WorldVision Song Contest 48 | OOC THREAD & DISCUSSION

[Oqmet]

The Öqmëti national broadcasting company (Öqmëti Pütlïçnë Lusçban) has internally selected Däzçë Vjütkajë to perform her song Fër Mja (With Love) at the 48th running of the WorldVision Song Contest. Massively popular in Öqmët, she has high hopes for a good placing, though for her, "it's more about celebrating music and the power it has to bring us together." She is also contemplating translating the song into English, but has not made a final decision at this time.

Nation Name: Öqmët
Official Broadcaster: ÖPL1
Song Title: Fër Mja

Hey everyone, I'd like to have some more votes for Sinun Valintasi: Lightning Edition. Currently I have one vote and would like at least a few more. If you have just several minutes to spare, I'd love it if you can pick your favorite of the two songs. Thanks!

[Mitoland]

Am I allowed to vote but not enter? Like they do in real life?

Every nation who votes in Eurovision sent a song.

Well, whoever hosts Worldvision 50, should make it the best contest - it's 50! Also, I thought that I was a good host...(WV41)

[Normandy and Picardy]

And then you had the incredibly tight finish to WV42 (Which I coincidentally hosted) Also, expect a new host bid tonight

[The Sarian]

My favourite edition, in terms of quality of the songs, remains WV32 - there were about 5 or 6 songs that could've won in they entered in different editions.

[Kalosia]

Oh are we posting our hosting history?
I first hosted in WV22, hosted again in WV27, and once again in WV43. The latter imo is unfortunately not as well-hosted as the other 2 because it was during busy times for me.
Though, I did a particularly good job hosting the 19th World Hit Festival and I consider it the epitome of my hosting abilities (look at all the graphics I made!). When I host WV again I'll try my best to raise the standard I set myself.

I will participate this time. Meaning I can host.

If this is your first time participating, you can only bid for host next edition or later. In the meantime, watch how this edition is hosted and look at previous contests (or listen to us babble on about how great we were at hosting previous editions).[/quote]
So basically, the earliest you can host is on your second participation.

Am I allowed to vote but not enter? Like they do in real life?

Looks like we have someone here who doesn't watch the semifinals

Short answer: no, you must enter to vote, and you must vote if you enter.

Long answer: in real life the countries that don't perform but vote in the Eurovision final are those who did enter a song, but they didn't make it past the semifinals.

[Britonisea]

I don't think I'd be able to host a WHF to that standard.

[Normandy and Picardy]

Official Bid - WorldVision 48

Normandy and Picardy is a land with a long history weaved with musical tradition. Everyone has some form of music in their life, from a school lesson to being a member of the National Orchestra. There is a passion for music not just in Cherbourg but in the entirety of Normandy and Picardy, and for centuries, musicians have practised their trade rom the Olðenfjrer to WorldVision. Being a perfect mixture of old and new, Cherbourg is the ideal place for music of all types to thrive and flourish. It is a city of music, of history, of philosophy, and is a true representation of exactly what Normandy and Picardy has to offer. So we invite you, one and all, to “Play” in Normandy and Picardy, and to celebrate Freedom, Hope and Friendship.

Nice, I like it

[Bad Nazis]

Since I currently lack inspiration for a song I was thinking of doing green room interviews with the artists instead. Is there interest for something like that?

As long as it doesn't disrupt the hosts intentions...

[Normandy and Picardy]

In fact, if I host we could make some sort of arrangement...

Not sure what you mean.

I don't intend to clutter the contest with questions everywhere, but instead finishing the interview/s through tg first of course, and then post the whole thing in one post, if that's what you meant.

I'm of course also open for cooperation with the host, if that can be done in some way.

Wunderbar!

I would be totally up for that! That would certainly be an interesting rp angle.

Make sure you draft some good questions though.

[Lons]

I'm not Britonisea, but I think he meant that the host might want to do something similar and it would be awkward. As a precaution, I think it'd be best to discuss this with the host once they are elected.

That's exactly what I meant, yes

I knew those mind reading lessons would pay off eventually...

I'll make sure to now. Initially I just thought I'd wing it, and tailor it a bit based on the contestants.

Ah, ok! Well in that case, maybe you can do the real interviews and I just come in with a Lynda Woodruff type of character. Or if you rather do the fun interviews, I can do the "boring" serious ones.

Though I won't force myself in, of course not, if you rather do it yourself. It was just an idea I just got.

Our personal relations(at least from my side) may be frosty right now, but hi!

This is actually my second time competing. The song's not good, however. It has never been.

Yes, Skyfall and Hello has been used.
