Start position: 1
Nation: Phoenigetuzstha
Artist: Ariana Mago
Song: Don't Need You
Genre: Pop
Language: English
Lyrics & description of performance: ...

Melody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLcISEMJXHA
Singing Starts at: 0:14
Song Finishes at: 2:47

Don't Need You

It starts with a pitch black stage. The music starts to play in the background. Ariana lifts her head up and goldenrod lights start to flash. She is wearing a layered sand-coloured dress which goes to her knees and to her ankles at the back. A background screen also appears with a sandstorm-like pattern recurring upon it. There are four obelisk -like monuments each of which depicts a male figue. She then starts to sing.

Cannot remember how many times I wanted to tell you
But you shut me out like I didn’t matter
You left me crying all alone
And you didn’t even care


But now I found the strength
In myself
To let you go
And not feel pain
And I know, that I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine without you



4 dancers in Carthaginian attire walk up, robes swirling from the use of a wind machine. They cover her up and start to carry her to each monument. She starts shaking her head at each one. They let her down before the chorus starts.

I don’t need you here
around me
I am everything
I wanna’ be
Open your eyes
and you will see
That I, I, I, I Don’t need you


Don’t think I didn’t give every part of me
What you did boy means where history
You go your way and I will go mine
Coz’ I know without you, I can shine

Let go of the things
That you said to me
Goodbye to the pain
And the memories
And I know, I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine without you



After the chorus the dancers go off.

I don’t need you here
around me
I am everything
I wanna’ be
Open your eyes
and you will see
That I, I, I, I Don’t need you


She walks to the center while she is singing the chorus. The lights go dim as the final verse is sung. The sandstorm background is gradually fading away and becoming a rose flower one. This change is completed by the end of the final verse. The final verse is sung in a quiter tone (The red means a higher tone is used).

Let go of the things
That you said to me
Goodbye to the pain
And the memories
I found the strength
Inside myself
To let you go
No I won’t feel pain without you x2
Without You!


The dancers re-appear for the chorus, now wearing pink, layered robes. Ariana is standing in the middle with the wind machine at full blast. The tone is once again louder. The dancers are doing ornate lifts behing her, the robes emphasizing the eloquence of their dance.

I don’t need you here a-around me
I am everything I wanna’ be
Open your eyes and you will see
That I, I, I, I Don’t need you

I Don’t need you x4
I tell you boy I don’t need you


Ariana freezes for just a moment at the end of the song. Everybody cheers and she says the following: "Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Artist: Carmen Dianess
Song: Danger-us
Genre: Pop/Rap
Language: English
Lyrics & description of performance:


Carmen emerges from the backstage, walking slowly with a microphone in hand. She starts to sing slowly.
Ahhh......Ahh
Ahhh......Ah
Ahhh......Ah
Ahhh......Ahhh


Beat starts going.
Ba-bada-bada-bada-ba-da-ba
Ba-bada-bada-bada-ba-da-ba
Our love isn't chemical
It feels emotional
Mix us two together and you'll get what you earn
A hidden passageway at every turn
This night feels like something new
Mixed with the scent of honeydew
Yeppp it must've been that fern
Once it was a point of no return
It started once it grew
For example me and you
Were best friends until you blew
That whistle
That whistle



Everything in the past has been ab-stract
Now it's the future and we're com-pact
Put us in the can, shake and stir
Pour it out and I can concur
That you and I mixed together are danger-ous
We shared but just one ki-ss
Yet it's made the situation out-ra-geous
Why did I have to be so breathhhh-less


Yeah we're dangerous
Mixed together and we're full of it
The chemicals react
The bubbles start to foam
More steam come sin tow-oh-oh
What a disaster this has turned out
Yeah we're dangerous


When I saw the day you were gone
All I had to do was say you're a con
Then you never wanted to come back
But you couldn't resist yourself, no
You couldn't be without me, so
That started your heart a-ttack


Ahh..ah
We're dangerous.
Combined we're danger-us
An explosion might happen
An eruption might occur
Whatever goes on
Might hurt..



The music stops, Carmen puts the microphone back on the stand. She takes several bows, then proceeds to say: "Thank you! I enjoyed my performance a lot. Shout out to all my Thatians! Woo!" After that glorious speech, she walks out to backstage.

"Man, I still feel that adrenaline rush!"

1.
Słowa rzucane na wiatr
Nie dotrą prędzej.
(Gesty, gesty)

Miłość jest jedna lecz ja
Chcę mieć jej więcej.
(Gesty, gesty)

Żądza pieniądza i żar,
Co w sercu się słania.
(Gesty, gesty)

Zmora mych cierpień i czar
Twojego kochania.
(Gesty, gesty)


Refren:

Mam tyle do powiedzenia
Ty masz więcej do zrobienia
Mimika twarzy i rąk
Gesty wyręczą cię w mowie
(Gesty, gesty)

Chce mieć znów marzenia
Mieć do zarzucenia
Tobie żale i ciąg
Gestów co mam je w swej głowie.
(Gesty, gesty)



2.
Ofiara bóli i cnót,
Choć chce ci nie powie.
(Gesty, gesty)

Kara jest wieczna lecz Bóg
Ma tyle na głowie.
(Gesty, gesty)

Złoża sztab złota i gór
Co skrywają srebro
(Gesty, gesty)

To wszystko to gestów jest twór
To ziemskie jest niebo.
(Gesty, gesty)


Refren (2x):

Mam tyle do powiedzenia
Ty masz więcej do zrobienia
Mimika twarzy i rąk
Gesty wyręczą cię w mowie

Chce mieć znów marzenia
Mieć do zarzucenia
Tobie żale i ciąg
Gestów co mam je w swej głowie.

Start position: 5
Nation: Beldonia
Artist: David Mayden
Song: Show
Genre: Pop
Language: English
Lyrics & description of performance:
David is shown on the stage strumming an electric guitar softly, in contrast to a heavy metal riff. It is a soft beat that goes along with the pop beat of the song. Behind him, a bassist and drummer are hidden by the dark
I close my eyes.
I close my eyes, cuz I did not know
I held your hand.
I held your hand, but then I let go.

David's playing speeds up and gets a bit more intricate. The drummer plays softly on the hi hats and cymbals, as well as the bass drum.
Some time went by.
Time went right by, and when I caught up
I turned to see
I turned to see that you weren't waiting.

David plays the theme of the song on his guitar, as he is about to reach the chorus. He plays more notes than in the verses, but the theme remains constant.
Cuz it's time
Show
the feelings that I now know
are coming out.
Cuz it's time
Show
the reason that you waited
just let it go.

The song quiets down as David fills some time.
Do do do do
do do do do do do do do
do do do do
do do do dooooo

His playing suddenly becomes more aggressive, but then settles back. The second verse has begun.
I came to you
I came to you with thoughts of grandeur.
Those weren't her eyes.
Not the same eyes as when I met her.

David quickly launches back into the chorus in the same fashion as before.
Cuz it's time
Show
the feelings that I now know
are coming out.
Cuz it's time
Show
the reason that you waited
just let it show.

The key changes. David is now singing a part of the song that is different from the others. A spotlight appears on David as he strums the chords quickly and suddenly.
Time takes its toll.
I strayed a little far, I know.
Where I wanna be
is wherever you are, you see.

The guitar playing quiets down, but it is built back up as David prepares for the final chorus. First, he sings one more part.
Well I close my eyes.
And I realize.
Well I close my eyes.
Ohhhhh.
And I re---alize.

The time for the final chorus has come. Light erupts on the stage, revealing the two other musicians, who are playing brilliantly. David is getting into the song, but keeps his composure as he sings.
And it's time
Show
the feelings that I now know
are coming out.
Cuz it's time
Show
the reason that you waited
just let it show.
Show!

The crowd applaudes. David nods in thanks and gives a thumbs up to his fellow musicians.

Song: We're not alone
Genre: Ballad
Language: English
Lyrics & description of performance: Michael stands alone on the stage. As music starts,dancers slowly start to arrive to the stage.

How many time did you kissed a stranger,
And was like a bird next to a man,
which doesn't fly to your heights,
and doesn't know a secret,
hidden in you,

You're in a body,full of wishes,
With lips wanting just one kiss,
But there is no one,
Who is yours,
And this land,
Is not called home,

There is a diamond,
in your eye,
or is that a tear,
waiting for me?
But I'm just a vision,
That tells you this:
Be happy!


Refrain
I don't know why,
I don't know when,
But we will walk on same side,
same side of the street,
Believe me my darling,
That we will meet,
In world of secrets,
We're not alone

You remind me of pain,
And winds carry me,
You're looking at me,
The storm will break me,
But It's all the same,
When I belong to you

All roads drive us,
On same way,
Without you,
There's no freedom for me,
But you thought,
I won't love you,

And if you leave,
You will stop loving me,
But there's no purpose for that,
Cause I still love you


Refrain
I don't know why,
I don't know when,
But we will walk on same side,
same side of the street,
Believe me my darling,
That we will meet,
In world of secrets,
We're not alone


As song ends,Michael shouts: Thank you Saintrabina! I love you!

Artist: Linette Stern
Song: Hold Me
Genre: Pop-rock
Language: English
Base music
Lyrics & description of performance:

The stage went dark. Blackness englulfed everyone, with camera flashes and lights occassionally going off. A sound from the bass drum in the back mimicked a heartbeat... bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump... as a straining sound ran from the bass guitar. It became high pitched, sort of like a wave washing up upon a beach. And in the background, a staggered gasps on every eight beat.

Then the bass started. A sort of, bum-bum-bum, bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum-bum. Green lasers illuminated the crowd... but not yet the stage. And you could hear a voice... oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, go!

The bass grew louder, as well as a sort of strange sound on every beat. Like when you sucked in air through closed lips, but deeper and sweeter. Hu-uhhhhh-uhhh..., went the voice followed by a second of guitar. Every few beats, a single strum and quick buzz of energy. Oh yeah. Then the snare drums were being tapped quickly, lightly. A pause, and that same ... oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, go!

The stage illuminated, with the same sounds in sync and far louder. You could see the singer, looking focused on her song and on giving a great show. And then, in a light and enchanting voice.

"You're giving me... too many things
Lately... you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,"


The music grew, louder, more pop, the singer adding more base to her tone.

"Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What i meant when I said 'No.'"
I don't think life is quite that simple"


The music came to a head, louder and quicker paced than before and with Linette bursting right into the next section. She started the first to lines with that deep voice, and switched into her light enchanting voice soon after.

"When you walk away
You don't hear me say, pleeeease
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"


And then, she repeated the lines.

"When you walk away
You don't hear me say, pleeeease
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"


Oh-oh-oh... yeah.

"The daily things (like this and that and what is what) that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,"


Back to that strong, deep voice...

"Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple"


And yet again, that voice switchin. She was moving around the stage, putting full energy into the song. Her denim jacket flew around, as she sang with so much energy.

"When you walk away
You don't hear me say, pleeeease
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"


"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on"


Deep voice,

"Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"


"Nothing's like before
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"


And the final, energetic lines, music building to crescendo, as she sang with all her skill and energy,"

"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"


The stage went back to blank, and she left with a short "Thanks everybody!" before walking backstage.

A 25-year old man with black hair walks up to the mic, a red guitar strapped around his neck.

Suddenly, the bassist yells,

"1,2,3,4!"


The musicians start to play a hard backing track, the bassist playing louder than the others. The drummer transitions on the toms and the rhythm guitarist starts to sing.

In the days of my youth
I used to laugh alone
Now when, my lips smile
A whole nation starts to join
But sometimes, it seems so hard
Cause it's a, it's a...


The bassist and drummers lean in to their microphones

It's a long, way, down.
It's a long, way, down.
Cause it seems so hard.
But I gotta go down, so far down.


The musicians switch back to the verse backing track.

Everyone used to laugh
Now they bow at my feet

It's all just a dream

What is life, it's a, it's a


The musicians once again move up to the microphones to provide backing vocals.

It's a long, way, down.
It's a long, way, down.
Cause it seems so hard.
But I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. Hey!


The vocalist spins around. The other musicians move into the back ground, and the spotlight focuses on the vocalist, singing softly into the microphone.

And now its' raining
Or is it just tears from my eyes
Thinking about you
And we almost had it all...


The vocalist trails off with the guitar, leaving a void of noise. The band stood their for a moment, before walking off quietly, without a sound.

Start position: 11
Nation: Prince Bartholomew Islands
Artist: Broken Cassettes
Song: Liberation
Genre: Alternative Rock
Language: English, German, Megadian (All the lyrics have been translated into English for convenience)
Lyrics & description of performance:

It all begins with a pitch black stage, the lead singer, Marshall Webb strolls into the middle and the stage gradually gets lighter revealing the rest of the band in the background.

You can love someone, more than anything else
You can get angry about the fact, that this didn't happen to anyone else.
You can shout and scream and go! WHAT THE HELL!
But you will seek and I will find, cos this is a liberation...of your mind.


He puts a load of passion into the song, displaying a creative array of facial expressions and hand gestures, Marshall's neck long hair swaying back and forth. At the end of the first verse, he rushes to the front of the stage before continuing.

You think it doesn't hurt!
You think I'm free!
From this painful, endless fantasy!
And everyone knows all I need...is a liberation of my mind.


Both the electric guitarist and the bass guitarist, enthusiastically get up to the front of the stage with Marshall, ready for a powerful chorus.

Liberation, you know it's necessary.
Liberation, you're absent from it rarely.
Liberation! You, better stay war-y!
If you know what I mean.


The music gets calm again, the lead singer drifts back across the stage and sits down on a chair, softly singing the lyrics; heartfelt to the audience.

I know you love me,
I love you too,
But a liberation is overdue,
To ensure our love stays true.


The beat gets quicker and the drummer nods his head frantically, the electric and bass guitarists approach the front of the stage and start jumping up and down whilst the lead singer jogs around the stage trying to get the crowd excited. He belts out the chorus strongly.

Liberation, you know it's necessary.
Liberation, you're absent from it rarely.
Liberation! You, better stay war-y!
If you know what I mean.


It then goes to a guitar solo, the guitarist falling to his knees whilst playing the electrifying chords. The crowd go wild and the Bartholomite flag flies majestically in the background as the whole band sing the following lyrics:

Bartholomite Liberation,
Because we love our nation,
We will stay loyal and never retreat,
Other nations can't compete with...


The drum beats increasingly quicker and the pace of the song rapidly increases leading up to the chorus.

Liberation, you know it's necessary.
Liberation, you're absent from it rarely.
Liberation! You, better stay war-y!
If you know what I mean.


A Bartholomite member of the crowd attempts to jump on the stage but falls off hopelessly and is taken away by the stubborn police, eager to continue watching the spectacle before them despite also being on duty. The lead guitarist goes into this machine that elevates him to the top of the arena whilst he plays his guitar solo and fireworks are set off. The band finish with these beautiful lyrics.

Liberation may be real,
Liberation may be true,
But all I know is I love you


The Bartholomites in the audience go ballistic as the band casually stroll backstage half naked after having chucked their clothes into the crowd, but despite this act of eccentricity it isn't too well received by fans from the other competing nations, it may be the neutral's favourite though as they did put in a good performance.

12 - Hafamarimyht
Artist: Lumana Rumskynt
Song: No Hope
Language: English
Genre: Indie pop

Lumana and her backing band (one guitar and two keyboards) stand center stage, stark still. When the dark, synth-heavy music starts, Lumana remains still. Soon after the slower, oddly danceable beat starts, Lumana begins to sing.

Don't tell me what to do
I can make my own mind up
I'm saying that we're through

Don't try to make me stay
I'm leaving and I won't look back
I'm tired to my bones


At this point, Lumana begins to emote and gesticulate.

You can crawl on your knees
Come crying at night
But there's no hope for us
You killed our love

You can beg and plead
Swear on your life
But there's no hope for us
I won't come back


The pain on her face and in her voice becomes more evident throughout this next section, which she sings more loudly and with more vocal improvization than the first verse.

I've had enough of you
Won't put up with your childish games
Too late to take it back

Can't stand the thought of you
I get sick when I realize
I wasted so much time


Lumana takes the microphone from its stand and sings this next section quite powerfully.

You can crawl on your knees
Come crying at night
But there's no hope for us
You killed our love

You can beg and plead
Swear on your life
But there's no hope for us
I won't come back


The music rises a half-step. Lumana's singing in this section is stronger than ever.

You can crawl on your knees
Come crying at night
But there's no hope for us
You killed our love

You can beg and plead
Swear on your life
But there's no hope for us
I won't come back


The beat drops out and all that's left is the deep bass, back in the original key, and an echo is added to Lumana's voice.

No, there's no hope for us
I'm not coming back


She smiles and yells "Thank you Saintrabina!"

We've always known each other
I know I love you
but I'm not sure you know

We've always been good friends
We are the best of friends
But we could be so much more

And I love it when you're Here
and I love it when you're near
You're so beautiful and bright
You're my constant guiding light
You are kind and giving
You make life worth living
I love you

I've always had these feelings,
They've always been for you
But what about you?

Whenever I am with you
The worlds a better place
so I need to tell you

And I love it when you're Here
and I love it when you're near
You're so beautiful and bright
You're my constant guiding light
You are kind and giving
You make life worth living
I love you

We've always known each other
I know I love you
but I'm not sure you know

And I love it when you're Here
and I love it when you're near
You're so beautiful and bright
You're my constant guiding light
You are kind and giving
You make life worth living
I love you

Thank you World Hit Festival! Thank you Saintrabina!

Song: We are never far
Genre: Techno
Language: English
Lyrics & description of performance:

1st verse
When you left that night, you left me lonely
All by myself, it was not that funny
Couldn't get you out my head
Lying in my bed, were you my friend or foe

Just one note though, if you don't come back early
It might not be so, but boy you still better get ready
To stand in my shoes, alone and confused
I might not be here for you, when you return

Call me babe you still have a girl back here, just call me with no
fear
Write, or something please boy
All on my own, pick up the phone.

Chorus
Call me baby, you have a friend in your heart
Remember, remember we are never far

Image

I am here for you at this moment
So call me, where ever you are baby,
Get my message, read em and come back
Love's meaning is you and me
Come with me oh, for you I have a passion
It's are mistake you're making
Be my prince and bravely set me free

*Backup dancers wield imaginary swords*

2nd verse
Feel my body, those were to good times
I want them to return to us oh
Do it to me again, love was made way back then
"I love you babe" was what you said

Break down whatever is preventing us from becoming
We shall be lovers for eternity that's coming
You'll wait and see, together you and me

Forever we'll be ones. My heart
Is one with yours, souls meant to be so close.
It pumps whenever you are near to me baby.
Being together for time isn't a crime,

Chorus
Call me baby, you have a friend in your heart
Remember, remember we are never far
Image

I am here for you at this moment
So call me, where ever you are baby,
Get my message, read em and come back
Love's meaning is you and me
Come with me oh, for you I have a passion
It's are mistake you're making
Be my prince and bravely set me free

*Backup dancers wield imaginary swords*
Usnib says Thank you Saintrabina!

I'd be willing to do it if you were finished, but anyone should be able to offer.
