Lemmy users, you can now vote for your favourite song in Lemmyvision's song contest, an Eurovision-like song contest, in which various instances submitted a song of their choice!

My sincere thanks everyone for your submissions, I have created a form where you can rank your favourite songs, it's available here :

➡️ Lemmyvision Voting Form - https://tally.so/r/nWNgKQ ⬅️

I'll leave the form open for a week and then collect the results!

Make sure to check each submitted song thanks to the playlists @[email protected] has created:

Full list of songs:

  • 🇦🇺 Royel Otis - Heading For The Door (aussie.zone / Australia)
  • 🇧🇪 Puggy - Lost Child ([email protected] / Belgium)
  • 🇨🇦 Lu Kala - Hotter Now (lemmy.ca / Canada)
  • 🇩🇰 Pil - Dronning Af Månen (feddit.dk / Denmark)
  • 🇫🇷 Bagarre - ON EST LES MÊMES (jlai.lu / France)
  • 🇭🇺 Azahriah - introvertált dal ([email protected] / Hungary)
  • 🇬🇧 The Northern Boys - Sexy Train (feddit.uk / UK)
  • 🇦🇶 Casette Beasts - Your Inception (programming.dev / Programming)
  • 🇳🇿 Tiki Taana - Tangaroa (lemmy.nz / New Zealand)

You will be asked to rank the songs from your favourite to least favourite ; you may notice that users from specific instance cannot rank the song their instance has submitted, in order to keep things fair. Users from non-participating instances can still participate in the voting, and self identify as third party. Let me know if there's any issue with the form!

Enjoy! 🎶

I like how all the other instances have taken it incredibly seriously, and we've basically sent Scooch.

I felt that it was true to the actual contest, when I saw that everyone else had taken it a good deal more seriously.

The great thing about Eurovision is that there are no right answers. You can flip from standard Europop to Lordi and back again. As there's so much politics at play, the "best" song may not win, so the important thing is to have fun.

I do feel the UK's entries tend to be awfully bland and we should try and shake things up a bit. Our Lemmyvision entry goes some way to correcting that.

The French entry literally has meme in the title, so theirs clearly isn't serious. /s

I turned it off after a few seconds because it was in French.

That got my #1 vote - there's something about French rapping...

Same, I enjoyed that one

I see it as our "Get Schwifty".

We may not win, but we've entertained (and possibly disturbed) some people, which is a win in my book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

we did win. ^^

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It appears to be Michael Winner, Les Battisby from Corrie, and Compo from the Last Summer Wine on his holidays. Impressive line up tbf.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Right, my vote is in.

6.5 days left to go.

If youre not part of one of the instances/countries that submitted a song theres an other option when voting

I am only cross-posting it here, I didn't set up the poll. If there's a problem with selecting "other" then report it on the original post.
