2. Rules allow this type of borrowing. This is what I asked, what is the connection of Monaco with Italy? Its only neighbor is France and I don't see the need to borrow from Italy only because there are Italians living there. Does that mean that Poland should borrow from Germany only because they are people with german nationality in Poland? MaRtIn I'm just a player, I use the rules as they are. If you have more questions about them, only the host can answer. The only thing I can say is that everybody will have the opportunity to choose between a French and an Italian contestant during my national final. And I'll use the same system for the next editions. I am neutral, because I've been working on this selection for weeks and I like all these songs regardless of their nationality. Now there are six songs proposed for Monaco. Anybody can vote for his favourite song, and has no need to explain me the reasons of his choice. There is another reason why I chose the format of national selection: because I wanted to promote these new artists that are quite unknown even in their own countries. I would be happy to see these songs used in other contests and I think that each of them deserves it. And this is also why I asked to Blandine and Vinx to be part of the jury (I will use their votes in case of a tie) because they could pick my songs up in WWWSC.

italix As the HoD of Italy, I would have preferred if you sent the Italian songs for approval to me regardless of the rules, but meh I am open to an agreement or even a collaboration for the next contests if you want. My message box is open. I understand your point of view but this edition was special because Monaco was in "first ask, first serve" mode and because anybody was able to confirm with or and to use my songs. By the way, I wouldn't mind if you want to use one of the Italian songs eliminated from my national selection. This also applies to Tufkai

Dear MG, italix, ✨ Nicole ✨, and Tufkai,
Here's what I'll say. - Mihai, you could've PM'd me that question. - italix, you didn't need to respond to Mihai. - The rule that allows Monaco to borrow from Italy has been in existence since the first edition. - Monaco is a microstate, so it's not like Poland or Germany population-wise. As long as the French or Italian artists are unknown, I have no problem seeing them represent Monaco without the need for permission from their respective HoDs (It's a near-similar case with what Luxembourg did in ESC). - I'm sorry Ashley if that's how you wanted it, but that's the rules I made. I appreciate that you want to have as much options available, but same with Monaco.
- Respond to this in a PM if you wish to continue this discussion with me. I would like to keep this thread clean, please.
And I need to go to sleep. Good morning to you all.
Sincerely, MaRtIn
EDIT: P.S. - I seem to see the same inquisitive people involved in this productive discussion.
