STANDBY
Voting in The Grand Final has now closed.

[Britonisea]

After the seventeen nations voted in the Grand Final of Vha Mehlodhivestoile, the camera focused once again on the hosts. Cole Heiman let out a smile after that intense, and quite sexy ending. He was ready to speak again...

Cole Heiman: Thank you to all of the nations that voted. It was great to go around to all of your nations. Shall we take a look at that International Scoreboard after Phase One?

Mini Surrey North: Yes, we shall!

The International Vote: The International Juries and Televotes dictate that Kelsey Banques should win Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020. She currently has 74% of the total available points - but things can change with the Britonish Televotes.

Mini Surrey North: As you can see on the scoreboard, Kelsey Banques is leading at the moment with a total of 151 points. She is nearly 100 points in front of Petre Lemetre who has 54 points. Shards of Diamonds and Lucie Dagenham ft AY:KO are currently filling the 2nd and 3rd spaces but things could change. We have the Britonish points left to reveal, a total of 696 points still left to be given out. This is about to be very dramatic!

Cole Heiman: I think its time to say that THE BRITONISH VOTING LINES HAVE NOW CLOSED!!!

There was a huge roar in the arena as Britons can no longer vote. Who will win Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020? It's expected that over 24 nations are broadcasting the Grand Final tonight, with viewers all wondering the same question, "Will Kelsey Banques do it?"

Mini Surrey North: Please do not vote as your votes won't count, but you may still be charged! It's now time to calculate the final results but before we do that, let's have a performance...

Cole Heiman: Aloquirbe will be heading to the Junior World Hit Festival, and we thought that it'd be a good idea to invite them to perform on this very stage. So please welcome Vivi & Johanna!

JWHF7 | Aloquirbe
Vivi (14) & Johanna (16) - "Number One"

Language(s): English
Tune: Viki Gabor, Kayah - Ramię W Ramię
Lyrics: Vivi & Johanna
Music: Michael Sampson-Deans, William Norwood, Gale Forrest

Vivi & Johanna: They are hoping to take Aloquirbe straight to "Number One" as the nation returns to the Junior World Hit Festival after an absence.

After participating in the Junior World Hit Festival for the second time at the 5th edition of the Festival, Aloquirbe returns to the Festival with Vivi and Johanna who will sing their song "Number One" in a bid to win the contest. Due to BVC (Brityunik Vefecosoin Cairkovoin) having ownership of the participation of Britonisea and Aloquirbe, Aloquirbe never really gets a chance to participate in its own right except for the JWHF5 and JWHF7 where BVC withdrew due to staff changes. When Aloquirbe last participated, in Togonistan, the nation came 4th place after being a favourite expected to compete for the win. While Aloquirbe didn't get it, the country was very proud of Jared Zayne for achieving one of Aloquirbe's best results at an international song competition.

At the start of the song, the crowd roared as Aloquirbe's very own Vivi and Johanna stood together. The pair were wearing fancy outfits, multicoloured, with Vivi wearing clothing that had prominent sashes of pink and then Johanna wearing slapshes of yellow. Johanna was the one who started singing. The camera moved towards the pair.

D'ya see my face? Can you see I'm not bothered?
Try tear me down, oh boy yeah I'll just block you out
I haven't got no time to waste
Tell me what you want then get out my face
Whatever you say, it won't hurt
Tell me I'm a loser
Tell me I'm not worth it

The camera moved around them as the pair turned to the side to catch their cue. Vivi started singing this part coming up here. The colours in the back were vibrant like their costumes. They were interacting with the camera and the audience, singing to the camera when they were singing and to the audience when they weren't - but they weren't touching anyone due to a certain virus outbreak.

We're the winners, in our hearts, in our minds
Don't need no trophy, don't need the first place
Oh yeah we'll leave with our head held up high in style
We know we are the ones,
We are number one
We don't need to be told...

Got the memo? You're still here so I'm guessing,
That its a no, so let me tell you again
Whatever you wanna say, it won't
Hurt me, no you won't like you did before
So boy, come on, get of my face
Oh yeah

We're the winners, in our hearts, in our minds
Don't need no trophy, don't need the first place
Oh yeah we'll leave with our head held up high in style
We know we are the ones,
We are number one
We don't need to be told...
Lalalala
We are number one

We will not be defeated
You won't get into our minds
We're amazing, beautiful
We will fight until the end
Whatever happens, we know we're the ones

We're the winners, in our hearts, in our minds
Don't need no trophy, don't need the first place
Oh yeah we'll leave with our head held up high in style
We know we are the ones,
We are number one

Pyros shot into the air as the audience roared in ecstacy. Vivi and Johanna vibed from one another and the audience rooting for them...

We're the winners, in our hearts, in our minds
Don't need no trophy, don't need the first place
Oh yeah we'll leave with our head held up high in style
We know we are the ones,
We are number one
We don't need to be told...

Lalalala
We are number one
We are number one

At the end of the song, the audience cheered as the intense music came back once again. It was now time to find out who won our National Final...

The camera zooms over to the Executive Producer for Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020, Lewis Schmit, who is smiling, looking up as the camera meets him at the top of the arena. He sits amongst a panel of four others, with him being in the middle of them all. Lewis is holding a microphone to his face as he readies himself to start speaking by clearing his throat. This will be the last time that we go to Lewis to confirm that results are ready...

Lewis Schmit: Look at all those nations voting in our National Final! A grand total of 17 voted tonight which is absolutely amazing - it's our highest total ever and now including our Britonish votes, we definitely rival the WorldVision Song Contest in terms of "voters" haha!

Mini Surrey North: Brilliant! I am pleased to see how this national final has really grown since when I participated back in 2016. Do you have any statistics for us Lewis?

Lewis Schmit: Well a total of 12 Britonish Televote areas will be voting tonight. So we've got Ghiezland & Eaux, North, Junterapten, Quickenden, West Telm and East Telm, West and East Doportedas, West, Aloquirbe, East and Central where we are currently. We've decided to combine their votes and it'll be available on our website at the end of the show. Approximately 22 million votes have come through this year, from about 5 million different people watching tonight! The votes have been god-awfully close and I can't wait for you guys to reveal the votes!


Cole Heiman: Does this mean that the votes are ready for us, Lewis?

Lewis Schmit: Indeed they are! Take it away!

The audience throws a loud "oooo" sound as the camera turns back to Mini Surrey North and Cole Heiman who react to the scores that they had just received. The look at each other wide-eyed before looking back at the camera. This shows up on the screen as Mini Surrey North can be shown on the side.

Mini Surrey North: Okay! So what is going to happen now is that we are going to go in order of how the Jury voted. So this means we will start with the Juries' 12th place, "Higher", working our way up the scoreboard, announcing how many points each act received...

Cole Heiman: Yes, I will be the one conducting this as well. I cannot wait to see your faces! Right...are we all ready? It's time to cue to scary music...Petre...what did you receive?

The audience was silenced, it was time to find out who won the 5th Vha Mehlodhivestoile...and we are starting with Petre.

THE WINNER OF VHA MEHLODHIVESTOILE 2020
Kelsey Banques
"Indestructible"
Tune: Dotter - Bulletproof (Official Audio)

Necessary Information:
Composers: Aaliyah Banques, Martia Sampson, Delia Fox-Smith, Susanne Barker
Lyricists: Beatrice Williamson, Zara Holland
Duration: 03:06

Kelsey Banques, 20, along with Tobias, are the youngest solo acts of the night but that doesn't stop Kelsey from being one of the favourites to win Vha Mehlodhivestoile. For the past few years, Kelsey has made a name for herself in Britonisea which was certainly helped by her performance at Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2018 when she placed 3rd. She decided not to participate last year at Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2019 even though she had received the Automatic Grand Finalist card. Instead, she went on to represent Britonisea at the 66th WorldVision Song Contest in Telm City where she came 2nd place with 129 points behind eventual winners, Todlichebujoku. Kelsey Banques loved representing her country and never thought that her song, "Run" would touch as many people as it actually did. She felt as though she needed to come back to Vha Mehlodhivestoile as she believed that she had unfinished business with the National Final. Kelsey Banques qualified directly to the Grand Final for the 2nd time after performing eighth in the final Semi-Final. Ahead of the Grand Final, she stated that she was very nervous for the performance as she wanted it to go right and she wanted people to like the staging that she had improved since her Semi-Final performance. Kelsey Banques received 12 points from Izmedu, Scotatrova and Besen in the Semi-Final and with these nations voting in the Grand Final of Vha Mehlodhivestoile, will Kelsey stand "Indestructible" to her 11 other competitors?

"THANK YOU EVERYONE! THANK YOU WORLD!"

As soon as the song started, it was time for Kelsey to start singing. Kelsey was given the slot after the break to give the stage personnel more time to prepare the staging for her. She, similarly to the performance that had just gone from Justs, had quite an intricate stage too. Behind her was this curved wall which had hundred of misshapen pieces of glass stuck to it. Due to the dark staging, the curved wall wasn't visible but would be instrumental later on in the song. Kelsey stood centre stage in front of the curved wall wearing a suit which seemed to be only in one light colour. A projector shone images on her (similar to Estonia 2018/Wiktoria - Save Me) as she followed the camera with her eyes during the first verse. As we moved to the first chorus, Kelsey dipped her head forward at the sound of the drumbeat (a la Dotter) as her locks followed the motion of her hair. Kelsey moved her hair out of the way of her face by making a circular motion of her left hand over her head, tucking her hair to her left side over her shoulder. During the second verse, red lasers started pointing at her, making its way across her body, filling her suit up with red ink as though someone was colouring it. At the start of the second verse, she dipped her head once more as the lights suddenly turned white as she did this. When she stood back up, the lasers were pointed towards the misshapen glass wall behind her, as she took a step back into the curved wall. The lasers moved its way across her body and along the curved glass wall, creating a spectacular prism effect from afar. Lens blur on the cameras emphasised the lighting effect that was being used in Kelsey's performance, but the camera directions were rather calm compared to the two performances which sandwiched Kelsey's performance...

Lyrics from 01:49 to END:

I’m unbreakable, Indestructible (hoo-hoo)
Do your worst, try and tear me down at my strongest
I’ve climbed all hills and mountains,
I’ve reached the top on my own,
No one can tell me I can't cope alone.

I’m unbreakable, Indestructible (hoo-hoo)
I dare you, come and take me on if you are brave
I’ve swum through strong tsunamis
Reached the shore all in one piece
Whatever you have got planned, I am ready

Yes, sometimes I do feel lonely,
And feel like time's moving slowly.
There's one person I can trust,
And it's me, just me, I'm the only...person and
Never have I ever felt like...the whole world is on my side
I’ve reached the top all on my own,
No one can tell me I can't cope.

I’m unbreakable, Indestructible (hoo-hoo)
I dare you, come and take me on if you are brave
No longer do I feel pain,
I've been hurting all my life
The life I lead before's my sacrifice

I’m invincible, Indestructible (hoo-hoo)
Do your worst, try and tear me down at my strongest
I’ve climbed all hills and mountains,
I’ve reached the top on my own,
No one can tell me I can't cope alone.

Kelsey broke down on stage before she got to the final song as all members of the 2020 cast joined her on the stage, singing the last chorus with her. She is the winner of Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2020...

[Britonisea]
