Well that's completely unnecessary...

In the 90s, Ireland won 3 times in a row (and effectively 5, given the fact the woman in Secret Garden is Irish + the 1996 win), and everyone was all raving about it.

In the 00s, Ireland decided not to care anymore and gave examples like their 2008 shenanigan.

I love how everything happens that fast!

This edition of the Landa vy Polkopiya has been brought to a close after the last results of the televote were announced. In an exciting turn of events, the Polkopian National Broadcaster had decided to allow the public to have a say in the Polkopian representative for the Worldvision Song Contest, and the format was changed as a result. Instead of seven songs in the 'Grand Final' of the Landa vy Polkopiya, decided purely by international juries, the Grand Final now consists of ten songs in the final, where the winner was selected by a 50/50 method, where 50% of the votes would come from juries, both international and national, and 50% would come from televoting.

The final scoreboard can be viewed below:

Image


This means that the first ever winner of the new and updated version of the Landa vy Polkopiya is... Victoria Magdalena, with her song, Galobaya Ceri! It will be the first time that Polkopia has entered a song in the Polkopian language since Johanna Sputman in Wv27 with her song, "Du Glaza."

Victoria Magdalena has already released the cover of her new single, Galobaya Ceri, and it is currently available for purchase for 0.99₱. The album art can be viewed below:

Image


The Polkopian delegation hereby wishes Victoria Magdalena and her team good luck in the upcoming contest.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the NF. Much appreciated! :)

Puppetry confirmed. Nobreloen and Arlnonsen will compete for Elke and Elba in the same arrangement as with WV35 and WV36.

And complimentary pimping for Elkean Laul because it will choose four songs for two contests.

Maybe.

I'm expecting some will surely vote for it because it's VIA Gra, or because it's Tod. :P

Yeah, it definitely wasn't what I thought would win. I just threw it in there because "Why the hell not?" Still pretty surprised with the results, though.

Ironically enough, I was kind of hoping Buzz Buzz would win, because I kind of liked Dolly Style in Melodifestivalen, but ya know...

I think Belgium finally has a chance, and I'm glad they haven't just stood him there. I actually really liked the Armenian one, as well as the Georgian one and the Estonian one.

Augen ot Praciba! - Eyes on Praciba!
Finally Finals - the Actual National Final


Contestants:

#1 - Þór Praßib Unðaß mós Kíbarn Phottúr (The Pracib Union of Singing Children/The Pracib Children's Choir)
Image


Þór Praßib Unðaß mós Kíbarn Phottúr is a new addition in the Pracib music scene, being a merger between the children's part of Þór Unðaß mós Phottúr (The Union of Singing/The Choir) and Þór Pracib Kíbarn (The Pracib Children). They have released delightful songs such as 'Asþe Mammi' (Dear Mommy) and 'Praß eggis Merous' (Bless our God/Bless our All-Being) and, after receiving large donations by Pracib entertainment moguls, they have decided to throw their musical abilities in the ring. Hoping to earn their place in the WorldVision Song Contest by aiming at the decency of the Pracib people, one of the children had this to say: 'I just hope that I don't disappoint my daddy'. Pracib Royal TV certainly hopes so too!


#2 - Lenny and Blaire
Image


When talking about power couples in Pracib entertainment, there's little room for any other name than Lenny and Blaire, pop music duo, actors, singers and entertainers of the first hour, in Lenny's case literally. Separated by a measly fifty-six years of life experience, Lenny found himself the most popular part of the Slap Pack, a group of '40s and '50s musicians that slapped each other during singing, and was the first singer ever on Pracib television. Doing odd jobs as a singer for a increasingly aging fan base, he met Blaire at such a job. Visiting her grandmother at a retirement home, Blaire, herself an aspiring singer, fell in love on first sight. Teaming up and eventually marrying in the same year, they are Praciba's primary entertainment power couple since 2010, joining both Praciba's oldies and newbies together.


#3 - Foreign Wildcard: Elejamie - Dave Berensky
Image


One of the most well-known Pracibamians, Dave Berensky, son of former Elejamian ambassador Stan Berensky, played in a variety of bands before making it big solo with the song “Tslað” (“Thanks”). Well known for his high-energy, out-of-the-box performances, which involves a lot of audience participation, he’s hoping to bring his own personal brand of anarchy to the WorldVision stage. While he was originally scheduled to appear for Augen ot Praciba 38 as the Elejamian Wildcard, he had to pull out due to a broken leg. While details are sketchy, some tabloids speculate that the injury happened during a party and involved a live chicken, a yet-to-be-named low ranking Pracib royal, two bottles of champagne and chocolate-flavored hand soap.


Songs:



Part the Stars is a country pop love song declaring the love between a man and his woman, stating that he would do anything to make her happy including 'part the stars'. While it is quite certain that no-one can part the stars with current technology, the deep feeling of love remains within.




The club is full, your glass isn't (anymore). The guy you're talking to is being very funny and it certainly isn't the alcohol that's talking. Sound familiar? Then You're So Funny will be your song, reliving the tales of people that get funnier while their companions get way, way drunk.




Take It Dear is a perfect fit for the current times, a time when the world is constantly moving around us. Stating that you should take things dear because they might be gone very soon, the song has found itself popular with both young and old, although for very different reasons.


The votes!
To vote, please provide your two favorite pairings (artist + song) and send these to Pracib Royal TV! Please note, it is allowed to either select the same song or the same artist twice.

Lymantatia is here!

Also, you might not have heard of this, but I'm working on an RP for a different nation, and anyone can partake in it: the name is not known, but I am working on the rest. It is about a ninth-grade student who moves from her parents' house across the sea to live with her sisters. Both main characters (the ninth-grader and seventh-grader) attend a school that serves sixth to twelfth graders, while the siblings aged 18-22 will attend a university close to the school.

The RP will start in early-September, while signups start in mid-August. Any comments or questions?
