After the shock of Brunhilda and VIECK finishing in 16th place in Varea, one of Tödlichebujoku's worst placings, TÖBUK had to figure out a way to redeem itself in the nation's eyes. As such, the broadcaster launched an aggressive campaign to recruit quality music from across the nation for the 8th edition of Sinun Valintasi. With this campaign, 8 submissions were chosen to appear in the national final, with an extra submission chosen by popular vote. The winning wildcard submission, "Talvezout" by the band Annulat, won by a surprising landslide as its popularity soared in the crystallomatrix. However, all songs have their devoted followings, and so TÖBUK is sending out an impassioned plea for foreign juries to respond with input.

Viivi Keil - She's Got It
Tune: Elina Born - Miss Calculation

She's got a sense of fashion
A healthy dose of passion

No matter where she goes
She's glowing like a rose

Her moves are always dashin'
Her body's always smashin'

She'll keep you up past midnight
'Cause she's the central highlight

geula ft. SKAISTS - Desire
Tune: Marnik ft. ROOKIES - Burn

Close, close, close, to my heart, heart, heart
Don't you know, oh, oh
You're desire, you're desire, take me down
Take, take, take me down, down, down
Have my soul, you're desire, you're desire, take me down

Nina Ebner - Yáset Südámet
Tune: Ольга Бузова - Мало Половин

Yáiset südámet, yáiset-yáiset südámet (Frozen hearts, frozen hearts)
Yáiset südámet, yáiset-yáiset südámet (Frozen hearts, frozen hearts)
Yáiset südámet, yáiset-yáiset südámet (Frozen hearts, frozen hearts)
Me olemme, yáátá sisállá (We are ice inside)

Toinen Páivá - Rain
Tune: MBAND - Ниточка

Don't end our fortune with pain
Like in those heartbreak movies
Don't end our heart's song with blame
Like in my darkest nightmares
Don't let our love, be torn apart, cut to dark, in cold rain

Viryato & Sačiko Sauber- Yekek' Nerk'ev (Let's Go Down)
Tune: Tujamo ft. Sorana - One On One

Yekek’ nerk’ev, and taste the flowing sweetness
All I want right now is to feel this
Yekek’ nerk’ev, you can be my weakness
We can be free, by the deep sea

Yekek’ nerk’ev, tonight and we'll be sleepless
We don't need reasons to do this
Yekek’ nerk’ev, all night until we're speechless
We can be free, by the deep sea

Hilya Šuster - Sorcery
Tune: Полина Гагарина - Шагай

It's a long, long time we've had coming
And well, my, my, haven't you seen?
Nüt ballari kanssani liekkeihin (Now come dance with me into flames)
And you will know all my sorcery
My mad sorcery

NAUYA & Irmingard - Lost
Tune: Hellberg ft. Cozi Zuehlsdorff- The Girl

I look back to think of everything that's gone
I look back and see a life that I've let down

Shooting stars fall fast, like everything right, all I could love
Can't hold myself now, crashing in flames, like all that I have lost

Voiyt - Olen Tulossa (I Am Coming)
Tune: RAIGN - This Is The End

Olen, tuhannen mürskün ukkonen (I am, the thunder of a thousand storms)
Olen tulossa (I am coming)

Oh, en pelkáá valtaa kenenkáán (Oh, I'm not afraid of anyone's power)
Olen tulossa (I am coming)

WILDCARD ENTRY

Annulat - Talvezout

Tune: Toto - Africa

I live to tell you all about the world I knew
All these years have passed but time will push on through
I danced with death, back in Talvezout
Don't stop yourself from living out a wild life

Please send your ranking of the entries (with your #1 entry marked) to Sinun Valintasi (or DM me on Discord)! Voting closes Monday, May 21 (though votes slightly later may be accepted). Your votes will be greatly appreciated!

by **Vartugia** » Sat May 12, 2018 4:10 am

This will be the last time Vartugia bids for a while.

"WE ARE TOTALY NOT DESPERATE TO WIN THE BID"

OFFICIAL BID FOR WORLDVISION 65 SËRNA, VARTUGIA

"Pick Me!! LOL"

Wealcoume to teh greatest citay on teh intarneit.

Sërna, Vartugia keeps spamming at the bid in a desperate attempt to become the savior from oppressive “good bid”. It will make the future WorldVision Bids Great Again by showcasing how awesome our city is compared to the sh*t the rest are. This is the obvious best bid. EVER. PERIOD. THE REST ARE FAKE AND LIAR. LIKE FAKE NEWS! IM WERY SMART! VOTE4SËRNA

Why Sërna?

Sërna is a city which there is always nothing to do. Our most iconic building is the “HWESJFWFT6RKJHSLILSPJSRRUROHJGAEKJHRWEYAU” Hotel, who you are going to stay in. It got 0.1 stars out of 6, so it is very good

The city with too many citizens will force their own culture down your trout. Some will sing badly. Some will do.... er..... "testing their axe" (Darkmanian slang for “murdering you with an axe”) on you. With a population of 10069,3 million, this is the smallest town to host the biggest event in the world.

Venue And Stage?

The venue will be the “well built” WeDontHaveAnameForThisArena Arena. Its just got rebuild from scratch, so it can no fit more than 12345 individuals.

The stage is built using the most advanced Vartugian tech. We now got light! More you want?

Who will host this glorious ~~propaganda~~ event?

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam, link here with a traditional Vartugia Wedding drees will be the only host for the event. She is known for many thing, like hosting “My Man Is A Walrus, Help” and “All Hail Our Tree”.

How will the Postcard look?

Postcards are skipped, `cause Y'all need not some sh*t someone made, y`all need tho worship Filler-Man

Hostingportifolio

Nothing, now go and make me host this sh*t! Why do you think I keep biding? Because im stupdid?!?

As the player behind me: Only the 39th WHF.

Welcome to Lipa!

The official host bid for Lipa, Besen - In WV65. "Come Along!"

Lipa is a magnificent city, full of culture and history. The modernisation in the 80's made Lipa one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. You can find so much to do here in Lipa, perhaps go for a cold swim by the River Anis, play Kreballis (soccer/football) in the many stadiums we have to offer. Whatever it is- Lipa has got it. Let's take a look at how Besen will host the contest.

What is our venue?

The Starlight Arena was built in 1994 to host the national Kreballis championships of that year. It is very large and spacious inside, perfect for the stage that will need to be built. A $5,000,000 budget has been placed- only for the new infrastructure to be built. A further $2,500,000 is for the potential hosting of the contest.

Who are the hosts?

Samantha Jersoin is a WV veteran, being the spokesperson for Besen twice, commentator once, and five-year advocate for Besen in the contest. Hannah Berelie is the talented pop artist that represented Besen at the WHF 38 in Britonisea. They both have been briefed about the job and knew what they are doing. Hannah has also been given the fabulous job of Green Room host too!

What will the postcards be?

The theme of this edition's postcards will be Unity! "Come along!" and show us what unites your nations- it could be anything at all!

What will the scoreboard look like?

And finally, our scoreboard! Above is a sneak-peak into what will be created for this edition's graphic design.

Well, that's all the information that we have to give for now, so make sure to leave feedback via TG or discord to let us know, what to change- if we win of course! And we must also encourage you to Vote Lipa, Besen!

WorldVision 65: The Early State of Play

The dust has settled on WorldVision 64 as the committee have been at work setting up the upcoming WorldVision Song Contest. Many nations have already confirmed their intent to participate and have steadily released their entries. We here at Klarete have been tracking these early bird nations and our thoughts are slowly being collated. Just as fast as us punters, the Izmeduan bookies have been quickly setting up an outright win market. With the help of many of our loyal readers and in conjunction with some of these bookies, we present to you Klarete's collation of the WorldVision odds.

WIN MARKET
Todlichebujoku 8/1
Darkmania 9/1
Britonisea 10/1
Besen 13/1
Normandy and Picardy 15/1
Mister X 15/1
Togonistan 15/1
Mercedini 18/1
Mabuhay Land 20/1
Kalosia 20/1
Nekoni 22/1
Adab 25/1
Antahbrantahstan 25/1
Izmedu 25/1
Kaspania 33/1
Amenria 40/1
Nightom 40/1
Oscioru 43/1
Nusalia 45/1
Lons 45/1
Indochina and Thailand 75/1
Ardoki 80/1
Proluvia 100/1
Kassegrochia 100/1
Saviera 200/1
Merecendi 250/1
Vartugia 400/1

As our column is now being made international, punters from other countries that wish to invest in these nations utilizing Izmeduan odds must take note that the outright win market for WorldVision is often volatile and unpredictable even right up to the night of the event itself, an adage which holds true in these early stages. Our current advisory is to keep a close watch of key national selections and watch out for debutantes that present us with entries that could well have the potential to surprise the scoreboard.

The current favorite to win the contest is Todlichebujoku. Their status is off the back of a strong edition of Sinun Valintasi, through which TOBUK has engaged in a promotional drive and is currently seeking international jury votes. The second favorite is Darkmania, launching up to the near top of the odds off the back of a tune that has caused a strong market reaction as well as a proven history in the World Hit Festival. The third favorite is Britonisea, who are hotly tipped to do well and depending on the entry, could win three times on the trot. Many of the top 10 fancies (Besen, Normandy and Picardy, Mister X, or Togonistan) are those with currently active national finals or with proven voting histories. Thus, is it especially important to take caution when backing or laying these nations, as nations will inevitably contract or drift depending on the chosen entries and the competition.

These odds will solidify further as we get more entries and nations. As always, do keep the discussion going.

(OOC: still deciding if to make new posts or just regularly update this one. watch the space.)

BITC IN MELTDOWN AHEAD OF 65^TH WORLDVISION SONG CONTEST

City: Telm City, Britonisea

According to insider information, BITC (Britonisea International Television Corporation) - who is in charge - is finding it very difficult to live up to the expectation from the nation ahead of the 65th iteration of the WorldVision Song Contest.

An insider leaked earlier today that the BITC are considering three different artists to represent Britonisea at the WorldVision Song Contest 65, explaining that it is between a male, female and a duo of two females. However, BITC are not sure whether either any of three artists they have picked is perfect for Britonisea at this stage. The insider said that "Because of the recent success Britonisea has had, BITC are incredibly under pressure to make sure that the nation does well, even if it does not win. BITC want to enjoy themselves, but can't because they need to somehow keep up the good results." According to Klarete, an Izmeduan betting site, Britonisea is 10/1 to win (3rd place amongst all confirmed nations) despite the fact Britonisea is yet to reveal anything about it's intentions for WorldVision 65.

Britonisea has enjoyed a three edition streak of top 2 places, something that has shocked not only the broadcaster, but the nation. In the last two editions, Britonisea did a "Kishrael", winning consecutively, something that hasn't been doing for 30 editions exactly. Frida Grover won with 98 points, while Vha Mehlodhivestoile victor, Taron Woods, won WV64 with 117 points. Vha Mehlodhivestoile, after only three editions, have contributed to two of Britonisea's wins, proving the format of the show to be very successful. BVC tried in 2018 to make the contest similar to 2016 again, when Mini Surrey North ended up winning it after the 2017 edition was criticised for being "too much" and lead to Britonisea only receiving 9th at WorldVision.

The BITC recently have been enjoying the success that has come from broadcasting the WorldVision Song Contest, with the 63rd WorldVision Song Contest giving them a rating of 9.91 million (11.98 million peak) and the most recent edition giving them a rating of 10.43 million (14.42 million peak), which is the highest since WorldVision 57 when Britonisea last hosted. BITC suddenly not doing well will most definitely impact those ratings.

In all, BITC has promised "a great show from Britonisea in WorldVision 65".

tl;dr: yadda yadda, lonish nf

With the re-entry of Lons into the WorldVision contest, a decision has been made to improve upon the meagre results of the country's past in the contest. LAU, broadcaster of the contest in Lons has organized the Fiutlî Dunun, where several reknowned Lonish artists are competing to become the first Lonish entry in quite some time.

A - Pêntinâ - Take a Chance - Tune: Kesha - Learn To Let Go

B - Nene - Sun - Tune: Lady Gaga - Just Another Day

C - Geliâ Nâlvon - I Hope Not - Tune: Caro Emerald - Excuse My French

D - Tinysoul - Everything - Tune: Cold War Kids - Love Is Mystical

You may vote by sending me a TG, Discord message, or a carrier pidgeon containing/carrying your preferential order of songs. They'll be combined with Lonish judges votes to produce the winner of the Fiutlî Dunun, the Lonish entry to WV65! (There'll be a more interesting option next time around, I assure you (: )
