Globalvision POPA911 clone version
Before even the season kicked off, one participant discovered that on the forum created by banned and exiled Gagadaily members, PopA911.com, a copy of the Globalvision Song Contest was being held. The one that had the idea of holding the game in there was the banned past participant @Lorde von Kok who didn't even bother to change the name of the game nor any other important aspects of it, although he acknowledged the existence of the main contest sharing even winners or details with the new participants.
