OG Kalavision (No longer taking place)

[Iguana]

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.

DO IT

 

[COB]

This is subject to change but at the moment most of my choices are established artists a lot of people may have heard of, with a strong link to a country rather than necessarily being representative of that country's music styles. If you don't agree with that, you don't have to vote for it (famous last words )

 

[Diddy]

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

we had to listen to some absolute dreck when people could send in anything they wanted

 

[Lucille]

Omg I might submit something MISERABLE.

 

[ButterTart]

DO IT

I need someone who isn't playing who can be my LISTENING POST. I've got probably five songs for my chosen country that are seriously in the running, and once I've whittled it down to just them I have no idea how I'm going to pick from them under my own power.

 

[OutSynk]

I’m thinking of going FUN 4 EUROPE but depending on the country might go ARTSY FARTSY instead.

 

[Alla]

Do you realise we have semifinals and half of us might never listen whatever shit you send? Just letting you know (for additional drama).

 

[Kate]

I am still dithering between 6 minute disco epic, slutty electro and campy electro.

go with your heart, it’s more fun that way

I say that the results of the semi finals shouldn't be announced until they have both been done and anyone not voting in both should be penalised.

 

[Iguana]

Good idea

 

[Kate]

SLUTTY IT IS THEN

 

[AGinAg (37)]

If I go out in the semi, it's quite likely I won't vote in the final.

I assume you would claim you are in the final anyway though just to piss off Kala

 

[Alla]

I think for anyone not making it to the final should be optional to vote in the final.

 

[Kala]

Those who fail in the SEMI will be REVEALED

This will be the case

 

[Alla]

Well OF COURSE, we are here for the DRAMA

 

[Rita]

@Kalabaliken did you say that you were starting the process TODAY earlier in the thread?

 

[Kala]

@Kalabaliken did you say that you were starting the process TODAY earlier in the thread?

Yes, just COUNTRY selections though, no need to choose a song yet!

 

[Zu]

If I go out in the semi, anyone who didn't vote for me will be receiving a complimentary box of fish heads

 

[Iguana]

Come on people, let's have a late surge of interest so we have to have 6 semi finals

 

[Alla]

That sounds better than that Alex Sparrow t-shirt full of stains, I hope I get one

 

[Zu]

I'll have you know they were VERY EXPENSIVE STAINS!

 

[Zu]

I must say that an IRAN SINGER search on YouTube has served up some truly wonderful goods, none of which will be at all popular

Who's not on the list?

@Penelope get in here now

 

[Alla]

Who's not on the list?

@David_5000

 

[OutSynk]

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.

You can still do that you know. I will actually be keeping a list of people who are all about ~exploring a new country~ so that when it turns out they’ve picked Sweden anyway I can clock them.

 

[Kate]

Kala, just in case I need to, are you allowing overseas territories/regions separately from their evil colonial overlord countries?

 

[win_the_game]

I've added a SULTRY GEM from Southern Africa and some AMAZONIAN MINIMAL TECHNO to my list this morning.

 

[Rita]

Yes, just COUNTRY selections though, no need to choose a song yet!

I shall await a PM then darling. Thanks.

Brutal

 

[Iguana]

How many times do we think Kala will have to PM people "Thanks, but I just need the country, not a song selection"?

 

[Iguana]

In fact, @Kalabaliken, how many people have already tried to email you a song selection?

 

[Kala]

How many times do we think Kala will have to PM people "Thanks, but I just need the country, not a song selection"?

44 times

 

[Kala]

In fact, @Kalabaliken, how many people have already tried to email you a song selection?

No one yet! I am AMUSED that people are thinking of songs already though.

I pity that POOR person who has a song for FRANCE or GERMANY lined up and ends up with RWANDA

 

[Rita]

Who has put POOR OLD NERYS’S nose out of joint??

 

[Alla]

Can't wait for whatever OLD SHIT @Rita submits this time

 

[Rita]

Can't wait for whatever OLD SHIT @Rita submits this time

Oh I have a FEW questionable choices up my sleeve with very questionable connections to the countries.

 

[Rita]

I think I have the song but it is the CONNECTION I am struggling with greatly.
