    No traditionally the contests are held in Jan-May then Jul-Nov but sometimes there can be delays which pushes subsequent contests back.

    ah ok, I thought it is later. Maybe because in Germany and Switzerland the summer holidays are in July/August. 😄

    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. ❤️

    I know exactly how you feel. I moved from Hungary to Germany when I was 35 although not just because of the political situation of the country, but it had an influence on my choice.

    I moved 10 years ago to Germany and moved because of a work opportunity 4 years ago to Switzerland so I have to say I could reach in western Europe much more with hard work then in my home country I could ever reach... and this is a shame...
