THE 79TH WORLDVISION SONG CONTEST - PHODA, TALVEZOUT
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2020 8:30 pmThe TRT logo - three concentric irregular polygons grouped together - would appear on screen, alongside the official TRT fanfare for Worldvision 79, specially composed for this event. After the jingle had played twice, a horn fanfare would play as the logo of the contest, designed by a graphic arts company in Kalosia, would fade into view. Based off art deco design ethos, the logo would shimmer before a waving flag of Talvezout would slowly fade into view. As the purple and white flag would be waving in the wind, the Phoda Philharmonic Orchestra would start playing a unique composition, "Talvezia Forever". The words "PHODA FOREVER", repeated in the five languages of Talvezout - Talvezian, Talfossian, International, Allugha, and Ashprakh would appear on screen, overlayed on top of the Talvezian flag, as the strings of the orchestra would swell.
The wavering Talvezian would slowly fade out to reveal an ancient,1500s styled map of Talvezout, with that image fading out to reveal a modern day map of Talvezout; the camera would slowly zoom onto the island of Oñati, where Phoda is located, as the shot would transition into a helicopter view of Phoda. The helicopter would fly around Phoda, revealing the various locales of the city, before hovering over the Museum of the Siege - a museum complex dedicated to the remembrance of the Talvezian Wars and the Siege of Phoda. We would then go to the front of the museum, with the camera - and the viewer slowly walking up the steps of the great complex, before stopping at a statue and plaque. The statue - a huddled group of people marching, with their little remaining possessions in tow - would be underscored with a plaque beneath reading "We will endure - Vamos a soportar." As a solitary flute would play, the camera would turn to reveal the whole of Phoda spread out before them. The viewer would be swept along the skyscape of Phoda, flying high above the city, with the camera lingering on various landmarks.
The camera would finally linger on a funeral in the city's historic Universalidad Cemetery, as the strings would fade, being replace by a more jaunty guitar and flute combo. The camera would suddenly cut to a baptism of a newborn baby, as various scenes of the daily life of Phodans would play out onscreen. Birthdays, prayer services, work, play, celebrations - all would appear onscreen as the viewer would see how Phoda was like. A scene of Phoda's Jewish population celebrating the holiday of Purim would be inter-cut with scenes of Muslims praying at the Nisí Tzamí, the most prominent mosque in Phoda, with the entire tableaux being punctuated with a solitary flute. As organ music would play, we would transition to a Christian celebration of Palm Sunday - throngs of the faithful would crowd the streets, holding candles, flowers, and palms. As the strings would return, we would see the Interfaith Field of Phoda - a green space dedicated to all religions. Trees, bushes, and flowers would crowd the park, as we, the viewers, would be treated to a personal tour of the space. We would in turn hard cut to performance in the park by a group of Dervishes, whirling about as a band would play on. A series of cuts would follow as we would see various Phodans of all ages, sexualities, faiths, gender identities, and abilities enjoying life in the city, before stopping on an elderly couple quietly enjoying the life around them in one of Phoda's many beaches. As the strings would swell once more, the shot would slowly fade out to the flower gardens in front of Campo B - a camera would linger on a single white rose before rising up to show the gigantic banner festooning the front of the stadium; the banner would be a display of the logo of the contest, and the camera would slowly zoom in onto it.
We would transition to a shot of the stage inside the gigantic Campo B; a gigantic white shroud would cover the stage, as the logo was projected onto it. A 60 second countdown would play before the strings of the opening song would begin, as a silhouette of Siracauso, flanked by several dancers would appear. As the music would slowly build up, the dancers would begin to dress Siracauso, with her being outfitted in a elegant dress reminiscent of Baroque times. As the beat would kick in, the giant shroud would burn up, revealing the stage. While the audience would applaud, Siracauso would be lifted upwards by the floating stage, which would move into position above the audience. Drag queens and drag kings dressed in the various national colors of the competing nations would storm the stage and the audience, as Siracauso would begin to perform on the stage hoisted above the audience.
Footage from Worldvision 48 would be playing on the screens behind Siracuso, with the audience cheering in response. Scenes of the opening act, the various performers, the interval act, the voting, and most important of all, Polkopia's win, would be shown, with Polkopia's win gaining the most cheers. The video would freeze on Branka Larisa performing her winning song, before switching to a live feed of Siracauso performing right now.
As the refrain would kick in, Siracauso would be joined by two gorgeous dancers dressed in Roaring 20s garb - they arrived on the platform after parachuting into the stadium. They would perform alongside Siracauso on the floating stage, as down below the audience would be having a giant party. On stage, the drag queens would all be doing a runway routine, with each queen strutting their stuff on the catwalk that extended out into the audience.
The floating stage would slowly fly back to the main stage, as the drag queens and kings would make space for the platform. They would help lift Siracauso off it as it would rise back into the air, now being flipped vertically. An LED on it would display the logo for the contest, as Siracauso and the drag performers would continue their routine. Flags of the performing nations of tonight's contest would appear on stage (being lowered from the rafters), while a sudden pyrotechnic would reveal Siracauso's new outfit - a rainbow colored ballgown.
Siracauso would lead the drag kings and drag queens down to the catwalk as the fans would cheer with delight. One person in the audience would throw a bouquet of flowers in the colors of the flag of Malta Comino Gozo, which Siracauso would catch without missing a beat. She would keep it with her for the rest of the night.
As Siracauso would name off every country during the spoken word bit, the drag queen or drag king representing said nation would step forward and do a little dance. The flags of the various nations would continue to wave behind the performers, as the screens behind them displayed the partying delegations over at Campo A. There would be cheers in the audience as the names of the various performing countries would be called out, belonging presumably to the fans of each nation.
A giant curtain of sparks would cover the screens behind the performers, as fireworks would go off around the stadium. One giant firework would go off at the catwalk, with the drag queens and drag kinds emerging from the sparks. Sunny Siracauso would follow them, wearing a new outift - a stunning, glittery, purple and white dress. The audience's cheering would turn into applause as the performers from every nation tonight would arrive on stage, as the next song began to play.
Sunny Siracauso would slowly walk onto the catwalk, as the drag queens and kings behind her would join up with the various national delegations. As the drum beat would begin to play, the floating stage would lower itself again, with Siracauso jumping onto the stage - this time just by herself. The stage would park itself over the audience, as the national delegations and drag performers would fill in the space on the catwalk.
As the refrain would start, Siracauso would rip off the ballgown gloves she was wearing to reveal a spray of red rose petals, that would gently fall onto the audience, as they would cheer in response. As she was performing up on the floating stage, the main stage down below was a party.
Siracauso would rip off part of her dress to reveal another spray of rose petals, as she would continue getting into it song. Down below, one drag queen would get into the song too much and accidentally lose her wig, with her neon red wig soaring into the air before landing in the audience. Some poor sod lost a wig that night, while someone else got a free one.
The floating stage would slowly lower itself back onto the catwalk, as Siracauso would hop off it; she would join the party onstage, still singing and performing the song. By now, the red wig was being carried around the audience like a holy relic, while beach balls, balloons, and other bouncy round objects would be thrown around the stadium. In just 24 hours, the stadium went from an ordinary soccer field to a true party palace.
Siracauso would completely rip her dress off this time, revealing underneath a form fitting rainbow gown, complete with sparkles and glitter. Air cannons would shoot out giant bunches of rose petals and confetti, and it would fill the air within the stadium. As rose petals would fall around her, Siracauso would continue performing the song, giving her 100% for the viewing audience. A curtain of sparks would fall onto the stage at the back, as the floating stage would start turning and releasing sparks like a pinwheel firework. As the song would finish, one more giant pyrotechnic would go off, as the audience would leap to their feet, roaring with applause.
As the pyrotechnics and other effects would cease, all of the performers sans Siracauso would make their way back stage, to get ready to sing and to go back to Campo A. The lights would all fade out and the logo of the contest would appear on the screens behind Siracauso, as she would finally get ready to speak.
Sunny: Personas de todas las edades, razas, sexualidades, identidades de género y creencias religiosas, bienvenidos a nuestra ciudad, Phoda. People of all ages, races, sexualities, gender identities, and religious beliefs, welcome to our city, Phoda.
The home audience would cheer in response to the mention of the city.
Sunny: Thank you to the creative geniuses over at TRT and Felicette Co in their help in making this contest possible. And of course, we would be nowhere without you all.
The audience would cheer once more as Sunny would gesture towards them.
Sunny: We are back here in Phoda, Talvezout for the second time running. Last time we were here in Phoda, the theme was "Listen to the sound of our hearts," and we sure did. 34 nations competed in that contest, with Polkopia being the ultimate winner. Now, it's the first contest of the 2020s, so the theme is "Let's Get The Party Roaring", and I think you all certainly did. We have a wide variety of nations competing in this contest, but only one nation will win. So who will it be? We shall all find out soon.
She would repeat her words in Talvezian and Talfossian.
Sunny: Now, I imagine you are all bored by me talking, and I would be too. But alas, I still have some more I need to say. Here are the songs performing tonight. You may vote for them via telephone, or the official Worldvision Song Contest app. Remember, the voting procedure may vary based in your broadcaster - some may allow voting during the performances, some may allow it after. Please be aware of this, or your vote may not be counted. Now, we have over 90,000 crazy Worldvision fans crammed into this arena, 10,000 hanging out in the Worldvision Village, and an ungodly amount of people watching all across the multiverse. All of their eyes are trained upon the tiny little island nation of Talvezout, where we will see the multiverse's finest tonight. Everyone, are you ready?
The audience roars as Siracauso utters those last words.
Sunny: Let the 79th Worldvision Song Contest begin!
OPENING FILM: PHODA FOREVER
Composition by Illiana Hursh | Performed by the Phoda Philharmonic Orchestra | Directed by Youssef Boutros Ricardo
Music for this part of the opening act is 0:15 - 6:37 of the opening film for the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest.

OPENING SONG: LET'S GO
Composition by Sunny Siracauso | Performed by Sunny Siracauso
Music is "Vogue" by Madonna.

Tear it down
Tear it down
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Look around, see all the screaming people around
It's everywhere that you go (look around)
Can’t you see the people having a great time
There’s no rush, so why take things slow? (Take things slow)
Footage from Worldvision 48 would be playing on the screens behind Siracuso, with the audience cheering in response.

It’s been quite a while but we’re in Phoda
Do you remember Sharon and Nick E.?
We’re bringing it back to Phoda, baby
Worldvision 79 tonight
And you’re in for a fright:
As the refrain would kick in, Siracauso would be joined by two gorgeous dancers dressed in Roaring 20s garb - they arrived on the platform after parachuting into the stadium. They would perform alongside Siracauso on the floating stage, as down below the audience would be having a giant party. On stage, the drag queens would all be doing a runway routine, with each queen strutting their stuff on the catwalk that extended out into the audience.
So come on, let’s go
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, let’s go
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
Who cares about the world?
The floating stage would slowly fly back to the main stage, as the drag queens and kings would make space for the platform.

All that matters is just you tonight
You’ve worked hard, so you deserve it (You go baby)
Just let all your stresses go
Let the music take you somewhere unknown (Somewhere unknown)
It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're boy, nonbinary, or girl
This music's pumping, giving us new lives
Be your own superstar, yes, that's what you are, let’s do it
So come on, let’s go
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, let’s go
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
Who cares about the world?

One person in the audience would throw a bouquet of flowers in the colors of the flag of Malta Comino Gozo, which Siracauso would catch without missing a beat. She would keep it with her for the rest of the night.
The world’s what you make it
We all need to come together and save it
We all got that musical
So let’s make tonight extra beautiful
Let’s show them what we can do
Everyone, get up, and show them something new
So come on, let’s go
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, let’s go
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
Who cares about the world?
Look around, see all the screaming people around

Mister X, Latin realness
Tobu, Nekoni, and Indo
Izmedu with that emotional feeling
Here comes Malta Comino Gozo
Elejamie, Ethane, Kalosia
Wazekia’s finally back
Look who’s winning, Polkopia
Estogium, Skytrina, Hanvaria
Ertzei Kishim’s got energy
Beepee needs someone to love
Saint Bernard’s on Earth
There goes Vartugia
Scotatrova and Axuva
Achaean Republic es sabrosa
All these nations are finally here
Let’s all get crazy and fierce
A giant curtain of sparks would cover the screens behind the performers, as fireworks would go off around the stadium. One giant firework would go off at the catwalk, with the drag queens and drag kinds emerging from the sparks. Sunny Siracauso would follow them, wearing a new outift - a stunning, glittery, purple and white dress. The audience's cheering would turn into applause as the performers from every nation tonight would arrive on stage, as the next song began to play.
Let’s go, let’s go
Oh, so let’s go
Let your body move to the music
Oh, so let’s go
Let your body go with the flow
Oh, you've got to
Go
OPENING SONG 2: LET'S GET THE PARTY ROARING
Composition by Sunny Siracauso | Performed by Sunny Siracauso
Music is "So Emotional" by Whitney Houston.
Sunny Siracauso would slowly walk onto the catwalk, as the drag queens and kings behind her would join up with the various national delegations. As the drum beat would begin to play, the floating stage would lower itself again, with Siracauso jumping onto the stage - this time just by herself. The stage would park itself over the audience, as the national delegations and drag performers would fill in the space on the catwalk.
It’s been quite some time now
Welcome back home
31 contests have passed since you’ve been here
31 nations have won since that long ago year
And we’re back home here, baby
Doesn’t it just feel a lil scary, heh
Do y’all remember how Phoda is like
Things have changed but it’s all the same
And as we wait for the music to strike
Who’s gonna create some new fame?
Oh I remember the way that Polk won
And now the contest has just begun
As the refrain would start, Siracauso would rip off the ballgown gloves she was wearing to reveal a spray of red rose petals, that would gently fall onto the audience, as they would cheer in response. As she was performing up on the floating stage, the main stage down below was a party.
Let’s get the party roaring, baby
Hear the fans roar and scream
The party’s roaring, baby
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
We got so many nations here tonight
All across the world and beyond
All here to sing and fight
But only one song
Will win it all
Oh, who will win Worldvision 79?
No one knows, but we’ll see in time
Siracauso would rip off part of her dress to reveal another spray of rose petals, as she would continue getting into it song. Down below, one drag queen would get into the song too much and accidentally lose her wig, with her neon red wig soaring into the air before landing in the audience.

Let’s get the party roaring, baby
Hear the fans roar and scream
The party’s roaring, baby
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Let’s get the party roaring, baby
Hear the fans roar and scream
The party’s roaring, baby
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
The floating stage would slowly lower itself back onto the catwalk, as Siracauso would hop off it; she would join the party onstage, still singing and performing the song. By now, the red wig was being carried around the audience like a holy relic, while beach balls, balloons, and other bouncy round objects would be thrown around the stadium. In just 24 hours, the stadium went from an ordinary soccer field to a true party palace.
Oh, who will win Worldvision 79?
No one knows, but we’ll see in time
It’s time to get the party started
Ain’t it time to get it done
We’re all here tonight
So come on let’s have some fun!
Siracauso would completely rip her dress off this time, revealing underneath a form fitting rainbow gown, complete with sparkles and glitter. Air cannons would shoot out giant bunches of rose petals and confetti, and it would fill the air within the stadium. As rose petals would fall around her, Siracauso would continue performing the song, giving her 100% for the viewing audience.

So come on let’s have some fun!
Let’s get the party roaring, baby
Hear the fans roar and scream
The party’s roaring, baby
Ain’t it shocking what the world can do
Let’s get the party roaring, baby
Doesn’t it all feel brand new?
The party’s roaring, baby
Talvezout proudly welcomes you!
As the pyrotechnics and other effects would cease, all of the performers sans Siracauso would make their way back stage, to get ready to sing and to go back to Campo A. The lights would all fade out and the logo of the contest would appear on the screens behind Siracauso, as she would finally get ready to speak.
