Worldvision Song Contest 39 [IC]

by **Todlichebujoku** » Tue May 26, 2015 11:05 am

Hello world, it's The Mirror: WorldVision Edition and I'm your host, Alvar Schwenke. Since our draw gave us a relatively early performance, we at The Mirror have been able to provide you with a special WorldVision edition where we compile the reactions of various commentators to our entry and review their own entries in that same- though possibly more extreme- light. Ready? Here we go.

Electrum - Change Me

A funny little entry, but you can tell they put some effort into the performance. Must have been interesting getting the choreography right.
Not sure how it'll do in Tödlichebujoku, but it's certainly unique and creative in a good way, lyrically and in terms of performance. I had my misgivings at first that it was too cheesy but after looking a bit more closely at it, I can see I was wrong.

Polkopia - Galobaya Ceri

I'm quite sure this has a similar message to "Sunlight", but when repackaged as a power ballad and sung in Polkopian, that message is almost enhanced. It may not have the artistic symbolism of "Sunlight", but you can definitely see both how Polkopia's experience in WorldVision shines through and how this song made it through Landa vy Polkopiya with flying colors. A strong contender for the top spots.

Dreamplanet - Come Back

Ooh, a porno soundtrack. Just what this contest needed. In fact, this entry would have been far more interesting if a porno played on the screen. I very nearly fell asleep from the singer walking around in circles and having nothing else happening anywhere.

Aloquirbe - Away, Away You Go!

A rather creepy singer and performance, though it just might work out for Aloquirbe. Certainly unique and could get a nice placing if the strangeness makes the entry memorable for the audience.

United Regions of Verona - Havoc

While I don't quite understand the theme of the song, it is certainly something I can get into. The music and catchiness are quite nice, and the support from the Veronans appears to be running at a fever pitch.

Normandy and Picardy - I Love You

Wow, this sounds like every single love song ever made. And it's not even original in its choice of words. Seriously, a child learning how to write from a book of nursery rhymes could do better than this. It doesn't help that, at certain points, the band members sound like they're on crack.
Also, I'm pretty sure the dancers are just there to distract us from this train wreck of an entry. A truly standout entry doesn't need the 20-some different dances that this entry used.

Mister X - I Want To Be With You

Aside from the pared-down performance and minisculely more modern sound, it's what Mister X always sends to WorldVision. I expect them to get what they usually get with it as well, either hanging out around 8th to 10th place or even down around 20th. Have we ever given them many points for this sort of thing? No, and I don't expect we will this time around, either.

San Llera - Walked Through The Ghetto

What are outside these concrete walls? A terrible world full of death, unrest, hatred, and sorrow. All of which are better than this entry.
No really, this song is promoting suicide in one of the most drab, boring packages imaginable. It's even more hopeless than the hopelessness the singer's describing.

Kasanova-Koratica - I LIKE PAIN

Sorry, I was a bit preoccupied with this piece of lint on my shirt. That entry was rather frenetic, I think. Never really liked that nation anyway, always a bit strange in the wrong ways.

Plaschea - Nebulae

A bit odd, but at the same time, oddly likeable. A nice upbeat tune and good lyrics go far, but will it be enough to be memorable? It might.

Plaschean Commentary (courtesy of TEP)
Your commentators: Ives Ottea

and Anvol Bou'wen

!

Ives: Hello, and welcome to our second ever broadcast edition of Worldvision, and our first with commentary!
Anvol: It's expected to be a very thrilling night ahead of us! I haven't a clue to who the winner will be.
Ives: Among our entries, we have.... nationalism, contemporary and even a cappella.
Anvol: A cappella? My goodness.
Ives: We'll just have to see. Oh, we're starting with the first entry! Yay!

38 - VETTRERA
REBECCA BURKE - CALL ON ME
MELODY

Rebecca Burke walks out wearing a black leotard. As she walks onto the stage, only her black silhouette can be viewed, as no lights are placed onto her. White lights however can be seen illuminating the floor. As she begins singing, fog begins to be present on the floor, and reaches about half a foot in height.

You won’t be alone; I’m always by your side.
Things may get hard and may get heavy, I’ll still be on that ride.
There’s nothing that could ever keep me away from you, keep me away from you.

After singing the first stanza, the lights now are focused on Rebecca, so she can actually be seen. She proceeds through the stanza, with the fog slowly dissipating from the stage near the end of the stanza

Though the storm clouds come rollin’, and the blue skies turn gray
Though your heart may grow heavy, and you struggle through the day
There’s nothing that could ever keep me away from you, keep me away from you.

Through the use of a weather machine, clouds begin to form above the head of Rebecca while the screen behind her shows rain falling.

'Cause when the rain pours down
And the lightning strikes whenever you may turn around
And the thunder’s roar takes over every single sound,
You always can call on me.

The cloud then dissipates quickly, and Rebecca begins singing again. At this point, a visual is depicted on the floor of the stage that gives the illusion of rain puddles.

So when your spirit’s low
When you struggle against life’s ocean’s constant ebb and flow
When you can’t maintain yourself against the undertow.
You always can call on me.

I never was one for speaking, I couldn’t find the words
But you still knew how I felt babe, my heart still could be heard
There’s nothing that could ever keep me away from you, keep me away from you.

The fog once again comes onto the stage again as Rebecca sings this portion of the song.

You still tried to push me away, and hide me from the scene
But then you realize that you need me, like flowers to a bee.
There’s nobody that could ever love you like me, that could love you like me

The clouds now also appear above her again. Rebecca continues singing, but this time the fog does not go away.

'Cause when the rain pours down
And the lightning strikes whenever you may turn around
And the thunder’s roar takes over every single sound,
You always can call on me.

The fog continues to rise so that it covers half of Rebecca's body, at this point only from her torso-above is visual.

So when your spirit’s low
When you struggle against life’s ocean’s common ebb and flow
When you can’t maintain yourself against the undertow.
You always can call on me.

You always
Babe you always can
You always can call on me!

The fog once again rises so that Rebecca's entire body is engulfed and cannot be seen.

'Cause when the rain pours down
And the lightning strikes whenever you may turn around
And the thunder’s roar takes over every single sound,
You always can call on me.

The weather machine produces a large gust of wind that quickly removes the fog and the artificial cloud from the stage.

So when your spirit’s low
When you struggle against life’s ocean’s constant ebb and flow
When you can’t maintain yourself against the undertow
You always can call on me.

Rebecca, with the help of no special effects, then delivers the final stanza of the song.

You’re never alone; I’m always by your side.
Though the floodwaters may rise, I’ll still be by your side.
There’s nothing that could ever keep me away from you, keep me away from you.

THANK YOU WORLDVISION!

Worldvision 39 commentary, brought to you by the PNB, the Polkopian National Broadcaster

Viktor: "Good evening world, my name is Viktor Khassanov, and I'm here today with the lovely Anna Petravona and we're here to bring you the Polkopian commentary for the Worldvision Song Contest."

Anna: "Yep. We're in Titaniumland I guess, because they won the bid, so that's interesting. I think it's their first time hosting? I don't know honestly, but good luck to them. Hosting can become quite a pain, and quite thankless at that. I remember when we hosted last time, I-"

Viktor: "Alright Anna, that's quite enough. Besides, the opening act is about to start. Can't have you interrupting the contest, now can we? Now, here it is - the opening act of the thirty ninth Worldvision Song Contest."

00 - Opening Act

Viktor: "I don't mind the song at all, but... why? Why was she chosen to be the opening act?"

Anna: "What do you mean? It was decent. Short, yes, but overall decent."

Viktor: "But, like, she didn't even win six editions ago. She didn't even score that well either. She even placed below Gregoryisgodistan for some reason."

Anna: "But the Polkopian audience might like it. I believe we gave it two points that edition, if I'm not mistaken?"

Viktor: "Yeah, well, I don't get it, and I don't think I ever will. Now then, let's move on to the actual contest. Song number one - Free Republics."

01 - Free Republics
Scarlett Nicholls - Born To Fry

Viktor: "What?"

Anna: "To be fair, it's not the most ridiculous entry we've seen in Worldvision. You and I both know this"

Viktor: "I just couldn't concentrate on the song after that really long monologue. The only thing I really noticed was her nudity, which the PNB has blurred out for the viewers back home."

Anna: "Shouldn't we talk about the song itself? I thought it was rather slow and boring, possibly even-"

Viktor: "No, no. Nobody cares about the song after a performance like this."

Anna: *Sighs* "Fine. If that's all we're going to talk about, I'd rather not. It was cheap and just plain weird. I don't like anything about the performance whatsoever."

Viktor: "Speak for yourself... But anywho! Our next song of the evening comes from lovely Yttribia."

02 - Yttribia
The Shield ft. absolute.ly/fantastic - A Bigger Stigma Too

Anna: "We're on the second song, and I've already lost track of how much profanity we've witnessed today."

Viktor: "Fuck off, it's Worldvision."

Anna: "Fuck you, Viktor. Before we get too off track though, I'd like to talk about the song. I liked the beginning a lot. It was dark, cool, and funky. I've never been to keen on rap though, so the second half gets a bit lost to me."

Viktor: "It's a nice transition from the previous song. I like it. Rap is either a hit or miss with me, but this one hit it. I certainly felt like standing up and clapping to the beat."

Anna: "I'm not saying it's bad persay, just not a favorite of mine. I liked it better than the last song though."

Viktor: "Ditto. Pretty good song in my opinion, but this is only the second song, remember. We still have quite a few to go. Up next, Electrum."

03 - Electrum
Matty P - Change Me

Viktor: "Okay, at first, I thought that lady was an audience member and I was looking around to make sure security was coming. When they didn't show, I was worried, but turns out that it was a false alarm."

Anna: "I'm still not sure if she was or wasn't, but it doesn't matter. They looked great on stage. Matty delivered it strong, and he looked good on stage."

Viktor: "Yeah, I remember this song in their National Final. I think it was our favorites, the both of us. I also remember that our fellow jury members were borderline retarded throughout this entire National Final selection, not just Electrums, but ours too. Those twats voted for-"

Anna: "Viktor, hush! You know you're not supposed to reveal who the jury voted for!"

Viktor: "Oh yeah, right. I guess I pre-gamed a little too hard at home before coming to the studio to do this thing. The song, right, well I like it. It's upbeat, fun, and it just puts everyone in a good mood. I like it. I like it a lot. I could listen to this song forever!"

Anna: "Maybe not forever, but yeah, I agree. It's pretty nice, and the performance, like I said before, is nice as well. It all just fits together beautifully. Next song comes from Talvezout. We can expect some good things here."

04 - Talvezout
Vincent & The Sprawl - A New World

Viktor: "So, if I understand this right, the song is about a transgender opening up a 'whole new world' by becoming a female? That's what I got out of the song."

Anna: "What? No, Vincent is a girl. She is, and always has been a female. She's hasn't had anything dangling between her legs at any point in time."

Viktor: "My mistake, but it's not my favorite so far, but I certainly do like it a lot. It's nice to hear a language other than English once in awhile, and Spanish just sounds pretty when sung aloud."

Anna: "This one might actually be my favorite so far. It's so beautiful, and Vincent really looks great out there. The staging is magnificent, and the background singers just look flawless. twelve points, Talvezout, twelve points!"

Viktor: "I don't know about that, Anna. We still have plenty of songs to go."

Anna: "Nah, this one takes the cake. This is already a winner for me, but I guess we should at least listen to the others, eh?"

Viktor: "Yeah, or else I lose my life.. job. I meant job, haha. Life, why would I say that? I have no idea, I totally meant job."

Anna: "The Holy Republican Empire. The next entry comes from The Holy Republican Empire."

05 - The Holy Republican Empire
Clarence Archibald - Imagine

Anna: "Okay... for all those Polkopian viewers at home, we're sorry, but the PNB had to block that one out."

Viktor: "Yes, unfortunately, according to Polkopian law, we're not allowed to broadcast any notion of religious propaganda whatsoever. So sorry. The performance might already be online at a different site not associated with the PNB howev-"

Anna: "Viktor!"

Viktor: "Oh, right. Just kidding. Nope, the video will never be allowed on any site or channel ever. Those who have any information regarding the online distribution of this song are required to send any information to the authorities. You won't be rewarded, of course, but at least you will be left with the thought that you allowed for justice to happen to these offenders."

Anna: "Yes, quite. Well, that's enough of that. Next up, Esta Lloviendo!"

06 - Esta Lloviendo
Isobella Bachelor - Kirkja

Viktor: "Another strong song! Though this one stands out from the others because it has an eerie vibe to it. I like this one a lot. Probably my favorite so far."

Anna: "Yes, it's a nice song and all, but I'm still set on entry number four. This one is cute, and the stage looks good, but the song itself just doesn't really stand out for me."

Viktor: "Okay, it's that sort of music taste which explains why you have the record for bring Polkopia it's worst result in Worldvision 23."

Anna: "I also won the contest two editions later so I think I know what I'm talking about, thanks."

Viktor: "Whatever. It's a great song, with a brilliant performance. Good lyrics and a great singer. This is winning material in my opinion. I'll be upset if it finishes lower than tenth place."

Anna: "We'll see. Next up we have another country which usually does well; Ekoz. Why? Ekoz they can!"

Viktor: "No."

07 - Ekoz
Inviktus - Unknown

Viktor: "Fuck, this is good. Fuck fuck fuck."

Anna: "Why is that a bad thing?"

Viktor: "Because we're up next, and it's going to be hard to top this."

Anna: "Fuck."

Viktor: "Yep, exactly. It's a cool, upbeat song that surely stands out from the rest. Top three, definitely. Winner? Not sure, but it'll definitely be close."

Anna: "Yeah, it really is a good song. Ekoz brought it yet again. Good for them. Really, I like their entries, so I'm happy to not have been let down here."

Viktor: "Yeah well, we'll see. Next up, it's Victoria Magdalena representing Polkopia! Good luck, girl."

08 - Polkopia
Victoria Magdalena - Galobaya Ceri

Viktor: "So, I didn't like this song much during the Landa vy Polkopiya, but now that I'm seeing it performed on Worldvision with the incredible effects, I see this as a worthy song to represent us."

Anna: "I'm proud to say that I loved it since the very first time I heard her sing it live. She has an amazing voice and I really do think that this song could finish high."

Viktor: "Yeah, but who knows? I thought Anton Redd's song in Worldvision 36 would win, but that ended up eleventh. Same with Paula Salmanella's song in 29. I think we all knew that Andrei Bystrov would flop in Worldvision 28, but that's the only exception. My point is tha you can never really predict who the winner will be."

Anna: "Agreed. Sometimes the results are fair and sometimes, more often than not, they're a bit unjust. Lsst edition, I loved Plaschea's and Vampirum's entries but somehow, Gregoryisgodistan beat both of them and even sneaked their way into the top 10!"

Viktor: "Careful. you don't want Gregory exerting his 'god-like' power over you, do you?"

Anna: *laughs* "No, I guess not. Anyway, next we have Tödlichebujoku? I think that's how you pronounce it. I could never get it right..."

09 - Tödlichebujoku
Valtimo feat. LUMI - Shadow

Anna: "Now this is how you do rap. Sorry Yttribia, but this one wins my favor. Beautiful chorus, deep lyrics, and a great stage presentation. This one could surely win as well!"

Viktor: "Much better than their last entry, don't you think?"

Anna: "Yes, yes, I love it! I love the past three entries, they're all great! I'll be very upset if any of these three don't make it into the top five, along with Talvezout because, quite honestly, they all deserve to be in there!"

Viktor: "I have to agree with you, Anna. This one is very nice and relaxing and I can definitely see this one doing well in the Polkopian charts. I'll be surprised if this doesn't get any points from us."

Anna: "Me too. I'll definitely vote a few times, that's for sure!"

Viktor: "Anna, you're part of the jury. You have a 50% say in the final result anyway."

Anna: "Oh... right."

Viktor: "Yeah, so anyway, next up we have The Sword Bloke."

10 - The Sword Bloke
One-Hit Jimson - Bomb

Viktor: "When the title of this song was first released, I think we all knew what this song would incorporate."

Anna: "Yeah, it's nothing new from them. In all honesty, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the whole 'execution' thing in Worldvision is getting pretty old. I think I've seen more executions in Worldvision than my entire life in Polkopia."

Viktor: "That's definitely saying something! But yeah, I have to agree. It's nothing new. I just wonder why the Sanctii people are targeted by certain nations."

Anna: "I don't know, and frankly, I don't care either. I don't want anything to do with these nuts. I suggest we take a short break before coming back to song 11, what do you say?"

Viktor: "I'd like to as well, but we're short on time. We can't afford a break just yet. Dreamplanet is up now!"

11 - Dreamplanet
George Loggy - Come Back

Viktor: "Not bad, but not spectacular. There are other entries that I like more, but there are certainly others which I hate more. This is a nice middle ground song for me."

Anna: "Yeah, I mean, he has a nice voice and all, but the performance itself is a bit bland. You're competing with the likes of the Ekozian techno dancers, and you do this? This isn't a year to slack off, love."

Viktor: "You have plenty of options with the stage, and you don't use any of them? I can kind of understand the minimalist approach to this, and I suppose it almost sort of works, but after a song, and I use that term very loosely, by The Sword Bloke, minimalism doesn't really do it. I needed an extravagant performance to help me forget."

Anna: "Oh well. Looks like we're going to have to rely on someone else. But all in all, the song isn't bad at all. I actually quite like it. It's just the performance, or lack there of, that lets it down a bit."

Viktor: "Mhm, but anyway, enough of that. Next up - Aloquirbe!"

12 - Aloquirbe
Lena Nyat - Away, Away you go!

Anna: "Aw, this lady has a sad background story. I read it on some Worldvision blog, maybe WSCToday, but I don't know. Anyway full props to her for having the guts to go up there and sing her heart out!"

Viktor: "Yeah, but nobody cares about that. What I'm interested in is the little rivalry between Aloquirbe and Estogium. Apparently, whichever nation scores higher than the other will be here next edition, and the other will not. Now THAT is a headline."

Anna: "But the song, woah, I really like this one! I wasn't so sure at first, with the squeaky verses and such, but the chorus is so strong, and the lyrics are pretty good."

Viktor: "This girl can belt out a note or two, I'll give her that, but I'm not so sure if the verses match with the chorus, really. But the performance was magnificent! Top marks for that!"

Anna: "Shut up, it's a good song. It's better than good, actually. It's great! It's going to be tough for, what was it, Estogium? Yeah, well, it's going to be tough for them to beat this song."

Viktor: "Speaking of Estogium, they're up next. Let's see how they compare against Aloquirbe."

13 - Estogium
Jon and Kelly Timenram - J'ai Voyagé En Avion et Bateau, Et Tu?

Viktor: "Huh. You said that it'd be tough for them to beat the last song, huh? How do you think they did?"

Anna: "This is a pretty strong song too, but I still have to go with the last one."

Viktor: "I have to agree with you there. Aloquirbe's performance looked much cleaner, while this one, not so much. I'm not saying it didn't look good and all, because it certainly did, but the other one was just... better I suppose. This one just has too much."

Anna: "I do like the multilingual bit though. I think it adds something nice to the song. Plus, her emotions on stage really emphasize the meaning of the song, which is always nice I suppose."

Viktor: "Yeah, but for me, Aloquirbe takes the cake. And you?"

Anna: "Aloquirbe all the way."

Viktor: "That's what I thought. Though, maybe the televoters might think differently. That doesn't matter now though. What does matter is that we're on to our next song. Up next we have North Dreamplanet, which I suppose is completely different from the plain old Dreamplanet."

14 - North Dreamplanet
The Mythicals - Mythical Discovery

Viktor: "For this song, I think you should start off the comments, Anna."

Anna: "Do I have to?"

Viktor: "Absolutely."

Anna: "Fine. Well, at least it's not The Sword Bloke or, what was it, the Free Republics? Yeah, them. At least they didn't kill anyone on stage. I must admit though, I was worried when they brought that gun on stage."

Viktor: "If you don't listen to the lyrics and just focus on the beat of the song itself, it could be a fun song."

Anna: "Yes, if you ignore the death threats, I'm sure it's a lovely song."

Viktor: "Hey, it's catchy! But that's about the only good thing I can say about this. Thankfully, we're up to the next entry, this one, by Brittanny."

15 - Brittanny
Joanja Hesderaan and Odo Husderin - I Needed You

Viktor: "You know those songs that you're not supposed to like, but you can't help but like it anyway?"

Anna: "Yeah?"

Viktor: "Well I think that this is it. I really liked this one. One of my favorites, actually, and I don't know why."

Anna: "It's upbeat and fun to sing along to. It has a cool performance and they're dressed pretty well. I don't think this is a 'guilty pleasure' song, but either some people love it, or they don't. You just happen to love it, whereas I don't."

Viktor: "I didn't expect you to like it. Nope, in order for this one to appeal to you, they'd need an extravagant background and a tacky performance, but this one is just awesome!"

Anna: "Okay, well first of all, fuck off for that comment, and second of all, it's not that I can't see the coolness behind this song, it just doesn't appeal to me whatsoever."

Viktor: "Well I hope the public thinks otherwise. Remember to vote for your favorites after the show, and you can do so by texting the number shown on your screen, and adding the number of the song after. For example, if you want to vote for Brittanny, which you should definitely do, just saying, but if you wanted to vote for them, text the number below and add 15 at the end."

Anna: "Right... Well, if that's all, we're up to our next performance. This song hails from Ardoki."

16 - Ardoki
Imperial Chancellor Kassandra Tennison and Elder Dance Crew - New World Order

Anna: "Wow. That introduction was intense."

Viktor: "Why? They're not camping, Anna."

Anna: "What? I said intense... Oh. Oh, stop. Just no."

Viktor: "Sorry, I had to. But I have to say, I was worried when I saw that the leader of Ardonki was performing, that this would be some sort of propaganda spiel that they'd do. Thankfully, I was wrong."

Anna: "Really? Let's read over the lyrics, shall we? But our order, will be achieved, everyone long live our Greater Empire. That doesn't sound like propaganda to you?"

Viktor: "That's just a coincidence."

Anna: "Our New World Order, master of all humanity, yeah, yeah, it will prevail, our New World Order."

Viktor: "They're talking about tolerance."

Anna: "Our New World Order, our grand utopia, all submit to it's jurisdiction."

Viktor: "Oh, okay fine. It's a giant propaganda scam. A shame too, because I really liked the performance. Whatever. I guess we'll move on to the next song then."

17 - Rotia
Jovanka Kopanja - My Drug

Anna: "Aw, poor girl. She's so nervous, and it shows."

Viktor: "Yeah, not the best performance, but you listen to the lyrics and you might see why. Beautiful song though. Love the sound of Rotian in the song though. Very nice."

Anna: "The song is okay. It's just not memorable for me. If you ask me to list all the songs that I've heard so far, I'd probably forget this one."

Viktor: "As much as I like the song, yeah, I have to agree with you there, Anna. It's nice and emotional, but nothing really makes it stand out from the rest of the crowd. Again, not a bad song at all. I really like it, and I hope it does well, but I can't see it making the top ten."

Anna: "A shame, really, but as we know, this is Worldvision. It happens."

Viktor: "Yep. Unfortunately, it does. Anyway, next up, the United Regions of Verona."

18 - United Regions of Verona
Dmitra Yarakinsk - Havoc

Viktor: "Huh. The United Regions of Verona are back after a long absence and they definitely brought it."

Anna: "Yes sir, they most certainly did. Great song, great lyrics, and great stage presentation from the singer. This could do very well. Dare I say that this is the dark horse of the competition?"

Viktor: "I wouldn't be surprised if it was, Anna, I'll tell you that right now. Props to the Veronan delegation for this entry, because this is very good. If this doesn't breach the top ten, I'll riot."

Anna: "I wouldn't suggest doing that, but yeah, if this doesn't do well, I'll probably send a hate-filled email to the Worldvision committee with charges of fixing the votes. Then, I'll add like, seven frowny faces just to prove me point."

Viktor: "You're a monster, Anna."

Anna: "Thanks. I'd love to say more, but I cant. Next, we have Normandy and Picardy!"

19 - Normandy and Picardy
The Swingers - I Love You

Anna: "Now this song right here is very different from what we've seen so far. A bit of an old school vibe here."

Viktor: "I think that this one, actually, is my favorite so far. It's extremely catchy, and the background looks great! Julie, or whatever her name is looks great."

Anna: "I wish I could say that this is my favorite, but I can't. Definitely in my top ten though. So far, this is a very strong competition. SO many good songs from so many countries. It's hard to pick a favorite. I'm still set on that one song, the Spanish one. A New World, I think it's called."

Viktor: "Yeah, okay. Sure. But this one is so much classier! It's so great! How can this not be in your top three?"

Anna: "Because I like other songs more."

Viktor: "Okay, miss 16th place. Before you get too ahead of yourself on how many good songs there have been, we go now to Gregoryisgodistan. This should be fun. How many people do you think will die tonight, Anna?"

Anna: "I don't care, so long as it's not us."

Viktor: "Fair enough.Song number twenty everybody."

20 - Gregoryisgodistan
Singer U399SLAABD - The Day King Petrus Dies

Viktor: "I lost track after 5,000. You?"

Anna: "I wasn't watching, actually. I got up and poured myself a scewdriver. I felt like I needed one for this."

Viktor: "Ooh, actually could you pour me one too?"

Anna: "You should've asked me before I sat down. Sorry."

Viktor: "Oh yeah, we're supposed to be commenting on the song. Yeah, yeah, blah blah, it's horrible, those poor people, blah blah."

Anna: "I guess it's time for a break now. Well, when we come back, we'll be commenting on Gregory Llama Land's song. So yeah, bye."

39. TITANIUMLAND
Emily Brown - "Addicted to You"

Emily Brown, 19, rising Titaniumlander singer and songwriter, is chosen to represent Titaniumland for the first ever WSC in Titaniumland.

This countdown appears on the LCD. The stage is dark. After the countdown reaches zero, the lights are dim and Emily is seen standing on stage, wearing this. During the intro, she shouts "WHADDUP ROWLAND!" She starts singing.

Everything you've done to me
Everytime you've said love to me
It keeps rolling down deep in my heart
I'll try to forget, unfortunately but I can't
You walk with another girl downtown
But I keep still walk alone downtown
Will she get the same that I've got?

As Emily is waving her arm (like this on 1:08-1:09), wings are coming out following her arms movement.

I'll try to forget him
Forget him
Unfortunately but I can't

During the pre-chorus break, Emily opens her coat, she throws it somewhere. One of her backing dancers catch it, the lights are suddenly turned on. The dancers are dancing to the rhythm.

You gave me love yesterday
But I can still feel it anyway
Your love made me high
Anyway
I think I have addicted to you
We can dive tomorrow
Through my brokenhearted blue pond
I can still feel your love anyway
I think I've addicted to you, baby

During the post-chorus break, the lights are dim. The dancers are gone. Thunder strikes the stage, the rain is falling but only virtual.

You flirt with another girl before my face
I wish I'll be that girl oh baby
I wonder if you still love me too

As Emily is spinning around, the rain is assembled become one spot (like this on 1:39-1:42), the virtual rain are gone.

I need to forget him
Forget him
Unfortunately but I can't

During the pre-chorus break, one of her backing dancer throws her coat and it fits perfectly on her body. The lights are turned on. Emily and her dancers are dancing to the rhythm.

You gave me love yesterday
But I can still feel it anyway
Your love made me high
Anyway
I think I have addicted to you
We can dive tomorrow
Through my brokenhearted blue pond
I can still feel your love anyway
I think I've addicted to you, baby

Emily arrives on the center of the stage. She flirts with the camera.

I wonder if she feels the same as I do

She shouts: "Thank you world!". Her dancers and Emily lifts their hands up, when they turn down their hands. The stage are turned dark again.

Hermann Göring und Der Luftwaffe - "I Ate 'Em All"

"I guess the best way to describe our song is as a humorous take on a very serious and dangerous problem, obesity. And on top of that, we also give a new, literal, meaning to the term greaser." - Hans Rolf

Comedian Hans Rolf, in order to properly portray Göring, is wearing a fatsuit under a uniform covered by an awful lot of bling-bling medals. Der Luftwaffe is wearing old timey uniforms, but in a rather sleazy way (still with shirts though) that wouldn't be allowed if they were in the real airforce.

They start to play.

All those bratwursts at the mall I ate ’em all
All those bratwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
I don’t care about my-my health, I can eat whatever I want
Bratwursts at the mall, I ate ‘em all

All those knackwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
All those knackwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
I don’t care about my-my health, I can eat whatever I want
Knackwursts at the mall, I ate ‘em all

All those bierwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
All those bierwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
I don’t care about my health, I can eat whatever I want
Bierwursts at the mall, I ate ‘em all

I just had two cakes an’ a chicken and my stomach seems to thicken
I can eat just about whatever I want
Because gluttony is terrific and I’m way too fat to care
All those bratwursts at the mall – I ate ‘em all!

A bunch of dancers, men as well as women, dressed as various food items, enter the stage and start to jive in couples.

Then some goose liver and a lot of rum
Then some goose liver and a lot of rum
I like steak at the grill bar and chew down to the bone
I’m gonna eat all the crackers at the mall

All those bratwursts at the mall I ate ’em all
All those bratwursts at the mall I ate ‘em all
I don’t care about my-my health, I can eat whatever I want
Bratwursts at the mall, I ate ‘em all

I just had two cakes an’ a chicken and my stomach seems to thicken
I can eat just about whatever I want
Because gluttony is terrific and I’m way too fat to care
All those bratwursts at the mall – I ate ‘em all!

Göring tips over the microphone stand and heads away to one of the female dancers, dressed as a French hotdog. He gives her a French kiss and they start to dance together. The other dancers clear a room for the two of them on the stage, and they stand in the spotlight. The music goes faster and faster, and Göring is sweating as he tries to keep up with the rythm.

When the song comes to its end, he fakes a heart attack and fall down "dead" on the floor. The music stops, a couple of dancers go to "help" Göring, and the light fades to black.

4 1 - T A K A T A S H I

BLUE HAAJD - FACE ME ft. YDRIA OOBIER
TUNE - Lena - ASAP (ft. Miss Li)

Blue - Bluem
Red - Ydria
Standard (Depends on NS Theme) - Both

Bluem and Ydria walked onto stage. Both were not native to Takatashi - Both had grown up together as children in a small town on the island of Utroacht, in the Woltoz Archipelago in the United Oblosk Islands. Both 18, their parents worked for the same company. When both were 15, their parents had to move to the Takayite capital of Tokoto as of a new company venture.

The Takayite crowds were screaming at the top of their lungs, louder then that of the Veronans. The song had reigned over the Takayite charts for months, and after initial participant Mida Kadari gave birth early, there was no doubt that Bluem and Ydria would represent Takatashi for their return in the 39th edition of the WorldVision Song Contest.

The arena was pitch black, before the stage slowly lit up. Both were lying down on the stage, side by side. Bluem wore a white short and black trousers and a pair of runners, whilst Ydria wore a rather long cloak, obviously over something underneath.

Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,

Ydria jumped up, and began singing her verse. The crowds were getting louder, and the Veronans were cheering too, for it was second in the Official Veronan Charts (OVC, Sasuni Verona Hikaro, Dobrok Veronike Chartovsk) after their own WV entry, Havoc.

You've been staying there now far too long,
Dressing in the bathroom in my home,
Doing all the dishes and I've fed the dogs,
Are you gonna leave me,
I am so alone,

Ydria faded into darkness, whilst Bluem, still lying, began singing again.

Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,

Albeit Ydria was seemingly gone, she joined in singing whilst Bluem was still in the spotlight. She had meant to be also in a spotlight, however obviously a mistake was made in management.

And you've just been in there for far too long,
Standing by the mirror singing silly songs,
You make me feel really angry, you can never understand,
You hear me leaving, don't you want me to come back?

Now both sang the chorus, and the spotlight for Ydria came online. The crowds grew wilder, with Takayite flags being flung onto the stage.

Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,

Ydria ripped off her cloak to reveal a revealing black dress, however it revealed more of her breasts, whilst it went down to her knees. It was neatly open under and over her breasts, as well as some side action. The crowds roared in delight, with even bouquets being thrown onto the stage, despite being far from winning.

Girl, you're nothing but torture,
Girl, you're nothing but torture,
Boy, you're nothing but torture,
Boy, this is like torture,

Ydria walked as fast as she could in heels to the front of the stage, stepping over Bluem. Twirling, she showed the rather revealing buttocks area of the dress, where it was neatly slit into a vent-like design showing off bits of her booty.

Drinking it off, falling down, no time for crying, boy,
Time to kill and have another drink,
No need for you, baby,

It was time for the final few repeats of the chorus. Ydria chose to sit on Bluem, an unusual choice.

Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,
Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,
Face me, girl, I gotta call you,
Get here now, if you are my kind,
Face me, now, god I feel so lonely,
Are you gonna leave me?
I am so alone,

Why won't you face me? I'm by the door,

Ydria jumped off Bluem, and he got up. Both thanked the crowd and ran off.

Chámelíyá
Autumn Is On Its Way - Cháráharú
Beach - San Cisco

Cháráharú are a Chámelíyáli indie band formerly known for their work in soul music. Having lost out on the honour of representing Chámelíyá at the 38^th WorldVision Song Contest to Meriná Thápa, they were approached by the Chámelíyálí national broadcaster, CháReTe to write a song for the 39^th edition due to a regrettable lack of funds for a fully-fledged national final. Their song, Autumn Is On Its Way, is about the affect of time on relationships and the inevitability of relationships ending.

The lead singer, Ráju, is stood at the front of the stage, positioned slightly to the left wearing a deep red Paisley shirt and skinny jeans. Standing a few paces behind him to the right is Ritu who is wearing a turquoise Paisley dress. The rest of the band are set up at the back of the stage wearing dark shirts and skinny jeans. Thin smoke curls and lingers around the stage, lit up from beneath with blue and pink stage lights, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. The rest of the stage is illuminated in this ghostly blue and pink combination as the spotlights dimly focus on Ráju, leaving the forms of Ritu and the band distinguishable yet indistinct. Ráju looks into the camera and begins to sing into his microphone.

Balmy summers, can’t tell if the sweat is from us or
Maybe the sky?
Arms are running, sitting here, I remember your smell
And it’s all fine

The camera begins to slowly pan into Ráju only capturing him from the chest up. The light's intensity grows a little, illuminating him fully but keeping the others in the shadows. Rising from the smoke, Ritu's hands, decorated with henna, can be seen slowly moving, floating gracefully in intricate movements and gestures.

We can lie here, the grass is soft and we’re not in a rush
We’re warm all night, we’re warm all night
For once everything’s still, and I can feel your hand
But we’ll have to get up - it’s the one thing that’s on my mind

Ráju turns to his side to face Ritu as the spotlights shift the focus onto her. Singing into a microphone held with one hand, her other hand is held aloft, fingers dancing to the music. The camera moves around Ráju and Ritu creating a feeling of intimacy between the two as they look at each other.

Oh, when the sun goes down, oh, when the nights are long
When summer’s gone it’s not, it’s not the same
Oh, when the stars are out, oh, when the fog is down
When winter comes it’s not, it’s not the same

The lights on Ritu fade out leaving the focus on Ráju once more. He turns to face the audience once more as the camera cuts to a shot from the middle of the stadium showing Ráju in his shadowy, bluey-pink dream-world perched above the darkness of the crowd. The loneliness of Ráju in the midst of the vast blackness is stark.

We are migrating birds, when the seasons turn cold
We have to fly
We’ve done it all before, collect the battle scars
So we say goodbye, when we know it’s that time
It’s nice while it lasts, but try not to fool ourselves
This is our life, the same ‘til we die

The lights on the stage intensify, this time revealing the band as well as Ritu. The camera closes in on the pair of singers as they move and step around each other. Ritu reaches out and holds Ráju's cheek tenderly.

Oh, when the sun goes down, oh, when the nights are long
When summer’s gone it’s not, it’s not the same
Oh, when the stars are out, oh, when the fog is down
When winter comes it’s not, it’s not the same

Ráju steps back leaving Ritu at the front of the stage to sing. The microphone echoes turning her wishful sighs into a melancholy chorus that echoes around the auditorium. The camera switches between shots of Ritu singing pained and wistfully and shots of members of the audience swaying freely in time to the music.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

The camera cuts to Ráju who is now standing at the left side of the stage. The spotlights are a dazzling pale blue, a contrast with the moodier hues of the rest of the stage. Ráju sings into a camera in the crowd. As he sings, Ritu walks up behind him and places a hand on his shoulder.

The kites went up today; autumn is on its way
It’s in your smile
You’re looking up at me, will you think of me?
I can see it in your eyes, say you won’t even cry

Ráju reaches to hold Ritu's hand but she pulls away and quickly paces back to the centre-front of the stage. All the lights fade to the pale blue which stuns the audience and forces them to squint a little.

Oh, when the sun goes down, oh, when the nights are long
When summer’s gone it’s not, it’s not the same
Oh, when the stars are out, oh, when the fog is down
When winter comes it’s not, it’s not the same

Ráju walks back to Ritu at the centre-front and the two circle, facing each other. They hold their hands out, touching each other with flat palms.

Oh, when the sun goes down, oh, when the nights are long
When summer’s gone it’s not, it’s not the same
Oh, when the stars are out, oh, when the fog is down
When winter comes it’s not, it’s not the same

Suddenly, the music and the lights fade away. Ráju pulls himself away from Ritu and steps backwards into the darkness of the stage leaving Ritu alone in the spotlight at the front of the stage. She looks down, away from the camera singing with a dejected face.

Oh, when the sun goes down, oh, when the nights are long
When summer’s gone it’s not, it’s not the same

The lights remain off leaving Ritu alone the spotlight, "Thank you!"

Commentary on MRX ONE with Robert Baxter and Sam Smith.

Robert: And a very good evening to you all back home in Mister X. Yes, we're back. We're sorry we weren't around for WV38, but we needed to clear the airwaves for the Countdown marathon, followed by election night, where I'm delighted to say the incumbent government were re-elected with a stunning majority of 15, up from the last election where they were forced into a coalition, being short by 20. Robert Baxter and Sam Smith coming to you live from Titaniumland, relatively new to the WorldVision circus, but I suppose we could call them veterans. Sam Smith, welcome back to the commentary box. Are you looking forward to tonight.
Sam: Most definitely. Missus X have a serious contender in Rick Leg and "Into You". Rebound are entering with a minimalist entry, and I'm sure Titaniumland will put on a great show for us, here in Rowland. Lots of -land names here. Here's the opening act.

OPENING ACT

Robert: Away-ah, away-ah, 'way-ah, 'way-ah...
Sam: Shoo!
Robert: Go away!
Robert: Right, now, here's the important bit. To vote for a song you like, dial 9 12 12 followed by the number of the country you want to vote for if you're calling from a mobile, or 01721 12 12 followed by the number of the country you want to vote for if you're calling from a mobile. Your scores will be combined 50:50 with the scores of the Mister Xian national jury. You can't vote for Mister X. Up first, it's Free Republics, with Scarlett Nicholls and "Born To Fry". See what you think. Song number one.
Sam: And tonight, my softness rating is back. There are four sorts of softness: hard, medium, soft and supersoft; that’s silver, white, yellow and red - knife, toast, butter, and jam as they get softer. Got that? Good. "Soft" songs are slow ones. So, for example, last year's Mister Xian entry would have got knife.

01 FREE REPUBLICS

Sam: It's sort of trance-like, isn't it?
Robert: Yes, it's quite dreary.
Sam: Either she was trying to hypnotise the audience or she was drunk.
Robert: Or both, judging by the staging.
Sam: Not to mention the speech... eugh. We've just had election night. The song is jam, and it was about five minutes too long.
Robert: To vote for Free Republics, call 9 12 12 01 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 01 from a landline. Next, it's Yttribia.

02 YTTRIBIA

Sam: I was liking that until the rap came in.
Robert: Two songs in one doesn't go well. Ask Rick Leg.
Sam: No, it didn't float my boat, the rap section, but it did make the song harder. Knife. And the number is 9 12 12 02 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 02 from a landline. Number three is Electrum.

03 ELECTRUM

Robert: Best Electrum entry ever?
Sam: Hell yes.
Robert: I thought you didn't want Red Milipede to win the election?
Sam: Hell no, but his "hell yes" is so parody-enticing.
Robert: Speaking of which, if anyone can locate the "Red stone" that he wrote his election pledges on, please send it to MRX ONE at this address: 2010-2020 Cameron street, PO Box 331, Thatcher City, WE1 U L05T. There's a 100,000 T-mark reward. Anyway, back to Electrum. How soft?
Sam: Another knife.
Robert: And to vote for Electrum, call 9 12 12 03 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 03 from a landline. Next up, we have Talvezout.

04 TALVEZOUT

Sam: Hell yes!
Robert: I liked that too.
Sam: Two out of four good entries isn't bad, I guess. Knife. The number for Talvezout is 9 12 12 04 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 04 from a landline.

05 THE HOLY REPUBLICAN EMPIRE

Sam: A bit different to the last few, but a real dirge, I'm afraid. Why didn't they sort this entry out whilst they had the chance? The WVSU - the WorldVision Singers' Union - should have started jumping up and down and screaming last night, because this is a total mess. The instrumentals aren't instrumentals, they're heavily disguised breaks for fresh underwear and some waking-up draught. What a dirge. It's jam, not that you'd care, it's a terrible entry.
Robert: The number is 9 12--
Sam: Don't bother. Let's move on.

Robert: After five entries, the Mister X trends on Twitter are as follows:

#WorldVision
#HellYes
#SamsRant
#TeamRebound
HRE
Muamer Tankovic
#MRXONE
Countdown Marathon
#Election2015
#SomeoneTellSamToSortHisGrammarOut

06 ESTA LLOVIENDO

Robert: That was dreary, too.
Sam: Butter. Add 06. Next.

07 EKOZ

Robert: I liked that.
Sam: So did I.
Robert: The number to vote for Ekoz is 9 12 12 07 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 07 from a landline.
Sam: That's yet another knife entry.

08 POLKOPIA

Robert: There's something about Polkopia which causes them to throw in a half-decent ballad every year.
Sam: Half-cooked, yes. Decent, no. Butter, yes. Mobile voting number, 9 12 12 08. Landline voting number, 01721 12 12 08.

09 TODLICHEBUJOKU

Sam: I thought we just had Polkopia?
Robert: Yes. This song is exactly the same.
Sam: So you don't need me to tell you it's butter.
Robert: And the number to call is 9 12 12 09 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 09 from a landline.

10 THE SWORD BLOKE

A loud beeping sound is heard.

Sam: Oh, you are joking...
Robert: That's the fire alarm, folks, we'll be back in a minute. In the meantime, here's highlights from a cracking football match between Thatcher City and Majorium, with commentary from James Allen and Ronnie Squawker. Enjoy.

11 DREAMPLANET

DUE TO A FIRE ALARM WE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO WORLDVISION. YOU ARE WATCHING HIGHLIGHTS OF THATCHER CITY VS MAJORIUM.

James: Here's Dan Burn. Forward it goes to Hugo Rodallega.
Ronnie: I HAVE TO SAY, DIMITAR BERBATOV IS A GREAT FIND FOR MAJORIUM, HE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
James: Rodallega... McCormack... and here's Roberts... Good ball! Fine finish too! And Thatcher City lead!
Ronnie: WHAT A GREAT GOAL! THAT'S ANGELA FRANDY PLUEMAINE!
James: Don't you mean Ange-Freddy Plumain?

12 ALOQUIRBE

DUE TO A FIRE ALARM WE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO WORLDVISION. YOU ARE WATCHING HIGHLIGHTS OF THATCHER CITY VS MAJORIUM.

James: Majorium have some pressing to do now. Look at the Thatcher City players back in the box. Here comes the corner, taken by Riise. Sidwell... Berbatov...
Ronnie: TANKOVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!
James: What a goal!
Ronnie: IT'S 1-1, JAMES, AND WHAT A TURNAROUND!
James: Look at that, what a strike from Berbatov, well parried by Marcus Bettinelli, but it falls for Tankovic to head it down and in, and their manager, René Meulensteen, looks delighted!

13 ESTOGIUM

DUE TO A FIRE ALARM WE ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO WORLDVISION. YOU ARE WATCHING HIGHLIGHTS OF THATCHER CITY VS MAJORIUM.

James: End-to-end stuff now, this is great. Attack by Plumain breaks down. Berbatov tracking back there. Now here's the counter-attack. Berbatov... oh, what a ball, and Tankovic to finish it...
Ronnie: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
James: It's 1-2, and what a brilliant piece of judg--

WE CAN NOW RETURN TO TITANIUMLAND.

Robert: Welcome back. We're sorry about that.
Sam: Don't worry, nothing you missed worth mentioning. Let's move on to North Dreamplanet.
Robert: Oh, if you're wondering, the game finished 1-2, with a brace from Muamer Tankovic securing a Majorium victory. A full report can be found on mrx.com/sports/derby-day/tha-v-maj/report/ridiculously-long-url/muamer-the-tank-secures-victory-with-brace.

14 NORTH DREAMPLANET

Robert: A little kooky and catchy, but bread or knife?
Sam: Difficult one. I'll go for bread. The number to call is 9 12 12 14 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 14 from a landline. Next up is Brittany.

15 BRITTANY

Sam: I know it's Brittany, but... come on, admit it, you enjoyed that!
Robert: Oh, of course I did?
Sam: Is that worthy of a "hell yes"?
Robert: Hell yes, it's worthy of a hell yes.
Sam: Nice and hard, and quite long too, although that's not relevant, that's a knife.
Robert: Marvellous. The number is 9 12 12 15 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 15 from a landline.

Robert: Here are the Twitter trends:

#WorldVision

43 OWNER-OSITY
The Owner's Band - Shop Owner Style

The band comes on stage, with a guitar and drums in the shape of Shop a owner. Then a dancer dressed as Shop Owner comes on stage. Song starts.

Sh-op Owner Style
Owner Style

The dancer then jumps into the crowd.

The best guy on earth, isn't Greggy or the Consul.
He has a nation called The Sword Bloke in his tiny hands now.
You better be a slave to him or you will become dinner
To the many guard dogs outside his house!

The dancer then shoots an AK-47 into the air.

Shop Owner
You better be sure that he kills you, instead the opposite
You don't wanna be hit by him!
He travels around the world in a red blimp!
Shop Owner

The dancer then backflips onto the stage, while the song continues. Another dancer then comes on, with a Shop Owner Flag from WV37.

Dont you dare call him a nobody
Say OK, yay! Say OK, yay!

Don't you dare call him a nobody
Say OK, yay! Say OK, yay!

You know the consequences for this ac-ac-tion!

The backup dancers then throw a glass onto the floor of the stage.

The Shop Owner dancer then breakdances, while a shower spray appears on stage, spraying water into the crowd. The dancer then announces something on the microphone.

Hey, guess what everybody. We gonna sing that again! Sing with us!

Despite the controversy, people start cheering and they start singing.

The best guy on earth, isn't Greggy or the Consul.
He has a nation called The Sword Bloke in his tiny hands now.
You better be a slave to him or you will become dinner
To the many guard dogs outside his house!

The guitarist then starts singing as the drummer starts a fight with the Shop Owner dancer.

You better know
Who the real God is
Matey, matey
You need to become a Sword-Swordean

He made the
Language of English
Matey, matey
You even listening
To what, to what, to what I say?

The Mexican Wave starts across the arena as the chorus starts again.

Good Shop Owner style!
Yea, yea yea yea yea yea yea!
Yea, Ownerism!
Shop, shop, shop shop
Good Shop Owner Style

Eh, Ownerism!
Shop, shop shop shop!
Yea yea yea yea yea yea.
Good Shop Owner Style.

Once the band stops playing, a cleaning crew from Titaniumland comes on stage to clean up the blood drawn from the drummer and the backup dancer. The drummer is said to have a broken leg, while the backup dancer is believed to have broken both his arms. However, the Swordean & Owner-osity fans cheering overpowers the booing of most of the other nations.

Yes WV!

44 - Praciba
Part the Stars by Lenny and Blaire
Tune: Queen of Hearts by Juice Newton
Language: English

As it becomes Praciba's time to perform, all lights are dimmed. Due to these dimmed lights, no one was able to make up what was happening on the stage except for the technicians and mechanics that were sent, among others, with the performers. Wearing night-vision goggles, they placed the required props for the performance and carried the performers to their places. While the performers were more than capable of moving themselves, it was deemed safer for them to get carried to their place, as they would probably knock something over or get seriously hurt in the dark. What many people didn't know was that these technicians and mechanics were often chosen from the best strongmen of Praciba, with popular strongmen such as Barþy 'Man Crusher' Kóngresson and þieðerick 'Femboy' Choulß often receiving a quick course on how to install the specialized Pracib equipment, seeing as regular technicians and mechanics lacked the power and raw strength to lift the equipment and the artists.

When the lights were turned back on, a large, beautifully crafted bar was seen on stage, the bartender tapping two juicy-cold frothing-from-pleasure beers and putting them on the bar, where the crowd and television audience can see Lenny, Blaire and a unnamed third man sitting, the unnamed man instead enjoying a rather large bottle of premium brand Pracib vodka. Lenny could be seen insulting the man as the music starts, with him quickly taking his and Blaire's bar stools, using them as a defense mechanism and moving them to the proper place for the next part of the song, while Blaire starts to fight with the man in white.

Fist fight
And I'm wailing on the guy in white
Praying that he'll lose
Before the pain blocks out the booze

Tired of fighting the highly talented Blaire, who was able to make the stage fighting extra realistic due to training under multiple street fighters, the man in white breaks his bottle of Vodka to use it as a stabbing weapon just as Blaire kicks him in the throat, a mix of blood pack blood and glass shards flying through the air. While far more violent than Pracib entries would normally be, it was used to aid the song in it's message. As Blaire joins Lenny, sitting across from each other on the previously named bar stools, a spotlight is aimed at them while the other props are removed, giving the impression as if nothing else on stage exists except Lenny and Blaire.

My mooniepie
Your love makes my heart go and fly
But why do you try to make others cry
Are you a bitch or do you want me to fry?

As the first part of the refrain starts, the stage lighting is changed with LCD screens, fiber optics and other tricks to depict a massive amount of stars, as if Lenny and Blaire were really in space or somewhere up high, just looking at the stars.

You know I will part the stars
To keep you in all my hearts
Your sonny ain't the only tool
Who wants to keep you cool

Through further manipulation of screens and such, Blaire is able to make it look as if she is really grabbing the stars while using a lasso, although said lasso and stars only exist through manipulation and large amounts of money spent in preparation. Before the second part of the refrain starts however, the bar stools and the singers sitting upon them are raised in a similar method as used with last WorldVision's performance by Waldrick, to further depict the fact that they are alone, romantic and among the stars.

Laying out a couple of line
Grabbing them one at a time
'Cause I do what you need me to
To keep you from leaving me, boo

As the refrain ends, the stools are lowered and a woman wearing a rather long skirts comes by on the LCD screen, attracting the attention of Lenny. Although she disappears, Lenny still sees the opportunity to insult her in his song.

Sugar
Your legs are like a tent
Why do you keep looking to offend
C'mon, take my hand

Blaire takes Lenny's hand and leads him to a different part of the stage, where two standing microphones and a rising platform await them. Although the refrain hasn't been reached yet, the stars do appear again.

Pumpkin
You might act to be bad
But deep inside, I hope you are feeling sad
I still love you but please stop that

You know I will part the stars
To keep you in all my hearts
Your sonny ain't the only tool
Who wants to keep you cool

Through further manipulation of screens and such, Blaire is able to make it look as if she is really grabbing the stars while using a lasso, although said lasso and stars only exist through manipulation of screens and other props combined with large amounts of money spent in preparation.

Laying out a couple of line
Grabbing them one at a time
'Cause I do what you need me to
To keep you from leaving me, boo

The stars disappear and the spotlight reemerges to show Lenny and Blaire as the only things that matter, as if they are in a deep and romantic conversation among lovers that the crowd and television audience are allowed to see.

Troubles
Your fave thing to brew
But I plead, please don't stir the stew
Because it might be the last thing you do

Who bothers?
Those people are like a badly worn shoe
They shouldn't care about what I do
My hearts keep and stay true to you

As with the other refrains, when it starts, the stage lighting is changed with LCD screens, fiber optics and other tricks to depict a massive amount of stars, as if Lenny and Blaire were really in space or somewhere up high, just looking at the stars.

You know I will part the stars
To keep you in all my hearts
Your sonny ain't the only tool
Who wants to keep you cool

You know I will part the stars
To keep you in all my hearts
Your sonny ain't the only tool
Who wants to keep you cool

Through further manipulation of screens and such, Blaire is able to make it look as if she is really grabbing the stars while using a lasso, although said lasso and stars only exist through manipulation of screens and other props combined with large amounts of money spent in preparation.

And laying out a couple of line
And grabbing them one at a time
'Cause I do what you need me to
To keep you from leaving me, boo

You know I will part the stars
You know I will part the stars
You know I will part the stars
You know I will part the stars

As the song ends, Lenny and Blaire could be seen sharing a kiss while the light dims and eventually cuts out, the end of the song being nothing more than a sweet kiss between lovers.

Max Hardwell: Welcome back, let's continue shall we?
Sonya Portelli: With the fire sprinklers working, and the fire extinguished, and the chairs and remains removed, and new chairs placed, and new people being put in, it's time for us to continue.
Max: They've become efficient in clean-up now eh?
Sonya: Yup. Comes down to experience. And holding your nose.
Max: You could definitely say that with some of the songs we've heard in our time

45. Hinenaes
"One" - Ysila Toba
Tune

Ysila Toba's thoughts raced as she heard the music begin playing, signaling the start of the Hinenese entry. It had been a whirlwind for her ever since she had been selected to sing Hinenaes' first entry in the WorldVision Song Contest. Though she had been disappointed that the English version had been chosen over the Hinenese language version (In her opinion, the better one), she was still happy that nothing else had changed. She had gone over the routine plenty of times during the practice performances. All leading up to this moment. The whole nation was eagerly watching, even the King apparently, according to her manager. She did want to enter the stage as a simple singer, but as a graceful and confident young woman. She walked to the front of the stage and began singing. She was bathed in a golden light interspersed with white light, giving the stage a shimmering appearance.

Had to see for myself if it’s true
What the other girls are sayin’ about you
Always going on about how you’re so proud
I wanted to be wowed, I wanted!

She is accompanied by six male dancers wearing cream colored tights. They lift her up and she sits as though she is on a throne as she sings the next verse. Ysila has gives the audience a sensuous look.

I didn’t believe it then,
Still laugh about it when,
I picture all those girls’ glares
You’re sublime, and now you’re all mine
I’m what you wanted, I feel so light
We were made for each other, so alike, alike
You are:
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!

She lays down as if on a couch and two of the dancers bring out large ostrich feather fans and begin to fan her. Ysila puts her hand over her head and acts as if she is rapturous with love.

What they said was all that you’re not
The real you was what I got
After you there’s no one left to choose
It’s me you wanted to choose, you wanted!

I didn’t believe it then,
Still laugh about it when,
I picture all those girls’ glares
You’re sublime, and now you’re all mine
I’m what you wanted, I feel so light
We were made for each other, so alike, alike
You are:
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!

She is let down by the dancers and walks to the front of the stage and gets down on one knee. She holds the microphone in one hand and the lifts the other one out to the air as if reaching up to touch someone's invisible hand out there. The lights dim and a nighttime sky is put on the back of the stage. The whole area dims.

You’re my one, my brightest light,
The Love of my life
You’re my stars, I’m your sweet
The sweetest
The one! The one!
The one! The one!

You’re all mine!

The area slowly gets brighter and Ysila rises from where she was on one knee. She begins dancing and as the music gets louder, she starts jumping upand down in the air. The backup dancers begin doing the same as her. She begins the last verse.

You’re sublime, and now you’re all mine
I’m what you wanted, I feel so light
We were made for each other, so alike, alike
You are:
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!
The, the, the, the, the, the
Oooo ooo ooo! One! One!

Thank you, Rowland! Thank you, World! she says in heavily accented English as she exits the stage.

Worldvision 39 commentary, brought to you by the PNB, the Polkopian National Broadcaster

Viktor: "Hello everyone and welcome back to the 39th Worldvision Song Contest with Polkopian commentary, brought to you by myself, Viktor Khassanov, and Anna Petravona."

Anna: "If you recall, we left off with Gregoryisgodistan which, if you chose to tune that out, we don't blame you. But up next, we have Gregory Llama Land."

Viktor: "Mhm, and folks, if you haven't started drinking yet, now might be the time to go about doing it."

21 - Gregory Llama Land
George W. Tush - My Pet Goat

Viktor: "Ugh.... Anna?"

Anna: "Hmm?."

Viktor: "Don't take three double shots one right after another, even when the song is so atrocious, you might not be able to help yourself. I'm telling you now that it's a bad idea."

Anna: "Well, while VIktor composes himself, I'll give my review. Didn't like it, obviously. Of course, not a huge fan of the beastiliaty undertones and the goat trying to sing. It's different, I'll give it that though. But it's time to move on to the next song."

22 - Al-Balansiyya
Aleksandra Denemir - Karibi

Anna: "Ah, Al-Balansiyya. I usually love entries by this nation but something here just doesn't quite cut it. Not sure what it is, but I don't really feel anything from this song."

Viktor: "Urgh. Alright, I'm back. Hm, I missed this song. How was it?"

Anna: "Eh, not bad, not great. It's a pretty techno-heavy song, though I'm afraid it'll get lost in the mix. Techno lovers might prefer the entry from Ekoz over this one."

Viktor: "Sucks to suck. Next!"

23 - Mister X
Rebound - I Want To Be With You

Viktor: "This one isn't bad."

Anna: "No, it's not bad at all, but it's not memorable in the slightest. I doubt I'll even remember this song after five more acts or so."

Viktor: "I don't know, it's pretty catchy. I like it."

Anna: "Sure, it might be catchy, but again, this song can't compete with some of the better songs we've seen tonight. Yeah, okay, it might be better than George W. Tush or whoever his name was, molesting his goat on stage, but it's certainly not one of the best."

Viktor: "Please don't remind me about the goat."

Anna: "Fine. But nah, I can't really say that this song does all that much for me, I'm afraid. Hopefully, the next song will. It's by the Electrum Diplomatic Offices, so who knows?"

24 - Electrum Diplomatic Offices
Gertrude Pullman - Everybody Sucks!

Anna: "Just kidding. But I know who the award for the most annoying song will go to..."

Viktor: "D-Did I just hear Polkopia in the lyrics somewhere?"

Anna: "Sounds like somebody is still salty we won the bid. No matter; we did a damn good job I think, last edition."

Viktor: "I don't know why, but I think this one is actually pretty funny. It's so chaotic, I don't even know what just happened, but I think I liked it."

Anna: "You've had too much vodka, Viktor. No, this is horrible. This might as well be just as bad as Gregoryisgodistan or whatever. Plus, we had to fight off some of the performers from storming into our box just now. No, I can't say I'm a fan of this one."

Viktor: "Oh, take the stick out of your pretty little ass, Anna, and get a sense of humor!"

Anna: "No more drinking for you. Have some bread or something. But next, it's San Llera."

26 - San Llera
Flavio - Walked Through the Ghetto

Anna: "This makes me never want to visit San Llera, like, ever."

Viktor: "In truth, I don't know what happened. I completely blanked out on that entire thing, I'm sorry. It was just really hard to focus on what was occurring."

Anna: "No, don't worry about it. That was more poetry than an actual song. I don't really like poetry either, so I just listened to the words and tried to make sense of it all. All I understood from that was that everyone in San Llera is poor, and something about concrete walls, I don't know. Maybe I'm just too ignorant to get the references?"

Viktor: "Oh yes, you're the most ignorant person I know, Anna."

Anna: "Hey, I was just trying to find a justification for not knowing anything about this. Anyway, next up - Missus X!"

27 - Missus X
Rick Leg - Into You

Viktor: "Oh God, it's this guy again."

Anna: "Hey, this song isn't half bad. It's not your typical Rick Leg performance, I'll tell you that right now!"

Viktor: "You're right, it's not. It's pretty good and quite catchy. They seem pretty intent on being the twenty seventh nation to perform though, don't you think?"

Anna: "27? Is that when they're performing? I couldn't tell. How did you manage to figure that out?"

Viktor: "Because San Llera was 26. Oh, and the constant shouting of 'Number 27' might have given it away as well, I don't know."

Anna: "Ah, you're very clever. But I suppose that's enough about that. I think we can both agree on the fact that the song isn't terrible. It's quite good, actually. Who would've thought that Rick Leg would have sent a halfway decent song to represent his country, eh?"

Viktor: "Right. Next, we have Kasanova-Koratica. Sheesh. Try saying that ten times fast."

Anna: "Kasanova-Koratica, Kasanova-Koratica, Kasanova-Koratica, Kasano-Koritik..."

Viktor: "Right? Tough, isn't it?"

28 - Kasanova-Koratica
WTF Entertainment - I Like Pain

29 - Izmedu
Silvio Franjic - A Wandering Soul

30 - Silkjd

31 - Silkjdian Mainland Asia

46. Lymantatia - Lock Clicks One - Luc Desnoyers
Melody

Hear the big sound of the number
Shinier than your eyes azure
Gleaming like a blooming flower
Go by the light of the lock that clicks softly

Be life valued at five or none
Under the red and yellow sun
We shall now have lots of party fun
Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one

And when it clicks up to two
What about me and you?
Our days shall now start anew
With never furtherest ado
And now what I had knew
Everything is now always true
I ask: John Doe who? Not you too!
Let's get that chime and get a clue

Be life valued at five or none
Under the red and yellow sun
We shall now have lots of party fun
Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one

And when it clicks up to three
What about you and me?
Our hands go across the sea
With you, me, he, them, us and she
And now what I will see
Everything is now real shiny
I ask: She glossy? I agree!
Let's get that chime for sounds I see

Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one
Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one
Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one
Pucha fun pants on, join me mon
Let's havin' fun till the lock clicks one

And when it clicks up to four
Me and you, really sure?
Our days shall start every four score
Except when there is World War
And now that I know more
Someone was here or there before
I ask: Is he here? Over there!
Let's get that chime and figure where

K A L O S I A
Mountain Peak — Ricky Alain
performed in English to the tune of Chandelier by Loïc Nottet (cover, originally by Sia)

note: Ritornël ur a me is Kalosian for “Please return to me now”.

Ricky Alain is a Kalosian musician. He specializes in singing and DJing. Ricky typically composes and performs his own songs, as opposed to some mainstream DJs who compose but collaborate with another artist for the vocals. He entered the Kalosian music scene in 2011 with his first single Lights and had his first album, Illusions, released the following year. His 2nd album, Mountain Peak, was released in January this year and the titular song was only released as a single late April, but it proved to be a success. So successful, that instead of choosing an artist to write a song for WorldVision, RTVK decided to ask Ricky to perform his #1 hit at the event. The song was at the top of Kalosian music charts for 3 weeks since late April 2015, but will be expected to top the charts again after his WorldVision performance. Currently it’s at #3.

Ricky was wearing a sleeveless jacket with a white shirt underneath, and jeans. On the stage there was a giant prop that looked like a mountain, and there was a path on it (it was basically a giant podium/platform). Behind it were 2 backing singers, hidden from any camera shots. When the song started, Ricky was sitting on the floor, facing the audience. Lights, mainly black and red, were dim and flashing but he was visible.

Broken hearts, suffering
I’d escape all that, don’t wanna have
Can’t run away, run awa-a-ay

I’m your future and you’re my past
When are you gonna realize
I’m missing love, missing lo-o-ove

He quickly got up and run to the top of the mountain prop.

(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
Ritornël ur a me

He got to the top just in time to sing the chorus. A camera had been following him and as he sings the chorus, it appears as if the camera is flying away from the mountain. The background becomes white and the stage is bright.

I sing to you from a mountain peak, from a mountain peak
I’m calling you from the top of the highest hill, top of the highest hill
I await you from where I stand right now
We belong together
I sing to you from a mountain peak, from a mountain peak

The lights slowly dim and turn black and red again. As Ricky sings the next part, he slowly sits down, still on top of the mountain prop.

And as I begin my descent
I can’t help that I think of you
Cause I miss you and your lovely eyes
And I want you wrapped around my arms
And I will wait for you the whole night
Keeping on each single device
So when you get to me I’ll be here
I don’t wanna lose you anymore, not anymore

The stage lights flash again as he sits the next verse singing down.

Sun is up, it’s Saturday
Any day of the week won’t feel the same
Keep looking out, looking out for you

He slowly gets up again.

(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
(Boom boom clap, boom boom boom clap)
Ritornël ur a me

The stage lights become bright like the first chorus, and Ricky is standing.

I sing to you from a mountain peak, from a mountain peak
I’m calling you from the top of the highest hill, top of the highest hill
I await you from where I stand right now
We belong together
I sing to you from a mountain peak, from a mountain peak

Lights become dim like the verse again but Ricky still stands. It has become apparent that he will remain there for the rest of the song.

And as I begin my descent
I can’t help that I think of you
Cause I miss you and your lovely eyes
And I want you wrapped around my arms
And I will wait for you the whole night
Keeping on each single device
So when you get to me I’ll be here
I don’t wanna lose you anymore

Not anymore, not anymore
Cause I miss you and your lovely eyes
And I want you wrapped around my arms
Around my arms, around my arms
And I will wait for you the whole night
Keeping on each single device
I don’t wanna lose you anymore
Not anymore, not anymore

A huge roar erupts in the arena. It’s clear the crowd likes the song, the Kalosian delegation can only hope the audience in the other 46+ participating countries will like it too. “Thank you everyone!” Ricky shouts.

Commentary on MRX ONE with Robert Baxter and Sam Smith.

Robert: Welcome back. Let's get straight back to it, then, with the United Regions of Verona.

18 UNITED REGIONS OF VERONA

Robert: That was odd, wasn't it?
Sam: I wasn't quite sure what to make of that, I'm afraid.
Robert: Well, can you give it a softness rating and the voting number?
Sam: That's difficult, because it was either medium or hard. I think I'll go for hard - knife. The number to get involved is 9 12 12 18 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 18 from a landline.

19 NORMANDY AND PICARDY

Sam: I liked that. Now, excuse me, there's a bucket outside I have to be sick into...
Robert: Before you ruin our equipment in here (and force another evacuation), how hard was it?
Sam: Bread. Now, I really have to go.
Robert: So, whilst Sam's off to the loo, the number to call is 9 12 12 19 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 19 from a landline. I think Sam's going to miss the next act, which is Gregoryisgodistan.

20 GREGORYISGODISTAN

A loud beeping sound is heard.

Robert: Well, viewers, that's the fire alarm, and Sam isn't back yet. Oh dear. This doesn't look good. Now, I'm going to do some investigative journalism and switch to radio microphone. We need to find Sam before he gets roasted in the inferno. Right, viewers, let's go. [He hammers on the toilet door] Sam?
Sam: Wuuuuh?
Robert: Fire alarm. Let's go.
Sam: OK. But I'm suitably recovered to say that was jam, and the number is 20. Come on!!

21 GREGORY LLAMA LAND

Robert: I'm talking to you from the car park outside using the radio microphone, where we can just about hear the acts. If this doesn't work, we'll throw on some cricket highlights.
Sam: Did you hear something about a terrorist act?
Robert: Not really.
Sam: Oh well. That's jam.
Robert: The number is 9 12 12 21 from a mobile and 01721 12 12 21 from a landline. This is working, you know. Well, looking at my notes, I can see the next act is something unpronouncable from Al-Balansiyya.

22 AL-BALANSIYYA

Sam: That was... loud.
Robert: Remember, we're still broadcasting from the-- oh, hang on, we can go back inside now. So as I'm walking you back inside, ooh, hang on, here's Rebound! Good luck! They're song 23, ladies and gentleman, which is up next!! Come on, Sam, let's run, and we'll... talk... you... through... the... Al... Balan... siyyan... entry...
Sam: Pure... and... sim... ple... bread... add... twenty... two...
Robert: [panting heavily] We've made it back to the box, and just in time for Rebound!
Sam: [panting heavily] Don't make me do that again...

23 MISTER X

Sam: I'm not sure if the minimalism will wash with the viewers across the world tonight.
Robert: I think it will.
Sam: You mean "hope"?
Robert: Yes, whatever... Softness?
Sam: A good old stainless steel knife.
Robert: And do I really need to tell you? You can't vote for the Mister Xian entry. And next, it's Miss-- oh dear, no it's not, I thought it would be Missus X, but it's Electrum Diplomatic Offices, with that old hag again...
Sam: Careful. Don't be ageist now.

24 ELECTRUM DIPLOMATIC OFFICES

Sam: For the eighteenth time, we are not married to Missus X!!
Robert: No, sir. They are a former colony of us. I know love has no borders and countries can get married, but we're not. We're not even divorced. Anyway, what did you think of the rest of that?
Sam: Did I turn up at the Thatchers by mistake? Yet another ridiculously long speech!
Robert: It wasn't that long...
Sam: It doesn't matter. When someone makes a cup of tea for you, you thank the person who made it. You don't thank the mug, the milk, the sugar, the tap, the kettle, or the water mains...
Robert: OK, we get it.
Sam: Oh, and it's a knife. And the number is 9 12 12 24 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 24 from a landline.

25 SAN JOSE GUAYABAL

26 SAN LLERO

Robert: Are we in Berlin? They love tearing down a wall there.
Sam: I don't know what sort of song that is. It's as if he forgot the lyrics and sung something completely different. Either that or they forgot to the play the tune. So how do I rank it? Do I rank it on the lyrics or the tune? Well, it was mostly lyrics. The lyrics were hard and the tune was super-soft, so we'll go middle of the road. Bread. The number is 9 12 12 26 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 26 from a landline.
Robert: Up next, it's Rick Leg, and his rather catchy number, "Into You". I hope it's not the same sort of "Into You" we had back in 34...

27 MISSUS X

Sam: They're a serious threat. And this is Missus X we're talking about!
Robert: This is incredible. I only wish Ronnie was here to see this.
Sam: Really?
Robert: Er, anyway...
Sam: It's a knife.
Robert: The number to call is 9 12 12 27 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 27 from a landline.

28 KASANOVA-KORATICA

Robert: Please don't... please don't... I think we're going to get away without a fire alarm.
Sam: Great tune. Dreadful lyrics. Dreadful staging. But that's a knife. The number is 28.

29 IZMEDU

Robert: That's one of those ones which you know will just do well. You just know it.
Sam: Yeah. But I'm glad for the change in tempo. That's a butter song.
Robert: To vote for Izmedu, dial 9 12 12 29 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 29 from a landline. Next, it's Silkjd.

30 SILKJD

31 SILKJD MAINLAND ASIA

32 COREYO ENTERTAINMENT

Sam: Bread. 9 12 12 32 or 01721 12 12 32. Not much to say here.

33 PLASCHEA

Robert: The introduction was too long.
Sam: Yep.
Robert: I didn't like it, I'll be brutally honest.
Sam: Nor did I. You just waited for it to get going, and it never did. A bit like the Monaco Grand Prix in 2012, really. Butter.
Robert: The number to call is 9 12 12 33 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 33 from a landline. Come on, Sam, we can get to the end of this!

34 KWADAI

Sam: Altogether... 3, 2, 1...
Robert & Sam: HELL YES.
Sam: That is how a bread song should be done. Powerful vocals.
Robert: I'm glad she was wearing very thick rubber boots... I was very concerned when the stage became electrified. But anyhow...
Sam: They pulled it off. The number is 9 12 12 34 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 34 from a landline.

35 WAZEKIA

Robert: Did you hear what Craig Rebel Snorewood said about us this week? He said that we weren't harsh enough on our commentary. We're worried he's gone off to join Wazekian television. So, in that case, may I, Sam?
Sam: Go for it.
Robert: It was "bad choir meets trumpet" and it messed with my head. The lyrics weren't very imaginable. I suggest getting a new lyric writer.
Sam: Sounds good to me. It was bread, but tottering on knife. So it's toast.
Robert: Do you think I toasted them?
Sam: Dear, oh dear...
Robert: The number to call is 9 12 12 35 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 35 from a landline.

36 RYCCIA

Robert: Very nice.
Sam: Bread. Add 36.

37 CILOSS

Robert: Do you know what? I didn't like this.
Sam: Yeah, me neither. Bread.
Robert: And add 37.

38 VETTRERA

Robert: Well, I'm not sure what to make of that.
Sam: That did build throughout, and for that reason, it's bread. Add 38 if you want to vote for them.

39 TITANIUMLAND

Robert: Sam, you and I are both Fulham fans. Who's probably our biggest floppy signing?
Sam: Difficult, but I'd probably go for Darren Bent... Oh, I get it...
Robert: Yes, viewers, Darren Bent, in his one-year loan spell, had squad number 39. Like this entry, it promises so much...
Sam: You're saying it will flop?
Robert: Sadly, yes, but I hope it doesn't.
Sam: So I'll call this a knife, whilst Robert returns to sanity.
Robert: Oi. Watch it. The number is 9 12 12 39 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 39 from a landline.

40 BAD NAZIS

Robert: Oh. My.
Sam: A bit... repetitive, wasn't it? It's a knife, though. And add 40 if you want to vote for it.

41 TAKATASHI

Robert: Wow!
Sam: That was, and there's no other way of putting it, brilliant.
Robert: But how soft was it?
Sam: Knife.
Robert: To vote for it, dial 9 12 12 41 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 41 from a landline.

42 CHAMELIYA

Robert: Not quite sure about that one.
Sam: Nope. Me neither. Well, it has to be softly ranked, so it's bread. Add 42 to vote for it.

43 OWNER-OSITY

Robert: Right, well, after that... Add 43 if you want to vote for it. The song is...
Sam: A knife. Next.

44 PRACIBA

Robert: Well, it was better than the last few, that's for sure.
Sam: Yep. You can do that down in there and that's what it's all about.
Robert: Well, that was random.
Sam: Sorry. It's difficult. I was stalling for time. Oh, look, a man walking past our box. Er... I'll say butter.

45 HINENAES

Robert: Nice.
Sam: A lovely, energetic, song. Knife.
Robert: And add 45!

46 LYMANTATIA

Robert: Very similar to Titaniumland, so we'll have this conversation again. Sam, you and I are both Fulham fans. Who's the bloke who we loaned out last year and turned up late for one game?
Sam: Josh Passley, wasn't it? I don't see where you're going with that.
Robert: Do you remember the cup replay in 2014? The one Passley played in?
Sam: Do. Not. Remind. Me.
Robert: What squad number did he use?
Sam: Oh... 46, wasn't it?
Robert: Yes, viewers, Josh Passley had squad number 46. Like this entry, it promises so much...
Sam: You're saying it will turn up late for the voting?
Robert: Sadly, yes, but I hope it doesn't.
Sam: So I'll call this a knife, whilst Robert returns to sanity. The number is 9 12 12 46 from a mobile or 01721 12 12 46 from a landline.

47 KALOSIA

Robert: Nice.
Sam: Yeah, decent. Knife.
Robert: And add 47 to vote for it.

Robert: We'll take a break, don't go away.

48 - EURA
War and Peace and Love and Stuff - Douchebag and Sons
To the tune of whatever trite shit you might expect this song to sound like, or Mumford and Sons to produce. Or Coldplay. (Post-X&Y, obviously.)

The Euran band came out onto the stage, but it wasn't quite as bombastic a selection from the eastern Rushmori nation as usual. This year a small folk, rock-pop type thing, whatever in Gods name you might call these bohemian savages, was representing Eura after somehow winning the national vote due to a protest movement swarming the phone lines. The usually triumphant Euran's were hidden away in the audience this time, with a frown on their face and limp plastic Euran flags hanging by their sides. The Euran VIP delegation gave away no sign of unease but didn't look wholly enthusiastic as they clapped their act onto the stage. The act was a four man and woman band. The drummer was blind, yet could play because of some bullshit about inner karma, while the banjoist was called Jeruvia, a 29 year old anime fanatic who naturally spent most of their days sat behind a computer masturbating to some inane nonsense. The lead guitarist was Billy-Bob Barrew, a little known folk guitarist who didn't actually play really, he just whacked the body of the guitar a lot and went "ooooOOOOhhhooOOOOHhhhooo" really passionately, because you know, he's like, a totally natural artist, and he just wants to show the world his talent and converse shoes.

The lead singer was simply known as "Anon", because he wore a mask like a child and because he was an anarcho-wankerist, believing that names were a symbol of capitalist identity. Outside of his day job of singing any old shit and paying zero tax while lecturing everyone else about the needy, he was well known for his long braided hair and clever, original political satire and bite, such as his current shirt, which contained the piercing message, "Free somewhere or other". Anon decided to take a moment to speak just as the song was about to start. "Hey everyone, I'd just like to remind you all that all of the members of our great band are selling these special jumpers we are wearing, which were specially crafted with fair trade materials and cute impoverished kids by the very classy Polarian brand Smug. They're even hand crafted by patronised forest widows from some boring arse country I went to on my gap year. I'd just like to remind you all too that we all really need to reach inside ourselves because..." Anon stopped as he noticed members of the crowd were whistling and the host was tapping their watch at the foot of the stage. "...because you need to feel the love for this great song we are about to perform!" Finally there were some cheers. "Oh, and free Samgossa!" Everyone looked on confused, not sure whether this moron who didn't pay attention in geography actually realised Sargossa and Sameba were two different dictatorships, and that his watch was manufactured by corrupt thugs from the former.

Their song, a lame and generic melody or whatever musicians might actually call it about some obscure conflict Eura was supposedly fighting in, began with a gentle bit of guitar strumming. And that's how it continued, and ended, because it had about as much variety and diversity of style and substance as a Neo-Nazi utopia.

They get on with life as a humans,
They're a human kinda type.
They like war on Sundays,
They like peace in the week.
They like to contemplate war.
But when they start to daydream,
Their mind turns straight to peace.

A number of Euran commentators were already looking gravely unimpressed. One could be seen shaking their head, their hands covering their eyes. Another scoffed at the "banality" of a song that didn't feature a flying motorbike, explosions, multiple sex acts, insulting other countries and gratuitous nationalism.

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about peace with a smile,
Curved lips they just can't disguise.
But they think it's war making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
War or...
Peace? OHHHH WOAAAAHHHH....

We just want peace,
No-one wants war,
They pretend they want war, but what they really want is peace,
I don't really know what either entails,
All I know is,
Peace throuuuuUUOOOhhoOOOHuughout the nations of man...

The acoustic guitarist took off his top, because he's a massive douchebag, and strummed along as they returned to the body of the song.

They like to use words like 'yes,'
They like to use words like 'no.'
They like to use words about war.
But when they stop their talking,
Their mind turns straight to peace.

The lead singer was biting his lip and looking back at the screen behind him, which had a Euran flag with its colours melting away to reveal a crying dolphin with a beer can holder round its neck being ridden by a Mytanar orphan. Wearing little mittens. Shameless, shameless, vote winning mittens.

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about peace with a smile,
Curved lips they just can't disguise.
But they think it's war making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
War or...
Peace? OHHHH WOAAAAHHHH....

We just want peace,
No-one wants war,
They pretend they want to fight, but what they really want is to make love,
I don't really know what they would really prefer,
All I know is,
Peace throuuuuUUOOOhhoOOOHuughout the complex international security system...

Now some Morris dancers entered the fray, jumping about enthusiastically.

They like to hang out with the living,
They like to kick back with the dead,
But when left alone,
Their mind turns straight to peace, and the pursuits of peace, so noble,
Whether it be babies or democratic support,
Fighting rabies or playing friendly sport...

Suddenly several audience members screamed out in outrage at the last line from some nation or other, but they were quickly suppressed by the Euran security services agents in the front row with wiffle bats.

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about peace with a smile,
Curved lips they just can't disguise.
But they think it's war making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
War or...
Peace? They're not too fond of killers,
They really hate lovers,
But they just think back to peace,
And they're happy once again,
Happy once again,
And why, oh why?

We just want peace,
No-one wants war,
They pretend they want to fight, but what they really want is to make love,
I don't really know what they would really prefer,
All I know is,
Peace throuuuuUUOOOhhoOOOHuughout the universe...

The song ended with none of the people on stage actually playing their instruments, because they were able to hum the mating song of a native Askoy tribe, which of course their parents had probably wiped out thirty years ago when being an utter bastard to foreigners was fashionable. Surprisingly, the crowd applauded the song and there were even some tears. The Euran guests simply looked on stony faced, as the act was escorted backstage to be tutted at by their compatriots. Cheery notions of peace and happiness? The bastards.

Ar Norgwéana Votage - The Normand Vote

(The screen shows the Normand spokesperson, Marvell Alisoen, who is standing in exactly the same location as last year. That is, in front of the Holy Mountain, created during the time when Normandy and Picardy had religion (it is now illegal to practice any sort of religion or be part of a cult). It now serves as a museum. He begins to speak in Normand. The translation is in square brackets)

Bonjasorlí. Marci esa pau er spralnðe disktationan nesa et marci é toule aras accer. Einale ega söraní kut adoralîssan ar audítéra eröny ausisan. Main, einalént seta poitjaser norgwéana otana ikma.
[Good Evening. Thank you for the brilliant show and thank you to all the acts. I am sure that the audience loved it as well. Now, here are the first seven Normand points]

(After the first seven are shown, Marvell continues speaking in Normand)
Main, einalés era téma pau eras printínnéas pointjas. Bonja chané!
[Now, it's time for the main points. Good Luck!]
