Yay, needed these 2 through! ❤️

Thanks a lot, I'm so happy that the semi 1 voters will also hear 'Daddy Said No' ❤️ BJSC voters > San Marino Macromia was 100% essential, great entry!

Voted pretty early, ready for holiday mode! 🏖️ In the end I had 15 songs to vote for, so I really can't complain about the quality - hope most of my top 10 will manage to Q ❤️

No, and I really appreciate that noone compared a song about the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community of a country under dictatorship to a novelty entry, just because the two song titles are similar. I had to leave my home country for good at 37 because I was sick of not being able to live my true life. I didn't move for money or a better opportunity, I moved to be able to live a simple life that most people in Western Europe can take for granted. The song pretty much summarizes why I had to leave. 'Daddy Said No' is funny/silly, but somehow it always makes me sad and angry, yet I can't stop listening to it. In the end, I don't expect anyone to feel the way I feel when listening to this song, as thankfully most of you have grown up with a different level of acceptance around them. This is a song contest after all, you either like 'Daddy Said No' or not, it's all good. Thanks Everyone who joined SyncTube yesterday for... simply being a decent human being and not making a running joke of the entry that clearly means so much to me. ❤️

Confirmed (but I might need to keep looking for a backup 😅)

10 years, damn... Land of DW is not too good at keeping their country page updated, I guess. - BJSC 174 - Carson Coma: Daddy Said No Hungary's San Marino's most successful Eurovision entry? We'll never know. While it would've been epic to see the Hungarian Carson Coma perform in San Marino's colours, now they compete in BJSC, which is pretty much the second best thing that could happen to a song. Despite the silly-sounding title, the song has some solid lines about the 'Hungarian reality'. Thanks to bipbapboop1140, a nice user on YouTube, our country won't need to write their own essay, it's easier to steal the whole thing instead. SO MUCH easier! /Huge thanks to them!/ Since this song seems to have reached foreign audiences, here's an explanation from a Hungarian: - the style of the clip comes from traditional Hungarian folk patterns - the song also mixes in the motifs of Hungarian folk music (the repetition and strong vibrato for example) - the "daddy" in the lyrics refers to Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary - it is speculated that Hungary doesn't take part in Eurovision (= "the party") because it is "too gay". - "wraps in plastic all my books" refers to the Hungarian book censorship law that requires all media depicting LGBTQ+ characters, identities, events, etc. in public places (eg. bookstores) to be wrapped in plastic foil - "funny how I slipped in through the backdoor" - Carson Coma entered the contest representing San Marino, a small country that lets foreigners enter through them (also could be a gay joke, not sure if that's intentional) - the funny T-shirt line refers to the lead singer, Giorgio Fekete wearing a shirt that said "homophobes are f*gs" - "try not to confuse having the keys with owning the place" refers to how despite being an elected official, Viktor Orbán acts like the dictator of Hungary (let me give you a hint, democracy is merely a suggestion in this country) - "This is a warning" - I just really like this line, because it signals that the band is committed to going as far as it needs to to criticize the government - the last two lines are in Italian and Hungarian respectively, the two native languages of the lead singer. They can be translated as "I know you'll be angry, I've seen it already" and "You will bleep out again, that...". These are references to their song "Feldobom a követ", which was their first really heavy critique of the government, featuring the line "Will you bleep out ((Viktor Orbán))" - his name isn't actually said, but it rhymes with the previous line, the audience usually yells it at their concerts. ("supposedly" warning:) Fidesz, Orbán's party /supposedly/ pulled some strings to get one of their concerts cancelled after this song came out, hence "I've seen it before" (and there is also a similar Hungarian line in Feldobom a követ).

Semi 2 tonight would be a big help, I won't be able to join any sessions after Thursday.

Oh, it's most likely a DNQ, but I'll still have a lil campaign for it as it's one of my most important entries - I'll even update my country's thread (that I haven't touched in like 8 years 😅) to explain the lyrics a bit, as while on the surface it's quite silly, in reality it's very political ('daddy' is Viktor Orbán, the president dictator of Hungary) + it's pretty much the Hungarian LGBTQIA+ anthem.

I haven't posted here yet, but the craziness going on in lil old dictatorial Hungary is worth sharing. I don't live in Hungary anymore, but this article still makes me mad, every paragraph is a different mindf***. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/14/europe/hungary-lgbtq-law-intl-latam/index.html

Voted! My top 2 are both amazing discoveries ❤️

Confirmed your banger of the month

This. But in the end my whole top 8 made it, so yay for that. Great hosting on the new site Cody, congrats!

Hope at least Danæviia makes it! and that there will be a big jump for 20th, otherwise I'll have to blame Pagasa 100%, them not voting was pretty much the nail in my coffin
