RetroVision: The 2010s – Semifinals

[u/rigyyy]

Hello everyone!

It's time to start a new adventure with playing in a time machine. This time we are going back to the not-so-distant past. The reason for this is because the winner of the last edition decided that the time period of this year's RetroVision will be the 2010s!

​

It should also be noted that this RetroVision will not cover the entire period, all 10 years of the 2010s, but only songs published from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015. So, all those who fondly remember the early years of the 2010s will have a great time!

​

After we spent the first two editions of this retro competition in Ireland and third one in Colombia, this time we are returning to the European continent, to good old Scotland! The host city is Edinburgh thanks to last year's great win by the excellent band Garbage. For this reason, we will see Scotland as the only directly placed country in the Grand Final of RetroVision: the 2010s.

An interesting fact is that two music competitions, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 and RetroVision: The 2010s have something in common. Both contests have the same number of participating countries: 37! :-)

As already pointed out, Scotland is directly placed in the Grand Final. So, we have 36 countries left. Those countries are divided into two Semifinal competitions, 18 countries in each Semi-Final. Top 12 countries from each Semi will enter the fight for the winner of the fourth edition of our RetroVision. This unfortunately means that 6 countries from each Semi will have to end their retro journey after the announcement of the results of the Semifinals.

Without waiting, let's start with the most important part of this post!

You are required to vote in your own Semi. Failure to vote in your own Semi will result in disqualification. If you want to vote in both Semifinals and you are not Scotland but one of the other 36 countries, or if you even aren't competing then you will be able to do so. All these votes will be merged together into a single RoTW vote set.

The standart ESC voting system will be used, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-10-12 style of giving points.

From this moment now until Friday 16th of February at 23:59 CET, voting lines are opened. Send them to me by personal message here on Reddit (u/rigyyy) or on Discord.

Good luck to all participants!
