My stretch goal for this round will be to sing a song in a foreign language that I speak very, very badly. It's a sentimental choice because I grew up listening to it, but if the foreign language + approximately five zillion key changes wind up being too ambitious for me, I also have a fallback option.- Malkon05

Okay the theme for this round is Eurovision! You can pick any song that has been part of the Eurovision Song Contest over it's massive almost 70 years of running! There is a lot of material to choose from and a lot of interesting genres and concepts to pick from.
As a note, I will allow songs from the Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga movie that released on netflix earlier this year. In addition, even though the Song Contest was canceled for 2020, there were songs that were written for that contest. I will allow those as well so long as I can verify it was an entry for the song contest this year.
Aside from that...I think this round is pretty cut and dry and doesn't need a lot of explaining. Please let me know if you have questions.
In addition, this means that final 4 will be Non-Animated Movie Hits. I will explain this theme more next round after results, but I would start thinking about this round and try to have some idea of what you might do. Long story short, it will function very similar to the animated song hits round I did prior...just to Non-Animated Movie Hits. I will take questions on this genre after that round begins.
I will also be revealing how Rounds 3 and 2 & what those themes will be as they were pre-determined pre-season.
Until that point, good luck with one of my personal favorite themes, Eurovision!Last edited by Malkon05 on Sun Aug 16, 2020 7:28 pm, edited 1 time in total.- Malkon05

Now you'll all get to know how davsto felt during Country WeekIn post 523, Mina wrote:^_^
Yeah, fuck it, I'm not sure if this is the most strategic choice, but my personal goal was to last until this round, so I'm locking that in now:
Eurovision
Also, Haschel will be happy!Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?- Davsto

I'm genuinely really curious as to what songs people who know nothing about Eurovision are going to chooseAlso, what is NM doing?

just feeling a bit overwhelmed with life at the moment <3
if it hadn't been 70s songs I'd probably have kept going, but I really really struggled with finding a song and was having flashbacks to earlier rounds that sucked for me and didn't think it was going to be worth it. I changed my mind at the last minute but then couldn't find a good song anyway so
my Eurovision pick would have been Rise Like a Phoenix- Klick

Does anyone else have a problem where they can sing a song or phrase perfectly a capella, but as soon as the backing track starts, they get a psychological block where their throat just clenches up and refuses to cooperate?
Also, with being able to sing songs in specific keys individually, but then completely forgetting how when you have to do the key changes in sequence? "Nope, sorry, you're not allowed to do that, because the first part of the song was in chest voice. You can't sing in mixed voice for another ten minutes!"
It's like singing is an instinctive process and I can only do it when my brain is in the mood.- Flubbernugget

Hello everyone,
As always these rounds are getting crazier and the competition is just getting more intense week to week. To the person eliminated this week, you are a wonderful singer and I think almost any other round this would not be the result, but we are here and it's unfortunate. This does not mean you aren't a good singer and you have given us so much throughout this competition. Thank you for doing this week to week and I'm sorry that this week happens to be your week. You are great and I don't want this to feel like it diminishes how good you really are.
With that in mind here are your results for the round:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Congratulations toHaschel Cedricson!!!!!for winning the round.
Now...I did promise to reveal a twist that will happen after this round, but I didn't...say how I was going to reveal it
The prize for the winner this round, is me REVEALING to them and them alone what the twist for Rounds 9 & 10 will be. You will all be publicly informed at the end of Round 8 (current Round) results what the twist is. I will leave it up to the winner this week on whether they share with some or all of you.
A reminder that the theme this round is Non-Animated Movie Hits. Here are some more details:
1. This round is treated very similarly to the Animated Song round. Only songs that originally debuted in movies will count.
2. Do not do any songs from Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga as that was allowed last round...yes I know semantics, this is a rule I'm putting up.
3. Songs that were not originally in a movie, I am not allowing.
My best example of this would be in Dreamgirls, "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going" was not originally done for the movie, however "Listen" was. So I would accept "Listen", but not "And I am Telling You...".
Please let me know if you have any questions, deadline is next Sunday at 4pm PDT/7pm EDT. - Malkon05
