Semi Final 1 - Semi Final 2 - Semi Final 3 - Battle Stage - Grand Final

Welcome to Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023, the eighth instalment of one of the biggest WorldVision and World Hit Festival National Finals. On this page, you will be able to find all of the IC content of each of the shows, including the results of them. You can also vote - regardless of whether you participate in WorldVision, World Hit or neither! We look forward to welcoming you to Alosable, Aronyk, Machievelihe, Zelmerlow, Burgendore.

THE FORMAT
Vha Mehlodhivestoile will continue in its usual structure with there being three semi-finals, a battle stage and a grand final. The first semi-final will happen on the 1st April 2023 with the grand final on the 6th May 2023. Each semi-final will consist of eight (8) artists, with the Britonish votes accounting for 50% of the overall total. This year, there will be eight (8) voting areas per Semi-Final, including the usual six televoting areas (North, Central, East, City, Capital and Aloquirbe). The seventh group will be a demoscopic jury made of 620 people representing the 62 million people in Britonisea who will watch the show's rehearsal the day before along with the final group - The Professionals. At the end of each show, the top two artists will qualify for the grand final in Burgendore (six overall) with third and fourth place qualifying for the battle stage which will take place in Zelmerlow. Aenglide, Kalosia and Llalta will judge the battles.

10 acts will make it to the Grand Final, similar to 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022 - 6 direct qualifiers, 3 from the battle stage and TOULOUSE - who received the right to come back after Charlotte's Party decided not to return to Vha Mehlodhivestoile. For the Grand Final, international juries will vote in the Worldvision point system [12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] and will be joined by a Britonish Jury. Around 33% of the final vote will be from the Britonish televote. Regardless of the number of international juries, the Britonish televote will give no less than 348 points. A minute after the recap, voting lines will freeze with the results of the international jury being announced one by one. The lines will be reopened during an interval act and then closed again. Britonish nationals who vote via the app will be allowed to receive all their votes allocated to them again. The winner will be chosen using a combination of the International Jury and Britonish Televote.

The number of participants in Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023 will be 25.

OOC: Users can only vote ONCE in each round of Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023. A maximum of eight nations can vote in each Semi-Final (and thus Semi-Finals results can be released earlier than scheduled). In the case of seven nations vote, an Estogian jury will be used. If six nations vote, the demoscopic jury and the professionals points will not be used. Nations are able to reserve a voting spot, if they plan on voting within ~24 hours (and before the deadline) of their post.

BVC | Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023 | SF1 | Alosable

Postby Britonisea » Sat Apr 01, 2023 5:00 pm

It's that time of the year again - the most popular national final on the WorldVision and World Hit Festival circuit is returning for another spin! 2023 marks the eighth year of Vha Mehlodhivestoile and BVC and BITC are once again working together to find the next number one hit. Vha Mehlodhivestoile is starting in April this year and ending in May which is quite late for the contest though this is because of Britonisea's recent win at the World Hit Festival with the Festival ending on the 25th March, the weekend before the Festival. The broadcaster have, of course, been in a frenzy with the entertainment team being spread very thinly between the two contests. It's meant delays in music and artist reveals, but it hasn't pushed back the start date of Vha Mehlodhivestoile which, according to BVC needed to go ahead. Last year, the 2022 edition saw Petre Lemetre win Vha Mehlodhivestoile on his sixth attempt at representing his country at the WorldVision Song Contest. Petre has always been a favourite to one day represent Britonisea but he was never internally picked which, rumour has it, is down to him wanting to represent the country through selection rather than just being handed the opportunity. In 2022, he finally struck gold with his song "Disillusioned". He was the final Semi-Final performance (8th in Semi-Final 3), and won his semi without a problem. He had stiff competition in the Grand Final with World Hit Festival winner, Josh Morris (who won with his Vha Mehlodhivestoile song he sent in 2021). In the end, only two points separated Petre and Josh - 147 points to 145 points. Josh Morris managed great success with his song amassing 299 points at the 100th WorldVision Song Contest in Kalosia, but an edition before that Petre won the 99th contest with 259 points. "Disillusioned" alongside Josh Morris' track stayed in the top 10 for months afterwards, with both tracks still appearing in the Britonish Top 50 even to this day. However, as the 2023 edition begins, hype is starting to build especially due to BVC not being as transparent as they usually are about those involved in the show and the songs. Luckily for Semi-Final 1, the artists were revealed quite some time ago and so they've gotten quite a bit of exposure.

Vha Mehlodhivestoile's formula returned back to the 2018-20 method last edition which seemed to have also returned success. Thus, in 2023 there will be 25 songs - 8 songs per semifinal plus an extra song from returning act TOULOUSE. The top two acts in each Semi-Final will go to the final directly while the third and fourth place will go to the Battle Stage in Zelmerlow in the East of the country but first - Semi-Final 1. For the first time ever, a Semi-Final is being held in Aloquirbe but it won't be the first time Aloquirbe is hosting Vha Mehlodhivestoile with Aloquirbe City hosting the final in 2020. Alosable in the west of the country will be in charge of hosting this time inside the Alosable Convention Centre which tonight will be home to 7,800 people. As the clocks hit 20:00, the official theme tune for Vha Mehlodhivestoile began marking the start of Britonisea's biggest show. Will Britonisea find the right star for WorldVision and World Hit victory this edition?

Image

As the theme tune stopped, Alyssia’s song started to play. The VM audience cheered for Alyssia as she made her way to the stage to sing her song. This version of the song was quite different to the World Hit Festival version, with this one sounded a lot more like a live instrumental version. As you could hear "She's a supergirl" being sung all echoic in the background - you could see Alyssia standing on the stage in a silhouette. The camera slowly beckons towards her before she turns her head to face the front of the stage, greeted by an almighty roar from the home audience. She smiled before beginning to sing the song...

Fighter, a warrior - no lying woah-oh
The best, no girl like don't deny it
There's no stopping her,
She'll restore justice to this world.
Bring peace to the people,
She thinks it's her duty, it's thankless
She's there for all, whenever - a heroine


While she started on the stage by herself, by the time she moved to the line, "There's no stopping her", men and women dancers filled the stage wearing tight black leather, similar to her World Hit Festival performance. In contrast, Alyssia herself was wearing a lovely satin dark outfit that wasn't as tight fitting but it still looked absolutely fabulous on her. They all bent their knees and slowly made their way down, leaving a standing Alyssia. Alyssia flashed a smile before moving on to the chorus of the song. When singing the line, "Through the storm, she will rise" the staging LEDs turned grey with dark scary clouds appearing - flashing lights accompanying this also.

Through the storm, she will rise;
She’s not afraid of the plight,
Like a queen, she’ll be victorious,
A magnificent sight, a defender of all,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.

Watch her fly, look at her,
A beacon of the new world.
It’s her thing, it’s so effortless,
And you can’t stand in her way,
In a league of her own,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.


The flashing lights and dark ambience continued through the first half of the chorus though by the time Alyssia repeated the words, "She's a supergirl, a supergirl" - the stage turned white, with the screen also turning this colour. When the white faded away, the colours used on the stage were red and gold, striped along the surface of the LED. Alyssia was standing in front of the red which showed her dark outfit quite well as she put her hands over her eyebrows as she sang "Watch her fly, look at her". Alyssia then reached the end of the chorus before turning dramatically to the left of the stage with a camera catching that moment alongside her dancers. They all made a pose, standing as if they were in a statue. The camera slowly moved around them as Alyssia followed them with her eyes.

Starstruck - so beautiful, I'm speechless oh-oh
Seamless, she does her thing - no weakness
There's no stopping her,
She'll restore justice to this world.
Bring peace to the people,
She thinks it's her duty, it's thankless
She's there for all, whenever - a heroine


There was the use of a little dry ice on the stage as we moved into the next verse with colder colours starting to be used on the stage. She was alone on the stage again until the pre-chorus when one of the male dancers came on to dance with her alone. By the time it was the chorus, all dancers returned to the stage to do a similar dance to what they had done in the previous chorus.

Through the storm, she will rise;
She’s not afraid of the plight,
Like a queen, she’ll be victorious,
A magnificent sight, a defender of all,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.

Watch her fly, look at her,
A beacon of the new world.
It’s her thing, it’s so effortless,
And you can’t stand in her way,
In a league of her own,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.

Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
Supergirl
Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
Supergirl
Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.


Another chorus came and went, with Alyssia and her dancers doing dance moves with Alyssia mostly standing in the middle of the stage. While there weren't any thunderstorm themes in the second chorus, the lights were still flashing with the red/gold vibe still present. As she moved on to the hook, the fan machines turned on with her and the dancers doing a dance move in synchronisation with one another.

A diamond in the rough,
And she’s so hard not to love.
She’s the chosen one, with reason.
Like a queen, she’ll be victorious,
A magnificent sight, a defender of all,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.

Watch her fly, look at her,
A beacon of the new world.
It’s her thing, it’s so effortless,
And you can’t stand in her way,
In a league of her own,
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.

Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
Supergirl
Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
Supergirl
Su-su-su-super, su-su-su-super
She’s a supergirl, a supergirl.


Her dancers and Alyssia danced along with the beat of the music, especially right at the end when they were freely dancing. The camera shots were going in and out and all around with pyrotechnics shooting into the air at the end of the song. There was then huge applause for Alyssia. All of her dances rushed around her and gave her a huge hug before she shouted "Thank you Britonisea!!!" to everyone. It was time to move on to the next act.




This year, similarly to last year, there will be three hosts who will be the face of the contest. First up is Matt Evans who comes walking out when he can hear his name. Matt has already hosted 2 editions of Vha Mehlodhivestoile and so this will be his third. Matt was a huge favourite when he first hosted back in 2021 which has made him one of the first to be confirmed for this year and Matt will likely become a regular host of Vha Mehlodhivestoile is the competition continues. In addition Josh Martense will be debuting as the host of the show. People know Josh Martense from being a television presenter but that international community may know him from his stint as World Hit Festival host when Burgendore welcomed fans for the 53rd edition.

Image


Matt Evans: Bienvenue,everyone! Wilkom and welcome to the eighth edition of our hit show, Vha Mehlodhivestoile - it is so fantastic to be back here! I am Matt Evans…

Matt received a huge applause before we could see an establishing shot of the whole arena. There was over 7000 people here tonight and the convention centre’s layout made it seem like quite a large audience.

Matt Evans: And this year I am joined by two - NEW - wonderful Vha Mehlodhivestoile hosts, Lena Hayhurst and Josh Martense - welcome to the family guys!

As Matt said their names, Lena and Josh - who were on either side of Evans - came in and gave Matt a side hug. The audience applauded before they continued.

Josh Martense: It’s honestly so great to be here!

Lena Hayhurst: All those months of practising comes down to this moment, I am here at the first semi-final with all you wonderful people in the audience!

Matt Evans: And don’t forget our television audience - it’s expect millions of you guys are watching currently. Thank you for tuning in and I surely hope that this year’s contest will give you a whole load of joy. Say, Josh, this isn’t your first hosting gig though is it?

Josh Martense: No, it isn’t! I hosted the 53rd World Hit Festival in Bovingdon! But that was during COVID so the audience wasn’t as big as it was here!

Matt Evans: And to think, this is only HALF of what it will be when we head to the finals in Biurgendore!

Lena Hayhurst: But it is really good to be starting off in Aloquirbe - I mean this is only the second time ever that the country has hosted - it’s quite amazing really!

Matt Evans: Of course, Aloquirbe is part of the family!

The Aloquirbic audience cheered at those comments. Aloquirbe has been quite an autonomous region in Britonisea and has often be left out.

Lena Hayhurst: The last time we were in Aloquirbe was two years ago when, in 2021, Aloquirbe City Stadium hosted the Grand Final and we saw the amazing Aaliyah Banques follow in her sister’s footsteps to win Vha Mehlodhivestoile. How awesome is that?

Josh Martense: A truly legendary moment. That contest also gave us some great names, including Josh Morris - fabulous name - who sent the song “Mine” - he went on to win the World Hit Festival with that song.

Lena Hayhurst: We will be seeing Josh a little later tonight!

There is a camera that pans to Josh Morris who is waiting in the Greenroom. He gives a cheeky wave before the camera then cuts back to the hosts.

Matt Evans: So let’s get this show on the road, shall we? The votes for tonight’s show is going to open very soon. Unlike previous years, the songs were only released this morning so for many of you, you’ll be hearing the songs for the first time tonight.

Josh Martense: As evidenced below (*a little star shows up on the screen*) a star will appear with the brightness of the star depending on how many people are voting for it at that time. If you’re voting on the app, you will have a total of 12 votes in total and you can use them all on one act or spread them across all acts. You can spend all those 12 votes now, during each performance or after you’ve watched all performances - please be wise though!

Lena Hayhurst: After closing the lines, we will then announce the two winners of this Semi-Final who will go directly to the final.

Matt Evans: For the Britonish half, the country is split into six different voting areas - Aloquirbe, East, North, City, Central and Capital - 75% of the Britonish vote. The 25% will then be made of a demoscopic jury and a Britonish jury of music professionals.

Lena Hayhurst: Exactly the same as last year! The top two songs will make it to the Grand Final in Burgendore, while 3rd and 4th place with go to Zelmerlow where Kalosia, Llalta and Aenglide will be voting for the best songs to go through to Burgendore’s Grand Final!

Matt Evans: Right! So we’ve done all the speaking. It’s time to open the voting.

Josh Martense: Let’s do it together…

ALL: START VOTING NOW!

01 Vhe Qi
Leave Me Alone
Music: Vhe Qi, Tom Stardust, Rick Martinez
Lyrics: Vhe Qi, Jerome Daniels-Harrison

Cipher Sight - Icons Crown
(01:19 - 01:42)
You’re always here, always there
Following me wherever I go.
No, I want nothing from you,
Why can’t you leave me alone?

You’re always here, always there
Lurking around, you don’t make a sound
Then out of nowhere, you strike and I’m trapped.
I know you live off seeing me in pain.
Image
02 Amarae Levy
Losing My Head
Music: Christophe Bleu, Moses Levy, Grant Phillips
Lyrics: Jessica Barrington, Lisa Bishops

Mimi Webb - Red Flags
(00:35 - 01:06)
Got me so crazy, I'm losing my head,
I guess what they say about you is true -
You play with girls and then mess up their heads,
Promise the world then leave them on read,
I caught you out, it's now time to stop

I know you like the chase,
Every time I push away, you pull me back in…you
Got me so crazy, I'm losing my head
"No more you and I", that's what I said
I'm losing my head

Rodesiro teist, oh teist on ma brat
Met teiston ken, oh seule ken ine reve...

(We’re so close yet we’re too far
I need you, oh you in my arms.
But you are just, only just a dream...)
Image
04 Mya Richardson
Trust Me
Music: Robert Pullman, Ronald Smith-Younges
Lyrics: Mya Richardson

P!NK - TRUSTFALL
(00:56 - 01:26)
Take the leap, let’s go away
We can laugh and love - forget our lives
That we once had, honey,
Come on, trust me baby.

We have got our lives ahead of us
You and I together, I can’t wait
Come on, trust me baby
Come on, trust me baby

Music: Riko Benzos, Rodrigo Amar, Rodrigo Babel
Lyrics: Martina Hacer, Rodrigo Babel

Pablo Alborán, María Becerra - Amigos
(00:43- 01:10)
Y solo si estamos juntos,
Me siento completo, the whole world - it’s stops
Sé que puedes sentirlo también
No podemos negar nuestros amor,
It’s been sent from above.
Ahora que estás aquí, estoy contento

Oh solo si estamos juntos,
I only have eyes for you,
¿no puedes sentir mi corazón latiendo?
Eres un ángel aquí para sálvame de mí mismo
Ahora que estás aquí, estoy contento

(And only when we’re together,
I feel complete, the whole world - it stops
I know you can feel it too,
There’s no denying our love,
It’s been sent from above.
Now that you’re here, I feel happy

Oh only when we’re together,
I only have eyes for you
Can’t you feel my heart beating?
You’re an angel,
Here to save me from myself
Now that you’re here, I feel happy)

Lyrics: Esther Winterbourne

Hiroyuki Sawano - Destiny
(00:33 - 00:53)
Fire and rain, fire and pain
You & I, one in the same
Made from the same bright stars
Fire and rain, lost astray

Following the burning bush, guide me to my own kind
I don't know what the future holds
But I won’t know ‘til I start the fire
Everything that I’ve grown to love
Burn me until I am born again
Image
07 Jordan Samuels
Miss You
Music: Mark Walling, Samantha Parkson
Lyrics: Liam Narain, Jordan Samuels

SAM RYDER - OK
(01:06 - 01:36)
I’m shouting loud hoping someone
Will hear me cry for help,
Because I’ve been through nothing but hell,
I can’t go on.

Without you, I’m a mess
I’m grieving,
Without you I’m depressed
My heart's filled with emptiness
I can’t stress, I miss you
Image
08 Leyla Bellisario
Don't Stop
Music: DRAKOS, T:Rodden, Kyle Baker
Lyrics: Rosie Parker, Kristiana Totem

Evangelia - Aphrodite
(00:34 - 01:04)
Baby, you and me - only, give me your body,
Be brave and go in deep.
Make me scream "Don't stop, don't stop no"
Come and feel the heat, allow yourself a treat,
Plenty of fruit to eat.

Make me scream
"Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop no"
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Make me scream
"Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop no"

Lena Hayhurst: Now I am sure that all of you at home are dying to find out who the qualifiers for the first semi-final of Vha Mehlodhivestoile are!

Josh Martense: It's been a very, very....very long...wait but we are finally at that point where we look to our Executive Producer, Claudia Anne-Davies and she will be able to tell us whether we have a result!

Matt Evans: Oh yes, the wonderful Claudia! Hello there, how have you been - I haven't seen you in a year! You haven't been returning my calls!


Image
Executive Producer of Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023: Claudia returns as the executive producer after taking over the last edition. She managed to make Vha Mehlodhivestoile a winning national final again after VM2021.


Claudia Anne-Davies: I blocked you straight after last year, Matt! Haha, I'm just kidding, I saw you this morning or did you forget?!

Josh Martense: Oi, oi Matty!

Matt Evans: Oh calm down Josh! You're so silly!

Josh Martense: So that's what you meant by breakfast in bed!

Matt Evans: More action that you Josh, mind you!

Lena Hayhurst: Claudia! Sorry for these little boys, squabbling...let us real adults speak! How have you liked the contest so far?

Claudia Anne-Davies: Hahaha! It's been fantastic, Semi-Final 1 has been amazing and I can't wait for the rest of the show!

Matt Evans: So right, it's time. Do we have a result?

Claudia Anne-Davies: We absolutely do. Six nations voted in this semi-final which is actually the smallest since 2017! But the nations that have voted included Todlichebujoku, Natanya, StrayaRoos, Besen, Llalta and Aenglide. Fantastic set of nations.

Claudia Anne-Davies: I've sent you the results! Good luck revealing them!

Lena Hayhurst: A grand total of 1.42 million unique voters voted in this semi-final, with a total of 10.64 million votes counted. - thank you very much to all of you who took the time to vote. It's now time to find out how you voted.

Matt Evans: These votes have been mixed with the international juries. The demoscopic and Britonish jury votes have been omitted so you have had a 50% say. Right...okay Alosable, are you ready?!

The audience cheers in excitement as the lights went dark in the room as well as music.
Josh Martense: We are going to announce the first qualifier to the final, in random order, then the two battle stagers before the final qualifier.

Lena Hayhurst: The first qualifier directly to the final is...

Music: Riko Benzos, Rodrigo Amar, Rodrigo Babel
Lyrics: Martina Hacer, Rodrigo Babel

Pablo Alborán, María Becerra - Amigos
(00:43- 01:10)
Y solo si estamos juntos,
Me siento completo, the whole world - it’s stops
Sé que puedes sentirlo también
No podemos negar nuestros amor,
It’s been sent from above.
Ahora que estás aquí, estoy contento

Oh solo si estamos juntos,
I only have eyes for you,
¿no puedes sentir mi corazón latiendo?
Eres un ángel aquí para sálvame de mí mismo
Ahora que estás aquí, estoy contento

(And only when we’re together,
I feel complete, the whole world - it stops
I know you can feel it too,
There’s no denying our love,
It’s been sent from above.
Now that you’re here, I feel happy

Oh only when we’re together,
I only have eyes for you
Can’t you feel my heart beating?
You’re an angel,
Here to save me from myself
Now that you’re here, I feel happy)

BVC | Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023 | SF2 | Aronyk

Postby Britonisea » Thu Apr 13, 2023 3:00 pm

Image

Last week’s Vha Mehlodhivestoile saw a total of 9.97 million tune into watch the first semi-final. As far as raw figures go, it marked the first time that Vha Mehlodhivestoile had received less than 10 million views for the series premiere but in terms of percentages - it was about average with more than 43.7% of viewers watching the contest. It saw Leyla Bellisario and the pair Martina Hacer + Rodrigo Babel qualify directly to the Grand Final. It was a huge success for Martina in particular who has now managed to qualify directly to the final for the second time in a row. It marks the second time a song in Spanish makes it to the Grand Final (not counting Martina’s previous hit song “Bailando” that only had that word in Spanish). The night saw Jordan Samuels and Esther Winterbourne go to the battle stage while the WHF56 winner, Vhe Qi staying in the semi-final. This week sees an almost completely debutant lineup for Vha Mehlodhivestoile except for Ella Lockwood who is looking for vengeance after missing out last time from qualifying directly to the final. She is the favourite to qualify according to the Press Poll.

This week we are in Arena Aronyk - the host arena for the 60th World Hit Festival which has widely been labelled as Britonisea’s best hosting of the Festival. Aronyk is electric tonight with 10 thousand fans packed into the arena ready for an amazing show. The theme tune for Vha Mehlodhivestoile started at 20:00 sharp today, with the show commencing pretty quickly. It was time for the winners of the 68th World Hit Festival to make their way onto the Vha Mehlodhivestoile stage.



Image


The winning song of WHF68 started playing as the ident faded to black. As the music began, very fiery tones were shown through the colours on the stage. ELLA herself was wearing a black asymmetric dress, which was made into a rose that sat on her shoulder. The cyclorama had half of an orange spotlight on it so that from afar you could see a semi-circle. A gentle breeze was hitting ELLA's face as the woman stood almost expressionless down the lens of the camera. The audience cheered but simmered down before ELLA moved the microphone to her mouth and started singing her song...

Intoxicating

Miss you when you’re not near me,
Thinking ‘bout you, it’s daily.
Oh I, can’t get you out of mind
It’s the way you the look at me,
My thoughts, so bad, they run free
Oh I, can get ahead of myself

This feeling feels just like a curse,
It feels like it’s never-ending,
I wish that I could run away.


The camera shot did stay still for quite some time we moved to the chorus of the song, with a much wider shot now being used, with two other people appearing on the stage - wearing similar clothing to her. A male on one side of her and a female on the other side, they were both dancing in a semi-dramatic way, but in a way that fits with the theme of the song. Her body, which before this was slightly turned away from the front of the audience, was now front on, as she slightly sways from left to right along with the soft beat of the song. ELLA sang, almost whispering each syllable out of her mouth - sung with such delicacy, with a slight sexual undertone in the way she said every word.

But you’re right there,
Wherever I go, you always appear.
Your voice -
Echoes lustrous thorns deep into my mind.
Ingrained in my thoughts,
Poisoned by your perfect smile,
And it's been like this for a while,
The idea of you is intoxicating.

The thought is intoxicating
The thought is intoxicating


As we moved on to the final lines of the chorus where the vocal parts come in, the camera panned out and backwards, showing the cyclorama and how a large cluster of people seemed to be showing in orange behind her. Plumes of fire shot into the air from either side of the catwalk, with the audience members screaming in delight. ELLA let out a gentle smile as she repeated the last line of the chorus along with the chorus. At the other end of the catwalk, a handsome tall Aaron Ward, looking deep into her eyes. The camera slowly zoomed in on his face, with the fire gently showing in the background. Aaron was also wearing dark colours too, which worked well with the red and orange that was present on the stage.

You think you make me stronger,
But I’m losing myself each time we speak.
(Looking at you makes me weak)
Drowning in the sheer irony,
Gasping for breath - it’s killing me,
And I - can’t take anymore pain.


While the camera was trained on Aaron, ELLA walked her way over to Aaron so that by the time Aaron reached the line, "And I- can't take any more pain", ELLA was also in shot too. There was a shot which moved from one end of the arena to the other end, from the furthest point, with a singular orange spotlight on ELLA and Aaron, the pair of them holding each other's hand - by a couple of fingers, it didn't seem like a convincing embrace whatsoever. As they move onto the pre-chorus and thus the chorus of the song, ELLA moved around Aaron, holding her hand on the top of his shoulders. Aaron pivoted around in the opposite direction so that by the time ELLA moved around his body, she was standing in front of him to the side. In the background, the cyclorama showed pulsating orange flashing while the lights at the back of the stage were flashing white strobe lights all around the stage.

This feeling, feels just like a curse,
It feels like it’s never-ending,
I wish that I could run away.

But you’re right there,
Wherever I go, you always appear.
Your voice -
Echoes lustrous thorns deep into my mind.
Ingrained in my thoughts,
Poisoned by your perfect smile,
And it's been like this for a while,
The idea of you is intoxicating.


As we move onto the second chorus, red and orange burst out onto the stage through the strobe lighting and cyclorama - mixed with beautiful white lights from all corners of the stage. As they went kept on repeating the lines of the song in the next section, the dancers returned on the stage where they started dancing rather maniacally, though there was some form of art to the way they were dancing - it looked organised. The lights flashed powerfully on them, behind the two main singers - with the cameras quickly zooming into the dancers as they moved around the stage cutting to ELLA and Aaron between the shots who had no walked away from one another (about a metre), but still facing each other.

The thought is intoxicating
The thought is intoxicating
(It’s toxic, it’s toxic)
The thought is intoxicating
The thought is intoxicating
(It’s toxic, it’s toxic)

Always right there,
Wherever I go, you always appear.
Your voice - echoes lustrous thorns deep into my mind.
Ingrained in my thoughts,
Poisoned by your perfect smile,
And it's been like this for a while,
The idea of you is intoxicating.


We then moved into the final bridge of the song which plunged the whole stage into darkness once again, with the backlights now gently twinkling alongside low-flying smoke that made the theme a lot different to before. It was dreamy, mesmerising. ELLA and Aaron were lit up in a white spotlight this time instead of orange. The pair of them started walking towards one another again with the cameras switching before the two singers before one central camera joined them in the middle, slowly moving with the pair of them until we reached the chorus once again. They dramatically turned around to red and orange themes on the stage, with fire shooting into the air once again. They both strutted towards the end of the catwalk, singing as they walked with power and sass.

The thought is intoxicating
(It’s toxic, It’s toxic)
The thought is intoxicating
(It’s toxic, It’s toxic)
The thought is intoxicating
(It’s toxic, It’s toxic)
The idea of you is intoxicating.


At the end of the song, they turned to one another, before Aaron fell to his knees, as ELLA placed her heels on his knees. The lights were turned off from their faces, so all you could see was their silhouettes as they were in powerful positions. At the end of this, the hosts came back onto the stage and started their introductions.

Lena Hayhurst: Wilkom! Welcome et bienvenue tous le monde to Vha Mehlodhivestoile's second semi-final here in the wonderful Arena Aronyk! I am Lena Hayhurst...

Josh Martense: I am Josh Martense...

Matt Evans: ...and I am Matt Evans and tonight we will be guiding you through the excellence that is Britonish music!

Josh Martense: You already had a taste of what is to come with that fantastic performance by ELLA and Aaron Ward there, who performed their World Hit Festival-winning track, "Intoxicating".

Lena Hayhurst: And you can see why it won! Such a good song! Thank you very much! Now speaking of World Hit Festival, this is the very arena which saw Normandy and Picardy win the 60th World Hit Festival actually - it is just as vibrant as it was back then.

Matt Evans: That was ages ago now, wow! It was a great edition though. Vha Mehlodhivestoile 2023 has a lot to live up to...

Josh Martense: Fear not, however, we have a star-studded lineup this edition!

The camera pans around to the Greenroom where the stars of tonight's shows give a big wave.

Josh Martense: I just can't wait! Last week we saw Leyla Bellisario and Martina + Rodrigo head directly to the Grand Final that's happening in May live from the awesome Burgendore. Meanwhile, Esther Winterbourne and Jordan Samuels will have to battle it out in the Battle Stage...scary!

Matt Evans: Very! It's time to start the T&Cs...let's go!

Lena Hayhurst: As evidenced below (*a little star shows up on the screen*) a star will appear with the brightness of the star depending on how many people are voting for it at that time. If you’re voting on the app, you will have a total of 12 votes in total and you can use them all on one act or spread them across all acts. You can spend all those 12 votes now, during each performance or after you’ve watched all performances - please be wise though!

Josh Martense: After closing the lines, we will then announce the two winners of this Semi-Final who will go directly to the final in Burgendore on the 6 May. Britonish votes make up 50% of the final score.

Lena Hayhurst: For the Britonish half, the country is split into six different voting areas - Aloquirbe, East, North, City, Central and Capital - 75% of the Britonish vote. The 25% will then be made of a demoscopic jury and a Britonish jury of music professionals.

Matt Evans: The top two songs will make it to the Grand Final in Burgendore joining Leyla Bellasario and Martina + Rodrigo, while 3rd and 4th place with go to Zelmerlow joining Esther Winterbourne and Jordan Samuels... where Kalosia, Llalta and Aenglide will be voting for the best songs to go through to Burgendore’s Grand Final! Now there's only one thing to say...

ALL: START VOTING NOW!

Matt Evans: You can vote via the Mehlodhivestoile 2023 app, or you can vote by calling 0141 2340 22 and the number of your preferred act. You can also vote by texting "WIN" to 623 22 and then the number of your preferred act. For example, if you wanted to vote for act 1, it's 0141 2340 2201. Calls cost 20p and texts cost 15p but that might vary based on your provider. Please ask the billpayer’s permission.

Lena Hayhurst: Each vote we get through text or phone call is equal to four app votes - which is free… Once you’ve run out of app votes, you can no longer vote - you get 12 app votes. You can vote a maximum of 12 times on text and 12 times on call. You don't have to vote as the acts perform and can wait until the end, but the star will react to live reactions - so it's up to you!

Josh Martense: Should we move on to the first song of the night!?

Lena Hayhurst: Performing first are Novel Lennox with their song "The Good Old Days" - a throwback hit! Let's see how they got on on their journey to Aronyk!

01 Novel Lennox
The Good Old Days
Music: Jacob Lennox, Reece Lennox, James Cavanaugh-Huges, Tion Bates
Lyrics: Jacob Lennox, Reece Lennox, James Cavanaugh-Huges, Tion Bates

Greta Van Fleet - Heat Above
A sea of robots, no love -
A town void of compassion.
Ooohh, ohhhhh

Neighbours gather ‘round,
Come out to the street as one.
Arms linked, hand in hand - together,
Just like the good old days.
Image
02 Axel Lindgren
Emptiness
Music: Daniel Lindgren, Honoka Ashimoto
Lyrics: Axel Lindgren

ZIAN - Old Again
I’ll never hear your voice again,
Your touch, your smile, your kiss - all of it, gone.

I’ve tried to move on, like you’d said,
I’m aching, my soul’s breaking
There’s nothing in my heart but emptiness
Image
03 Ella Lockwood
Hypnotised
Music: T:Rodden, James Embankment, Armas Partanen
Lyrics: Viktor Nelson, Fiona Cambridge-Hollyoaks

Rina Sawayama - Frankenstein
(Hide and seek) Looking for you high and low,
(Obsession) The cops are on red alert,
I don’t know what I’m capable of.

Tell me you want me, feed me lies.
Keep me on my toes, improvise.
Boy, you’ve got me hypnotised, hypnotised!
Crave your attention, it helps me thrive,
Drive me insane, fuel my demise
Boy, you’ve got me hypnotised, hypnotised!
Image
04 Martin Esposito
Evolve
Music: Jacob Fisher, Jayden Christopher, Jordan Otto
Lyrics: Justina Fruss, Nicoletta Nice

Agoney - Quiero Arder
The world becomes unwelcoming
When you are all alone.
When you don’t have someone to hold.
Though, you will rise above the storm,
A spark will fire your soul,
A flame that melts away the cold.

Evolve, Evolve
Evolve, Evolve

05 Rose Halifax
Mind Games
Music: Jason Oyerson
Lyrics: Rose Halifax

TAELA - Good In Bed
I know that you love mind games,
And the mixed messages.
‘Cuz one day you say you want me,
The next day you say you want me dead.

I hate that I still like you,
The one thing I regret.
Still clinging onto hope, still walking the tight-rope,
You’ve got me so confused by your mind games.
Image
06 GIRL4CE
Yummy
Music: Isabella Nixon, Olivia Hoxx, Charlotte Lister, Polly Hammonds, Rita Williamson
Lyrics: Isabella Nixon, Olivia Hoxx, Charlotte Lister, Georgina Willis

Hurricane – Zumi zimi zami
Don’t hold back, boy,
Tell me all your deepest, deepest desires.
Come on kiss me, taste me
Tell me that I am yummy yummy

Don’t hold back, boy
Day and night I know you think about me
I know that you’re hungry, open wide, yes!
‘Cuz I’m yummy yummy!
Image
07 Raph and Nathan
Lost Control
Music: Mark Walling, Christopher Gyçon, Martyn Luther
Lyrics: Jamie Banks, Raph & Nathan

Marcus and Martinus - Air
Everytime you’re near, I am entranced
Acting normal ‘round you - got no chance
My body has lost control - I like it, truth be told
I feel like I’m floating through the air
My body has lost control.

My body has lost control
Control, control, lost control
Image
08 UPRISING
Eternal Sins
Music: Abigail Kelley, William Blakely, Ziyad Reece, Soren Smith-Svenning
Lyrics: Abigail Kelley, William Blakely, Ziyad Reece, Soren Smith-Svenning

THE HARDKISS - Маяк
Those with power fear the uprising,
(They know we’re strong - we’re strong!)
You’ve ignored the plight of our land,
(Now you’ll pay, now you’ll pay)

Wield the knife with your eternal sins,
(Our wounds will heal, they’ll heal)
Try silencing with your rules,
(We will win, we will win!)
