I don't like a lot of live recordings, but many can be top quality.

and then you have stuff like Metallica S&M album which takes a bunch of their previously done songs to a whole new place (and is a live recording, if you didn't know)

Aw man, I forgot to enter. Might vote though. Also did we change the BotB's to exclude top 3 instead of all? I didn't even consider entering fun. because of it >_>

I was sure Sigur Ros was going to have other entries, but went with it anyway because it's what I wanted to enter

Ugh, Two Door Cinema Club wasn't supposed to be eligible because they got third place in BOTB2.

I must have double-checked their eligibility on the full wiki page instead of the list of eligible artists I'd come up with.

Well, last time I accidentally let through an artist that wasn't eligible, I let people vote for them but said it wouldn't be eligible to get into the top three no matter the score. Not really sure whether that policy should extend to BOTB.

On the other hand, we have fewer entries than a normal contest, so. Seems a little silly to exclude any of them from consideration.

Idk. Anybody have thoughts/preferences here?

Damn it. Someone put in Goose House again.

Sorry for whomever else wanted to get the full twelve points.

(In all seriousness, that's not final. I haven't gone through all the songs yet.)

Is it too late for them to change their entry?

I thought the last time I slipped up and let an ineligible entry through it was Laura Mvula? And I remember that one not getting enough points to crack the top three.

Well nobody's voted yet, so I suppose it's an option.

NOTE: Vietnam's entry has been changed because Two Door Cinema Club was not eligible for BOTB. If you already listened to the Two Door Cinema Club entry, please listen to the new one before casting your vote. The mistake was mine and not the entrant's. Thank you.

Getting rid of those I know I don't want in my top ten...

Democratic Republic of the Congo - Guster - Airport Song
Slovenia - Johnny Cash - One
Spain - Shugo Tokumaru - Katachi
USA - BTS - FIRE
Iceland - The Dear Hunter - Red Hands
Fiji - Goose House - Fuyu no Epilogue (Winter’s Epilogue)
Uruguay - Hudson Taylor - Care
Federated States of Micronesia - Grayson Erhard - Tapestry
Latvia - Qntal - Sumer
Bhutan - fun. - The Gambler
New Zealand - Sigur Ros - Brennisteinn
Papua New Guinea - Phildel - Qi
Italy - Hurt - Role Martyr X

I just want to note I'm still bitter about Italy and I feel bad to the country who chose The Birthday Massacre. Despite the fact that I was the one who got the gold with that song a couple of contests ago, I'm actually not a super huge fan of that song. Sorry.

Also, a lot of quality songs are in this contest.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
