Hi all and welcome to The DS 2017 Fantasy Eurovision thread for all the NF re-votes.

Last year ran re-votes for each of the NFs with the intention of having our own contest with each of the NF winners and all internal selections. However sadly the votes dried up towards the end and I wasn't able to complete it.

However, this year I am giving it another go and have made some changes. Now you can vote in each NF as soon as that NF has been completed rather then waiting for me to open the NF re-vote potentially weeks after it has occurred.

Tomorrow night Albania run the first NF of the year, I am working tomorrow night so won't be around to officially open the voting, but as soon as the final song has been performed tomorrow night you can send me in your votes Eurovision style for your top 10.

I have not set a deadline yet, I am waiting to gauge interest, but I would like to aim for at least 15 voters for each NF. However, I don't want the NFs to be open forever so will probably set a deadline of 2-3 weeks for each NF.

Once all the votes are in the song with the most votes will go forward to be that countries representative in our very own Fantasy Eurovision.

On Christmas Eve Armenia are running their NF, however, my understanding is that they will only be selecting the artist, so we won't be able to do a re-vote for that.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask, I will remind everyone that they can send in their votes before I leave for work tomorrow, but it would be great if someone on the main tread could also post a reminder once all the songs have been performed for me.

Many thanks and I hope you can all find the time to take part again.

So just giving this the bump.

Remember as soon as the final song has been performed in tonight's Albanian final you can send your votes ESC-style to me via PM. Please also remember that only songs that made the final take part. So you cannot vote for any of the songs which were eliminated in the SFs.

Tomorrow once I am home from work I will post Youtube links to each performance for those of you that want to rewatch them before voting and also for anyone else who is unable to watch tonight.

Once again if someone could remind everyone on the main thread once the songs have been performed that you are able to vote that would be great.

I'm currently on my break. So far Lisa and nunaney have voted, but I know more of you were watching last night so it would be great if you can all find the time to vote.

Later today I will put Youtube links up for you to refresh your memory.

Still on 7 votes, keep voting. I may send some PMs out over the weekend if votes haven't picked up, just reminding people that voted last year that may be a bit busy with Christmas/New Year stuff. I do have a list of people that were posting during the NF I am going to try and talk into voting

Thanks, both you and ChickenFromKiev (the 2 DS chicks , have said that they will get votes in to me, but I am still stuck on 7 votes so going to send out some PMs tonight I think, to try and drum up some interest. Let me know on here if you are already planning on voting and I won't drop you a PM in that case.

More votes being received, but still more needed before we can declare a result.

I am giving this a soft deadline of next Saturday (7th January) and an hard deadline of the following Friday (13th January). Chances are it may be somewhere in between.

That would get this out of the way to allow us to focus on Belarus, Georgia, UK and Finland who all have their NFs towards the end of January.

Not had anymore votes since the last update. Working tomorrow and Tuesday, so the next update will come Tuesday night.

Hoping now that Christmas and New Year are out of the way more votes will start coming in as people will have time to listen to the songs.

Keep voting

I've just looked back at last years Albanian NF, we got 17 votes in total from 30th December until the closing date of 10th December. So that was a week and an half with 22 songs, held post new year.

So I am hoping we can now beat that 17 total as we have less songs and are now post new year too.

Voted....finally.

Always a chore, never a pleasure Albania. Struggled to pick 10 worth voting for although there were roughly a handful that I'm fond of.

Thanks Chickens hit. We are up to 13 voters now. Which is good but I definitely need more.

ChickenFromKiev and Gwen 404 informed me they will vote so if they do it will bring the number to 15. But I'm hoping for more. So please do try and vote if you have not done so already.

I should be able to vote too. Haven't managed to get myself to listen to 14 dreadful Albanian entries yet though.

We have reached the 15 minimum votes I wanted. However, as we have no further NFs for a few weeks and are in no rush. Voting for Albania will remain open until next Friday, so that gives everyone an extra week to vote if they wish.
