I've never done anything like that. Because I don't care.

Here's a pro tip: vote last to reduce the scores of those who gave you low ratings on songs.

And while you're at it, you should also reduce the scores of the current leaders. If you're going to give helpful advice, go all the way.

You can also just not vote at all to avoid giving points to your competitors.

maybe you could give everyone the same rating?

could he also give everyone the same rating?

Yeah, you give everyone low ratings, and as a result, the average score for your candidate increases significantly.

Yeah, the first ones

and there’s no need to send all sorts of useless things.

Oh boy.

Kaga Misaki 「加賀岬」FULL FULL — 7 points — it could have been sung a bit shorter, but okay, the music and vocals are good, I added an extra point for the subtitles, everything is clear with them!
The U.S.S. Make Sh*t Up by Aurelio Voltaire (BiTrektual Version) OFFICIAL — 7 points — (before listening) am I obliged to listen to this? It's more than 5 minutes long, I would have sent something longer myself if it were possible. (After listening), objectively (and I am a very objective person, as the forum members know very well), the song is not very good, unless you are a hardcore Star Trek fan (I consider being passionate about this franchise at a "serious" level to be alien to our culture), but I forgive everything for its energy and overall cheerfulness.
Remember Your Name – The nightingale has a good song (lyrics by Sergey Esenin) — 6 points — after the first minute, I really wanted to give it about 8 points to help it not sink completely on this Russophobic forum, but the wail in the middle is really not very good, of course, it's very cool in the sense that it creates the image of a banshee or a professional mourner, but it's not very aesthetically pleasing to my ears.
Dorohedoro Ending 3 Full - (K)NoW_NAME『D.D.D.D. 』 — 5 points — good music to film a girl in a club and get busy in the crush of that club.
The Dø - Anita No! (Live at l’Olympia, Paris) — 5 points — was it necessary to send a live version? Okay. A very boring and characterless song, I hope this isn't your Aretz, there used to be at least some semblance of character in your songs, but here it's just bland. I was already preparing to lower the score for the length, but it sensed it and ended.
FAUN "Tanz mit mir" (Duett mit Santiano) [Teaser | HD] — 9 points — I added a point for the fact that the person respects other people's time and sent a short track, and in general, the song is wonderful.
Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe (Official Music Video) [HD] - RednexMusic com — 10 points — unlike Neyra, I didn't lower the score, the person figured out how to send a cool, albeit old and well-known track, it wasn't sent to the contest before, well done.
Ushanocka.wmv — 3 points — I am not Russophobic and have nothing against such a pillar of Russian culture as blatnyak, it's just that the song is so-so, I would easily give 6-7 points for some of Novikov's songs, even for Krug, but not for this one. I could have given it 4 points if it were shorter, but with such an attitude, it's only a three.
Daron Malakian And Scars On Broadway - Guns Are Loaded[New Song]2018 — 5 points — this song pretends to have character (in contrast to Anita), but in reality, it doesn't, there is a quiet mumbling of a guy at the beginning and BANGING starting from the middle with an increase in intonation, but nothing special, it feels like I've heard this song a thousand times, even though I'm not a fan of the genre in general, or the band in particular.
Graves — 6 points — cute and girlish, I could have lowered one point for the excessive length, but oh well.
It Was Fear of Myself That Made Me Odd — 4 points — basically, here it is, maybe it's just not my cup of tea and this song and Guns Are Loaded are fundamentally different, but for me, it's the same, a little banging, a little screaming, woohoo, another masterpiece is ready. I was going to give it the same 5 points, but the screams at the very end annoyed me, I wanted to show off, vocalist? Well, here's a minus point.
Santiano - Gott muss ein Seemann sein (Official Video) — 6 points — also quite unexpressive, but better than all the other "characterless" candidates.
Kovacs - The Devil You Know (Official Video) — 6 points — plus a point for something more or less original, minus a point for the fact that it's not my cup of tea, and here's the result.

Here's a drawback of the video contest: only the videos will be evaluated, which means my candidate won't be very interesting, because the video without the song isn't particularly original. It's not that the song significantly improves or complements it, but it would probably be a little better.

So, the music is also a part of the video...

Few people in the community ever bothered with originality scores. After all, this isn't an arthouse festival with seasoned connoisseurs and thousands of hours of criticism and experience behind them. Half of the players here are just casuals.

Wow, that's quite a harsh criticism, Morny.
And frankly, I think some of the critics at the festivals have bigger bellies than I do :P

Yeah, you give everyone scores of one or two, and as a result, the average score of your candidate increases significantly.

That's how Revan wins photo and art contests.

Well, no, I only give relatively low ratings based on photos, and even then, only for certain ones...

No, I wasn't talking about you specifically, but in general. You have a perfectly normal rye-buckwheat figure.
