The pledge was changed in the 1950s during the height of the Red Scare. The belief was that if you were a dirty Commie you wouldn't be able to say the "Under God" part because you'd burst into flames. I mean, I can't think of a better way to out Commies.In post 98, Vi wrote:(which without checking I'm going to guess was created specifically for this purpose and has no other significance)Show"Getting lost in the details of nothing..."

Presumably the flames are blue and white and totally not red.In post 102, Formerfish wrote:

Spoiler: I was referring to this though
Hey Saladman. Is Phillippines your entry?
If so, I'm curious how you would review your own entry (or explain why you chose it or etc.). Not coming from a position of criticism; just curious if there's a story behind the choice.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see.

I chose it cause it was funny to me, since I can understand it. Musically it's great but I can understand how the lyrics is confusing because of the way we talk. The music video was the only one I could find which was actually made by the label. It does follow the lyrics though. If you guys want, I can translate it, since the video doesn't have captions.In post 103, Vi wrote: Hey Saladman. Is Phillippines your entry?

(4/10) - Iceland - Billie Eilish - This feels like a Lana del Rey song. I dunno if she has the same singing talent as Lana does though. Feel like this song is lacking vocal power which this type of music needs.
(5.5/10) - Djibouti - Sports Team - Seems like a british version of the Strokes. Catchy song and I guess his voice is good. Not that interesting though. Good mid section.
(5/10) - China - Batushka - Surprisingly mostly okay with this considering its metal. Not sure why that is, it has a lot of the things I don't like about metal. The guitar tone is good I suppose.
(7/10) Germany - Nordic Chamber Choir - This is a pretty beautiful piece. I'm not normally huge on choral music but this definitely caught my attention.
(3/10) - Chad - Blink 182 - I don't like Blink182 and this sure was a song I guess.
(3/10) - Niger - DRAX Project - This is pretty aggresively meh. Although I don't generally like pop music and this is sort of the F.U.N. style of bad pop
(2/10) - USA - Dance Gavin Dance - The one guy looks like Dean from survivor. Not liking it from the start - not a fan of the vocals or the overall sound. Was hoping it would go somewhere interesting and it went somewhere the opposite of interesting. Yeah this is one of those edgy boi bands that likes the scream a lot. Gonna be a hard pass
(7/10) Hungary - Serif Delic - Can't remember what the name of the string instrument is but I do love it. I'm a fan of this. It's a very nice song, love this style of singing, and its got a good melody too.
(5/10) Australia- Youp van't Hek - Not the bunny! I don't really have much to comment on as far as being a song goes. I do enjoy the ending though.
(5/10) Egypt - Jacob Collier - Surprisingly didn't enjoy this all that much? Like the genre should appeal to me, but can't get past the weird vocals. Feels very "Music Theory Youtuber" as well. He is quite cute though.
(6/10) Phillipines - Parokya ni Edgar - It's an okay sound. Could see this in a musical. Not that exciting instrumentally but its catchy and memorable.
(5.5/10) Wales - Paul Kelly - I guess this is a pretty good Christmas song. Tells a good story, has emotion to it. Not really my thing, but it was a good listen.
(2.5/10) Ethiopia - Donald Phan - Oh no this is an anime song isn't it. Oh noooooo... yeah it has the speedy robotic piano playing. Its just so dull though? Not a Phan of this.
(6/10) Afghanistan - Wintergatan - There's something about this production that's a bit too clean. Cause otherwise I like it. It sits at a "decent background music" rating for me. I do like the saw playing a lot.
(6.5/10) Macau - Aivi and Surasshu - This is pleasant. Could definitely recognize that its the composers from Steven Universe without having known that before, they have a great style.
(4/10) Turkey - Trans Siberian Orhcestra - I thought this group was good idk this is just sleepy pachebels cannon
(2/10) Benin - Beanus - okay
(8/10) Japan - Suzuku Airi - Omg its a jpop song thats actually good. Yes this is the good funky stuff. Also aesthetic
(8/10) Poland - The Dead South - Yeah I like this sound a lot. Especially the really deep cello is killing it (it's a cello right?) The good dark country stuff
(1/10) Guyana - Flume - Nah i dont know what genre this is but its a sound I dont like so bleh
(9/10) Sudan - Mingus Big Band - mmm that's some sweet jazz. That low sax riff is everything. Very fun and chaotic stuff. Just continues to be solid for the entire time. Faved- Aurathebirb

Technically the order should be arbitrary; in practice it's the order they were received, and I've found that I tend to hate the later submissions more.In post 114, Aurathebirb wrote:why people review in weird random order
I use the ranking from my first pass as the order for my second pass; this also removes some of the bias like "the last few songs were so bad that this one sounds better than I would ordinarily consider it". It works well for the songs that I ultimately assign points to, but by the end I usually find myself trying not to make whimpering noises.Everything you say and do matters.

I just noticed that I don't have complete ballots for four voters. I have PM'ed all four, please respond with your choices or re-submit your ballot using the form at the top of the entries.
I think I know what's going on -- in the process of correcting the ballot, I think Google Forms erased answers that were made using the former ballot. I apologize for all the confusion, and will make a note of it for the future.
If you have already voted and didn't receive a PM from me, your vote is intact.- Errantparabola
