Rejected Entries

It is of my belief that Azania and United Australasian Commonwealth is the same user but have not confirmed this. If they would still like to compete, the user must identify which nation is their main and which is their puppet below. Due to the rules of the World Hit Festival, it is absolutely essential that we know this information. Thus, their application has been rejected.

The Draft Thread is here - so get posting! There's 2 weeks until entries are final so get cracking.

One week before I close sign-ups.

A Hit For The World: It's James to Amiens for the 57th World Hit Festival!

Quicksand: The devilishly handsome James Benamar will have the weight of 62 million people on his shoulders as he represents Britonisea at the upcoming World Hit Festival...

S T R E A M...
JAMES BENAMAR - QUICKSAND

During A Hit For The World, it was announced that James Benamar, 29 years old from Alshkan, will represent Britonisea in Normandy & Picardy for the 57th World Hit Festival...

At the previous World Hit Festival in Todlichebujoku, Britonisea returned to the podium position for the first time since the 52nd World Hit Festival, coming 2nd - only a few points behind the winner and now the host of the 57th World Hit Festival, Normandy & Picardy. Speaking first at the live show of A Hit For The World, "There was a lot of hype for Alexandre Augustin, and I think the Britonish delegation honestly thought that Alexandre could win it all", explains Tom Stardust - the head of delegation for Britonisea at the World Hit Festival until the 60th edition. "We were the victors of the last orchestra title and we definitely wanted to keep the trophy, but Normandy & Picardy managed to snatch it from us - and they definitely deserved the win - no doubt about that! I think Alexandre was disappointed, though, but he knew - we all knew - that he did such a fantastic job - it was an honest song that won't be forgotten at the Festival, that's for sure." he continued. "We now had to think...where next for Britonisea? What type of entry did we want to send? I had a look back on the types of songs that we have recently sent to the World Hit Festival - ever since our last win, say, and really analysed - what has worked for us - and what hasn't? Okay, girl band might not have worked, shouty female ballad might've worked two WHF decades ago, the male duet, they were great too but didn't resonate. Bingo! I had to look a bit further back to realise that the Britonish rock scene is pretty fantastic." Many people in the audience raised an eyebrow at this statement, thinking about what this had to do with the upcoming World Hit Festival, but Tom would go on to reveal a lot more information, introducing the artist out to the stage, "When I think about the time we won the last orchestral edition and when we came 2nd at both the 38th and 49th World Hit Festivals...there definitely is a formula here. Britonisea LOVES this sort of stuff and I do too and I'd love to be the head of delegation for a song as fantastic as the one picked for the 57th World Hit Festival. The man that is representing Britonisea at the upcoming World Hit Festival is...James Benamar..."

James Benamar entered the small studio floor of A Hit For The World to the sound of cheering from a socially distant audience. He greeted the host and Tom Stardust before the host questioned him about his song "Quicksand" (which was displayed on this huge LED board between them - conveniently in the pixel dimensions of the above image. James spoke about his time living on the Brito-Estogian border - he has family from both countries with his family finding living on the border necessary to travel from one country to the next. James Benamar also spoke about watching the 49th World Hit Festival live when it took place in Alshkan and remembering the entry from Britonisea - Michael Turner - "Unguided" which inspired him to one day participate in the World Hit Festival himself. 8 editions later, he's doing just that. "I'm really happy I've been given the chance to represent my country. I love the song that I am sending, I wrote it with some pretty fantastic people and regardless of whether the song does well or not, I think I'll be happy with the fact that I even got to perform it in the first place! I'm looking forward to going to Normandy & Picardy!" James rejoiced.

James performed his song live in the audience, with the song receiving relatively good feedback so far from the Britonish public. The song as of 23:30 GMT has been released on all major platforms. We wish James a load of luck at the upcoming World Hit Festival in Normandy & Picardy!

Just to confirm, the Draft Thread is now CLOSED. We are delighted to welcome 20 other countries from around the multiverse to join us at the 57th World Hit Festival. The 21 competing countries will perform in the order below:

I hope to have the IC thread up and in serviceable form by this time tomorrow (GMT), and then slowly work on it over the rest of the week. More details on the listenalong(s) to come

Who are the MAGMA pre-qualifiers?

Last year, our pre-qualifiers in Sinun Valintasi: Starfall were all ethnic-oriented songs, from the various ethnic groups of Tödlichebujoku with songs in Volkiče, Nevetasso, and Sureedakeeri. One of these pre-qualifiers, "Alcas" by Rasiña, went on to win Starfall and represent the nation at the 80th WorldVision Song Contest in Marina Point, Nekoni, eventually placing 6th in a field of 26.

This time around, we are trying out a new composition of songs - two of the entries are still ethnic, but the third is one selected by the Tödlichebujoki public on the Starfall shard. In effect, this is a throwback to the earlier days of the Sinun Valintasi wildcard, two of which, "THIS BITCH IS A LIAR" by Annamaria Magdalena and the Fuckettes and "Talvezout" by Annulat, went on to win the event and enter WorldVision. Estegoa100's Lauluküselü, on the other hand, has yet to have a successful wildcard entry, and perhaps this time we may see one enter the World Hit Festival.

So let's go on and meet the MAGMA pre-qualifiers!

-

Llaunumo (Wickedness)
Aizino, Yauno M, Daina Balodis
Language: Nevetasso
Tune: J. Balvin, Jeon, Anitta - "Machika"

With Daina Balodis and Yauno M from Díva Osta, and Aizino from the nation of Balandas, "Llaunumo" brings a spicy Plataino beat to the Starfall festivities. As the successor to "Alcas" in terms of being the sole Nevetasso MAGMA pre-qualifier, "Llaunumo" has some big shoes to fill. Daina, of course, returns to Starfall after placing last in the final. Will she do better this time around?

Llaunumo llaunumo llaunumo
Noslíxtã vaino a greznumo
Pateiz man savas ístas vélmes,
Yo manas plauxas oz tavas astes

Tu deyoyi copá a banberiem
A banberiem
Tápés náz ciemos pe estachiem
A estachiem

Llaunumo, llaunumo
Llaunumo, llaunumo (La ta ta)
Llaunumo, llaunumo (Grécoyo)
Llaunumo, llaunumo (Ah ah ah)
Wickedness wickedness wickedness
We're drowning guilt with luxury
Tell me your true desires,
'Cause my hands are up on your rear

You danced with the angels
With the angels
So come visit the devils
With the devils

Wickedness wickedness
Wickedness wickedness
Wickedness wickedness (I sin)
Wickedness wickedness

Sredh Duhàv (Among The Spirits)
Ía Lêsovà
Language: Zirnscí
Tune: Oonagh - "Silmaril"

We welcome Ía Lêsovà, or Ía Of The Forests, a rising singer from the Zirnha region of Lagoa! The first appearance of Zirnscí in Sinun Valintasi, the language has represented Lagoa before in the World Hit Festival but Ía hopes to do much better than that result, and bring the imperiled language to the international stage.

Cajdi vàz'hod, cajdi zacat, s'cajduiu noçh sredh duhàv
Ia ne boiush, ia ne boiush, ia ne boiush temnotì
Mì lêtaiem, mì lêtaiem, mì lêtaiem sredh duhàv
I ne boímsha thmì

Poidhom
Poidhom
Poidhom sà mnoi

Poidhom
Poidhom
Poidhom s'nami
Every sunrise, every sunset, with every night among the spirits
I do not fear, I do not fear, I do not fear the darkness
We are flying, we are flying, we are flying among the spirits
And we do not fear the dark

Come
Come
Come with me

Come
Come
Come with us

"Achaea!".
Havaraki Káümálöissá
- WILDCARD -
Tune: PSY ft. CL - "DADDY"

Havaraki Káümálöissá, or Panic In The Toilets, scored their appearance in Starfall after winning a public poll on the Starfall crystallomatrix shard, to the delight of teenage trolls and sexual fiends across the nation. Their controversial song "Achaea!" is set to close the night, and literally no one has any real clue as to how they will do in the international voting.

Can't you dick me down?
Can't you dick me down?
Can't you dick me down?

Boy, where'd you catch that thotty from?
Where'd you catch that thotty from?
Where'd you catch that thotty from?

I caught it in Achaea!
I caught it in Achaea!
I caught it, caught it
Boy, where'd you catch that thotty from?
