Which is correct and goes a long way to restoring the dignity of both the round and the forum in general.Yohanna takes the lead!

I mean the other thing is it's rarely about INFERRING meaning, they do TEND TO EXPLAIN what it's a metaphor for at some pointThat's what they want you to think.
Modern art is good. Modern art is not some chancer mumbling over a vague beat whilst prancing around in his Mum's curtains with spoons glued to his face.Modern art is GOOD
I'm going to look at a picture of a nice boring horse this is art
191. I was thinking of popping the top 10 through instead.I think we should have as many through from this round as possible rather than cutting it off with an arbitrary percentage figure. How many finalists do we already have?
BOTH!Still in two minds about the final vote.
Either
1. Rate them all!
Or
2. Pick a top 50 giving top points Eurovision style to your 10 faves of those.
OmgBOTH!
YES.BOTH!
This was the runaway winner, but Jamala was on the judging panel and asked a cunty question about the Crimea because she hates music and just wants to gob on about politics all the time. Somehow that led to Maruv and Ukraine withdrawing from Eurovision that year.They picked the right winner.
That was a couple of years later. It won the national selection but Jamala vetoed it going to Eurovision because the singer was insufficiently ideologically pure.They picked the right winner.
Jamala wasn't quite responsible for that - more the Ukrainian government (then desperately trying and failing to get re-elected) and the TV station strongarming her into signing a contract which would have forbidden her from performing in Russia, her biggest market, and Maruv refusing.This was the runaway winner, but Jamala was on the judging panel and asked a cunty question about the Crimea because she hates music and just wants to gob on about politics all the time.

It's about the horror of mobile phone addiction. He's making a point about having something silly stuck to your face. "You think this is silly? How is it all that different?"Modern art is good.

What business would I have in a theatre?Buttertart leaves theatre furious because Godot never showed up.
I'm not certain this is quite it but I like the idea of somehow combining "rate" results and "vote" results that are equally weighted. A simple rate on its own doesn't let you reward your favourite songs enough - after all in normal Eurovision scoring your favourite song gets over 20% of all of your point allocation.YES.
We will then have rate results and Eurovision results. The top 100 in each will be given points with 100 points for first place down to 1 point for 100th place. These are then combined for the final result.
I don't even know if that's a serious suggestion.
The majority of modern mobile phone useage doesn't actually involve talking on the phone, so it's a fatally flawed metaphor at best.It's about the horror of mobile phone addiction.

That is NOT what you saidWork it out for me and I'll make it work.
This is a SHARED ART INSTALLATION
What?That is NOT what you said
If you have a literal 50/50 weighting between rating and standard voting, it's almost certainly going to lead to an overblown landslide for the winner, because the song that got the highest rating *and* the song that gets the most points are likely going to be one and the same. In a rating the vast majority of songs get 'points' of some sort - in standard voting, something getting 1 point means it's one of your favourites. As such you need to find a way to bridge that gap.There are basically two main things to decide:
1. the relative weighting of 'normal voting' vs. rating (based on his post above I think Madison prefers 100% rate, I personally would prefer 100% standard voting; 50/50 might be a reasonable compromise)
2. how many songs to give points to in the normal voting section
After that it's pretty much just maths. We don't need to complicate things with thresholds for multipliers or anything like that.
