Just a reminder: you're more than welcome to suggest themes now.

 

[Deleted member 5361]

NSC Live: send live performances with live vocals only - unlike the covers/remixes spinoff, we would have to submit songs that had not participated in NSC.

Points for everyone: instead of providing the traditional ESC votes to the host, each nation ranks all songs from first to last place and they get their corresponding rank in points. Lowest score wins (since 1st place in the ranking = 1 point)
NSC Name Game: send a solo artist with the same first name as one of the NSC or WLSC nation owners/presidents.

 

[Veronika]

Hey guys, I need to create a poll today or at least tomorrow (before September 14th), as I'm leaving on that day for almost a month.
We need some more themes, I think. So pls keep suggesting.

 

[berlyda]

I'll suggest the ones I suggested last time:

Covers/remixes 5: everyone has to send cover or remixed version of a song previously entered in the main contest, including the original versions of songs whose covers or remixes were entered in NSC.
Languageception: the language of the song must be different to the native language of the artist, and also cannot be English.

 

[Ewigkeit]

Key Change: Participants send songs with key change(s).
Vocaloid: Participants send songs that are sung by a Vocaloid.
NSC Champions: Participants send previous NSC winners (but not the winning songs themselves).

[Veronika]

Heey guys, I'll have to close the poll and announce everything in an hour or so (I won't be available later, feeling a bit unwell, need to go to bed earlier ), so it's your last chance to vote for the next theme, if you haven't done this yet. So please vote! You still can do it!

 

[Veronika]

Poll is closed!

Our winning theme is Melodic Picture 3!
According to Melodic Picture 2 results:
the winner was @TAFKAJ I guess
3rd was @Morty
(those who took 2nd and 4th aren't in NSC/WL currently)
5th @Lenalite
So I guess I'll ask these people to host first of all.

 

[Morty]

I've been doing a lot of thinking here, as I wasn't sure I could come up with a decent idea for this, but I think I have something. But I guess it's up to @TAFKAJ first

 

[Morty]

Ok, I've waited long enough. No reply from TAFKAJ, so I've opened a new thread. Melodic Picture 3 is official.

 

[takeru]

Will the next spinoff after be Spinoff Congratulations 150?

 

[berlyda]

Lovely!

That would be an interesting one, spinoff #101 was in 2013

 

[Morty]

So, Spinoff Congratulations 150?

 

[Deleted member 5361]

Can we have a songs in non-English kind of gig? It would be cute if everyone sent non-English songs

 

[berlyda]

For example... Languageception?

But in all seriousness, I would be up for any kind of non-English spinoff too

 

[Deleted member 5361]

is Languageception the one where the host picks a language and everyone has to send a song in that particular language?

I was thinking more along the lines of everyone sending songs in whatever
language they like, as long as it isn’t English.

Edit: just checked what it is and Languageception sounds just as cool. Maybe even more inspiring, in fact!

 

[Edweis]

Would it be finally the time for Languageception ?

As berlyda already suggested this one, I'm gonna throw in a past candidate that I thought sounded cool aka Rainbow Rumble : send a song whose title has a colour in it (feel free to correct grammar)
