"AKA Azaliate" |
Gonna have to pull out of the contest completely unfortunately. Despite my best efforts I'm apparently getting noticed at work and got put in charge of a project that's been eating up all my free time, and what little free time I've had during the weekends I'd rather spend doing other fun things.
Best of luck to everyone in the Summer Contest.

Also, the week's results are going to be announced about an hour late on weeks I'm hosting, because my work means I'm travelling at the time 5pm UTC rolls around. I miiight be able to get the new theme displayed in time, but that depends on whether the bus I'm on wants to have wi-fi or not)
Why not consider releasing themes and/or results early like Feraligatr did?Post #163 · Posted at 2017-05-15 02:36:59pm 6.8 years ago

Regardless of what time I'll be on to announce the new week and winners of Week 1, the deadline for votes and files is still in 70 minutes time! Get your stuff in sooner rather than later!
Right, 15 minutes early, but my bus is about to get in so I might as well shoot it out now. You're welcome.
Yep, delightfully well timed, we're going to have our own little not-Euro-Eurovision! Now, just like the EBU, there's rules you as your own country have to adhere to, so here we are:
- Your song must contain human vocals. This means no Vocaloid, and if your vocal line consists of just samples instead of actual lyrics, it don't count. It's a singing contest, after all. Like the Eurovision post-'98, there is no restrictions on language. You may pick Japanese, which I know most of you will.
- Your entry can be a maximum of 3 minutes long. Now, official rules are the last 'note' has to be before the three-minute mark, and that's the way we'll do it here.
- Your entry has to be over 2 minutes long. Not an official ESC rule, but most entries make the most of their time. As should you.
- Because of this being an ersatz ESC, you cannot choose a song that already was in a Eurovision or Junior Eurovision. Switzerland may send the same song every year, it doesn't mean you can.
All the other rules like maximum number of people on stage and that I will ignore, I'm not completely heartless.

Europe had a pretty big party last weekend, didn't it?
We can do it better.

As it's a Eurovision, points will be in French first, the Russians will complain in some way, and the interval act will be awful. Bonne chance!!

I have a song from Taiwan that's both in Chinese and Japanese that I stepped already prepared; all I have left to make is its chart and then it'll be up REALLY soon...
That is, if it ends up being over 2 minutes.
Gotta double-check that.

"Let's Do the Rain Dance" |
In other words, this is basically Long Song week with two small exclusion filters? I thought there'd be some sort of country of origin rule or "use only artists who have been in Eurovision" rule, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Nobody's Supposed To Be Here (Dance Mix) / Deborah Cox
128 BPM
1 / 3 / 6 / 8
This song is an iconic gay classic, and every time I hear it, I'm transported to another world. I suspect many gay men would absolutely agree. The powerful vocals and the intense energy of the music always empowered me as a kid and as a teen, sitting on my computer listening on headphones, dancing in my chair. These classics gave me so much energy and so much reason to exist when I was a closeted gay. This song fills me with all the joy in the world and brings me back to that empowered feeling I was not at the time able to outwardly express.

It's effectively 'Eurovision where you can choose your own country to rep'. There's nothing stopping you from doing something that someone from Eurovision did, you just can't pick the exact song.I'd really prefer in the spirit of the week that the entries were towards the latter of the range, but I'm not forcing you to.

So the theme is
-Songs that are 2 minutes to 3 minutes long
-Must have vocals
-Can't have been in Eurovision
I hope I don't come off as rude, but it feels like a 3rd free week. Will there be rounds with more of a theme?

If these three are Free Weeks, what would you class as not a Free week? I'm intentionally picking themes that aren't as restrictive as usual weeks. In other years I've noticed a distinct lack in entries as the weeks go on and get more restrictive, and ideally I want as many people entering as possible.
Also, I hate to be that guy, but we can't accept your Week 2 entry. You were 2 minutes late. Sorry, I know it's harsh, but the deadline is pretty much to the second. I've fallen victim to this too.

I wasn't trying to be rude, sorry if it came off that way, I understand why the themes are that way then.
I uploaded the file at 04:58pm, so it should be on time per this rule:

4. Entries must be uploaded by the deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS

So does the song name for the fill need to be [ZIvision] or [ZIvision Song Contest]? Thought I'd post it here since others might have the same question.
