.

Participants to be BANNED if they leave the thread more than ONCE every SIX HOURS. VIVA KALA

 

[Alla]

This needs to be renamed Kala Sanremo.

Bravissimo! And he can host in Italian, it makes sense.

That this thread is already 13 pages long is an absolutely delightful omen for what is sure to be one of Moopy’s greatest dramas

Anyone who has their mind set on a certain country but end up at the bottom of the list... There will be tears. And blood.https://www.moopy.co.uk/data/avatars/m/4/4896.jpg?1587926320

ASFM really was just a delicate starter.

I don’t see why, there are only a few rules and it’s all very easy to follow.

[ILL ADVISED]

My choice of singer is American but has German and Polish parents. The songwriter is American but has Italian parents

So.... I can enter for USA, Poland, Germany or Italy??

 

[win_the_game]

So much drama over a song contest!

I hope you all realise you're only competing to win this colourful glass horror, set in a decorative shell of handcrafted walnut.

 

[Lucille]

We must do a Eurovision trophy rate at some point

Where did you get this Sailor Moon replica from

 

[Zu]

I have one song I really want to enter but I can't find the radio edit ANYWHERE online, only the 6 minute version and I know you lot throw a hissy fit at anything being over 3:30

Oh just send it. We’re not ALL basic! Also, if people’s minds drift off to thinking about Genghis’s (or Chiara’s @VoR ) sex parts after three minutes, you don’t WANT their votes!

This is the sort of thing I'm looking at So if you're NICE you'll go for Poland because that's the least likely one that anyone else would want.

 

[ButterTart]

Not that I'm taking this too far, but I now have multiple songs for seven different countries, all of which I love and am confident I would do atrociously with. All of this effort is going to feel so utterly redundant when I panic and submit Step Inside Love with a desperate lie that Cilla Black was a quarter Honduran.

 

[Lucille]

Omg I hope most of my countries are taken as my shortlist is becoming ANYTHING BUT.

She died in Spain

Deserved.

Yet, you could legitimately use India due to the songwriters famous three month retreat in 1968...?

 

[ButterTart]

Deserved.

I hope she's looking up at us now and realises that lying there cooking on that patio for hours will all have been worth it if she helps me win a chat lounge song contest.

I've just googled this. It was written by BEATLES?

A Beatle (Paul) but credited to Lennon-McCartney

My problem right now is just finding out where some of my shortlisted singers were BORN, let alone their parents or the songwriters

I have managed to find a rather MENIAL link to one of my artists via a defunct MYSPACE page under a previous moniker which I'm wholeheartedly prepared to use

 

[Superstylin']

I've been obsessing over a song i found last week but unfortunately it'll be likely one of the in demand countries so i'll probably end up having to save it for another ASFM where any country goes.

That said, most of my backups are also going to be first chosen i imagine so I need to start looking for a backup from a more niche country

 

[Iguana]

I wonder if the obvious counties just won't get picked because everyone is SCRAMBLING for something obscure

 

[cwej]

I thought we were just going to be given a country originally and was just going to wait and research that country - thought that would be quite fun to learn about a country I don't know much about, look at their Spotify charts and explore.

I'm hopeful that this is the direction that Kalavision 2: Kala's Revenge will take us in

 

[Iguana]

@nerys has changed his vote without explanation. Must be mafia

 

[ButterTart]

I thought this. Is anyone even bothering to try for the UK, USA or Sweden?

 

[Raining on Me]

I'm trying to take this approach anyway. If you go with songs you love, you have to hope there's a connection to an obscure country so you get your choice. Or you send a song you like but maybe not love, just because it has that obscure connection rather than actually wanting to send it.

And if you do get a main country, it feels like the pressure will be to send something seriously amazing lest the very very 'arsh scrutinizing eyes of Kalavision contestants rain FIRE down upon you.

Being a bit more adventurous seems more in the spirit of things here.

*sends unlistenable tat*

 

[ButterTart]

I just want to KNOW now if I can have the country I want. Once I've got that locked in, I can stop listening to terrible Serbian turbo-folk just to be on the safe side.

Oh God we're going to have to listen to some absolute dreck when people panic choose entries that weren't their first choice aren't we

You were going to have to listen to dreck whatever I chose. There's a song I keep coming back to that's definitely #fun4BT and might be a bit much for mass consumption. Really want to send it, though.
