Swornim Subedi was sitting in the green room, counting down the number of performances until it'd be her turn. Gaciadia had just finished meaning that Kishrael was next. A huge roar of applause rocked the green room - Kishrael was always going to be a hard act to follow.

This was the first time Chameliya Television had been approved by the WorldVision committee and so Swornim had been ordered to write something memorable, something that would stand out and make an impression. As a result, the song wasn't obviously Chameliyali (Chameliyali music was famously niche) and it was also not a dance anthem which seemed to be the WorldVision standard. Swornim was beginning to wonder about whether she had made the write decision as one of the crew strode towards her signalling the way to the stage.
Swornim was stood at the end of the catwalk wearing a leather dress and leather jacket. A large curtain was hung around the stage, hiding it away. The lights focussed on Swornim glowing a warm shade of blue as the song began to start. The cameras were close-up allowing Swornim to give them flirtatious glances with her big eyes.

You promised, you’d be my partner in crime
Not mere pranksters, we’re seeking something sublime

The cameras cut to the side, showing Swornim's profile outlined by the azure spotlights and the audience waving flags in the background. Swornim holds the mic stand and sways it about.

Better watch out, better watch out
We’re not kids now, we’re not kids now
Don’t think it’s right, don’t think it’s right?
Well then fuck you, ‘cos we’ll take it

The camera cuts back to to show Swornim from the front who is writhing round the mic stand and glaring into the cameras with sultry eyes.

They’ll say it’s just childish hedonism and
We’re naïve; time to accept realism
But we won’t listen

The lights begin to glow orange as the song begins to ramp up. Swornim stretches her hands out into the air, swaying in time to the music.

We’re coming out; don’t think it’s the last time
Comply whilst we all get our kicks and you’ll be fine
And you’ll be fine

Swornim stops swaying to catch her breath as the music slows down a little. The crowd are breathless anticipating the chorus,

We’ve had a taste of what life’s got
And we like it, oh we like it
We want some more, we want some more
We’re excited, senses heightened

The cameras focus close in right up to Swornim's face, she flashes them a mischievous grin, knowing what's about to happen. Behind her, a line of figures carrying mysterious objects can be seen approaching up the catwalk, however the lights keep off them.

They’ll say it’s just childish hedonism and
We’re naïve; time to accept realism
But we won’t stop ‘cos
We’re just getting started and this might be our last time so

A burst of pyrotechnics along the catwalk lights up the figures as golden spotlights are shone onto them revealing them to be trumpet and trombone players, blasting out every note. At the end of the catwalk Swornim is dancing manically, her eyes wild.

Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’re so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, all our senses heightened
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’ll keep on fighting
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh, hoping, praying for one more time

The camera cuts between shots of the brass players and Swornim giving the performance of her lifetime.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da

The lights fade to blue as Swornim yanks her mic out of its stand and walks down the catwalk to meet the line of brass players.

Call it a vice though it may well be nice
And you’re pursing your lips into a smile
Don’t care for advice ‘cos we never think twice
So come on aboard for a trial

Swornim teases the brass players as she walks struts amongst them, leisurely running her fingers over their chests and cheeks.

We’ll never kiss, so, we’ll never tell, so,
You can feel free to join our fold
Stop hesitating, what are you waiting for
‘Cos we won’t hold back like we did before

The lights return to their orange glow as the song picks up again and Swornim begins to dance in and out of the brass players the last distance towards the curtained stage.

You promised, you’d be my partner in crime
That’s right so, buckle down make sure it’s good for one last time
Oh, oh, oh

She pauses to lean down and sing towards the audience who are reaching out to her.

We’ve had a taste of what life’s got
And we like it, oh we like it
We want some more, we want some more
We’re excited, senses heightened

Standing now at the end of the catwalk, Swornim takes hold of part of the curtain and sings into the camera that has followed her down the stage.

They’ll say it’s just childish hedonism and
We’re naïve; time to accept realism
But we won’t stop ‘cos
We’re just getting started and this might be our last time so

With yet another burst of pyrotechnics, Swornim pulls down the curtain to reveal a host of cancan dancers standing on a rotating pyramid dancing and waving Chameliyali flags. The crowd goes wild.

Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’re so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, all our senses heightened
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’ll keep on fighting
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, dancing all the way through the night-time

Swornim climbs to the top of the pyramid and resumes her frenzied jig. The cameras keep switching from shots of the brass players lined up on the catwalk to the flowing fabric of the cancan dancers' dresses to Swornim herself whirling like a dervish. Confetti is falling and the crowd is going into overdrive.

Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’re so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, our senses, senses, senses heightened
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, we’ll keep on fighting
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh, hoping, praying, singing, crying, laughing, dancing for one last time

With a final burst of fireworks, Swornim screams, 'THANK YOU!' into the cheering crowd. Chameliya had made its debut, Swornim had done her job.

Sam Smith & Jack Baxter - "Wrong Man (Why Do You Love Him?)"
Tune: "El Tango De Roxanne" from the film Moulin Rouge!
Original Composers: Mariano Martinez, Gordon Summer


Sam Smith and Jack Baxter were collaborating on the WorldVision stage as a duo. Jack and Sam had been Mister Xian entrants before, but separately (Jack in WorldVision 31, Sam as part of The Kumquats in WorldVision 32), so there was a lot of pressure to make sure that Jack and Sam were working well together. Strangely for a duet, this song features no verses in unison.

The song started dank and dark. There was a man and woman on the front of the stage, performing an Argentine Tango, in a solitary spotlight. When the strings suddenly burst into the song, the rest of the stage is shrouded in light. Jack Baxter is standing on the front left corner, Sam Smith on the front right corner, facing at a 45 degree angle away from the stage. The dancers, are in many ways, the forefront of this song, with Jack and Sam providing effectively backing music. Blue refers to Jack only, red refers to Sam only. Sam had the first line to sing, as the dancers continued to dance.

He'll drive you, oh,
He'll drive you, oh,
He'll drive you, oh,


The dancers launched into a huge lift as Sam sings his next line, as the male lifted his featherweight female up and she posed dramatically as she draped over his shoulder.

Maaaaaaaad!

Wrong man:
He won't make you look like a woman,
Stalks you every single night,
He doesn't care if it's wrong or if it is right.
Wrong man:
He'll make you go and get that drink tonight.
Wrong man:
He'll go and steal your money in the night.


The dancers start doing fast, complicated leg actions, as they hook their legs around one another. It really is something to watch, which is why Sam and Jack are trying not to draw attention to themselves but to the fabulous dancers. The music becomes marginally quieter, and Jack now has a verse.

He stares into your face,
He takes you and grabs your hand,
He still will watch you scream,


Jack tries now to make an effort. It's time to draw attention to himself.

He's totally the wrong man!


The dancers show the passion in their eyes, as Jack and Sam are singing at the same time, but not singing the same thing, which is quite strange, but the interest is still with the dancers, as they go into a very difficult sequence of lifts. The female is rotated and is dangling upside down, but the male does not like her feistiness.


(Wrong man)
Why do you love him?
(Wrong man)
He's one I despise!
You're free to love him
But just don't let him
Kill you, leave him now, or he will,
He'll kill you!


Jack and Sam slowly turn to face each other and walk slowly towards the dancers, whilst the female, passionately, but reluctantly, dances with the male dancer. The male dancer engages in inaudible dialogue with her. She sees that Jack and Sam are there, and she indicates with her facial expressions that she wants to be released from that man in the middle.

The solitary guitar plays and the dancers stop. The man, however, still has a grasp of the female's hand, and so Sam moves towards her during the viola solo. As the viola crescendos, the male clocks what he is doing, and so throws the girl down onto the stage. He then stares at Sam, as Jack on the other side races to haul the girl off the floor and into his arms. Sam slowly backs away from the impending staredown, and Jack begins to dance with the girl, whilst holding the microphone. It's perfect dancing, it's stunning.


Wrong man
He won't make you look like a woman
Why do you love him?

He'll make you go and get that drink tonight.
He's one I despise!


A backing choir provides a choral background on stage, as the man on the stage suddenly edges closer and closer to Sam, in a very intimidating and dramatic way.

Wrong man:
He won't make you look like a woman,
Wrong man:
He'll make you go and get that drink tonight.
Wrong maaaaaaaaan...


Jack's dancing with the girl becomes more and more passionate. They work beautifully together. It's how an Argentine Tango should be done. The chemistry between them is intense.

As the music reaches its climax, the male dancer intimidates Sam more and more. But Sam holds his ground.At the very last chord, the male punches Sam as Jack and the girl are about to kiss, leaving Sam on the ground, as the male walks towards the back of the stage, and the lights go out as Jack and the girl run over to Sam.

Queen de Teetha- "Have a child with you"
One Republic- Something I need

Queen de Teetha is a woman of 38 and has been trying to aspire her music career however, she has been trying since she was 15, 23 years ago and she was about to give up. However, she got a call from BVC International saying that they would like for her to sing on stage. At first, she was very scared because she hasn't performed in front of people in a long time. But, after long thought she decided to go ahead and sing the song they wanted her to sing. She wrote part of this song as she can't have children. But she is pregnant with one now.

As I wake up everyday
You lying beside me
Then I rub my stomach, to remember, how much I love you so…


It may be have been a onetime thing
It maybe not happen again
But the love inside of me, came out fully
And look where we are


And if we have another life, we’ll make a good family
We have something special
I am 7th months pregnant who is our gold
Coz if I want a child, you are a perfect dad


And If we go through this together
It will be successful, as you can see
Coz if I want a child, I'll have a child with you


I am sorry for arguments.
I am sorry for not trusting you
As I will say again, I couldn't have a child
I thought I will never feel this pain.


And if we have another life, we’ll make a good family
We have something special
I am 7 months pregnant who is our gold
Coz if I want a child, you are a perfect dad


And If we go through this together
It will be successful, as you can see
Coz if I want a child, I'll have a child with you


We might not be the right mix
But we can always try it, 'till the end
The end, oh yes


And if we have another life, we’ll make a good family
We have something special
I am 7 months pregnant who is our gold
Coz if I want a child, you are a perfect dad


And If we go through this together
It will be successful, as you can see
Coz if I want a child, I'll have a child with you

Rick Leg - "Communists".
Tune: William Blake - "Jerusalem"
Original composer: Hubert Parry


Humiliated in Fontvieille, Rick had had his restrictions lifted following his sex offences. As a result, he decided to sing this song.

The backlight was red to represent communism, as a communist flag was being burnt.

And did those feet in ancient time
Nationalise our industries?
And did those socialists of old
Put taxes at 80 per cent?


An image of socialist James Callaghan was brought onto the stage as the flag was laid on the stage on a bonfire. The picture was tossed into it.

And did they treat us as cattle
As numbers in a computer?
Because they're communists, communists!
They wasted 40 billion!


The communist flag and the picture finished burning. The stage's backlight changed to blue, as there was a big shrine to Margaret Thatcher in place, as Rick is now singing to the shrine.

Bring me privatised industries!
Bring me inflation that is low.
They'll want our cash - oh, business fold!
They will not hear your tales of woe.

They will not turn from their great plan,
No matter how insane it seems.
So we must build Thatcherism
And destroy them by any means!

"Hello, welcome to WorldVision Song Contest. Unfortunately, Peter P Larry was caught in the Antillia Master and there fore not commentating, one of the girls from "The Serpentents" can't longer come as they are performing. And finally, Tess Phillipa can't come either. So you have me, Jarred Barlow"

Opening Act

The Opening Act was very good, I mean the included the Grand British Kingdom of which we are apart of. So, thanks for that. I don't really get the crop thing going on. Is that this host nations life? It really got me pumped, so now I am ready for a good WorldVision Song Contest, are you? We are going live to The WorldVision Song Contest, 36, held in Müllhipu.

1. Grellenbyōsha-ga

Right, okay. This was okay. I mean it was creepy and there was a quite long wait between this act and the next act, however, this done well to start of the night. Will it get any points from us? Maybe so. I would also like to announce that we are not doing the jury vote this time. It will be all up to you.

2. Nobreloen

They put in a very impressive bid and I thought that they were going to win because it was so detailed, the most detailed ever. So, I am proud of them but I think that they should've won. However, we are in Müllhipu so let's put that behind us. WIP

3. Teague

Alright, love! I get it, I get it. Broken. My gosh. She is a bit prissy in it? Anyway, other than the scream of BROKEN in my face, it was a good song. Was it the best song they put forward, no. I think 35 was much better.

Take Me Away
Image


Expecting a third- to seventh-place finish in WorldVision 35, Tödlichebujoku's WorldVision committee was rather surprised at the success of Tekata's "Sunlight", which placed second after a close battle with the winner Polkopia. This unexpected overachievement, coupled with the number 36 being seen as a lucky number for Tödlichebujoku in WorldVision, led to the selection of Tekata's colleague Seppo Takala and his song "Take Me Away" to represent the nation in WV36.
Though he is several years older than Tekata, Seppo Takala works in the same genre but has a slightly different, more organic take on his music. His more conventional approach has garnered acclaim among critics, though some wonder if the song may not be catchy enough or clear enough about its premise. Seppo has expressed his satisfaction with the song and performance through social media, so it is certainly up to his standards. Will it hold up to the standards of the world? It just might, if the hint that both Tekata and Veli Pinheiro approve of it has any substance.

An Ice blue pulse flashes across the stage accents, then the lights brighten to reveal Seppo kneeling on the stage and beginning to look up. Light snow falls upon the stage, which glows white
Glancing up, to see the sun
Right now I can't decide if I want to run
So deep in thought, trudging on
Wondering if I am truly wrong

He stands and looks behind him, then turns back to the audience
Stop to take a breath, is this anywhere I wanted to be?
Turn around, and realize, that nothing's right...

The view zooms in on his face, hope brightening both his expression and his voice
But I hear your voice now, I see you coming, oh

The spotlights intensify and Seppo closes his eyes, and reaches out to the arena. At the end of the second stanza he opens his eyes and begins to back away from the audience
So I close my eyes and face the light
As if we had just met today
Now I feel your heat as you reach on out
I beg you to take me away

Don't ask me how, don't ask me why
Please, just let me feel you
Take me away, take me away, away, with you

The snow thickens considerably, and wind kicks up on the main part of the stage. Seppo makes his way to the unaffected platform projecting out into the audience
Just take me away

The weather effects diminish back to light snow, and Seppo kneels down, then hugs himself and closes his eyes
Hold on tight, and test the ground
I don't want to lose you while I'm down
Hold me close, soul to soul
Shield me from the heartless, bitter cold

He rises, looking straight into the view. His voice exudes a powerful sense of longing, and he raises his arm, fingers extended as if to touch something
Safe and sound tonight, falling for you all over again
Your topaz eyes... pull me in... don't let me go...

Seppo retracts his arm, and places his hand on his chest
My heart is burning, it's racing fast now

The lights intensify again, and Seppo closes his eyes and reaches out. This time, however, the view pans directly in front of him, as if Seppo is singing to viewers directly, instead of just at the audience in the arena
So I close my eyes and face your light
As if we had just met today
And you feel my heat as I reach on out
And beg you to take me away

Don't ask me how, don't ask me why
Please, just let me hold you
Take me away, take me away, away, with you

The blizzard on the main part of the stage kicks up again, though this time Seppo is safely away on the platform. The platform itself slowly begins to rise as Seppo falls to his knees
I beg you to take me away
Just take me away
I beg you to take me away, take me away

With the platform still rising and a few snowflakes falling around him, the view revolves below him, looking up as he sings his final lines. The poignancy (or perhaps desperation) of the words come through strongly in his voice
Take me away, take me away, away, with you

As the music ends, the blizzard ceases and all lights dim except for those on Seppo himself, who closes his eyes and hangs his head, as if in despair. After a few moments, the audience begins clapping and cheering wildly

Seppo stands up as the platform sinks back to stage level. "Kiitos, thank you all," he murmured into the microphone, spotting and grinning to Tekata before exiting the stage. The excess snow is cleaned off and the stage dried before the next act.

OOC: The national fruit of Yttribia...the clementine is here!

/ 28 - Yttribia /
/ Catherine Marie and The Fall - Wars /

/ Language(s): English, French /

To the tune of: "Speed the Collapse" by Metric

Image

Image
The twenty-nine year old singer, Catherine Marie Brooks in her WorldVision outfit before she takes stage.

Image
Accompanying Catherine Marie are four experienced musicians from the German-speaking region of Obersinn. From left to right, Volker Braun (mandolin/rhythm guitar), Sigfried Klose (bass guitar), Wilhelm Herbst (drums), Franz D'Alembert (lead guitar).


After an impressive act by the host nation, the five performers were now on the stage, as it was covered in a low mist of fog. The thirty-two thousand in attendance are now in awe with the near darkness the arena has fallen in to.

A soft female voice was heard through the arena, as Catherine Marie dedicated the song in the dark "to those affected by the Regime, left in the dark."

A dark blue light is the only thing that is illuminating the stage, with a somewhat sky blue spotlight shines on Volker Braun playing the mandolin. Soon, Herbst, Klose, and D'Alembert are shone with the same blue spotlights, and begin to join in; D'Alembert's acoustic electric guitar is being played smoothly throughout. A contrasting white spotlight is placed on Catherine Marie, who begins to sing.

Our whole world set aflame
Having anthems left astray
A whole nation in relapse
As society now collapsed
How do we convey?
Saw our family friends were dead
No fascists foiled as tears were shed
With a lack for remedy
And our voices now wheezed:
Free me from my chains
Free me from my chains!


The chorus kicked in, as a sudden stunning lights in blue and white were now flashing. The drums were in full force, as they echoed throughout the venue heavily. The struggle of the Yttribian people during the fascist regime was now shown with the chorus.

Held at bay, by a sword
Forced to be on all fours
Every voice now was floored
Sadly happed in due course
Dirty fascists ruled with force
With injustice in our courts
We as people now swore
That we would wage wars


Catherine Marie sent out a message everyone in the nation had during the Corvax regime, wanting everyone to liberate themselves from the hatred of the nation at the time.

Escape the hate now


The song toned down in power, as the stunningly good duo of Braun's mandolin and Herbst's drums were soothing the nation with the story being told by Catherine Marie.

And with our hearts now aghast
Free speech fell too fast
Across the sea was liberty
Yet we faced hostilities
From there and back
And, the regime burdened the soul
As we promised to wage wars
With a sense of clarity
Hear our voices now scream:
Free me from my chains
Free me from my chains!


The chorus kicked in one last time, with everyone on stage giving their full effort to let out their story via song. This was a way in which the Yttribians could mend their hearts after a dark period in their time. It allowed the nation to come to terms with the atrocities many saw, but were unable to speak up. Catherine Marie was doing what every Yttribian wanted to do, and that was to let out a cry of anger. Her passion for what she was singing was now prevalent in the chorus, as she sang her heart out.

Held at bay, by a sword
Forced to be on all fours
Every voice now was floored
Sadly happed in due course
Dirty fascists ruled with force
With injustice in our courts
We as people now swore
That we would wage wars!


One last call to all of those prejudicing the prejudiced, hoping to unite the worlds once and for all.

Escape the hate now
Escape the hate now
Escape the hate now
Escape the hate now


As the song ended on the final chord, the members of The Fall made their way to centre stage, and bowed to the audience along with Catherine Marie.

Művelet (Action) by MUSES
to the tune of Via Gra- Peremirie


After a 6th place finish last edition, the group MUSES (Dila, Puteri and Lin) came home to a country bursting with pride. The last few contests bode mixed results and failed host bids, but the trio seemed to get the nation back in form. Originally set to perform at the World Hit Festival in neighboring Kalosia, they were switched at the last minute for unknown reasons.




The song began with a xylophone intro, as the lights rose. Dila was seen first, on a human pyramid. On their backs, as they swayed, were the lyrics of the melody in several languages. She was seen in a gold, high-fashion body suit.


line 1
En vagyok nem ha egy nő hátrahúzva (I am, as a woman, being held back)
Én nem vagyok szabad , és nem én testem (I am not free, nor is my body)
line 4


The camera cuts to Puteri, wearing the same gold body suit Dila had. She was lying on top of several men on the left side of the pyramid, blending herself in. As the verse progressed, she picked herself up. She takes an unseen stairway of sorts (what's holding up the human pyramid) to join Dila at the top.

Ha én állvány (If I stand here)


The two women are now on top of the pyramid singing the melody.

Meg kell most vegye művelet! (I must take action now)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action)
A hangunkat, kifogások, (Our voices, our pleas)
Vérontás a vesztett csaták (Our shed blood and lost battles)
Nem soha némítva(Must never be silenced)

Meg kell vegye művelet! (I must take action)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action)
A hangunkat, kifogások, (Our voices, our pleas)
Vérontás a vesztett csaták (Our shed blood and lost battles)
Nem soha némítva(Must never be silenced)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action!)


Lin started walking from the far left side of the runway to the center, singing the next 2 verses.

verse 3+4


The three then stood in front of the (now quite large) human pyramid, still moving to the song and copying their movements. The camera zoomed tight, and on TV screens the shot was divided to see each members facial expressions as they chanted the first line, then joining in unison for the rest as the camera zoomed out. A small section of the arena behind them was lit up in Bloodbathian colors, another larger section in gold.

Meg kell most vegye művelet! (I must take action now)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action)
A hangunkat, kifogások, (Our voices, our pleas)
Vérontás a vesztett csaták (Our shed blood and lost battles)
Nem soha némítva(Must never be silenced)

Meg kell vegye művelet! (I must take action)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action)
A hangunkat, kifogások, (Our voices, our pleas)
Vérontás a vesztett csaták (Our shed blood and lost battles)
Nem soha némítva(Must never be silenced)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action!)


There was a quick dance breakdown, with backing vocals echoing the last line as the girls let themselves be carried up back onto the top of the pyramid. The camera came very close to each of the three members, and each made quick eye contact before jumping to the next shot. This led into the final reprise of the melody as they stood mightily atop the pyramid.

Meg kell vegye művelet! (I must take action)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action)
A hangunkat, kifogások, (Our voices, our pleas)
Vérontás a vesztett csaták (Our shed blood and lost battles)
Nem soha némítva(Must never be silenced)
Nekünk kell vegye művelet. (We have to take action!


The three said a quick "Thank You, Müllhipu!" as the crowd roared. Their placing last edition was hard to top, but they had made their country proud once again.

Alfaans, 24, former STE commentator of the WorldVision Song Contest is the fifth ever representative flying the flag for Ekoz. He is dressed in a long white t-shirt, black leather trousers, white hightops and a red checkered shirt around his waist.




As Alfaans stands center stage, he adjusts his microphone. The entire stage is dark, with an LED background of plain white when the first bell sounds. On the first line of the song, dancers wearing flowy clothing with pieces hanging off. The dancers surround Alfaans in a circle, with Alfaans at the center

It’s the time! This story begins for you
It’s the time! Create a new destiny
It’s the time! They’ll never take over you
It’s the time! Don’t ever give up on you


As the clapping of the song starts, the dancers around Alfaans do a tribal dance, with their hands slapping on the floor, on themselves and others in a form of choreographed routines, See here for a demonstration

It’s the time! You’ve waited a while for this
It’s the time! This wonder you cannot miss
It’s the time! Eternally wild and free
It’s the time! Spread out for the higher peace


The dancers continue with their clapping choreographed dance routine around Alfaans, after that the stage then brightens, the LED flooring turning a silver colour. The dancers then stand and stand behind Alfaans, reaching out to him.

Don’t listen to a word they say,
Your power never fades away,
Freedom is what you seek!
But don’t wait, the time is now, the time is now!


The dancers then go back to doing their clapping dance routine, however this time they are boxed around Alfaans, and can be seen moving more rapidly and aggressively as the orchestral backing track comes in.

It’s the time! It all depends on you,
It’s the time! Your choice is the final cue
It’s the time! The cue for freedom; we need.
It’s the time! So choose it and set us free,


The dancers again complete their routine. The camera pans directly around Alfaans and the stage. As the chorus comes back in. The dancers stop until the beat kicks in. On the heavy beats, the camera pans to two drummers banging bongos. The dancers continue.

Don’t listen to a word they say,
Your power never fades away,
Freedom is what you seek!
But don’t wait, the time is now, the time is now!

Don’t listen to the things they do,
They may not ever come to you,
Freedom is all we seek!
So seek it, the time is now, the time is now!


Alfaans moves away from the microphone and walks into the group of dancers. As the orchestral music continutes to build. Alfaans takes off his shirt, and joins in with the dancers. Around 10 dancers are completeling this choreography in sync with the camera panning directly at the stage. On the final beat, the dancers are on their knees, and raise both hands to the ceiling.





Alfaans: Thankyou! Thank you for having us Todlichubujoku! Taak -se!

COMMENTARY


Due to a lack of Latin viewing figures, the commentators have been asked to talk in English, and so the Latin feed is no longer available (Mister X being bilingual). MRX ONE therefore hosts the commentary, with Robert Baxter and Craig Rebel Snorewood.



Robert: Good evening, Mister X! Welcome to the 36th WorldVision Song Contest, live from, er, Mole-hip-you, in Todlichebujoku. I'm going to have a lot of fun pronouncing that tonight. I'm not joined by Sam Smith this time, as he's one of our entrants tonight, and Ronnie Squawker is still in prison, so it gives me great pleasure to welcome Craig Rebel Snorewood to the box.
Craig: Hello, darling.
Robert: Let's get started.

OPENING ACT

Robert: I don't get this farmy theme.
Craig: The dancers were slightly flat-footed, it was too clinical and too placed, there was no sense of fun.
Robert: Cheer up, you. It's Worldvision. Up first, it's, er... Grellenbyosha-Ga. Or something like that.

01 GRELLENBYOSHA-GA

Craig: I thought it was too dubsteppy, too flat, and not right.
Robert: I'd forgotten I had dubstep-phobia. That was bearable if a bit on the dreadful side. To vote for Grellenboa... Greenal, Gre--oh, for Thatcher's sake, you know who I mean, dial 9 12 12 01 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 01 from a landline. Second tonight is Nobreloen.

02 NOBRELOEN

Craig: Darling, POINT YOUR FEET WHEN SITTING DOWN!
Robert: You're right, I'm afraid. It wasn't very good sitting, was it?
Craig: The performance didn't suit the music either, darling.
Robert: You are right.
Craig: 9 12 12 02, or 01721 12 12 02. Who's next?
Robert: Teague, with a Marilyn Monroe lookalike.

03 TEAGUE

Robert: It was a broken Slate... get it?
Craig: Complete laaaugh disaaaaaster, daaaaarling.
Robert: To vote for Teague, dial 9 12 12 03 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 03 from a landline.

04 LYMANTATIA

05 IZMEDU

Robert: Quite an odd entry, wasn't it?
Craig: Yes, darling.
Robert: To vote for Izmedu, dial 9 12 12 05 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 05 from a landline.
MISTER X
WV29: 19th, debut
WV30: 10th, first top 10
WV31: 8th, new PB
WV33: 3rd, new PB
WV34: 6th, first hosting
WVYF: 11th, last place
WV52: 2nd, new PB

31. Polkopia
Together, by Anton Redd
Tune: Freaky Fortune - Γη και Ουρανός
Lanugage: English


Anton Redd, winning the Landa vy Polkopiya with his song, Together, stood on the stage, accompanied by three backing singers who stood at the far back of the stage. Anton wore a semi-formal suit, and the stage lit up as the piano tune began to play. The squares on the ceiling lit up and dimmed out in sync with the piano notes.

I know it's not easy
To deal with life's troubles
And dealing with them alone

No one is out there
To help you through this
But I'll be there by your side


The lights turned bright, but only for a second, as the chorus started. Anton held his arms out wide as smoke shot out from each side of him while he sang.

Together, me and you, can get through it all
Together your troubles will just be a memory
I'll help you like you've helped me before
And I know-oh-oh, we'll get through this


The backing singers chimed in with various "Ah" noises as Anton continued to sing.

I know it may seem tough when out here all alone
But me, I'll help you through it all
Life can be cruel, we both know that first hand
But I'll be there by your side


Anton gripped the mid stand and leaned forward as he sang the chorus again.

Together, me and you, can get through it all
Together your troubles will just be a memory
I'll help you like you've helped me before
And I know-oh-oh, we'll get through this


Anton and his backup singers sang "Ah" in unison as the music continued to play out. Eventually Anton would pause, but to only sing a line.

Together, you and me


The music stopped and Anton stepped closer to the mic stand, looked directly into the camera and sang softly.

Together, me and you, can get through it all
Together your troubles will just be a memory
I'll help you like you've helped me before
And I know-oh-oh, we'll get through this


The music came back and Anton ripped the microphone from its stand, jumped forward and crouched, pointing at the crowd as he sang.

Together, me and you, can get through it all
Together your troubles will just be a memory
I'll help you like you've helped me before
And I know-oh-oh, we'll get through this


Anton stood back up and his backing singers approached the front of the stage with him. 2 of them could now be identified as female, and one of them male. Anton and his singers once again sang "Ah" again and again until it was his turn to sing again.

Together, you and me


Together, you and me


With that, the song ended and Anton and his backup singers all held hands and bowed at once before exiting the stage.

COMMENTARY OF WORLDVISION 36
WITH ADÓM ÒGÉNSKI AND ALICJA CHËMKÔ
OPENING SONG - No. 10



OPENING SONG
Alicja: So here we are in Mëlchipù, everyone!
Adóm: It's Müllhipu, Alicja.
Alicja: Honey, don't bicker. Instead let's talk about the opening song of WorldVision 36!
Adóm: I like it, although it sounds a bit generic and samey.
Alicja: I like to call it the "WorldVision host curse". Nevertheless, it's a start for WV36!! WOOO!
Adóm: Have you got into the alcohol again?


1. GRELLENBYŌSHA-GA
Adóm: Now the song from the nation no one can pronounce.
Alicja: When you can tongue-tie a Regican speaker, something is very wrong.
Adóm: Regarding the song, it's pretty good for a dubstep-ish tune. I like it.
Alicja: And I have a hankering for pizza.
Adóm: What?


2. NOBRELOEN
Alicja: Such a nice beat!
Adóm: Mmmhh, it's nice, I'm just not very good with electronica. Doesn't agree with me.
Alicja: Like my cooking?
Adóm: Exactly.


3. TEAGUE
Alicja: I love the lyrics....Adóm, are you crying?
Adóm: No...I just have something in my eyes.
Alicja: Oh honey, it's okay to say a song made you emotional.
Adóm: I'm a man, GODDAMNIT!
Alicja; It made you cry, didn't it?
Adóm: No, no it- it did. I'm such a wuss.


4. LYMAN


5. IZMEDU
Adóm: Well, it's loud.
Alicja: And I feel that's all. The lyrics seem sort of...generic.
Adóm: How much electronica am I going to deal with tonight.
Alicja: A lot Adóm. A lot.


6. ARLNONSEN
Alicja: I like the beat. Sounds mystical. And the performance was astounding!
Adóm: It's kind of too slow though. Not enough to keep someone interested.
Alicja: Adóm, stopping being an ass and enjoy yourself! WOOOO!
Adóm: Seriously, Alicja, have you snuck in alcohol?


7. TALVEZOUT
Adóm: I really, really like this! WOOO!
Alicja: That's the spirit! Here, have some beer to celebrate this awesome song!
Adóm: I knew it. Hand me a glass!


8. REGICA
Adóm: Do..do you remember the...uh..uh...
Alicja: Civil war?
Adóm: Jo, jo. I...I was in it!
Alicja: We all were, Adóm. Oh my God, your breath! Are you drunk?
Adóm: I was in it, and you know, I hid and I went PEW PEW PEW and...
Alicja: That's nice dear.
Adóm: ...and I killed a man.


9. ELEJAMIE
Alicja: I like the beat, and the lyrics are so, well...appropriate for that type of song. However, the beat grates after awhile, and the singer's voice is-
Adóm: EJ! This reminds me of a joke! A Ekozian, a Kishreali, and a stinky Elejamien walk into a crack house- *The signal is cut*.


10. HOLY REPUBLICAN EMPIRE
Alicja: And we're back! Adóm taking a bit of a break, so with me now is Ophelia Auilius. Welcome Ophelia!
Ophelia: Quid?
Alicja: Do...do you speak Regican?
Cameraman: She's from the Mixed Coopanonvian language channel.
Ophelia: Ego occisum vetula mea curru.
Alicja: Goddamnit. Anyways, on with the show! To say all I have to say: I hate this! Blatant pandering and intolerance at the highest level. And that speech after! Who the hell would- Ophelia, stop praying and get off the floor.
Ophelia: Commemorantur sexum delinquenti sum.

OOC: I'm RPing this as if this occurred after the Winter Olympics, as the closing cutoff for songs is after the final day of competition.

Electrumite Commentary - Part 1 - Network ENN

Max Hardwell: Hello all, and we are here in Todlichebujoku for the 36th edition of WorldVision. Can we repeat out success last time?
Sonya Portelli: Or will we be a one-time wonder? Sit down, take off your socks and join us here at Muhlfeld Arena, Müllhipu.

A short one minute package is shown and televised, showing a timelapse of the arena filling up, the theme is played throughout, and it showcases both the singers of this edition, the Electrumite singers, and the highlights of last edition. It then showcases the crops of each of the nations and a countdown appeared... it started off immediately with the opening song, a chance for the hosts to show what's to come.

Max Hardwell: Now now Sonya, don't you hating off the foreign language songs then.
Sonya Portelli: Only if you take back what you said last time, that we were going to come last. Third place isn't last.
Max Hardwell: But 39th achieved by our diplomatic offices almost certainly is.
Sonya Portelli: Hush Max, the songs starting.

0. Opening - Can't Stop Dancing in Müllhipu (Cream of the Crop)

Sonya: That was pretty good
Max: Solid start, let's hope the hosts can continue that form in the song
Sonya: Jeez I'm jetlagged, we just finished the Closing Ceremony in Baseton, and we're here for another WorldVision
Max: At least we recovered from our figure skating injuries after our bet eh?
Sonya: My back is still sore...
Max: Did you hear that? The whole nation is homosexual or bisexual
Sonya: I can already feel the tension running up the Republican spine...
Max: Don't remind me of their Bible-filled opening ceremony please! Anything but that...

1. Grellenbyōsha-ga- - Please Don't Ignore Us
Sonya: We'll try not to!
Max: The song is about to start, shh!
--
Max: Grey Fen Beer Shaga?
Sonya: Grellenbyōsha-ga. Tödlichebujoku. Grellenbyōsha-ga. Tödlichebujoku.
Max: Forget it, I'm not going to learn.
Sonya: The o is long, that's it. Anyways, the theme of music is just not right. It's far too dubsteppy.
Max: Untraditional, but I see nothing wrong with it.
Sonya: It just doesn't make sense to me.
Max: Okay, now that you mention it, this scares me a bit.

2. Nobreloen - Maerun Nein/Seize the Day
Max: We were really by ourselves last time supporting their song, weren't we?
Sonya: mm. Not getting the same vibes as last time.
Max: A lot of electromatic songs we've been getting eh?
Sonya: That's a trend. It's a modern day Carpe Diem.
Max: I like it, but that's all it is.

3. Teague - Broken
Sonya: Is she slurring her words?
Max: No, no
Sonya: I have to admit, the pick me up pick me up bit is very catchy.
Max: If you're asking me now, no, Sonya, I'm not going to do that.
Sonya: Alright song, I think it was better than last time.

4. Lymantatia - Ba-Ba 1983
Max: What on earth are those lyrics!
Sonya: It was such a great tune, but those lyrics totally butchered the song up...
Max: Suffers the same weakness as last time, if only effort was put into the lyrics. We would have a winner, but this is not their day.
Sonya: Next!

5. Izmedu - Run Free
Max: Really belted out, solid entry
Sonya: It's a different entry and it works

6. Arlnonsen - Life
Sonya: Much better showing by the Elke and Elbans
Max: A bit repetitive on the lyrics
Sonya: But it's a strong entry, and should do well
Max: It's got that atmosphere, doesn't it? The way she croons her voice.
Sonya: Kind of like our song. Excellent.

7. Talvezout - We Exist
Sonya: Seems the trend is to make songs about ignoring people
Max: Haha, anyways, the song's lyrics are good
Sonya: Really love the drumming bassey beats as well
Max: You do exist Talvezout!

8. Regica - „Jô ani”
Sonya: I'm sorry for railing them again, but this is not my cup of tea
Max: A bit too much TMI about the war
Sonya: Give me an English song any other day...

9. Elejamie - Cannibal
Max: It just doesn't fit into this kind of music contest
Sonya: They were so, so good last time too.
Max: Give us some harmonies, or some changes in pitch, anything!
Sonya: Might get some votes for us, might not. Borderline.

10. Holy Republican Empire - Only God in my World
Max: Booo Free Republics!
Sonya: It's the Holy Republican Empire, and we have to say it correctly this time, because it is WorldVision
Max: Fine. HRE. Do you remember in Baseton, the figure skating medal ceremony for the ice dancing when we won all three medals?
Sonya: They boo'd the heck out of us, I remember that.
Max: And do you remember their bible-inspired opening ceremony? When I-ee-zus was born?
Sonya: Go on?
Max: This harks back to that. Disappointing.
Sonya: I liked their Nicholls-backed Legion of Lucifer song last time too.
Max: Too much god, just overdone like their opening ceremony. NEXT.

11. Iesusisgodistan - Gregory the Phony God
Sonya: And here comes Iesusisgodistan - their debut as I understand - and an island off the coast of the Esportivan Gregoryisgodistan
Max: This just smells of Holy Republican Empire, but we'll reserve judgement until the song ends
---
Sonya: I'm ashamed to admit it, but I love it
Max: No! Sonya, really?
Sonya: I'm guilty, but this is so fun!
Max: A bit lighthearted for the Church of Iesus Christus, that's for sure
Sonya: If you wanted to spread a message, this is how you do it
Max: I did hear our former protectorate, Coconut Isles have also moved close by to Iesusisgodistan and Gregoryisgodistan

12. Gregoryisgodistan - Do You Want To Blow Up Saintland?
Sonya: Singer 8290JASNDASDA8D...
Max: From one -istan to another.
Sonya: .... I love this one too.
Max: No! You can't!
Sonya: At least we can agree with the Gregoryisgodistan of their unapproval of Saintland, the Consul, and the Republicans.
Max: But let's not set them on fire.

13. Electrum - Dreamland
Sonya: I'm gobsmacked.
Max: I thought it was a better entry than last time, I love the song
Sonya: It's so avantgarde, and so expressive and emotive
Max: A bit of a slow start, but we got there in the end
Sonya: I am so happy for this song, this is, in my opinion, stronger than the other one we had last time
Max: We'll see what the multiverse thinks before the jury is out. It's a strong edition this time.
Sonya: Diplomatic Offices up next, and presented by... Gertrude Pullman... again

14. Electrum Diplomatic Offices - Sore Knee
Max: Says exactly what's on the tin
Sonya: She went off on a tangent yet again
Max: That poor audience member, gruel, taze... This lady is insane
Sonya: She's not going to do well. Maybe she'll get last this time round, instead of second last
Max: We'll see about that.

15. Gloriax - Spring has Ended
Sonya: Boy band alert!
Max: Their debut, and I am impressed.
Sonya: Needs that little push of oomph, but it's a good song and nice lyrics
Max: Little bit of symbolism too, excellent
Sonya: Hey, so you did brush up on symbolism since last edition, I AM impressed!
Max: And you're sober too, but let's not get into that.

16. Titaniumland - Never Been Better
Max: The song exudes confidence
Sonya: A step up from last time
Max: It's getting harder and harder to separate the songs
Sonya: It's been a good edition so far from what I see.
Max: I just don't know who to vote for!

17. Puppetville - I Like Death
Max: Revolting. Absolutely.
Sonya: The acid, fire, repetition. Not good.

18. Britonisea - Song
Max: Surprisingly succinct and emotional
Sonya: It doesn't feel like it should mesh well, but it kind of does.
Max: Hmm... Maybe they'll grab some points off our votes.

19. Normandy and Picardy - Wrong Side
Sonya: Some lines are a bit iffy - the hound that is lust?
Max: You're being a bit too harsh, but it's a good quality song
Sonya: Definitely stronger than their last effort... if that's saying something.

20. Sumaltheria - Eternity
Max: Shaky start with the mobius line being a bit jarring, but... It is a high quality song.
Sonya: I'll forgive the lyrics, if only for that instrumentation!
Max: That was pretty spectacular, actually.

21. Gaciadia - All I Dream About
Sonya: Sorry, it's getting a bit too generic now
Max: It's still a good song, you can't deny that
Sonya: We can't keep calling every song a good song
Max: That's all I'm sayin'

22. Kishrael - Fuck It All
Max: Really, dance music?
Sonya: Hm, I do rather enjoy ballads better, but this is better than last time, at least in my point of view.
Max: Really? I'm not so sure... Could it survive this crowd?
Sonya: Maybe.

23. Chameliya - One Last Time
Max: I think I need to sit down
Sonya: We already are!
Max: This is really hard to process..
Sonya: The voice... it's just a bit off in places
Max: But it is just so triumphant, something different, something unique.
Sonya: Definitely. Once in a blue moon song I reckon, and they are very brave for putting that out.

24. Mister X - Wrong Man
Sonya: Now this is bold
Max: Very different to what we've seen before.
Sonya: Sam's voice is just too gruffy
Max: Jack was definitely a lot better
Sonya: Music is of a different variety, and I would say on par with last time, so well done to them.

25. The Grand British Kingdom - Have a Child with You
Sonya: A really dainty song, but the lyrics or style of this song just isn't appropriate for this competition.
Max: No, you certainly would not see that kind of thing in WorldVision

26. Missus X - Communists
Max: Oh my.
Sonya: Another political message, and one I agree with. Communism is evil.
Max: But this song just doesn't fit at all.
Sonya: Does too. Margaret Thatcher is there too
Max: Oh my, I think I'm going to faint.

27. Todlichebujoku - Take Me Away
Sonya: The first use of weather, if I remember correctly
Max: I just feel like their song last edition was much more better
Sonya: It was definitely a lot more expressive, but this just falls a bit flat
Max: Which is a shame.

28. Yttribia - Wars
Max: We've ragged on about political songs... but this merits consideration.
Sonya: Agreed. Politics should be left out of WorldVision, no idea why our political office is there, but never mind that...
Max: This is something else.
Sonya: Gets the message through, not overtly pushy, different style of music than what we're used to. Good job.
Max: Excuse me while I shed a tear... war is never good.

29. Bloodbath Generation - Művelet (Action)

30. Ekoz - It's The Time
Max: Wow! This is good!
Sonya: Definitely unique, more memorable than last time.
Max: It might not curry favour with the others, but top marks from us.

SHOP OWNER- Public Executions Do It All
Shop Owner enters the stage to a loud cheer from Swordean supporters, but a large amount of supporters who know what song he's singing start booing. He starts off.

Every day, we kill
It's not really like you know it
Beheading, shooting
You know it all!


Shooting like a sport!
That's all we do!
Cos Public Executions do it all!
Oh yea!
Public executions do it all!


You know that time, when we killed your Uncle Jeff?
That time, we beheaded your friend?
That time, we bombed that house next door?
Cos Public Executions do it all!


Shooting like a sport!
That's all we do!
Cos Public Executions do it all!
Oh yea!
Public executions do it all!


Shootin' robbers everyday!
The Swordean government rules, OK!
And they really want to shoot us!
But we don't care...


Sh-shootin' like a sport!
That's all we do! Yea!
Cos Public Executions do it all!
Oh yea!
Public executions, yea, PUBLIC EXECUTIONS DO IT ALL!


The booing is now drowned out by the Swordean cheering for their president/prime minister/God/boss who will hopefully get victory for the Swordeans. Th Swordeans are staying in the arena, for the Swordean Hostorical Society song.

Song: Je suis Charlie
Author: Al-Mahedi Mruter Krah , Brauss Katre Lehmentine

I write, I draw, I laugh, I outrage, I live, and Inform
after arrived the foundmentalist and they stop this, and the opinion right are trample


I am Charlie Hebdo
I died for the religious hate,
I only excercit the press liberty
and now I cry for the dies

Io sono Charlie Hebdo
per solo delle vignette
hanno fatto una inutile strage
e ora siamo 12 in meno

Ich seine Charlie Hebdo
heute die ziehl legenet,
warum er schalgst wirch kulture
die kulture von liberten.

Je suis Charlie Hebdo
nous marchons pour ces trois mots
libertè egalite et fraternitè,
nous rendrons jamais.

Екф ифшырум Срфкдшу руивщ {Tra baischew Charlie Hebdo}
среф ефдщц ьфефкфьщц {chra talow mataramow}
зку ысрфещм ьфкщылф бфеум {pre' schartov maroska matev}
екф ьфдуыл ефьфкултум {tra malesk tamareknev}

I am Charlie Hebdo
I died because they hate my thing,
this is my only error
for the religious foundamentalists.

Io sono Charlie Hebdo
E' ora di riprendermi la vita
e che questo genere di cose non succedono più
è ora di guardare in avanti

I write, I draw, I laugh, I outrage, I live, and Inform
after arrived the foundmentalist and they stop this, and the opinion right are trample


I am Charlie Hebdo
I died for the religious hate,
I only excercit the press liberty
and now I cry for the dies

I'm Charlie Hebdo
for only a cartoon
they have do a useless massacre
and now we are 12 in less

I'm Charlie Hebdo
today the sky cring
because they shoot the our culture
the cultur of liberty

I'm Charlie Hebdo
We march for these three word
liberty, equality and fraternity
we didn't forgot

I'm Charlie Hebdo
The hate will not win
the humanity can't accept this
the a man killed a another man

I am Charlie Hebdo
I died because they hate my thing,
this is my only error
for the religious foundamentalists.

I'm Charlie Hebdo
It's time to resume the my life
and this similiar things will don't nappen

ETV1 presents WorldVision 36 - English language commentary by Cerin Erali and Flynn Taggart

Image*

Image


CE: Welcome to WorldVision 36! Bienvenido a WorldVision 36! Yalcom WorldVision 36! Live, from... Mule-hippo?
FT: I did say they should host it somewhere else. In a city that can be said easily.
CE: However you say it, welcome to it. My name is Cerin Erali!
FT: And I am Flynn Taggart.
CE: And we'll be your English language commentators for this evening. For a Spanish commentary, Iyilim language commentary or to sing-along to each entry, please press the red button. Thanks. Para Español, Iyilim o karaoke, por favor pulse botón rojo. Gracias. Aspenol, Iyilim o cereoc - Ancelis o Aspenol, ne Iyilim - plaes toc rad boton. Fenci.
FT: And the WorldVision hotline is on standby.
CE: But also, for tech-savvy viewers, there's also the WorldVision app. Please wait until they say so before you start voting, otherwise it won't count and it'd be a waste of a few pensin. Now, shall we get started?
FT: Yes, let's. I have a feeling it's going to be a long night.


Opening Act

CE: I like that. It's very... dance-y.
FT: Yes, yes it is. It's going to set the mood tonight. I can feel it.


01 - Grellenbyōsha-ga

CE: With a beat like that, it's hard to forget you, Grellen-by-oh-sugar.
FT: I'll try.


02 - Nobreleon

CE: That's going into the charts over here! I just know it!
FT: Maybe. And I'll be sure to change the channel when it comes on.


03 - Teague

CE: I'm sorry, but I'm finding it hard to like this song.
FT: Welcome to my world.


04 - Lymantatia

CE: I liked the music, but the lyrics...?
FT: It makes you want to light up a bowl.
CE: Fortunately, I managed to bring in a bong, plus a little something for it.
FT: I think I might need it for this competition.


05 - Izmedu

CE: A nice pop ballad. Where can you go wrong?
FT: I can think of a few places.
CE: Either way, I can see this doing quite well tonight. Anything less than the top 15 and this contest is a sham.


06 - Arlnonsen

CE: Sounds like something from the 80s! But hey, a little retro doesn't hurt, right?
FT: True. And I thought it was alright.


07 - Talvezout

CE: Another 80s throwback! Seriously, I can't see this placing any lower than 10th.
FT: Neither can I, actually.


08 - Regica

CE: I don't know. This sounds a bit too similar to last year.
FT: Yes. I mean I liked it, but next year they should send someone a bit less... prog.


09 - Elejamie

FT: Ladies and gents, the sound you are hearing now is Elejamie's hopes going out the window and off Socrates Peak.
CE: I knew we should've sent Sataeveni.


10 - Free Republics

CE: From an anti-God song to a pro-God song.
FT: Or, accurately, from one bad song to another. I never really see the appeal of spreading faith with music.
CE: But don't you know? God is in the radio!
FT: OK, I admit I found that funny. Random but funny.


11 - Iesusisgodistan

FT: That's the biggest butchering of a carol since "It's a William Shatner Christmas".
CE: For once, I have to agree with you. I don't see this getting many points.
FT: I think you mean "any points".


12 - Gregoryisgodistan

FT: It's Gregoryisgodistan. What do you expect?
CE: No Gregory Llama Land, though.


13 - Electrum

CE: This sounds like it should be in a movie! Really, I like it.
FT: Yes, it's alright. Maybe they'll take it this year.


14 - Electrum Diplomatic Offices

CE: I'm sorry, Gertrude, I really want to like you, but...
FT: This was bad.
CE: We're sorry.


15 - Gloriax

CE: And this wasn't good either. I know metal's not really my thing, but I couldn't get into it.
FT: Better than ours, though?
CE: Not by much.


16 - Titaniumland

CE: An uplifting pop song. It'd probably do well in the charts and it'd probably do well tonight.
FT: We'll wait for the audience to decide.


17 - Puppetville

(Cerin and Flynn are silent in disbelief for a few seconds before one of them speaks)
FT: What.


18 - Britonisea

CE: The song was alright, but look at the audience getting all that free grub!
FT: Yes, it's a shame we ate before we came here.
CE: If there's some left...
FT: There won't be.


19 - Normandy and Picardy

CE: So far, this is my favourite. If this doesn't get into the top 10, then I'm boycotting this contest.
FT: It's a good song, but I don't go that far.


20 - Sumaltheria

CE: Well... I can see it doing well in the charts over here.
FT: No doubt about it.
CE: But for the contest? It doesn't look all that good, I'm afraid. I'm not saying it'll come last, I'm saying that the highest it'll get will be 10th.
FT: Did you like it, though?
CE: Yes, I did. In fact, I'll buy a copy when it comes out over here.

34. ESTENIA

Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ORhEE9VVg

Andrei: Hello, a large eurovision is being held in one of the most successfull countries of the Competition, Todlichebujoku(Yes, I didn't have to copy this one).
Ekaterina: Yes, after 33 songs, Estenia is entry number 34, with a young singer, at just 19 years, Maria Azerenova with Leak of Traces.
Both: Good Luck Estenia!

Maria Azerenova is on the stage with 4 dancers behind her, the rythm of the song starts playing and the dancers start dancing and she sings

1,2,3,4 shiny stars ahead of us
4 only 4 bright stars ahead of us
only you with me, it is just a dreaaaaam


Yes 4, only 4 stars to uncover this leak
Yes 4, only 4 stars to hide our traces
I forgot it's just a dreaaaaaaam


Dancers stop dancing and then explode as she starts singing

This is going to take forever
I know it's hard
But I'll try to keep this
hidden in the shadows

Come on why can't you hide
In the leak of traces
Where you belong!

This is still taking forever
I know it's hard
But I'll hide this
In the leak of traces!

And show you shadows
Out of nowhere

Then the rythm slows down a bit and she starts singing

I know it's not impossible
I'll try to hide this
In the leak of traces
Where, where, where it beloooongs.

then rythm goes back to normal, dancers still dance

This is gonna take forever
I know it's hard
But I'll try keep this
Hidden in the shadows

Come on why can't you hide
In the leak of traces
Where you belong!

This is still taking forever
I know it's hard
But I'll hide this
In the leak of traces!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is still taking forever
I know it's hard
But I'll hide this
In the leak of traces!


Then song stops and people applaud her, Estenians scream louder than a woman about to get murdered. Estenian flags waving everyone, signings writing 'Maria Azarenova is hot like her voice' 'Estenia is lucky' 'Maria Azarenova for winner' '#MariaAzarenovaToWin' and a lot others.

Image EKOZIAN GOVERNMENT ENTRY ON BEHALF OF EKOZIAN MILEA Image



Young girls and boys from Central Milea City High School are all stood in a neat choir organisation. The children are wearing their school uniforms, and each have an Ekozian flag badge pinned on the left sides of their shirts. Beside the stage are Ekozian Government officials. There is a band surrounding the choir, all wearing the ceremonial uniform of the Ekozian Army.

Due to ongoing uprisings and riots within the tiny Ekozian colony, the Ekozian Government had no option but to intervene with the outside perception of the sovereignty of Ekozian Milea. Thus, to remind the Island and nations of the world that Ekozian Milea belongs under the Ekozian Crown, the national anthem of Ekoz will represent Ekozian Milea at the 36th WorldVision Song Contest.

Ekozian Milea, an 'autonomous region' of the Great Kingdom of Ekoz. Although the EM Gov. have held numerous referendum in favour of independence, the Ekozian Government over-rule. Ekozian Milea still fights for independence.

COMMENTARY


Due to a lack of Latin viewing figures, the commentators have been asked to talk in English, and so the Latin feed is no longer available (Mister X being bilingual). MRX ONE therefore hosts the commentary, with Robert Baxter and Craig Rebel Snorewood.



Robert: Welcome back to the 36th WorldVision Song Contest. Next we have Arlnonsen.

06 ARLNONSEN

Craig: Complete song disaaaaaaaster.
Robert: Oh come on, admit it, that was OK.
Craig: No... I didn't like it. The number is 06. Talvezout next.

07 TALVEZOUT

Robert: No, sorry. Not my cup of tea.
Craig: I agree completely.
Robert: 01721 12 12 07 from a landline, 9 12 12 07 from a mobile. Shall we move on? Yes, let's.

08 REGICA

Robert: I liked it. But I didn't love it.
Craig: He was too flat-footed, I didn't like it.
Robert: You look for the stage performances, don't you?
Craig: Yes, daaaarling. It's 9 12 12 08 from a mobile; 01721 12 12 08 from a landline. Next... Elejamie.

09 ELEJAMIE

Craig: The roll over was too jerky.
Robert: Musically, though, it was very pleasing. 9 12 12 09 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 09 from a landline.

10 FREE REPUBLICS

Craig: FAB. U. LOUS.
Robert: Oh look, he enjoyed something!
Craig: It would be a travesty if they didn't win.
Robert: You can't say that, the lyrics are too Goddish. And just wait until Sam and Jack, I've seen our routine in rehearsals. It's like they had you in mind, Craig.
Craig: You've excited me, now, daaaarling. For Free Republics, add 10.

11 IESUSISGODISTAN

Robert: Yes, Iesusisgodistan does want to increase its status in the world. But it is an internal selection and I do not want Iesusisgodistan to increase its powers against the will of the people. Because, you know, there is no such thing as society, there are individual men and women, there are families, and no nation state can do anything except through the people. Iesusisgodistan's delegation said at a press conference the other day that he wanted Iesusisgodistan to win WorldVision, he wanted Free Republics second, and he wanted Gregoryisgodistan third. No. No. No. Or, perhaps the rest of the WorldVision entrants would give all our powers up? Easily! They would agree to a single WorldVision winner forevermore. It is a shocking song which does not deserve to be among us. The number is 11.

12 GREGORYISGODISTAN

Robert: Not again. They've only gone and set the fire alarm off again, so we'll be back shortly. In the meantime, here's Electrum.

13 ELECTRUM

[WE HAVE HAD TO INTERRUPT TRANSMISSION DUE TO A FIRE ALERT. WE WILL ENDEAVOUR TO RECOVER WORLDVISION 36 FOR YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.]

14 ELECTRUM DIPLOMATIC OFFICES

[WE HAVE HAD TO INTERRUPT TRANSMISSION DUE TO A FIRE ALERT. WE WILL ENDEAVOUR TO RECOVER WORLDVISION 36 FOR YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.]

15 GLORIAX

Craig: We'reeeeeeee back!
Robert: Sorry about that, everyone.
Craig: The number for the shocker from Gregoryisgodistan is 9 12 12 12 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 12 from a landline. The slaves in it were too flat-footed and too panicked.
Robert: I didn't like Electrum's entry from what I could hear in the car park, I felt it took too long to get going. The number for that is 9 12 12 13 or 01721 12 12 13. As for "Sore Knee" from song #14, that was hardly any better.
Craig: Add 14 for the Electrum Diplomatic Offices. Now, we saw the last half of Gloriax. I loved it.
Robert: Gloriax was very good, I have to say. Add 15 if you want to vote for them. And now, Titianiumland!

16 TITANIUMLAND

Robert: Oh yes. I loved it.
Craig: Her dancing was a bit flat-footed, though. It needs to be one, two, three, cha-cha, one, two, three, cha-cha... I don't know what she was doing. Add 16.

17 PUPPETVILLE

Robert: Mad. Add 17.

18 BRITONISEA

Robert: I didn't like it, I'm afraid.
Craig: Add 18 to vote for them.

19 NORMANDY AND PICARDY

Craig: Can you even have subtle swords by definition? But I LOVED what they did with the staging.
Robert: The song wasn't bad, either. Dial 9 12 12 19 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 19 from a landline to vote for them.

20 SUMALTHERIA

Robert: And we're back with more after the break.
MISTER X
WV29: 19th, debut
WV30: 10th, first top 10
WV31: 8th, new PB
WV33: 3rd, new PB
WV34: 6th, first hosting
WVYF: 11th, last place
WV52: 2nd, new PB
WV59: 7th, second hosting
WV62: 1st, first victory

36. Swordean Hostorical Society
Macky & Marcus Melton- Guns in the River

The Swordean fans are cheering for the organisation which is its own state, in the north west region of Th Sword Bloke. Fans are holding up signs such as '36th in Number 36!' and 'Ole!'. Song begins.

Macky:
You are so slow
You think we blow
Shooting down
For we have the crown
Get off our lawn
Or go back to where you were born


Marcus Melton:
Guns in the river
River River
Oh yea!
Water gushing down!
Water gushing down!
In the river


Macky:
Everyday I just wonder
Goddammit never
Positive wonders
I need to shoot my guns in the river
Or else I'll turn to a liver


Marcus Melton:
Guns in the river
River River
Oh yea!
Water gushing down!
Water gushing down!
In the river


Both:
Just shoot the little fish
They'll go down like a labor party
Just put the guns up
And fire!


Marcus Melton:
Guns in the river
River River
Oh yea!
Water gushing down!
Water gushing down!
In the river
River
River!!!

Swordeans cheer at the end, but that's all that happened afterwards, with many other fans baffled by the song, which was sung in poor English due to both singers knowing very few english words.

Welcome back to Mullhipu, Todlichebujoku for the Worldvision Song Contest. Michel has gone to speak to our entry in the green room so I am joined by the Minister of Culture, Jean Eson-Etienne who has organised our entry for the last couple of competitions since we started. He is responsible for picking our acts and this is why The Subtle Swords were here tonight. We have plenty of acts before the next obligatory pictures-which-make-our-country-look-great-and-totally-not-propoganda break, so we may find some jewels, some absolutely atrocious songs and maybe our winner, if they haven't been found already. Let's continue.


21 - Gacidia
John - I did not like this. I don't know why but it didn't do it for me. I think it's just the song and the singer.
Jean - Also the lyrics were a bit cliché, which is not what you want. You need something unique that will stand out.
John - Although that hasn't always been the case, looking at the past before we entered

22 - Kishrael
John - I haven't liked either of their past two entries but this one was half-decent
Jean - Half-decent! This is their best, in my opinion, yet. It may be because of the expressive use of expletives or just the general song, I don't know, but I liked it

23 - Chameliya
John - Can we move onto the next song swiftly?
Jean - Let's! I don't even know what just happened.

24 - Mister X
John - A masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece. The staging was perfect, the singing was perfect, the overall song was perfect. One of the best of the night so far!
Jean - I'm not too sure. Yes, it was a good song but it is not better than others which have performed.

25 - The Grand British Kingdom
John - That's not going to do well. I don't know who came up with the concept but they really must have been desperate
Jean - That wouldn't have even made it through the doors of the Ministry of Culture. They really need to try harder if they stand any chance

26 - Missus X
Jean - The tune was good and the words made me laugh. What a novelty song; highly comedic and a real laugh, although that murder and the burning of the flag was not needed.
John - Novelty! That was clear cut attack on left wing policies. Right, we now what political undertones Brittanny, our new puppet, will have for their song in 37.

27 - Todlichebujoku
John - The hosts deliver a rubbish song, just like their opening act. Both were rubbish and I have nothing more to say but that.
Jean - Well... the opening was terrible and this was slightly better, but not by much it has to be said. This will be popular but won't get votes from us

28 - Yttribia
John - I think we have found one of the best songs today. What a brilliant song, lyrics, music and all!
Jean - I totally agree with you. I always have had a liking for the Ytrribian entries. If this does not get big points from you back in Normandy and Picardy then I don't know what has happened

29 - Bloodbath Generation

30 - Ekoz
John - A decent song from Ekoz. I loved the lyrics and the music which went together well to create an actually decent effort. I haven't liked their last two entries but I liked this one
Jean - I agree with you there John. This will almost certainly get points from us, maybe even one of the top ones

31 - Polkopia
John - They won last time but I'm sorry to say they won't win this time, at least that's my opinion. I have a history of liking Polkopian entries, but this one just didn't do it for me
Jean - They have had better and they will have better, but it certainly isn't the worst tonight

32 - The Sword Bloke
John - Interesting lyrics... no music though
Jean - Odd, to say the least

33 - Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic
Jean - A serious message portrayed in a rubbish way
John - Yep, this is one of those not so great entries I was talking about

34 - Estenia
John - The music was actually good, but the lyrics at times didn't fit and bits sounded off
Jean - Once again, I agree. It's a shame, this could have been a good entry

35 - Ekozian Milea
Jean - Once again, an interesting entry.
John - If by interesting you mean rubbish, then yes
Jean - An odd choice, the national anthem of your master nation
John - Well, they are having "sovereignty" problems Free Ekozian Milea

36 - The Swordean Historical Society
John - Another bizzare song with no music. The second without music, and certainly not the first odd entry
Jean - Well, some of these acts have been good. The numbers to call are being shown on the screen now and are on the website, mondevis.co.np
John - Time for the obligatory break... and Welcome back to Worldvision

37 - Russadonia
John- Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. I have no other word for it. The voice was horrible, the music was horrible, it was all horrible
Jean- Others may like it but we certainly didn't

38 - Venasta
Jean - Another great entry from Venasta. This song should do well as long as it is not lost in the crowd.
John - That is my only worry. It is a good entry, I agree,and it will get points from us but the question is will anyone else remember this one. I'm "sad" to say that Jean must leave us now, but Michel is back from his talk with the Subtle Swords
Michel: Hello!

39 - Wazekia
John - Did you enjoy your time with the Subtle Swords?
Michel - Yes, but I didn't enjoy this.
John - I don't know, it's okay but will probably get lost in the crowd. We've had some good songs but this isn't one of them.

40 - Praciba
John - So that happened, apparently
Michel - It certainly got a good response from some who totally weren't the Praciban Delegation at all In fact, why would I even mention that?
John - Nations wonder why they do terribly. The answer is because they send terrible songs, like this one.

41 - United Vaalia
John - Another debut song, and a good one at that.
Michel - I don't imagine this getting points from us, but Puppetville might give them a few
John - I agree with you ther, oddly

42 - Kalosia
Michel - I wasn't a fan of this one. No doubt it will do well but I wasn't a fan
John - Same here. I didn't like the voice or the music but the staging was nice. You can tell it was in a musical

Electrumite Commentary - Part 2 - Network ENN

Max Hardwell: Welcome back folks to the second part of our WorldVision coverage.
Sonya Portelli: We're going to wrap up the songs, and then we'll vote!
Max Hardwell: We've reached the pointy end, will there be more good songs?
Sonya Portelli: Or will they crash out - find out now.

31. Polkopia - Together
Sonya: What can you expect from Polkopia?
Max: It's not the best they've offered, certainly
Sonya: Mmm. I feel ya.
Max: It just didn't have the same oomph as before, I'm afraid

32. The Sword Bloke - Public Executions Do It All
Max: Another little Lord Almighty Gregory it seems
Sonya: Jeez, these guys just pop up everywhere eh?
Max: It seems like wherever we are, we see The Sword Bloke!
Sonya: No, not a good song. This is terribad.

33. Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic
Sonya: The English lyrics don't make sense!
Max: I just don't get the needless translations between languages. Either stick with one or two.
Sonya: Sorry Alinghi, not your night. Not that I know what a Charlie Hebdo is.

34. Estenia - Leak of Trances
Max: ?
Sonya: It's a good song, but it just doesn't make any sense at all
Max: We've got a leaky trance here!
Sonya: The lyrics don't quite align properly with the song, I'm afraid.

35. Ekozian Milea - Ekoese Gott-Zegendt (God Bless Ekoz)
Sonya: Ridiculous!
Max: Why would you put up an anthem - never mind
Sonya: To teach the local folks about who's boss!
Max: Luckily, the Ekozian song didn't resort to that... I wouldn't know what to think

36. Swordean Historical Society - Guns in the River
Max: I needn't have to say more about this
Sonya: Hear, hear.

37. Russadonia - Dark Red Marks
Sonya: Great lyrics, excellent imagery
Max: I just couldn't get past the voicing, if she was just a bit more clearer and a little bit less mumbly, this would have been perfection

38. Venasta - Bright as the Sun
Max: Finally, a bright an upbeat song!
Sonya: Where were you this whole time Venasta!
Max: I am so happy that this has arrived. It has been a long time but the wait was worth it.
Sonya: Favourites, surely

39. Wazekia - Free
Max: Hm.
Sonya: Interesting, isn't it?
Max: A bit repetitive, but the lyrics...
Sonya: Definite mixed bag. Some parts, good lyrics, some parts... well let's just say terribad.
Max: Disappointing, and it was a good song. Improve it slightly, and it would have been superb.

40. Praciba - Praciba
Sonya: And heres Praciba, presented by... Praciba.
Max: They always have the kooky songs, don't they?
Sonya: Their last song was almost too overt
Max: This one gets close, but steers clear. Good sign, but will it garner some points from us?

41. United Vaalia - Human
Max: Sounds like the yogurt company, doesn't it?
Sonya: Mmm, I would kill for one now. Producers, could you fetch us some?
(off screen) you can't eat now, everyone will hear your nasty chewing...
Sonya: AHEM. Anyways, I would have loved more movement or expression or lighting, or something! She's just standing there...
Max: Standard song, but pushes the right buttons for me.

42. Kalosia - Ja Diros Si Sa Sanot (I Would've Said Yes If I Knew)
Sonya: Lucky last, Kalosia.
Max: Old-style song, emotional.
Sonya: I miss these kind of songs. Now it's all about electronic, or the auto-tune.
Max: Mmm. Voice is king. Definitely.
Sonya: Superb performance by both Daniel and Anita. Onto the voting, but first, the interval.

Interval - Sin Again, Alive, Not Complete
Max: A medley eh?
Sonya: Excellent start. Very good performance.
Max: Then she's alive. There's been a lot of confirmation hasn't there in these past songs, right?
Sonya: Yes, you're alive. Yes, we won't ignore you. Yes, you exist. Getting a bit to existential, that's the theme of the day. Alright, I guess.
Max: And for the final act, you can clearly see why he's a former WorldVision winner.
Sonya: Really?
Max: Do the research Sonya, you lazy lady!
Sonya: ... Extremely slow in the beginning, faster, but slow in the middle, but good lyric writing.
Max: No doubt you can see why he's such a professional. Really good voice control.
Sonya: With that, we enter the voting phase. We'll take a quick break, and we'll return with the start of results for this edition of WorldVision! We've nearly reached the end!

Rothman: We're at 150/1. Talk about having confidence.
bint Suleiman: Well, sending nostalgic songs is a bit risky.
Rothman: Yes, I know, but seriously! Gregoryisgodistan has a way better chance at winning then us apparently!
bint Suleiman: They do have a catchy tune.
Rothman: At least the opening music's nice...


1. Grellenbyōsha-ga
bint Suleiman: That was defiantly something.
Rothman: It was, unique.
bint Suleiman: I actually kind of liked it.
Rothman: I really didn't. I can't tell if it's trying to be dubstep or a ballad.

2. Nobreloen
bint Suleiman: Another "weird" entry. I also like this one.
Rothman: Yeah, it was pretty good.

3. Teague
bint Suleiman: Yet another good song. This is gonna be a good year.
Rothman: This is my first favorite of the night.
bint Suleiman: This will probably get points from us, if people voting have good tastes.

4. Lymantatia


5. Izmedu
Rothman: Apparently this is one of the favorites.
bint Suleiman: I really like this one. It's different from their last entry, but it's nice.
Rothman: I could see this winning.

6. Arlnonsen
bint Suleiman: And yet another one! She's a very good singer.
Rothman: I have no idea how we're gonna vote for this. There's a lot of good entries here.
bint Suleiman: If I had to make one criticism, it does get a bit repetitive at the end.
Rothman: Still pretty good though.

7. Talvezout
bint Suleiman: I saw people dancing. So some people like it at least.
Rothman: Well, people do like nostalgic entries.
bint Suleiman: Well, let's hope for the best...

8. Regica
Rothman: I like it when nations send entries that are a different then the rest.
bint Suleiman: This one has a bit of a retro feel, doesn't it? I also like it as well.

9. Elajamie
Rothman: Another rock song. I wonder what would have happened if we decided to send "Time" instead.
bint Suleiman: I like this one more. It's a bit more "polished" I guess.
Rothman: Eh, I prefer a more raw sound. Next.

10. The Holy Republican Empire
bint Suleiman: I am a religious woman, Rothman, and I don't like this one bit.
Rothman: Aren't we sending a religiously fueled entry next year?
bint Suleiman: Yes, but it's subtle religious. This is "in your face" religious.
Rothman: I think it's weird that they've decided to send what's essentially a hymn to a pop rhythm. Oh well.

11. Iesusisgodistan
bint Suleiman: It's getting really weird now.
Rothman: Gregoryisgodistan is up next. Let's get out of here.
(They leave)

12. Gregoryisgodistan
(Camera pans to Rothman sitting on the ground with laptop; he's looking towards the camera)
Rothman: From, uh, what I can tell in the parking lot we're getting people blown up again.
bint Suleiman:(Off-camera) It's got a pretty nice tune.
Rothman: Yeah, I agree to that. Still can't believe that they've got a better chance then us at winning though.

13. Electrum
Rothman: From what I could tell from the online streaming, this song's pretty good.
bint Suleiman: I really liked that one.
Rothman: Yep. It was simple, but really good.

14. Electrum Diplomatic Offices
bint Suleiman: I think it's a conspiracy.
Rothman: What?
bint Suleiman: They have the EDO send a really weird entry so that their entry before it looks even better.
Rothman: I think you're crazy. Anyway, I actually kinda liked this one.

15. Gloriax
bint Suleiman: Another rock song.
Rothman: In really enjoying this one.
bint Suleiman: I'm a bit more eh to it. Anyway, now to our commercial break.

Back after a long break, the Russadonian delegation knew they needed an act that couldn't disappoint. Violet Mercy was born with writing in her heart and music in her soul. A flickering eternal flame of beautiful madness enveloped her aura, infecting her talent and controlling her complex voice.

The stage is dark, she stands alone on the platform which spirals toward the audience. A long black dress unfurls to the floor, diamond earrings send colorful rays of light glittering across the dark venue. A single beam of white light shines vertically upon her, holding a chrome microphone. The music starts softly, her voice echoing a smoky warmth through the audience.

My demons crawl down from heaven, another come to mourn.
And the scars which snake my pale skin, leave stories untold
My body’s the goddess of beauty, sacred bones,
I feel the stars distraught, the universe was born in me.
Rivers flow through me, away from the night
And my pedestal of stone, lifts me to the gallows in the sky.


She moves her body slowly to the beat. Behind her, dark purple lights move upward until they are shining on the audience.

And now the gods talk to me, demand tributes in chrome
The gods talk to me, tell me to burn through the scrolls


As the music picks up, the purple lights begin to pulse in sync with the thunderous beats. Heavy bass reverberates through the venue.

I'm finishing it. (ooooh)


She moves her head back and forth as she lifts her arm and moves slowly, sensually, with the rhythm. Her body enveloped completely by the music as she dances.

Cities will crumble until their ends
Ruins spread closer to my heart, choking it
You’ve cursed me and I’m taking your wicked soul to the void and leaving dark red marks
All over your arms, the veins spread like plague
you’ve been given bad fortune by the seer
and I’m taking your wicked soul to the void and leaving dark red marks


The purple lights keep pulsing with the beat until 'dark red marks,' when they sweep across the audience in the deep red color of blood for those three words. They return to purple and as the verse finishes, black ink begins to slowly drip from the sleeves of her dress and down her arms, and over her fingers, leaving a black trail like tears or blood.

I have no fear, I find comfort in these confines
The serpent slivers down my veins with its trail of crime


She brings her hand to her cheek and brushes down, leaving a hand print of ink across her pale face.

And the gods will talk to me, and destruction is their vow
the gods talk to me, and leave a massacre
But I won’t read their scrolls, their liquor laced bodies have all risen
I’m fighting with their own weapons, those who have wronged me
I’ve finished it. (ooh)


The purple lights turn red again, but stay this way. They pulse in red, beating like a delicate heart.

Cities will crumble until their ends
Ruins spread closer to my heart, choking it
You’ve cursed me and I’m taking your wicked soul to the void and leaving dark red marks
All over your arms, the veins spread like plague
you’ve been given bad fortune by the seer
and I’m taking your wicked soul to the void and leaving dark red marks


After the last beat the red lights turn completely off, leaving violet alone in her clean white light. She looks somberly toward the audience and the light flickers out, leaving only darkness and heavy applause.

Throughout the night, users of Twitter in Ekoz have been extremely active in their tweets that are about, or relate to the WorldVision Song Contest, held in Mullhipu, Todlichebujoku. All of the trending topics were WorldVision related.

The highest non-Ekoz related topic was #Todlichebujoku, the hosts of this edition's contest, being the 3rd most trending topic in Ekoz.

Ekozian representative and former STE commentator Alfaans was the second most tweeted about WorldVision topic. His now-famous dance routine has been titled #DeAlfaansKlappe

Twitter users from all of Ekoz has a slight issue in the pronunciation of Grellenbyōsha-ga, the first act of the show with #Grellen-vaat? (English:Grellen-what?). It was the 6th highest trending topic.

Suprisingly, Puppetvilles entry (which was censored on STE for family viewing) was the 7th highest trending topic of the night with #ilikedeathilikegore.

Mister X's Jack Baxter and Sam Smiths performance was the 8th most talked about WorldVision-related topic with a play on the nations name and the word sexy, which combined made #Mister X'y

The 9th highest topic within Ekoz was #staywithusekozianmilea. Ekozian broadcaster STE's evening bulletin featured live protests and riots within the city centre of Ekozian Milea due to the Ekozian Government's intervention at WorldVision.

Polkopia's #together was the 11th most trending topic, of which only five songs from the contest acheived (including Ekoz and Ekozian Milea).
