Kuona: Kayan representative for WV28



Kayan broadcaster KBC 4 has once again chosen to select its entrant for WorldVision Internally after 2 consecutive top 10 placings using this method and has chosen Kayan Singing star Kuona Aiyele to represent Kayana at WorldVision Song Contest 28.



Alena is a very popular singer in Kayana who at the age of 24 already has 4 top 10 albums, 6 number one hits and several Kayan music awards to his name. He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Kayan music. He is also a style-icon and recently launched his own fashion line "Tagged: Kuona". He is honoured to have recieved the offer to represent the country and hopes that he can bring home a victory for Kayana.



Kuona will sing "Cymri Kagana", "Javesan", and his hit song, "Bravia" at WorldVision, a pop-rock power-ballad inspired by his own recent break-up with her boyfriend. Kuona plans to embark on a promo tour of several participating countries to promote the entry before the contest.

Can I suggest you come up with your own entry post instead of using someone else's... this is clearly the information from the Kingfordian entry that you are now using for yourself

On that note, I've noticed a lot of similarities between Luziyca's host bid (created in this edition's signup stage) and my host bid (which I drafted for WV27). Parts of Luziyca's bid look slightly plagiarised to me - tut-tut.

And I'm not doing this as some sort of smear campaign, I'd just thought I'd point it out.

The committee shall take a look, CQ.

EDIT: And now I have to actually read some host bids instead of looking at the pictures, omg (

I've noticed you're using many of the same things you had in your last bid too. Haven't you ever heard of the golden rule "never resubmit a failed bid". If it doesn't work once, it doesn't work again

[Kingsley Bedford]

Slightly plagiarised is an understatement... Luziyca's bid is heavily plagiarised. Not just plagiarising your bid from WV27, but the Kalosian WV27 bid as well. The stage is exactly the same as the one from Kalosia's WV27 bid, postcards are the same idea and in regards to the Quinntopian bid, Luziyca has used the same formatting and sentence structure but re-worded it in an attempt to fool the reader into thinking it was an original.

I've got some examples:

1.

Some have even volunteered to act as guides

Many people in Yerevan plan to volunteers to assist those who are coming to Luziyca because of WorldVision 28.

2.

By the way, both the buses and Metro have air conditioning and free WiFi

The Yerevan buses boast air conditioning, accessible to those with disabilities or without, as well as free Wi-fi

3.

so you can read up on WorldVision 28 in superb comfort.

so you can read up on WorldVision in marvelous comfort

4.

If nightclubs aren't your thing, then of course, there are museums which commemorate many of Marantha's historical milestones, as well as cinemas dotted around the downtown area, many of them possessing 3D screens.

If however, you are not interested in nightclubs, we got other methods of having fun! We got museums commemorating Yerevan's long and storied history, and monuments to commemorate those too. There are many movie theaters, most of them multiplexes dotted throughout this city, many having 3D screens and air conditioning.

5.

In addition to this, there's the Marantha Zoo and Aquarium Complex, containing one of Quinntopia's largest zoos and the nation's largest aquarium

We also have the Yerevan Zoological Gardens, the second largest zoo in the country, behind the Bethlehem Zoo, as well as the country's largest aquarium

There's more.

6.

There's also a multitude of public gardens for you to relax - Marantha gets extremely hot in the summer, with temperatures soaring to nearly 40°C (104°F), so remember to pack lots of sun cream!

From the restored English gardens... However, it can get really hot in the summer, around 35 degrees (95 for those who use Imperial), and really sunny, so bring your sunscreen, or you may end up with a sunburn.

7.

All rooms boast free WiFi, air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, drinks-making facilities and more.

All the rooms in the hotel free wi-fi, minibars, a safe, luxurious beds that adjust to your body, facilities to make your own beverage, room service, and more

8.

So now, we move away from the city of Marantha (in a figurative sense) and move onto the details of the contest itself.

Now, we are leaving Yerevan (metaphorically) and getting into the dirty details of the venues for WorldVision 28.

9.

The small hole at the top of the stadium will be closed on the night of the contest.

The roof is retractable and will be closed on the evening of the contest

That's all I found, so yes, in lieu of what KB said, I'm changing my description from "slightly plagiarised" to "heavily plagiarised".

Out of curiosity, what is the penalty for the plagiarism of host bids¹?

¹ If there is a penalty, that is.

I got through them eventually, and I do see the similarities, your examples CQ also helped.

While I am unsure about what the penalty is for plagiarism (I'm sure we'll discuss this though), I can say this:

Luziyca, your bid is so unsustainable. IC'ly, the WorldVision would be a chance for a city to use the contest to make money. You're practically giving everything away for free. It's a little too much to be honest.

Thanks, Kish! If the penalty isn't a DQ or removal of the bid, I shall remove the free prices for the hotels.

[The Royal Kingdom of Quebec]

My suggestion is to give Luziyca a week to fix his bid and de-plagirise it. If not, bid won't be accepted by the committee.

Sounds cool?

I accept that one. I'm in the process of doing so right now.

[Kalosia]

The only thing I feel is justified in Luziyca's host bid is the WorldClub; I assume there is one at every edition, just like the EuroClub at Eurovision.

[Luziyca]

I have edited, if there is still evidence of plagiarism (I have done my best to remove them for now), let me know, because I am going to mow the lawn.

[Yakostan]

Quinn, I think he might of just used it as a general guideline and followed it from there. When I did mine, I had to take a couple looks at yours to see what to put in

Yes, I did.

But I am at the same time, adapting my bid as it goes through criticism and such.

[Haute Savoie]

Haute Savoie decided to make their debut in the contest.

Song : Temps
Singers : DCX
Tune : M83 - Wait
Language : French

In this song, the most popular group on Haute Savoie, DCX, put more music than lyrics.

[New Lowerlands]

New Lowerlands will come back in this contest. After Rose Dumatin, Jacques Jalliet, Julien Derres and Heelentje van Turen, now the new singer to join WorldVision family is Leila Kowski. Winner of the 7th edition of the Lutch version of The X Factor, she will sing in Lutch, one of the official languages of the New Lowerlands. The name of the song is Maach'den Laviit ( Invisible Tears ).

Tune : Florent Mothe - Les Blessures Qui Ne Se Voient Pas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xg_xB-mems

[Euskirribakondara]

this is my twerkin song how did you know i

Okay, two things.
ONE. It is a Colombian song, so of course I'd know it.
TWO. I had nightmares thanks to your comment. Twerking's bad for Asian-descent guys, it makes the Gods cry. It's already enough Miley Cyrus tried it.


Now, in respect to the Luziyca's bid; I think it wasn't that evident at first, but you've done a great investigation SherloCQ Holmes. Now on the other hand, I agree... If you give everything for free, what are you going to win? It's not like you can use smiles and/or thank-yous as currency anywhere. Not even in the Pony countries.

That was pretty much why I removed the references to the discounts by the CEOs for the hotels. Everything else, they'd still have to pay for, but since it is a bit much, I chose to chop it, as well as references that made it seem like I am plagiarizing (as much that is painfully obvious, as well as including Kalosia for creating that concept, there may be some left over).

1. Twerking's bad, in my opinion, for all guys. Not just Those of Asian descent.
2. You weren't the only ones with nightmares, you know. My brother often twerks and oh my eyes.....
3. Very much true about "Not even pony countries".

One of these days, I should twerk to this song.

Tasrailia will sign up for the very first time.

At least you don't have to put up with things like this every time you log in to Twitter (even though I follow him by choice). Though I'm pretty much used to it, no matter how bad it gets.

Can anyone here speak German? I might ask for your help on my song.
