Festival Di Soldi - Running Order OUT

[Soldi]

RIGHT THEN. The poll is now closed and we have 37 participants, which means two semi-finals with 18/19 participants in each. Any latecomers will have to pay me a £50 fine, a bag of cheese & onion discos, and must run from De Beauvoir to Barnard Castle and back.

It also means that the submission period is now OPEN! You have until 12pm on Monday 1st June to PM me your entries and choose what country you want to participate under. No rules really but just to be clear:

• The country and song don’t need to have any link
• Don’t enter whatever was your first choice for Kalavision
• Don’t tell anyone your entry/country (@jyxz )

As for the semi-finals, I will conduct a draw on Monday afternoon/evening to decide who is taking part in which semi.

When you submit, make sure you include a YouTube video as there will be a LIVE SONG RELEASE. I’ll also put together Spotify playlists so it would help if the song is on there too but it’s not a necessity.

Sorry if you got deja vu from the other topic xx

UPDATE: We’ve now hit 40, and so I’m able to keep my sanity, no more latecomers please

Quick question... should we just submit title and artist or should we send YouTube/ Spotify links?

 

[Soldi]

Quick question... should we just submit title and artist or should we send YouTube/ Spotify links?

At least a YouTube link please, I’ll do a live YouTube playlist launch like you yourself did and will cobble together a bunch of Spotify playlists so bear that in mind when submitting!

 

[Alla]

choose what country you want to participate under

Is it ok if you give me a random country rather than choosing one?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Now I have to pick one. Plus choosing a country. It's all too much!

 

[Soldi]

Is it ok if you give me a random country rather than choosing one?

I don’t see WHY NOT but make it clear when you submit.

 

[Alla]

Sure. I prefer the excitement of "OMG which country will I get? Wait... Nazi Germany? Fuck you!"

 

[GinAg (39)]

I know people were outraged but I found it hilarious.

 

[Rita]

I HAD a song but it was not on Spotify!

 

[GinAg (39)]

I HAD a song but it was not on Spotify!

I never did reveal your initial choice during ASFM. I do wonder how it would have gone down.

 

[Rita]

Don’t worry though Moopers I have ANOTHER IDEA.

 

[Rita]

I never did reveal your initial choice during ASFM. I do wonder how it would have gone down.

It’s maybe the same one I was thinking of AGAIN?

 

[Rita]

It’s maybe the same one I was thinking of AGAIN?

It’s NOT. I forgot I tried to enter that one.

 

[Alla]

Why is Rita talking to herself? I mean, nothing new, but it's only midday

 

[GinAg (39)]

It’s NOT. I forgot I tried to enter that one.

Can we say on here? I would have accepted it, but I just wanted to encourage you to have a better chance

 

[Kate]

SENT!

 

[Rita]

Can we say on here? I would have accepted it, but I just wanted to encourage you to have a better chance

Of course you can say.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Of course you can say.

SUPREMES - YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE

 

[Alla]

SUPREMES - YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE

You are kidding me!!

 

[nerys]

How old is Rita?

 

[Rita]

SUPREMES - YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE

Then I ended up plumping for Scandal’us -History.

 

[Rita]

How old is Rita?

She is 46.

 

[Kate]

omg you were SERIOUS?

 

[Rita]

omg you were SERIOUS?

Yes! In my defence I didn’t really know how the game WORKED at that point.

 

[OutSynk]

I think I’ve done a complete U-TURN on the nominations I had so far and might send something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. This will be a LONG and DIFFICULT road to Soldi’s DM’s.

 

[Alla]

Then I ended up plumping for Scandal’us -History.

Your other option was probably a nil points.

 

[GinAg (39)]

omg you were SERIOUS?

As I say I would have allowed it, but by that stage nearly everything nominated would was pretty unknown, so it would have stuck out horribly.

 

[Kate]

If Phil Collins pops up here then we know who to blame.

 

[Rita]

If Phil Collins pops up here then we know who to blame.

I would NEVER.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The other issue I had was Sorb ignoring my PMs about his song not being on Spotify.

To be fair I'm not 100% sure he knows what Spotify is.

We know you had a big crush on that gorilla in the advert <3

 

[Rita]

ENTERED.

 

[Diddy]

Can we say on here? I would have accepted it, but I just wanted to encourage you to have a better chance

well hindsight is 20/20

 

[Diddy]

*considers entering Spice up your life*

 

[Soldi]

Quite a few entries in ALREADY, I shall be having a listen when I wash the car in a bit

 

[Lucille]

Your POOR NEIGHBOURS!

 

[Jacques]

Can I send five potential entries and be surprised by whichever one pops up in the song reveal. Either Soldi chooses his favourite or throws them on random.org. I'm so torn not knowing which direction to go down

 

[ZenGiraffe]

My submission has been made, though will remain private in case we have a surprise Kalavision resurrection, as it will give away my country.

It is a BANGER however.

 

[Zu]

We know you had a big crush on that gorilla in the advert <3

More Phil himself actually

And I’m NOT apologising!
