WorldVision Song Contest 42 | OOC | [SIGNUPS CLOSED]

[Electrum]

Quick duck in here -- a pretty busy part of my life right now with continuous assessments.

Whilst we're on the topic for songs in the next few editions -- Electrum's plan is unchanged:

42 - Celtic

You may have guessed it, but it's going to be Sanomi, which came 2nd in 2003 but written in an Electrum indigenous creole language (with elements from Indigenous languages, English and Tok Pisin). As always, EDO is in too.

[Electrum Diplomatic Offices]

As always, EDO is in too.

Confirmed. Still don't know what to do yet, but it will probably be "Generic Love Song" by Gertrude Pullman or a Bollywood/Psychedelic Pop mix-up not by Gertrude Pullman

[Ekoz]

The STE confirms it's participation in the 42nd WorldVision Song Contest. After a top three finish in the previous edition, the STE have announced that the national selection process 'Ekoes Soekke vor Winaar' will be on hiatus for an undisclosed period of time and is in review with STE executives.

The STE have stated that there are a selection of different artists in talks with STE execs thus the entry representing Ekoz has not been officially chosen. The STE announced that ''the general public can expect an announcement within the coming days''

[Aigeantir]

Okay, I've been wanting to participate for awhile. Is there anything I need to do besides giving an artist and song? (No forms or applications?)

Well, eventually you have to write the song, and ideally a performance too, but for now, just give the artist and song. Once the Everything Thread is up you post that.

[Nobreloen]

Nobreloen makes a one-off return to Worldvision to commemorate EnE's 10th anniversary in WV.

Double confirmed. Apologies as the previous message was posted by EnE by mistake.

[Santaclausisgodistan]

"The 365 Days of Christmas" is probably going to be too long to fit in one post, so is it OK if I just post the last ten verses or so? It's recursive, much like the classic version with only 12 Days, so you can figure out the earlier verses.

[Federation of Hozan]

Federation of Hozan is signing up!

We've selected rather happy tune for our debut through internal selection.

Title: It Hurts Right Here
Language: English and constructed languages
Artist: Arian Forg Hope
Tune: Cita Citata - Sakitnya Tuh Di Sini

omg
also you might be interested in this
Also if the conlang is supposed to be your nation's official/local/regional language or whatever you don't need to call it a conlang; my own Kalosian is a constructed language but it is treated as a natural language ICly.

The conlang itself is unknown to my people, it's simply creativity of the song's writer.
My nation currently does not have official language, but most of us speaks English, Indonesian and Hogane..

And wow ayu tingting had been here!!

Well so far the song is written, so done that. As for lyrics, I can guarantee that the majority of them are new (It should adhere to the more than 80% new lyric quota)... is that good enough for everyone?

The song will be performed mostly in English, though part of the song is in Gaelic, with translations provided.

Popular singer Ivana Cortana wil be singing her ode to the popular Earth novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The lyrics are found right here.
The original song is found here: That's the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

That should satisfy the 80% rule. It should be noted that this was an English project I did about said book. I will come up with an IC reason why my nations knows about the book when the everything thread comes up. Expext something convoluted.

With Tödlichebujoku's third 5th placing in its time in the contest, and an improvement on the 15th place in WV40, the third edition of Sinun Valintasi promises to salvage its reputation from the WV40 disappointment. Several big names populate the WV42 edition of the final, and hopes are running high.

VArkki - Memories
Fall Out Boy - Centuries

Your monuments fall, torn to dust by a call
And yet you try to flee, try to flee with memories
Just the clothes on your back, stained with mud from the track
And thus you try to flee, try to flee with memories

Jason Derulo - The Other Side

So now, hold me close so I can fly
And we can rise beyond the light
Our love, swirls above the sky
So we can rise beyond the light

G.E.M. - A.I.N.Y. 愛你

Momoko Krebs- Screaming No
Ани Лорак - Медленно

What have I unleashed now?

SuuriKuusi - Sun Returns
OneRepublic - Love Runs Out

Excerpt:

Lady Antebellum - Long Stretch of Love

Excerpt:
Five years or ten years of waiting before we are through
Still you can't tell the truth
You've been rushing through the dark
Betraying all your friends
I'm not the only one who's done with you if you won't stop this trend

Send your top five choices to Sinun Valintasi (the nation linked)! Make sure you note which one is your top pick and list them in order. Thanks!

It honestly is really easy to discover Indonesians on this site they all show it one way or another
Remember, your lyrics must be different from the original and translations of the original lyrics aren't allowed either (if it's just the same title or the same few lyrics it's okay and would follow the same rules for originality)

Also love the influx of new nations so far welcome everyone

The STE announced today that singer Mia Sahlgaard, 20 will represent Ekoz at the 42nd WorldVision Song Contest. At sixteen Mia was the runner up in the 2011 edition of 'Superstarsoekke', Ekoz's answer to the X-Factor/Idol franchises.

Mia has since gone on to study at the Royal Institute of Music in Carnise, the capital city, where she graduated with First Class Honour. She intends to release her debut album before the end of the year. Her debut single, We're Young will represent the country later this month. This follows a change in direction from the STE, who aimed to provide a more fresh and more modern sound. Mia will promote her single both within Ekoz and internationally.

You can find all the latest information regarding Mia, including all the latest information and interviews at ste.ez/worldvision

Not to mention that we can't exactly verify that those lyrics are actually yours, as they've been posted on a different forum, by a different name.

Augen ot Praciba! - Eyes on Praciba!
Sneak Preview - Contestants

#2 - Carloso þor Niño

Carloso þor Niño or Carlos the Kid as he is often called isn't an unfamiliar face amongst those interested in the Pracib bear scene as he is the owner, manager, operator and most famous otter of the Hair Club for Men, the famous Mentris-based gay nightclub. Having first made his fortune in the early nineties with the, rather explicit, nightly soap Bears in the Woods where he played the, immensely popular, exhibitionist cub Carlos, a name which stuck and eventually morphed into his stage name Carloso þor Niño/Carlos the Kid, he was smart enough to invest in the Hair Club for Men, a move that further rose him to the top of one of Praciba's most visible niche communities. While his last single, O-Original, dates from 2013 and a new one is to be released in early 2016, leaving him relatively out of the minds of the Pracib public, Pracib Royal TV believes that Carloso þor Niño will be able to take charge and come out on top, raking in the second Pracib victory.

For any media-related inquiries such as interviews, bookings or other communications such as well-wishes, fan mail and so forth, feel free to contact Pracib Royal TV. International hopefuls hoping to become a Foreign Wildcard in Augen ot Praciba may also send their letters to Pracib Royal TV.

That's up to the Committee, not me. I'd say to just write a new song, like everyone else does and the easiest thing for everyone involved (you, the ones that need to check the proof) but that's just me. We've had possible grey areas before (that luckily didn't end up turning into actual grey areas) and honestly, there's a reason why a grey area is called a grey area. It's not because they're easy to solve

IMO if he goes into his Supercell forum account (no idea how one gets to TKAM song lyrics in a mobile gaming forum tbh) and posts his NS name and WorldVision intentions there, I would be satisfied.
