One quick small stat for you:
The only nation that won a medal twice in Battle of the Best contests is Iceland. They got two bronze medals, in BOTB 6 and 7.

I'm #2 on this, I have a 3-streak in top 3 (55 - 1st, 56 - 1st, 57 - 3rd). That means I held the record for a while, but apparently you have beaten me. In honor of this I am gonna come out of song contest retirement and bust out some good shit

My legacy is that I won in my first song contest.

I've done worse ever since...

Starting to doubt what song to enter next Contest.
The one I had picked, I think I can save for many more contests, but there's one artist that I fear, if I don't enter one of their songs soon, someone else might.

For the same reason I'd give Queen, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc 0 points.

How do you guys pick your entries?

I usually go for something that has been stuck in my head for a bit and I dont hear many people talking about, or like a super deep cut of your favorite track from a famous artist or group that not many people know about.

I like being exposed to new stuff and have taken some heavy shit for stuff ive posted, but its always fun to see who votes where when what is submitted is.

I had to google both of those and I came up with how to videos on learning Korean and a form of Japanese writing that uses Chinese characters?
