Odds for VM2020 Revealed!

---

The hype for Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020, Britonisea's annual National Final, is mounting as the anticipated Betting Odds have been revealed for the first time...

In 2020, there are many acts that are returning to Vha Mehlodhivestoile in the hope to bag the increased cash prize £200,000 BPS and a ticket to an upcoming WorldVision Song Contest. They will have to not only rival the 2020 debuting acts, but they also have fierce competition from this who have been automatically qualified to the Battle Stage and the Grand Final which takes place in Alshkan on the 4th April.

The odds are an agreed average between Britonisea's biggest betting companies, which all the companies will be using ahead of the Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020 Grand Final. As said in the picture below, the odds are calculated using different methods (from company to company). This includes, but is not limited to, bets already placed (if more bets are placed for one act, the public believe that the act has more of a chance of winning), insider information regarding each of the acts and past performances at not only Vha Mehlodhivestoile but those who have already participated in the WorldVision and World Hit Festival competitions before.

Below you can find the list:

1. From this list, one of the most popular urban boy group, J3 tops the betting odds, with a lot of hype being surrounded with them. Without a doubt, J3 will not find it hard to receive points from the Britonish Televote, who despite having only 25% say in the Semi-Finals, make the crucial decisions on whether you make it through to the next round or not. J3 topped the Britonish Televote in their Semi-Final in 2017 and 2018, with many expecting them doing the same in 2020. Some superstitious folks will say that since 3 seems to be their lucky number, performing 3rd in Semi-Final 3 for their 3rd VM participation might bring them success this time around.
   
2. Second place is KAYLEY who rose to fame because of her 2018 Vha Mehlodhivestoile participation with the Britonish song, "Junterapten" which missed out on the opportunity to win VM2018 by a single point. KAYLEY is one of three former VM runner-ups participating at the 2020 Vha Mehlodhivestoile. KAYLEY is performing 8th in Semi-Final 1 which has a 100% Direct Finalist rate since 2017. KAYLEY looks to be in a good position to get herself into her second Grand Final.
   
3. Jun-iči Hoch & Ekkehard Liinamaa (Direct Finalist) are returning to Vha Mehlodhivestoile this year despite having representing Britonisea at the 74th WorldVision Song Contest, where the pair placed 2nd place with 113 points. While the song "On My Own" was not a hit with the Britonish fandom at the start (placing 5th at their Semi-Final), the song did gain popularity by the end, especially after the duo's stellar performance in Polkopia. Many did not expect either of them to return this year, but as they are, and still are fresh in the minds of VM watchers from last year, they round off the top 3 for most likely to win according to the Bookies.
   
4. Joint fourth placers are Etela Tomac (SF2, 1st) and Kelsey Banques (SF3, 8th), who came 2nd and 3rd in previous Vha Mehlodhivestoile's. Etela Tomac came 2nd at Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2017, behind the eventual winner Mehkl Maddox Ajax. Etela Tomac represented Britonisea at World Hit Festival where she came 2nd place and was the reason why Britonisea hosted in Junterapten the edition after. Etela was highly praised in Britonisea, with many fans being excited with what she has to offer this edition with her Izmeduan song. Kelsey Banques came 3rd in 2018 behind the tight Taron Woods/KAYLEY fight at the top. Kelsey went on to represent Britonisea with a different song at the 66th WorldVision Song Contest where she came 2nd place with 129 points - Britonisea's 3rd highest score ever. Kelsey is one of the most well-known singers in Britonisea and so she would definitely have a strong following behind her.
   
5. Others in the top 12 include Zoe Wilkinson, Petre Lemetre, Rigas Jengiz and Arvin Dalir - who have all qualified directly to the Grand Final in the past. Justs Prazeres and Lucie Dagenham both are debuting at Vha Mehlodhivestoile with both already having participated in WorldVision and World Hit Festival before. In the case of the 2016, 2017 and 2019 winners; Mini, Taron and Alyxhia, all acts were debuting despite already having represented Britonisea in the past - could history repeat itself? David Kiser is also in the mix at 15/1.
   
6. The highest qualifier to the Battle Stage is Pietro Quesada from Scotatrova, who's song is completely (reportedly) is completely in Scotatrovan.

Vha Mehlodhivestoile begins in only 11 days, with the first 10 songs being revealed on the 25th February 2020 - in less than a week's time.

It has already been confirmed that Achaean Republic, Axuva, Besen, Nightom and Estogium will all be broadcasting Vha Mehlodhivestoile with more international broadcasters expected to be revealed over the next week...

It's Millennia for Polkopia!

In yet another edition of the Landa vy Polkopiya, which has served as Polkopia's National Final for the Worldvision Song Contest for years now, the lines have finally closed and the results have gone live. Moments ago it was revealed that the group Millennia would represent their home nation, singing the song, Poison. Although Millennia finished joint-second place in the international jury vote, falling just behind the rock group, Siren, their scores in the domestic televote propelled them to first place and earned them the right to perform at Worldvision.

We thank all of the international broadcasters who took part in this edition of the Landa vy Polkopiya.

Language: English

I'm sad to announce that I'll be withdrawing from WV80. I find myself both busy and uninspired. Maybe next time!

After 1 edition of wv, Indo States will now withdraw again unless the nation final is finally reformatted in the new ways.

See you in the next edition.

THE BIG REVEAL: ESTOGIUMLEAK

---

Katt Albans sings "Children of the Millenium" for Estogium at WorldVision Song Contest 81?!

No news has recently been confirmed by RVC, the broadcaster for Estogium at the World Hit Festival. Though, ahead of the Big Reveal: Estogium (the televised 30-minute show on RVC1 which presents the WorldVision entry through live performance, an interview and live opinions) it seems as though an eagled-eye fan has spotted what seems to be the entry for Estogium at the WorldVision Song Contest that has been posted at 12 AM as of the 1st March 2020.

Katt Albans is the radio show host for RVC's main radio station who is the radio commentator for the WorldVision Song Contest in Estogium. Katt has said many times in the past that if she was given the opportunity, she'd represent Estogium in the WorldVision Song Contest. Composers also include Viktor Nelson, an Ekozian-Estoge who was behind the Britonish 54th WorldVision Song Contest entry "Jekyll and Hyde" which came 9th and Etela Tomac's "I Was Dancing With Stars". He also has an entry submitted to Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020.

Here is the proof below...



We cannot wait to hear the entry!

[Nekoni]

oh no

[Imperial Joseon]

No commentaries in this edition?

[Elejamie]

No commentaries in this edition?

I'm waiting until I get my entry finished (a week later than I said I would) and for more people to actually finish their entries (or get the finished lyrics posted at the very least) before I have Cerin and Flynn step in.

I'm sad to announce that I'll be withdrawing from WV80. I find myself both busy and uninspired. Maybe next time!

Shame to hear that but hopefully we'll see your guys in WV81.
