I'm the only mod here, but it's not always up to mods to decide if an entry is acceptable and fits the theme, it's up to the person who suggested the theme of the spin off, which is again...me xrofl2

It's 100% what CC92 said, the title is Amerika, which is a continent. If the song's context was referring to United States of America, then the song whould have been accepted. But, it's not the case, so it's not accepted. And the person who sent it is not gonna be disqualified, he will be asked to send a new entry as soon as possible (if he wishes).

I agree with what's been said. America/Amerika is often used (incorrectly) to refer to the country USA, but nevertheless it's common so in that sense I could see this entry being eligible. However, in this particular case, it's even apparent that it's about the continent (which means the term is correctly used, so that's just kudos to the song itself), which shouldn't make it eligible.

+ Katya Buzhynska for Ukraine ;) ;)

I apologize for not fixing the rest of the entries. Unfortunately, I may not have time to.

As for Lithuania's, I cannot argue at this point about it fitting the theme as it is CypriotGirl's theme so we go by her rules. I will PM EdvinasLTU right now. Apologies for the delay.

Maybe extending the deadline would be a good option with the change in line-up and lack of time?

Her name is written everywhere as Катя Бужинская. As I understood, that's the stage name she uses.

БужинÑ?каÑ?, Екатерина Владимировна — ВикипедиÑ?

It's like I insist that Anna Vissi shouldn't be called Anna Vissi but Anna Vishy, because her name in Cypriot is pronounced that way.

This is tricky, because some sources credit her as Buzhynskaya, while some (including her official homepage) credit her as both (depending on what language used): Buzhynska Biography. I think it's simply a question of whether the source is a Russian one (= Buzhynskaya) or an Ukrainian one (Buzhynska), but considering she's Ukrainian and the fact that her official homepage in English/Romanized letters uses the Ukrainian version, I guess that'd be the more logical to pick.

However, that's not really important (just me being picky about details :lol:), but nevertheless it's Buzh and not Bog though, regardless of using the Russian or Ukrainian version of it.

Though, in the end of the day these are just small details, so hardly a big deal, just something I noted :mrgreen:

About Bog and not Buzh, I don't know why this happened, I must have mistyped it, because I read it and pronounce it as Buzh and not Bog... :oops:
No idea why this happened, because I know how to read in Russian.

Edit: I found out that the mistake was in the mp3 file of the song I have, it was mistyped like that, and I copy-pasted it when I sent my confirmation message. Because it's impossible that I transfered it to Latin letters like that from Бужинская.

Oh I see... well that explains it all :mrgreen:

Btw is there an extension of the deadline? What's happening right now? xshrug

I've received word back from Edvinas, and Lithuania is withdrawing.

Send your votes! Deadline is a week from this post.

It was easy to determine my null pointers as well as my lower and middling points but I couldn't make a decision for the top scores yet. I really like ten songs out of 13, I think this hath never happened to me before with any line-up. Congrats to all on a fantastic job. xup

Please don't forget to vote! You all have less than 16 hours, and I've only received points from 8 countries! (Well, 9 plus me.)
