Winner's Reprise

Anna Viktoreevna - Feel Like This Again

Tune: Tiësto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora - Ritual

Once the finalized results appeared on the scoreboard, the crowd held their breath for what seemed like an eternity to Anna, but in reality lasted half a second. Before long the crowd erupted in a state of massive applause as the winner was announced and Polkopian flags were waved among members of the audience in a state of pandemonium as Polkopian fans were ecstatic about winning their first victory in twenty five editions, effectively ending a period of unsuccessful attempts from the PNB to win the Worldvision Song Contest. The camera panned to Anna herself, who was already in tears and embracing her music rival and lover, Sergey Borisčev. He stood up and escorted her ut of the green room before ushering her to the stage, where she joined the Kalosian hosts who held the trophy out to her. She took the trophy and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Thank you!" She said in between tears, but soon collected herself as she prepared herself to give a performance - a tradition that wa scustomary among Worldvision winners. The hosts left the stage and the arena was set for her to give another performance of her winning song, Feel Like This Again.

Once the opening notes of the song played, deep purple and blue lights flickered on around the stage in a 4-count pattern until the entire stage was illuminated in these colors. What was revealed on the stage was a massive pyramid with two bases - the first one being ten steps or so from the floor of the stage and the second base being 5 steps taller than the other one. Muscular, shirtless guys draped in short colorful skirts stood single-file on either end of the stairs, each of them wearing a masquerade mask decorated with elaborate colors and designs. The top of the pyramid wasn't revealed until the fourth and final illumination of the lights, which occurred just before she began to sing. When the top of the pyramid was revealed, it showed that the top had no platform or anything for anybody to stand on. Half a second after the lights illuminated the top, however, the platform finished rising from behind the pyramid and fit into place at the top. When this happened, the audience at home could hear the massive cheering from the crowd that ensued from this. On the platform, a massive golden throne was placed in the center and Anna was seated on the throne, with her legs hanging over one of the arms of the chair. Two men, who were dressed in a similar getup as the others, were standing on either side of her. One of them held a massive fan decorated like a peacock's feathers and was fanning her face and the other man held a ceramic bowl with various assortments of fruits, though he stood perfectly still. Anna maintained her medium-length blonde hair which was styled in the same way as it had always been. She wore a gold and white one-piece unitard-esque outfit studded with various gemstones along the outside of the outfit. Long trains of red and orange fabric were stitched to the back of her outfit and were draped over the sides of the platform atop the pyramid. She wore golden high heels and long golden earings dangled from her ears. Her makeup, meanwhile, was relatively minimal and she only wore a light amount of coverup, lipstick, and mascara. Moments before she started singing, she hung her head back over the arm of the chair and let her face be fanned. She narrowed her brow and pursed her lips in a sexy expression before lifting up the microphone to her face and singing.

Too hard to breathe
Just you and me
I'm losing sleep
Ohhh yeah...

Between verses, the camera shifted to various men along the stairs, who were all standing perfectly still. During the time that it took the camera to do this, Anna adjusted her position so she was sitting normally in the throne. When she started singing, Anna leaned slightly forward and seemed to be singing directly at the camera with a slight smile on her face.

This one's on me
Drink up, honey
I'm all you see...
Babe

Anna held our her free hand and the man who had previously held the bowl of fruit took her hand in his and she stood up and walked down the stairs in-sync with the beat, along with the other man who had been fanning her. By the end of the first line, the three of them had made it to the lower base of the pyramid. During the second line, the two men stepped behind her and moved their hands all over her body and Anna closed her eyes and allowed herself to sing with a sensual expression. For the third line, the two men hoisted her up and she looked up at the camera - which now showed an aerial view of the stage. By the fourth line, she had been brought back down.

So sit back, relax, and hang your head back, I'll take it straight from here
Don't let me go, we'll take it real slow, don't have to go nowhere
Do this all night, no end in sight, when I'm with you I feel alive
Feel alive

The crowd erupted in another massive round of cheering as the chorus began. The men who were perched on the ends of the stairs began to slowly walk down to the floor of the stage and the two men alongside Anna did the same. The lights changed colors between deep blues, purples, pinks, and reds throughout these next few lines. By the end of her lines, the men had all made it to the floor of the stage.

If I'm honest, I never want this to end
Don't have to play pretend
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

My heart is
Pounding right through my chest and
Can't give my mind a rest and
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

For the drop, the lights continued to flicker in the same pattern as before, only this time spotlights of similar colors made their way around the crowd. The camera zoomed out to see an overview of the arena which was flooded with various deep shades and then cut to various people around the crowd who were jumping and dancing along to the song. The camera then cut back to the stage and the fabric behind Anna was blowing straight up into the air, due to a wind machine below her. She lifted her free hand up to control the fabric a bit and hung her head back, bending her knees and moving her body along to the beat, occasionally singing when it was her cue to do so. The man at the bottom of the stage circled the pyramid, all doing synchronized dancing involving jumping, punching, roundhouse kicking, and flipping.

Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

When the chorus ended and the verses began, Anna slowly moved down the steps as she sang. The men, meanwhile, paired up and did another round of choreography which consisted of hoisting their partner up and spinning him, jerky arm and shoulder movements, and gymnastic-floor techniques. By the last line of her verse, she was halfway down the stairs. The same two men who were with her at the beginning left the circle below and climbed up the stairs to join Anna.

So scream my name
When we're alone
And fan the flames
...And late at night..

When our lips meet
It feels complete
So take me there

The two men who joined her hoisted her up on their shoulders and climbed down the stairs in-sync with the beat and by the first line they had made it to the stage floor. For the second line, she pushed her free hand out in front of her and all the men around her fell to their knees and lied on their backs in-sync with one another. During the third line, she walked forward and pulled her hand into her body and the men slowly got back up to their feet.

So sit back, relax, and hang your head back, I'll take it straight from here
Don't let me go, we'll take it real slow, don't have to go nowhere
Do this all night, no end in sight, when I'm with you I feel alive
Feel alive

During this part, Anna and the dancers all hung their heads back and moved their hands over their own bodies slowly. The camera shifted from Anna, to one of the dancers, to another, over and over, showing each of them for a half a second or so, before moving back to Anna. During the second half, one of the man had approached her and they started dancing with one another in the same fashion as before.

If I'm honest, I never want this to end
Don't have to play pretend
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

My heart is
Pounding right through my chest and
Can't give my mind a rest and
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

During the drop, she flung her hand to the side, throwing him off of her, and she started dancing her own choreography, involving squatting, hair-flipping, rapid hip and chest movements, and spinning. The background dancers resumed the same dance that they had performed during the previous drop.

During the breakdown, the LED lights had turned a deep teal color, but a dark purple spotlight was shown on Anna as she sang this part. Meanwhile, two female background dancers, dressed in similarly-colored leotards as Anna joined her and stood on either side of her, holding their hands behind their backs and looking down. During the fourth and final line, Anna held the last note longer than in the studio cut, resulting in a massive round of applause and cheering from the crowd.

So sit back, relax, and hang your head back babe

Don't let me go, we'll take it real slow, babe...

Oh... Do this all night, no end in sight babe...

Oh... anywhere, everywhere...

Because Anna held the last note longer than expected, the background singers sang the first two lines. The camera was only focused on the three women on stage at the moment, and the two background singers, meanwhile, shot their hands up into the air and popped their hips in-sync with the beat. The crowd clapped along and Anna joined the background singers in singing and dancing for the third line. When the drop happened again, she continued to sing, except that she moved from the main stage and strutted down the catwalk. The LED light in the middle of the stage fluctuated from a deep blue, to a purple, to a teal, matching the lights around the stage. Halfway down the catwalk, Anna unclipped the fabric from the back of her outfit, letting the material fall down on the catwalk as she moved forward. At one point, she moved to the edge of the catwalk and reached out her free hand to the cheering members of the crowd standing and dancing adjacent to the catwalk and touched some of their hands before making it to the island. She sang the last few lines on the island of the stage, and during the last line, the lights dimmed and the camera focused in on her face.

If I'm honest, I never want this to end
Don't have to play pretend
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

My heart is
Pounding right through my chest and
Can't give my mind a rest and
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

If I'm honest, I never want this to end
Don't have to play pretend
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

My heart is
Pounding right through my chest and
Can't give my mind a rest and
Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

Oh, boy, make me feel like this again

When the song ended, Anna covered her face with her hands and hung her head down. Smiling, she waved to the crowd. "Thank you so much! Thank you!" She shouted in the microphone before leaving the stage with her trophy.
