RADIU-TELEVISIUNE KALOSIA & ELKTEL PRESENTS

WORLDVISION SONG CONTEST 43

Image

The show started with the orchestra playing the opening ident of Radiu-Televisiune Kalosia followed by the opening ident of Elktel, while both broadcasters' logos were shown on the screen. And without much ado, the camera cut to the stage, where WV42 winner Lucia Edin was ready to perform. It was going to be a long show, after all.

Goodbye to Yesterday — Lucia Edin
Winner of the 42nd WorldVision Song Contest and Reigning Champion
performed in English to the tune of Nacida Para Amar by Nina


So as it turns out, the day would come where this song would be performed on the stage it was prepared for, backed by the live orchestra as it was originally planned. Except it would not be performed as a contender; but rather as a celebration of recent success. The performance was mostly the same as the original, except in this case it was how it was supposed to look like originally.

Lucia Edin was wearing the same vibrant red dress she wore on the winning night. This contrasted with the blue-and-black gradient in the background and made her stand out well. The stage was dim and only a spotlight was cast over Lucia. The opening notes of the song started to play. The crowd went wild.


Quiet nights, silent cries
Living in sadness, it’s consuming me
My thoughts and struggles will not last
If nothing changes now

Quiet nights, silent cries
God, I have lived such a turbulent life
But the truth is that love is love
The sun is rising, now I’ll say:

A yellow-orange circle faded in, symbolizing a bright sun in a dark sky. Blue stage lights slowly brightened but only slightly, making the stage still stay dim but bright enough for one to make out the shape of the stage.

Goodbye to yesterday
To all the sorrows I’ve left behind
And let’s toast for a new tomorrow
Which I will welcome with my open arms
Goodbye to yesterday

Everything stayed as it is.
Lack of light, violent fights
Walk away from it all, at least I’ll try
For the truth is that love is love
The sun has rose, so now I’ll say:

The white stage lights started to kick in, making the stage slightly brighter.
Goodbye to yesterday
To all the sorrows I’ve left behind
And let’s toast for a new tomorrow
Which I will welcome with my open arms

At the end of the first line of the next part, stage lights fully kicked in and it was now fully illuminated.
Goodbye to yesterday
Won’t care about any past sorrow
For I’ve entered a new tomorrow
Where I’m safe from abuse, from painful memories

Now the lights faded out and the stage was dim like at the beginning of the performance, except for the spotlight. Other than that there was no change.

Goodbye to yesterday

The song ended and was met with huge ovations by the live audience. She wasn't done yet, though.

Good evening Kalosia, buna sirë Monterra!!! How are you all doing tonight? Do you want more?
(The audience cheered. Some people were shouting "We want more! We want more!" and many joined in, becoming powerful enough to be heard by viewers at home.)
Alright, alright. (she turns to the conductor) Maestro, take it away!

01 - TALVEZOUT
URBAN-HARI & LAURA
"IT's NEVER OVER

Tune is to Gorillaz's Feel Good Inc.


The song was written by Laura as a song both about death and lost love; she recently broke up with her husband of 14 years, Tyler Rivera of Modern Tears, after she found out that he was cheating on him. Two frequent collaborators of Laura, Urban-Hari (a trip hop/rap duo that consists of Matnos Étïl and Dÿva Rošitïl), are featured both in the performance and the track.


The stage is minimally lit in preparation for the Talvezian entry. Onstage, several neon streetlights are lined up onstage. Urban-Hari is nowhere to be seen; Laura is sitting on a stool at the end of the catwalk, with a guitar. When the song starts, the neon streetlights all light up to muted pastel colors; a spotlight shines on Laura.

World feels like it's on a camel's back
It seems so fragile and so strong
So the world crowds the streets as so to see
You breaking down, so appalling and free
I've got a new world, unknown style
Just a little town in the infinite night
Yet all I want to see is your smiling face
I see you in my dreams and it makes me weep


Laura starts playing the guitar as more spotlights shine on her.

My kingdom, horse for a man
Why can't you come over here hand in hand
I can take it all in one big stride
I'm just sinking while you're rising
They say love is forever, a good disease
Love forever, you and me
Yet I hold onto hope for the best
When you say it's never over


The spotlights shift from Laura to the openings on the two sides of the stage. From there, the two members of Urban-Hari emerge. While Laura continues playing the guitar, the spotlights are on Urban-Hari as they perform.

Tell me you're wrong, you're right
Making it up like a dead attack
Start your race at the track
You'll hesitate at the mark
You're just stepping in the heart's of what's dear
You can't bear living this year
So I'll levitate
Hahahha


This is a ghost town
A low town
With the sound
You'll die in a blink
I'll bite the dust
You'll surround us
With you song
I'll kill my heart
So don't stop, think about it
Don't wake up
Until it's never over
Hahahha


During the instrumental break, Laura gets up from her stool and continues her playing; she continues on singing as the neon streetlights start to separate from each other.

Oh my god, man oh man
Why can't you come over here hand in hand
I can take it all in one big stride
I'm just sinking while you're rising
They say love is forever, a good disease
But it's not love between you and me
Yet I hold onto hope for the best
When you say it's never over


Laura starts walking back to the main stage as Urban-Hari start performing their part again. By the end of the song, both Laura and the Urban-Hari are together now, with the streetlights at the end of the stage now.

Don't stop, think about it
You'll find you way through it
Steady
You'll find your way
Ahahaha
Don't stop, think about it
You'll find you way through it
Steady
It's never over
Ahahahhaha


"Thank you Monterra! Gracias Monterra!"


The group smiles, thanks the audience and leaves the stage.

3. Polkopia
Zinaida Nicks - Zburi
Language: Polkopian
Translation: Fly


Zinaida Nickolovoskaya, or better known as Zinaida Nicks, won the Landa vy Polkopiya and thus, earned a spot to represent Polkopia in the upcoming Worldvision Song Contest to be held in Monterra, Kalosia. A relatively new singer, Zinaida had a few minor singles, but never broke through the Polkopian charts until her song, Zburi, which already has 12,000,000 million views and broke through to the top 50 on Polkopian radio. Zinaida describes this moment as the highlight of her career and she hopes that this will give her the opportunity to further her career within Polkopia, and internationally as well.




The stage was set. The large stage around her was completely black, as the performance hadn't quite started yet. Her auburn hair stayed straight and fell down to her shoulders, and she wore a dark red colored eyeshadow to match her hair. She wore a black and white dress and the stage still looked completely dark... until the music started playing, and the stage lit up. At the front of the stage, was a microphone stand with the microphone in place. When the music started, she walked up to the microphone stand, and the large background screen illuminated hues of yellow and gold, almost like a sunset. Silhouettes of birds flew across the screen every once in awhile, but the camera was still centered on Zinaida as she began to sing.

Ohh oh oh..
Ohh oh...
Ohhh...
oohhh


Pota yo skart beza glazi? (Can you see without eyes?)
Pota yo gorvi geza yazvba? (Can you talk without a tongue?)

Ya creda kot yo i ya (I believe that you and me)
prednamen par vechereta (Are destined for greatness)


Zinaida extended her arms out in front of her and smiled toward the camera. The lights seemed to get brighter every third syllable of the verse that she sang.

Doa pazirada totale yosh tamvi (Just forget all your troubles)
Raz yosh ovi (Extend your arms)


Now, she spread her arms out to each side, looked up at the ceiling and sang with a smile on her face. A slight breeze blew her hair back while she sang the chorus of the song.

I zburi ot cera (And fly to the sky)
Sa pin sa yo lako (As high as you can)
I pazirada totale yosh tamvi (And forget all your troubles)

I ne veglit naz (And don't look down)
Doa meryin mun (Just keep going)
Da ne pazirada ot zburi, ot zburi, ot zburi (But don't forget to fly, to fly, to fly)


She looked back toward the camera, took a large exhale, and continued to sing the next few verses.

No suč yo puti sim potdut (On the ground you might feel lost)
Yo but ne pozle ot hoce (You have no place to go)
I yot risipi staro hocam (And you'll spend ages wandering)
Da se ne pozle ot hoce (But still no place to go)


Doa pazirada totale yosh tamvi (Just forget all your troubles)
Raz yosh ovi (Extend your arms)


Zinaida lifted one arm high up into the sky and clenched it into a fist as she sang the chorus more powerful than before.

I zburi ot cera (And fly to the sky)
Sa pin sa yo lako (As high as you can)
I pazirada totale yosh tamvi (And forget all your troubles)

I ne veglit naz (And don't look down)
Doa meryin mun (Just keep going)
Da ne pazirada ot zburi, ot zburi, ot zburi (But don't forget to fly, to fly, to fly)


Now, she gripped the top of the microphone stand tightly and leaned forward, singing, squeezing her eyes shut as tried with all her might to hit those powerful notes.

I uneorais yo sim pica ot suč (And sometimes you might fall to the ground)
I yo sim deven tushkunovet (And you may get discouraged)
Da yo pran yoshota pe (But you dust yourself off)
I polet zbura nou (And take flight again)

Zburi nou... (Fly again...)


The lights dimmed, and the background faded into a night sky, with stars glowing in the dark atmosphere.

Zburi ot cera (Fly to the sky)
Sa pin sa yo lako (As high as you can)
I pazirada totale yosh tamvi (And forget all your troubles)

I ne veglit naz (And don't look down)
Doa meryin mun (Just keep going)...


She raised one hand, and in that instant, the lights shone brighter than ever, and rose petals fell from the ceiling right where Zinaida was standing, falling on her head and the ground around her as she sang.

[color=#BF0000]I zburi ot cera (And fly to the sky)
Sa pin sa yo lako (As high as you can)
I pazirada totale yosh tamvi (And forget all your troubles)

I ne veglit naz (And don't look down)
Doa meryin mun (Just keep going)
Da ne pazirada ot zburi, ot zburi, ot zburi (But don't forget to fly, to fly, to fly)

Zburi ot cera... (Fly to the sky...)


And the song ended. Zinaida smiled and backed from the microphone, covering her excited smile with her hands. She waved to the cheering crowd before exiting the stage.

4. Adab
"My Redemption"
Writer: Kinan al-Salaman
Performer: Kinan al-Salaman

Image
Publicity photo of Kinan al-Salaman, taken a week ago. Al-Salaman likes it "vintage"

Tune: U2 - Summer Rain
Language: English

Kinan al-Salaman was a somewhat surprising choice for Adab's debut on the WorldVision stage. Aged just 20 (he is always proud - and somewhat intrigued - of the fact that he was born on New Year's Day), just a few months ago he was a largely unknown figure outside the circle of folk and rock enthusiasts and musicians who had seen him play small and average-sized establishments across the country and were impressed by the quality of his songwriting, especially for someone his age, and his powerful baritenor voice. Kinan al-Salaman was actually born into a wealthy family; his family is of Druze ethnicity and has lived for a few hundred years on a large plot of land near Jabal al-Druze in the southern part of Syria Governorate. Like his family and many other people who came from Jabal al-Druze and its surroundings, Al-Salaman professes the Druze faith.

While performing in a bar in downtown Adab City, al-Salaman was spotted by Inimabakesh Rahman Jalil, a senior and highly-respected figure in the Adabian folk and rock communities, who then took al-Salaman under his wing and convinced him to appear in several talent shows; al-Salaman won them all. His rising fame ensured an appearance on Adab Television, owned by Emperor Tizqar III himself, in which al-Salaman performed some of the songs that he had written, in the folk, rock, and country styles, and in the English and Arabic languages, to an enthusiastic audience. The media hailed him as the "new hope" for Adabian music, and the Emperor himself ensured that al-Salaman was chosen as Adab's representative in WorldVision 43.




All the lights were dimmed on and around the stage; it was hoped that the audience would quickly come to realize that this performance would be one devoid of special effects. Al-Salaman believed that special effects had no place in this performance and were pretty much unsuited to the song that he would be performing tonight. He felt that it would be more effective to deliver the song "directly to the audience, just a man with his guitar, singing his heart out honestly and tenderly, without being drowned by all the special effects."

Al-Salaman appeared, accompanied only by his steel-string acoustic guitar, and made his way directly to the front of the stage, where the microphone had been set up a little bit earlier. He was dressed immaculately in a white tuxedo and black trousers. Al-Salaman waved to the Adabian contingent in the audience and adjusted the microphone a bit so that it would be directly in front of his mouth. "Good evening Monterra and hello to everyone watching this wherever you are," said al-Salaman with a broad smile, strumming his guitar gently. "My name is Kinan al-Salaman. There are probably some of you there in the audience who are taken by surprise at my youth. I bet some folks out there are thinking '"well, ain't this kid a little bit too young to appear on the WorldVision stage?'" Well, I'm only twenty years old. Probably a bit older than some boy band members, but still, you get my point. As for why I didn't bring anyone else to the stage tonight or use special effects, I feel that it would be more effective to give an acoustic, no-frills performance, because it suits the song better."

Al-Salaman continued strumming his guitar, and then he suddenly stopped and started playing a melody. "This is my first guitar. My father bought it for me when I was five years old, and I composed this song on this guitar. The song is called "My Redemption" and it's about finally achieving freedom from someone who abuses you and manipulates you. Could be your mother, could be your lover, could be your neighbor, could be that secretly evil pizza maker down the street, could be your business manager. It could be anyone, really. So, without further ado, here it is."

When you stopped seeing the truth
The whole world went out
Love evaporates
Like a candle on sunlight

Forgiveness went outdoors
And we rolled the dice
I took the upper hand now
Broke out of fate’s shackles

I found myself in my redemption
I knew myself
I found myself in my redemption
Hour of redemption


"After you've finally broken free from that someone, free from all the abuse that he inflicts on you," al-Salaman interjected, as he continued strumming, "you finally get to taste freedom. For the first time in a long time, you are free, you are yourself, nobody can hurt you, nothing can bring you down. You've gone through the worst and you feel like you've beaten the Devil. That feeling is very strong, comforting and overwhelming at the same time. Trust me, I know it. I did not experience it myself, but I saw it. I'd rather not speak more about it, as it involves a close friend of mine."

Passion and love, got me like the Serpent
Put me under the storm, struck through like a knife
Fate’s eyes and lust’s mighty hands
Directing you through the black hole
My dazed sense, blinking and blind
Fell into your grip under the stars

I found myself in my redemption
I touched myself
I found myself in my redemption
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Just as you lost me on the road to hope
Always you’ll be blind and bitter
Just as I freed me to new faith and sweet air
Always you’ll be slighted to your fall


"Once you've gone through the worst and survived it, you feel like you want to open your arms and embrace the world," al-Salaman interjected again, still playing the melody. "My friends, when freedom comes to you, take the chance and use it wisely, so that you will remain free and at peace throughout your life. Do not pass up the chance because you are too afraid; it might not come again. Do not abuse your freedom by doing hideous things that violate the law, morality, and civil and human rights set down by divine providence and your fellow sentient beings, for that will earn you the hatred of everyone around you. Use freedom wisely, my friends, and always be thankful that you have it. It might get taken away by some unforeseen event and you will regret the loss for the rest of your life."

I found myself in my redemption
I rose myself
Taste now freedom’s scorn
In my redemption


Al-Salaman raised his voice a little bit for a particularly angry segment of the song, to cheers from across the audience, especially the Adabian contingent in the corner:

Redemption, absolution
It’s saving
Recover now
Possessing now


"Thank you, everybody, thank you!" said al-Salaman, clearing his throat. "Truly an enjoyable and unforgettable evening for me here on the WorldVision stage!"

Just as I slipped out by grace of sense
Always you’ll be dim as black
Just as you lost out by great checkmate
Always you’ll be as witted as the wind

It’s not what you see
The tables have been turned
Leaving you in the abyss
Regret in your soul

Fate is blind to you
Mercy cares for you not
Forsaken by our kind
Desolate to your demise


"A bitter song, ain't it?" said al-Salaman as he finished the song to a standing ovation from the whole audience. The sound of claps and cheers filled the whole venue, along with countless happy, vibrant, and smiling faces. "It's basically letting you of all the feelings in your heart, the anger, the happiness, everything that you feel at the moment of your liberation."

Glancing over to the Adabians in the audience, al-Salaman waved excitedly before leaning to the microphone once again: "Thank you to all of you here and everyone watching across the multiverse. This has been a very enjoyable evening for me and I am honored by the great reception that you have bestowed upon me. May good luck always be with you, good people, in everything that you do. Good evening, Monterra! Good evening, Kalosia! Good evening to all of you!"

As he walked away from the stage, he waved one last time to the audience, and then he disappeared backstage.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

5-Dreamplanet
"I'll Never Let Go"
Jorge Paulista
Tune


About Jorge Paulista: He was one of the 319 injured in the ill-fated Britonisea vs Dreamplanet match.
He was a father of 2 and he was married, out of the 13 which died, his wife and children got crushed by the roof.
He got hit by a later part of debri which rained down while he was checking if his children was ok.
He decided to write a song which was important about the match, in a competition where both Britonisea and Dreamplanet were, in a intreview he said: "I had to do this song, i had to say something to the Britonish families who lost their loved ones and many more."

So now he steps onto the stage, both Britonish and Dreamplanet supporters know that this isn't going to be a happy song, so here we go, Song number 5, Dreamplanet.

As the song began, some would call him "He's just standing there and singing his lines." But after what he's seen do you really think that he's gonna dance?
As the stage was dark, what the TV viewers would see is black and white, and that was the color of the lights, Dreamplanet previously promised a happy act but they had to change it.

0:03
When you see...
0:07
I'll be there...
0:10
You may be goneeeeeee, but not lost...
0:18
And i'll miss you...
Don't be afraid... I'll be there...
0:30
I'll be there to hold your hand
0:36
There's a goal... To reach in life...
0:43
And you tried... And came close...
0:49
I would like...
0:55
To see you again...
With hope that you're ok...
1:03
To see you again...
And be happy once again...
1:09
You must dream on... And be strong...
1:22
To go far...
1:24
To go far...
1:27
And to be tall...
1:33
And i said "I'll never let go!"...
1:47
I'll never let go!
1:54
Let go...
2:00
You must dream on, dream on... And be strong...
2:12
And i'll never... let go!
2:26
I'll ne- ...ver... let go...


And as the song ended, the supporters were roaring and some even crying, Jorge tried to fight back a tear, but it was too strong, he went on the mic and said "Thank you!" which was followed by even more chanting from the crowds (Specially Britonish and Dreamplanetian crowds) saying: "I'll Never Let Go!" which followed until the next act. In the greenroom many other performers applauded Jorge Paulista, before the song contest, he said that after what happened in the Doportedas Olympic Stadium wasn't to be forgotten, it had to be done, entering this song was seen as something controversial by many commentators and representatives, but Jorge felt that it had to be done, since Dreamplanet pretty much caused it.

Estogium
Elektroe

Ready? Get Set, GO!
Live Version - Selena Gomez - Naturally
Image






Elektroe was chosen to sing for Estogium for the following reasons;
  • She is in.
  • She sings fun songs that can lighten up the mood.
  • She always make the venue she singing at perfect to her.
  • She wants the audience to have fun.
  • She is on point with her vocals.




A large pink car comes on stage, driven by Elektroe. She then gets the microphone in the cup holder of the car and she winks at the camera. She then starts singing while singing and taking the car key out. She then puts her scarf on and her eyeliner.

Driving round the round-a-bout,
Are you ready to come out?
Ready? Get set, Go.
Turning down Chancery Lane,
Been waiting for this since yesterday.
Ready? Get so, Go.


She then honks the horn which makes this alarm noise as a group of men surround the car, two of which opened the doors. She then smiled at one as she focused her attention on the camera and the audience. She waved at someone in the audience before singing the next part.

I'm sure we'll have fun today!


There was a loud bang and a large white light, similar to a big screen flash. Then the setting of the stage changed to an almost Austrian Mountain Setting. This related to the next part of the song when she sings about crossing mountains to get to Dreamplanet.

Cross the mountain, down to Dreamplanet!!
Let's ride the waves, you know.
Few hours and reach Talvezout!
I'm sure they're waiting for us.
Please don't stop the fun,
Come on in and run, Before we miss the plane.
Have a trip to The Sarian, Gregory-is-God-Istan
Bae-Bae-Bae-Baby.


Two of the men then got on bikes and started riding down the stage while the audience swooned over them. It was also an advert for the new "Bobbies on Bikes" outfit. The camera took it's time getting from the awe of the men on the bikes back to the dazzling Elektroe who smiled at the camera. She then got her buddies and started to do a dance.

Picking you up, you were quite tame,
At the airport, I know it's lame though
You ready? Get set, Go.
We board our first plane to Kalosia.
I heard they're hosting a Song Contest. (haha)


Elektroe then held hands with a man and sang to the crowd as the lights swirled around the arena. Elektroe and the man did a ball room dance as she laughed in his chest. She then sang the next bit.

Cross the mountain, down to Ethane!!
Let's fly high in the sky!
Few hours and reach Free Republics
Though I do wanna see Adab!
Please don't stop the fun,
Come on in and run, Before we miss the plane. (Come on!)
Have a trip to Zovorossia, Britonisea
Bae-Bae-Bae-Baby.


The stage then turned a bright purple as the bridge began. Her friends and the men went behind Elektroe and raised their hands in unison. Something they'd do in High School Musical.

In the sky, we fly.
Look deep in my eyes.
Are you ready, for the trip?
You ARE! (Let's go!)


Here, the dancers then free styled the next part. This is where they could do what they want as they tried to create a party scene. The camera zoomed through all of the people on the stage at the time before returning back to Elektroe. The audience jumped to the catchy tune of this song.

Cross the mountain, down to Kishrael!!
Let's fly high in the sky!
Few hours and reach ToBu!
Though I do wanna see Anoll!
Please don't stop the fun,
Come on in and run, Before we miss the plane.
Have a trip to Elke and Elba, Francilie
Bae-Bae-Bae-Baby.

(Ready?)
(Get Set!)
(Go)
(Are you ready? Come on, let's go!)


The camera then zoomed from the audience straight to Elektroe who then winked as the lights dropped. You can then hear the "Wink sound" as she drove the car off the stage.

"Thanks" Elektroe said walking off the stage. She looked exhausted though ready for the next act, Britonisea, to get ready to go on stage.

The Album of which "Alone" is on.

"Welcome to the Britonish Song of the 43rd WorldVision Song Contest. This is our 11th Song and our 13th Edition. We missed out on Editions 37 and 39 due to the new enforcement of the new "In and Out" Theme. We were supposed to be out for the 41st Edition, but, it was our tenth anniversary, and we went on to winning that edition, and hosting it. I wish I were there. It must've been a great moment for Britonisea, and Britonish music. Must've been a very big turn for the country. I felt proud to be Britonish for once. I felt like we were on top of the world, and with this song, I would like to feel this way. This song is very important to me. It is about a girl, who is me, who is losing or lost someone is begging for their love, we need love to survive, and not to be alone. We can't be alone. This song is about being alone though. Alone. The song name. The word Alone has haunted me for a long time. Growing up, a little girl, in a town called Zelmerlow [Before it became a city] was hard. Crooks sniffing powder on the side of the street. What is I went and took a sniff. Then it wouldn't be me alone. Me, the Drugs and the Thugs, I thought. I didn't attempt to go down that route. I would come home alone. My parents were like ships in the night, to me. Everytime I come home I would make my own dinner, sit alone at the table and go to bed. All tucked in, I would hear the jingle of the keys and the sharp lock of the car door. Mum and Dad weren't alone. They'd come in together laughing, take food from the pot and lock themselves in the room. At the time I thought abuse was happening in that room. Banging and loud groaning, however I learnt that this was an expression of love. I grew up with my parents telling me I will always be alone. I have a great inside beauty, a beauty I try to flaunt but I can't. There is something in my way. I don't regret the decision's I have in the past; I abandoned my parents by the age of fifteen and there were no attempts of finding me. I still went to school and I remember liking Music. The sound of the amplifiers making my voice heard. The sound of the guitar being plucked by the guy I have a crush on. Or, perhaps, the percussion of the drums. I loved it all. And one day I decided that I will make use of something I enjoyed in to perfection. How about become an artist, it is quite easy to do. I returned home on my eighteenth birthday. Looking at the paling faces of my parents was a joke. I then saw a little three year old come down the stairs, it seems like they replaced me. I felt like nothing. I told them I didn't come for a cup of tea, I came here to tell you I want to be a pop star. They made me feel unwanted, alone. I carried on going until when I was 21, I went out with the guitarist I had a long time crush on. Oh, he was a handsome bloke. He has the best hair, so jet black. His eyes, so beautiful. A murky green. He was a great sight. He left me for my arch-nemesis. I hated her for it. He broke up with me on the side street of Zelmerlow Love Club. How Ironic. I went to my home where my parents opened brought me in with loving arms. My little sister came and hugged me. I wasn't alone. I am now 24 and I am rebuilding my relationship with both my parents and my sister. I love my life, though I miss him. I know he misses me too. I dedicated this song for him. Hopefully he can rebuild me. Make me feel safe and not...Alone."

The new song, "Alone" is available on the Album 'On the Road' which tells the story of how she grew up and how hard life was for her. The Guardian, Britonisea, named it the best Album of the Month and one of the best of female artists, ranking her up with the likes of Mya Richardson.



Kristine
Backing Singers
Together (Backing singing an Octave higher)




Kristine Flack looked ready for her time on stage. She was awaiting the moment when Britonisea was called out. Listening to the Dreamplanet song regarding the Doportedas Disaster where 13 people immediately died got to her. The Estogium song got her pumping again. She said to the producers of Kalosia that she is ready. She then heard Britonisea's name called out. Whilst the VT Began she took a deep breath in before walking out on the stage. Half of the way through the VT she put the microphone on the stand in the middle of the stage and stood in front of it. The VT finished and lights were put on her. There was a piano player on stage and a group of the orchestra playing along to the tune. Of course, MIDI was still being played over. She looked at the crowd angry, she looked distraught. Her glamorous microphone glistened in the pure white light on her. She began to sing the song. A slow, but powerful song.

Alone. In the streets.
Wondering when I will be swept off my feet.
My hearth though, bleeds.
By the thought of you turning your back on me.


The crowds applause was great, but didn't make her feel more confident. She felt as though she needed to get to the next chorus in order to feel a bit safer. The white lights were pondered around the arena while a big timpani was hit every four seconds, building up the tension. The camera angle swerved from the orchestra to the singer.

Alone. Calling for you.
Tears of desperation crawling down my face, I cannot speak.
My love, please.
Look in to my eyes and then you'll see the real me.


During the Pre-Chorus, the lights began to change colour as an autumn feel began. Kristine began to smile, she wanted to sing for her crowd, she was determined to do well. The strobe lights filled the stadium when the chorus started, and the music was loud, though she managed to sing over the song, easily. The crowd roared in excitement as they weren't expecting a sudden change on the stage. Timpani was now going at a 2x faster pace.

Is it my Punishment? For Being mean?
Is it over, A done deal?

Alone, with no one at my side.
Alone, with no love at night.
I missed you, don't leave me, I realised what I've done.
Don't make that, mistake hon'
Don't leave me here.

Alone, with no one at my side. (By my side)
On the streets looking at the sky. (At the Sky)
Stars align, two households in dignity
The story of Romeo and Juliet,
It is us.


After the chorus, two interpretive dancers came on stage and she walked towards them. She looked at them as they danced to the song. Her face was shown on the screen. Then the second part of the song began. She started walking down the long stage whilst singing.

Alone, walking.
I'm on a voyage to find myself, or my old me.
The distance, of you
I'd have to cross thousands of mountains,
I hope you had the same thoughts too.


This verse was short as we went in to the second chorus, another exciting, tension building chorus. On the stage, the interpretive dancers followed her down the long stage behind her mimicking her movements. When she turned around suddenly the dancers bent down so she couldn't "see them". The camera then showed her expression as she looked at the audience and hand shook a few of those who are standing up for the whole duration of the contest.

Is it my Punishment? For Being mean?
Is it over, A done deal?


Alone, with no one at my side.
Alone, with no love at night.
I missed you, don't leave me, I realised what I've done.
Don't make that, mistake hon'
Don't leave me here.

Alone, with no one at my side.
On the streets looking at the sky.
Stars align, two households in dignity,
The story of Romeo and Juliet,
It is us.


The wind machines were turned on and the smoke machines too, create a large tornado feel on the stage, it was so strong that the nearby audience could feel it. She then walked up that long stage back on to the main part and began to sing the next part. The screens behind were covered by smoke, however from the ceiling of the arena dropped autumn leaves over the audience. However, it was dropped like light snow on them.

It is us. (Me You He too)
It is us. (Me You He too)
It is us. (Me You He too)
Alone.


Interested, the audience watched the next events with glee. The interpretive dancers literally jumped off the stage and started going in to the audience, something Britonisea does usually in a performance. The camera shot the audience waving in unison to the slowness of the song.

The next part of the song was the chorus and she decided to sing it in an octave higher, meaning that the backing singers sang in the 5th note. Together it sounded go. A church bell was heard when the chorus started. She was bending because of the music "taking over her". She wanted this so badly.


Alone, with no one at my side.
Alone, with no love to tuck me in at night.
I missed you, don't leave me, I realised what I've done.
Don't make that, mistake.
Don't leave me here,

Alone, with no one at my side.
Right here looking at the sky.
Stars align, two households in dignity,
The story of Romeo and Juliet,
It is us.


The music then stopped and the camera zoomed from the commentary box, passed the audience and straight towards her, who raised her hand and smiled. The dancers in an arrow like formation, copying her movements. "Thank-you, Kalosia. Thank-you WorldVision"

She then walked off the stage and yawned. She was tired as she approached her Estogium friend, "Elektroe". "That was amazing, I'd love to perform again on that stage. Trust me." she smiled. Elektroe laughed, "Me too...We'll just have to find out the winner at the end of the song. But let's sit tight here, and see how the next few singers go. Next up is Francilie. Let's wait, eat and hope!" she smiled.

09 - Free Republics
Rape Me Baby One More Time, Performed by Lucia Bolton
Tune
Image


Lucia Bolton, the legendary former professional wrestler (famous for her tag team and legendary feud with Nova Hellstrom), walked onto the stage in Monterra alone and crying. Wearing her old ring attire, the beautiful natural blonde waved to the crowd and began to sing:

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby

Oh baby, baby, how were you supposed to know
That I didn't want it right here
Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have tried to say no
And now you're on the run, yeah
Do it again however you want to
Do it baby 'cause I know you have your manly needs, oh because

My love for you is killin' me
(And I)
I must confess I wanted it too
(Wanted it too)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Do it again
Rape me, baby, one more time


As she was signing, Lucia looked to the crowd, where the entire Republican National Soccer Team was seated. The Lucia who was singing on this stage was not the confident young wrestler who had caused an international incident 6 years ago. Kyle Bolton, Koby Theodore and Rule Theriault, who were also at the center of that controversy that had nearly led to a war between the Free Republics and Felix, were all seated in the crowd.

Oh, baby, baby, you're such a man
Boy, you've won my heart
Oh, Kyle baby, there's nothing that you can't do to me
It can be the way you want it.

Show me what you want to do to me
Tell me, baby, 'cause I want to know just what you want

My love for you is killin' me
(And I)
I must confess I wanted it too
(Wanted it too)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Do it again
Rape me, baby, one more time


As Lucia sang about Kyle, she looked directly into his eyes and he looked into her. She picked up the tempo a bit and began dancing around provocatively on the stage.

Oh Eh
Eh Yeah

Oh, baby, baby, how were you supposed to know
Oh, Kyle baby, I shouldn't have said no

I must confess that my love for you
Is killing me now
Don't you know I love you
And want you to do it again
Rape me, baby, one more time

My love for you is killin' me
(And I)
I must confess I wanted it too
(Wanted it too)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Do it again
Rape me, baby, one more time


Here, Lucia became even more provocative, removing her wrestling attire to reveal her bra and panties to everybody in attendance and watching around the multiverse. She made an effort to show off as much of her body as she could...

(I must confess)
My love for you is killin' me
(That my love for you is killing me now)
I must confess I still love you
(Don't you know I wanted it too)

When I'm not with you I lose my mind
(I really do love you)
Do it again
Rape me, baby, one more time


As Lucia finished the song, her husband Kyle ran onto the stage and ripped her underwear off of her. Soon, Kyle was "raping" her on the set of WorldVision as she screamed for him to stop and made a show of resisting him every step of the way. When he finished, the 2 of them got up and walked off of the stage hand-in-hand.

.:: 10 - The Sarian ::.
.:: Aimee Louise - Mistress ::.

.:: Language(s): English ::.

To the tune of: Britney Spears - Toxic

Image


Since rocketing to fame on the 12th series of the talent show, The Flame, Aimee Louise has had a stranglehold on sari charts, managing an impressive eight number ten singles from her first two albums, including three number ones with 'Never Broken', 'Extinguished' and 'Yttribian Boy'. Never far from controversy, the singer has made headlines for her high profile hookups which included the Justice Executive, Marco Castro, causing his resignation from government.

Aimee was therefore a surprising choice for the next sari WorldVision act, and the Executive Office for Sport, Heritage and Tourism (formerly culture) hope that the break from their usual selections of baby-faced teens and golden sweethearts can deliver their first top five finish since Vidi in WorldVision 32. The song, entitled 'Mistress', is said to be based on a real person - although Aimee Louise has refused constantly to say who. Talking about the song, Aimee says that it is about "a type of love you hear so little about - complete and utter infatuation with someone you know you shouldn't be with. The need for each other, every waking moment, yet knowing that you have to sneak around. You want to scream about it, tell everyone you know, but you know that you have to keep it a secret; in that sense, it's actually quite a sad song - with a killer dance beat!"



The stage is covered in groundwater, with more falling from the ceiling. Surrounded by a group of twelve dancers, made up of burly men with no shirts on, Aimee began to sing, whilst starting an elaborate and energetic dance routine.
You're needing me
She's leaving
You need my help
Your woods not going
I'm coming boy
I’m running

Make no mistake
You're sinking
Even lower
But I'm lovin' it
I'm addicted
Need a daily hit


Aimee begins to spin as a slight mist descends the stage.
In love
With a taken man
Spending my night
Sneaking ‘round and ‘round
Say you want me boy


Whealing out a throne, the dancers carry Aimee, placing her upon it and begin carrying her around the stage on it.
No thought for your wife
Boy, you are mine
She's wrong to try and deny us
Will she believe all of your dangerous lies
You're in love with me
You know that you should be
Babe, never give me up
You know that you're for me


The throne is placed down and each dancer takes turns to kneel before Aimee, each is turned away in increasingly provocative ways.
Let's face it babe
You need my love
Your other girl
Doesn't give enough
So love me
You know I set you free

In love
With a taken man
Spending my night
Sneaking all around
Say you want me boy


Aimee rises from the throne and continues the elaborate dance routine from the start of the performance, kicking up the water from the stage as she goes.
No thought for your wife
Boy, you are mine
She's wrong to try and deny us
Will she believe all of your dangerous lies
You're in love with me
You know that you should be
Babe, never give me up
You know that you're for me

You know that you're for me

No thought for your wife
Boy, you are mine
She's wrong to try and deny us
Will she believe all of your dangerous lies
You're in love with me
You know that you should be

No thought for your wife
Boy, you are mine
She's wrong to try and deny us
Will she believe all of your dangerous lies
You're in love with me
You know that you should be


Aimee begins to crawl on the stage, now saturated in water, looking sensually at the camera, giving a slight wink.
Boy, I need you now
Know you need me now
Know you need me now
Know you need me now
Boy, I need you now
Know you need me now
Know you need me now

George Allison - "You Know I Can't Stay".
Tune: Celine Dion - "My Heart Will Go On"
.


George Allison is from Thatcher City, the capital of Mister X. He is a singer and a professional dancer, having won "Record Of The Year" last year, and retained the "Strictly Come Dancing" crown. Judge Craig Rebel Snorewood scored him maximum marks for his Rumba, set to his own song, and Craig Rebel Snorewood has choreographed the dance for Mister X to perform tonight.

George Allison stands on the stage, wearing white trousers and an open black shirt (and an obligatory microphone clipped to his ear), with no one else on the stage except for his dance partner, Antoinette La Neck, wearing a cream dress, in one spotlight each. As the music starts, they circle each other before launching into a lift. Antoinette looks mournfully at George, who begins to sing:

Every night I leave you,
You know why,
You know why,
And I think you know I
Can't stay.


Antoinette launches herself into George's arms, before a series of pivots, then going into basic Rumba steps. The right foot moves to the right, and they transfer the weight onto that foot, exaggerating the hip action in the process. They then do the same for the left foot, then back to the right foot.

And when I see you once more,
No one does
Love you more,
You know full well I can't,
Can't stay.


The back of the stage then turns a bank of lights up slowly, so the stage is now fully lit, as George and Antoinette continue their Rumba. They go into some complicated moves, which are so revolutionary that there's not yet a proper name for them.

Please,
Love,
Don't break my heart,
'Cause I think you know I can't,
Can't stay.

One
Small
Small thing from you, oh,
Just you know that
You know I,
You know I
Can't stay, baby.


Antoinette runs off the stage, leaving George alone, who steps slowly towards the very front of the stage.

You know I've got to go home,
My heart's not
Made of stone,
And you know that I can't,
Can't stay.


Antoinette appears once more, almost ghost-like, but this time she has a microphone attached to her. George turns to face her, and she acts as a backing singer, whilst they hold out one arm at each other, so close to touching, yet do not.

Do you know I love you?
I don't think
You really do.
Tell me that you know I
Can't stay.


They now continue their Rumba, interspersing complex moves with basic Rumba steps.

Please,
Love,
Don't break my heart,
'Cause I know you know I can't,
Can't stay.
(Why can't you stay, baby?)

One
Small
Small thing from you, oh,
Just you know that
You know I,
You know I
Can't stay, baby.


The lights on the back of the stage dim down and eventually turn off during the instrumental, during which time George and Antoinette continue their Rumba with one spotlight on them each, but the lights suddenly burst back on with the key change, as George and Antoinette go into a huge lift.

I'm
Here,
I want you so near,
I'll show you that
I can't stay,
Can't stay.

I'm
Here,
I'll always be near,
You are here in my heart and
You know I
Can't stay away.


The dance finishes as George sings the last note.

Oooooooooooh....

Poor Of My Heart
By: The Nost Guys
Tune


They enter wearing their suits(they do it almost all the shows),then the intro begins while all the members(except the singers and the drummer who were already there) of the group enter.The guitars and the bass stop playing,they start to sing when the guitars and the bass come back.

Poor of my heart
Whom you made a fool
It wasn't cool,
So,poor of my heart

My girl,she's not mine at all
She's so cold,heart is made of Gold
She ignores me all
The time,but lov's me,she told


The chrous begins as they start to play a dotted quaver and a semiquaver,while this the singers are putting their hands at their chests,over the Natanians and Nosts' flag.

Poor of my heart,that was broken
by a girl,tha' pretty beautiful
but stupid girl,now I am feeling awful,
Thinking if in someone else,to love I had chosen
My heart would hav' suffered less
And I felt a lot less...loneliness


When they sing "lo-ne-li-ness",they just sit down and enjoy the bass sound.When the guitars come back they stand up and start singing louder.

Girl,you made me
A fool,but my love for
You is more
Than you ever note.
So,poor of my heart!


Poor of my heart,that was broken
by a girl,tha' pretty beautiful
but stupid girl,now I am feeling awful,
Thinking if in someone else,to love I had chosen
My heart would hav' suffered less
And I felt a lot less...loneliness


When the "solo" begins,they take two extra electric guitars that were next to the drums.And shout “Natanians and Nosts!”.

Poor of my heart,that was broken
by a girl,tha' pretty beautiful
but stupid girl,now I am feeling awful,
Thinking if in someone else,to lov' I had chosen
My heart would hav' suffered less
And I felt a lot less...loneliness

When they finnish their performance all of them say:
– Vote for Natanians and Nosts!Thank you for seein' us tonight!

13 - Normandy and Picardy
Gerrad Versun - "Falait Ega" (I Would Do)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH30OyVXuK0



Image
Official Single Release of "Falait Ega"



Normand pop musician Gerrad Versun, famous for his quirky pop style which is unique in Normandy and Picardy, was announced as the representative for the country in WorldVision 43 quite suddenly, just days before the contest was set to begin. This has come as a surprise to the WorldVision community, who had been expecting Normandy to be represented by Lolla, with her song "Jealousy". Her song won the 53rd "Festivalé pau Norgwéan", and was selected by BNRT to represent them; however, personal problems and claims of plagiarism have forced Lolla to stand down, and after Jo-Ana Jupjalle denied claims she was to represent the country, BNRT announced Gerrad would be the representative. He expressed his delight and is ,"relishing the challenge". With Normandy and Picardy finishing 2nd on home turf, expectation is high and BNRT obviously believes he can deliver. His song, "Falait Ega", (I Would Do) is in the Normand language, which is seen as a risk after the last two songs - both successful - being in English. His album, Vil Pau Vicitast (City Life), has already had much success in Normandy and Picardy and abroad, and the single release of "Falait Ega" is doing well in several charts. Gerrad himself is 27, and has been in the music industry for 7 years. He has had much success in Normandy and Picardy, having won best album at the ANMs (Normand Music Awards) with all of his 3 albums, and having 4 number 2s. He has been a judge on "Téol" ("Star", the Normand equivalent of the "Got Talent shows) and has competed at the Festivalé pau Norgwéan 3 times. He is openly gay and in a relationship, and has campaigned throughout his life for LGBT rights, as well as working with former WorldVision contestant Julia Estiendre on a charity album to raise awareness of environmental problems, releasing a charity single with her.




I don't care
If they say I am
Crazy or stupid
Because, well, I am
And I don't care
Because with you
I don't need
Another love, darling

Sometimes I do
Things that I'll regret
No need to worry
Now I'm with you
So call me
Anything you want
Cause I can take a hit
Because of this love

I would do anything for this love
Yes, I would do anything for your love
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you

I would do
So much for you, my love
Just ask
And I am yours
It happens
Love happens sometimes
And if it is
True, say something

Does she love me?
That is what
I ask myself
But I know the answer
I'd die
Rather than leave you
That is
The force of our love

I would do anything for this love
Yes, I would do anything for your love
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you
I would do anything for this love
Yes, I would do anything for your love
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you

I would do it for you
I would do it for you
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you

I don't care
If I am crazy
Because

I would do anything for this love
Yes, I would do anything for your love
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you
I would do anything for this love
Yes, I would do anything for your love
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you

I would do it for you
I would do it for you
I would do, I would do it for you
Yes, I know
I would do it for you


As the song begins, the background shows a cartoony city like this, the buildings popping in one at a time as the sun "rises". Gerrad, wearing this suit and twirling an umbrella around. The end of the umbrella is a question mark, though what purpose this serves not even the design team for the song knows. Using the hologram technology, buildings that were grey and dreary become bright and colourful as Gerrad walks past them towards the centre of the stage. The cameras follow Gerrad as he walks, so that once he has past the building the holograms can be turned off as they are no longer in camera view. At the end of the first verse he has reached the centre of stage, with the cameras still focused on him.

Ne concale’ga
Si eg diralént
Föé ö stuðe
Paré qué einale’ga
Et ne concale’ga
Paré avé esön
Ne besonale’ga
Otaussit ador léb


As Gerrad begins singing the second verse, he throws his umbrella to the side and the production team found a way to explain the question mark umbrella; it's a representation of Gerrad losing his inhibitions and doubts and going head first into his relationship, but I digress. He then dnces to the beat and clicks his fingers and the cameras go around him, and no one is sure whether the dancing is awkward or cute.

Parin fale'ga
Chosanar qué regrale’ga
No beson grilir
Main eine'ga avé esön
Alo diralés
Quéchosa vödralé esa
Pouale’ga fal déscenale
Paré pau ador


As the chorus begins, the cameras zoom out to show dancers, holding more of the cartoony buildings or traffic lights with the green light lit up - the production teams says that you can decide what that one means, you - and I quote - 'dim-witted idiots'. They dance about - as you expect dancers to - and at the end of the chorus they form a funnel like shape which Gerrad - who the dancers were dancing around - walks through to the very front of the stage.

Falait ega quéchosa pau cet ador
Jé falait ega quéchosa pau esan ador
Jé falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Savale’ga
Falait ega cet pau esön


As the next verse begins, the dancers disperse to the right and the left and a microphone stand is thrown to Gerrad from a person just outside of the camera view. Gerrad then spins it around and holding it diagonally , he begins singing again. After the first four lines he puts it back up and - once again thank to the hologram technology the BNRT production team have had a brilliant time with, sun rays and colours come out of the microphone as the stand. Gerrad leaves the stand, using his hidden microphone once again as the cameras follow him to the left side of the stage, which he dances over to; he is joined by two women wearing this who dance around him as he sings.

Falait ega
Tan pau esön, egan léb
Justé demandalés
Et einale’ga esan
Pasalé ceta
Pasalé ador parin
Et si einalé ceta
Vran, diralés quéchozza


The background now shows a city at night, and the moon works its way to where the sun was . It has a cartoony face which fits perfectly with the cartoony feel. The lights darken a little bit to suit this, and little LED lights shine on the skirt bits of the women's dresses. They follow Gerrad as he move back towards the centre, the camera panning around him and the women. As he sings the first time, he adopts a pose like the thinker pose, but whilst still standing. He then carries on, almost appearing to be carried away by the women. He reaches the centre just before the chorus begins.

Eg adoraléd ara
Einalé ceta qué
Eg demandale’ga
Mé savale’ga er répons
Möralait ega
Avan que es laissaléta
Einalé ceta
Ar forzi pau nusan ador


During the chorus, more of the traffic light people return, along with people with cardboard streetlights and a cardboard car in the background, carried by a team of three people. Generally, a night time scene is created on the screen. A sign saying "Never Stop" is carried on to the stage (it is another cardboard shape) and approaches Gerrad, as if the message is made specifically for him. He dances around as people dance around him. The cameras pan around the stage, showing all of this.

Falait ega quéchosa pau cet ador
Jé falait ega quéchosa pau esan ador
Jé falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Savale’ga
Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega quéchosa pau cet ador
Jé falait ega quéchosa pau esan ador
Jé falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Savale’ga
Falait ega cet pau esön

Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Jé, savalés esa
Falait ega quéchosa


As the chorus ends the lights dim and a spotlight is left on Gerrad. The cameras focus on his face once again. The background now shows a night sky, with lights turning on and off as if they were twinkling. Just before the chorus, the cameras rapidly zoom out.

Ne concale’ga
Si einale’ga föé
Paré qué


As the chorus begins, there is a sudden explosion of light before the cameras reach a light level that doesn't burn people's eyes out. The background becomes a kaleidoscopic image made up of many cheery, happy colours (so not black or grey) and some of the dancers (not so many as to crowd the stage, but enough to make it feel full) return to the stage, along with artistic gymnasts with those lovely ribbons in different colours. Gerrad, standing on a podium, rises above all of it. The cameras pan around for most of the final chorus, but as the last lyrics are sung the cameras once again focus on Gerrad's face.

Falait ega quéchosa pau cet ador
Jé falait ega quéchosa pau esan ador
Jé falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Savale’ga
Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega quéchosa pau cet ador
Jé falait ega quéchosa pau esan ador
Jé falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Savale’ga
Falait ega cet pau esön

Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega cet pau esön
Falait ega, falait ega cet pau esön
Jé, savalés esa
Falait ega quéchosa


As the song ends, the crowd cheers loudly and Gerrad shouts, "Marci Esa" (for those of you not versed in Normand, which is a bit of an issue considering the entire song is in Normand, this means Thank You) and leaves the stage ready for the next act. That's it; what more do you want?

UCRTV- Live Coverage
Monterra, Kalosia

Daniel on the left. Jasper on the right.

Live coverage of the 43rd WorldVision Song Contest in Monterra, Kalosia, due to the joint bid from RTVK and ELKTEL (Elke and Elba) with your hosts, Daniel Richards and Jasper Hunt.


D: We are here in Kalosia. Great.
J: Cheer up!
D: I might as well say nothing before I upset the Kalosians.

1. Talvezout

D: I am not sure whether this is a good start to the edition or not.
J: It is certainly something different, song-wise. Interesting.
D: Yeah. It's okay I guess.
J: Nothing special.
D: Yeah. Something I expected.

2. Esta Lloviendo

J: Nice!
D: I liked it.
J: Better than Talvezout. Actually I really like it.
D: Me too. The supermen pushed me to my limit.
J: Mmmmhmm


3. Polkopia
D: Shall I be really honest with you; I didn't really like it.
J: I think Polkopia might do well, but they send these kind of songs.
D: In a non-English language. It's anoying.Can We move on to the next song, because I am a bit disappointed.
J: Staging was good, as per usual, but the song choice...Is just the same all the time. When last have you had a boy band? Or girl bland.
D: We haven't had one in 7 editions!
J: Shut up you.

4. Adab
J: Well, it has been rated Britonisea's most popular word. Redemption.
D: I feel a however coming on...
J: I didn't...It really, it wasn't my cup of tea.
D: Hmm, agreed.
J: Good for a debutant, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
D: Yeah, let's move on to Dreamplanet.
J: Who is sending this song based on The Doportedas Olympic Stadium Disaster; which happened a couple weeks back.
D: Well, let's see how the song goes along.

5. Dreamplanet

D: Umm....
J: Urgh...
D: Hmmm...
J: I'll start then. It's quite a...sad song. I don't think it is WorldVision material.
D: I mean, you could've had the same lyrics, but a different feel to it.
J: This happened recent, why are we listening to a 70s track?
D: That's the problem; to imporve, Dreamplanet needs to pick a modern song, a modern feel.
J: It was okay, but I don't think it's our winner tonight.
D: But it certainly isn't our loser. Certainly not. Anyways, let's move on to Estogium.

Knowing how these two songs will come out, I'll RP Them.
6. Estogium

J: A bit better Estogium, however it is a bit...old.
D: I think that the 12th place position won't come to them. But we'll see. You never know!
J: Moving swiftly on to "Alone" by Britonisea.
D: Come on let's get the ball rolling!

7. Britonisea

D: This is what I am talking about! Updated, Like two weeks new. and slow, though a belt. Very nice.
J: I agree. I think that Britonisea has a great song on their hands.
D: In my opinion, I think that this was better than Britonisea's winning song in WV41.
J: I agree. Hopefully this does very well. The staging is very old though, this contrasts with everything. Very nice.
D: Well only time will tell what position we will come in the rankings.
J: Apparently, if Britonisea goes through to the next contest, Britonisea will send a boy band!
D: That's something to look forward to.
J: Also, if the other nation (Estogium or Britonisea) gets lower than 47 points; Nightom will join, ultimately kicking Aloquirbe to the curb.
D: Unless both nations get less than 47.

8. Francilie

9. Free Republics

/Britonisea blocks coverage of the sexual intercourse section of the song. 12% of the Britonish Audience watching the contest has complained due to Sexual content being shown earlier on in the show. Due to this, Britonisea and the UCRTV Apologises on behalf of WorldVision and Free Republics. We now return to the WorldVision Song Contest held in Monterra, Kalosia due to the joint bid between RTVK and Ekktel of Elke and Elba. Again, we apologise/

D: That was sick.
J: Sexual harassment is not to be joked about, at all.
D: It is a disgusting form of a criminal act, and I am surprised that Kalosia didn't stop this from happening on their stage, oh, I'd expect that from Kalosia.
J: I don't think it was Kalosia's fault, dude.
D: Look, there is still liquid on the floor. Disgusting. Abominable.
J: Urgh, why did you bring that up?
D: Look, Free Republics, that was not nice at all.
J: Yeah, you're right.Yeah, but, Kyle Bolton, Koby Theodore and Rule Theriault are hot.
D: That's no excuse. No excuse. And snap out of it....You're married...To a woman.
J: Oh yeah. I forgot. Love ya Hilda!

10. The Sarian

J: It was alright.
D: I was cringing. But looking at the other songs so far, this song will probably get lots of points from us.
J: Interesting.
D: Well, let's carry on. Mister X is next up.

11. Mister X

D: He got the looks. He got the stage. He got the lyrics...He ain't got the voice.
J: I know right.
D: I liked it. But you know, doubt Britonisea will give them points.
J: Well we always do for some reason.
D: Yeah. We want boy bands though.
J: From Mister X anyways.

12. Natanians and Nosts

D... Ummm
J: I am sorry, I didn't like the tune. I am just sorry.
D: Me too, life goes on!
J: So does the competition!

13. Normandy and Picardy

D: Well, this is different isn't it?
J: Well I couldn't watch the performance, too busy looking at the lyrics...In English.
D: It's an alright song, I can see some points flying that way.
J: Maybe, just Maybe.

14. Volcanoc

J: Well, this is different isn't it?
D: What year is it? 1977? I thought it was 21st century.
J: I know right, I loved the last part though, very extravagant.
D: Other than that, that screech was disgusting!
J: Let's go on to San Llera!

15. San Llera

D: Didn't know there was a word in the English Dictionary spelt... "Hellllllll"
J: Me neither.
D: Nevertheless, It's an alright song.
J: Quite Seductive.
D: Agreed.
J: Sword Bloke is next.

16. The Sword Bloke

J: I didn't understand the first things he said, I don't like it.
D: I didn't like it either. Let's move on to 17th.
J: 17th is the most won position but can Ethane maintain that lead?

17. Ethane

TBA

18. Gregoryisgodistan

D: Pretty Interesting.
J: That's it.
D: The song is quite...short.

19. Santaclausisgodistan

D: Major improvement from 5 hours to 5 seconds.
J: Yep, beautiful!
D: Oh My Gosh! They're so getting points.

20. Palaiologos II

21. Kalosia
D: Meh.
J: They can't win.
D: Meh.
J: Not because it is a bad song, it's great, but if they win two times in a row, that's unfair.
D: I agree.
J: Let's move on. We should win again. :-)

22. Zovorossia

D: THIS IS AWESOME!
J: WHOOOP!
D: I like it.
J: Me too.
D: 12 points?
J: Methinks.

23. Kasanova Koratica

D: What language are they speaking? It certainly isn't an English Song.
J: I didn't understand any of this, good tune nevertheless.
D: Let's just move on because I am a bit scared.

24. Todlichebujoku

J: I actually loved it!
D: It sounded quite great, I loved it, yes.
J: I am not even joking...It got me moving.
D: Agreed. Anyways, let's carry on.

25. Bolge Arazi

26. Monaeroglisseurest Pleindanguilles

D: Still working on how to pronounce this nation.
J: Better than Normandy and Picardy to be honest.
D: It wasn't bad.
J: I didn't understand it.

27. Missus X

J: QPR should've won.
D: Yeah, totally!

28. Gim

J: Good...
D: I was okay, however, I preferred "Dumb Dumb Dumb"
J: This contest never ends, let's go to the next song.
D: Well done Gim, next up is Arioslavia.
J: With a tune we heard before.

29. Arioslavia

J: Heard this somewhere before. I will do some investigation.
D: I definitely heard it somewhere before.
J: Meh, it was an okay performance.
D: I agree. Next up is Izmedu!

30. Izmedu

J: Izmedu, what a lovely nation. You know, Izmedu is probably one of the reasons why Britonisea won '41.
D: Why do you say that?
J: I think inspiration from Izmedu's win was shown in 41.
D: Do you really think so?
J: I do think so!

31. Associated Godlands

J: We get it, we get it...
D: I liked the tune...
J: I know right! LOL Bad lyrics though.
D: A slight improvement.

Monica Ferrella-Casablanca
Tune: Monica Aspelund-Lapponia (Finland EVSC 1977)

Following a dissapointing finish in Caen, coming 27th, VTV announced they would withdraw from WV 44 if they failed to make it 15th or higher. They are sending Monica Ferrella, from Urbels up in the north of Volcanoc, singing an entirely Volcanoc language song. After the postcard, the conductor is introduced.

Please welcome the conductor, Evric Reeved.


The fans clap for Evric as Monica, in a white Kathmandu suit, comes on stage. She is with 4 male backing singers, 1 on piano and 3 dressed like clowns towards the back of the stage. The orchestra gets going and the Piano starts up.

Na na na na, na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Casablanca, evj yo Casablanca, evj jnpny hey no, met no, ban Shaka li par ho reed.


A sun appears to shine in the background, as Monica continues singing.

Evan Ep tee hopalog
Ey vintence Ev me hopalong
Be kucher er as momey
El lt Ben sach himber rek!
El viko dipi labaret
Es jikn for tre pep!


Monica and the 3 backing singers at the back of the stage start clapping for the chorus.

Hey! Ba ba ba,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba

Casablanca, evj yo Casablanca, evj jnpny hey no, met no, ban Shaka li par ho reed.


The music goes back on.

Ev lipo under markaraf
Un reso Keira's me lapta haff
En jevn hap! In gen mifulaf!
En duch e crafaf de lip
En cruven mount ey flooper
I Kreshn matte flook!


Monica starts clapping again.

Hey! Ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Casablanca, Evj yo Casablanca, evj jypny hey no, met no, ban shaka Li par ho reed!

Monica starts making bird and mountain movements, as all instruments bar the violin, piano and drums stop.
Hoy, hoy hoy hoy ev bimou kar met!
Wada wada!


The backing singers now join in the singing, with the 3 back ones singing.
()= Backing Singers
Ooh... (Wada wada wada wada wada wa
Wada wada wada wada wada wada hey!)


The pianist joins in some singing as well
(Casablanca, Casablanca, Casablanca, Casablanca)


Everyone starts singing together again.

Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da Ma da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!!!

Monica holds the final note for 11 seconds.

Casablanca, evj yo Casablanca, evj jnpny hey no, met no, ban shaka Li par ho reed!


The backing singers sing the last line.
Wa da wa da, wa da wa da wa da wa, wa da wa da wa da wa da wa da wa da wa da hey!


Everyone claps for the performance as the 5 come together and bow. A Volcanoc cheer is made, but the large booing of the Swordean crowd is much larger than the cheering of the Volcanics.

Radio Televisão Dreamplanet - WorldVision 43


Welcome to WorldVision 43, in Monterra, Kalosia, I'm Afonso Guereirro, This will be the first WorldVision transmitted by RTD, our Dreamplanetian act has a bit of story to it, it is about the Doportedas Disaster, something we don't like to talk about, but will be hard to avoid, we are song number 5, finally the act placement has finally got us under 10, but who's the next 2, well, Estogium and Britonisea... Another tough pill to swallow, Dreamplanet is looking for a win, this is our 6th WorldVision appearance, last time we got 17th, which was our highest ever result, but ever since our debut in 37, we have never recieved 12 points, yes, no one ever said our song was the best. Here we go, good luck to Jorge Paulista...

1-Talvezout
It's a good song from Talvezout, but i'm still baffled to see what the song is about, but a great song nonetheless, sometimes is more about rhythm.

2-Esta Lloviendo
Great song from Esta Lloviendo! It's one of those classic songs from them and Talvezout, great stuff!

3-Polkopia
Polkopia singing in their native language makes me search a translation... Oh, i've got it, It's a up-lifting song, how nice of them. Once again, Polkopia with the big guns.

4-Adab
Nice song from the debutants, it is very touching and catchy at the same time, but debutants normally don't do well, let's see how he does this time around, who knows, he can have a better debut than us.

5-Dreamplanet
This is the moment that we've been fearing of since of the draws of the songs have been made public, but the crowd is absolutely livid with what they've just seen, very emotional stuff from early on, it must be akward in that greenroom.

6-Estogium


7-Britonisea
Britonisea's nerves must've been high, from what i heard from Jorge, she took the song, but hey, she coped with it to make a great song none the less!

8-Francille


9-Free Republics
First of all, this WorldVision Song Contest seems to be "Discuss your controversies in a song, contest", this is the 3rd time that it's about something that happened which led to international conflicts, and the 2nd that happened in the World Cup cycle, and i don't think we're to blame, it could be a coincidence, or a bandwagon which has just left the station.
All the similarities aside, it's a love song which then has a sick twisted turn about rape, but hey, what can you expect from Free Republics?

10-The Sarian


11-Mister X
Great song from Mister X! One of the contenders for the victory here, another love song, but hey, that's how you get the points, and how do we know? We never entered a love song, i think... Maybe 37 before the- i'm not going there, not going to say it on international tv. Anyway, This will be a strong favorite for many.

12-Natanians and Nosts


13-Normandy And Picardy
... I'm sorry? I don't speak your language, and i can't find a translation. It leaves me nothing to say.

Update (Later in the contest): Oh, the translation wasn't in on time, here it is, It's another love song, but a love song with a message, be who you want to be! Great stuff from N&P, shame that the translation wasn't available back then.

14-Volcanoc


15-San Llera
Oh dear her dress is on fire, first incident, check.
The song? Oh, ok. Not too bad, but it was a bit bland and generic.

16-Shop Owner
Ladies and Gentelmen, the low of WorldVision.

17-Ethane


18-Gregoryisgodistan
10 out of 10 song! Just kidding, but hey, he forgot to write a song, what can we say?

19-Santaclausisgodistan
Well, the song ended before it got worse, thanks reindeer.

20-Palaiologos II


21-Kalosia
Now for anyone out there, that thought Dreamplanet had a chance of winning, this song just kicks you in the nads as you fly into reality by realising that sending a song about a disaster won't work. I am left speechless, we might aswell go home.

22-Zovorussia
Now, these are beginners, but they have left their stamp and it is a great song! Amazing from the debutants, maybe this can be the debutant's edition.

Francesca Dimonde - I Never Knew (Tune)

Francesca Dimonde walks onto the stage, wearing a light blue gown. The stage background matches her dress, and she appears to be sitting on a bridge over a tranquil pond. She begins to sing.

I saw you standing by the lake
When the earth began to shake
When I saw you
I started to believe in something new

When I touched you you were surreal
Your body had such a warm feel

Ohh ohh

You were supernatural
Transcendent of this Earth
I thought it’d be ephemeral
But I got more than my worth

You were vast and magical
I always thought you’d set me free

I wanted to be so close to you
So you could show me all you could do
Coming more close to you
You showed me things I never knew


Her gown suddenly turns bright red, as does the rest of the stage. The pond catches fire.

Hellllllllllll
Of it’s existence I never knew

Hell, of it’s existence I never knew
Before I met you

You brought out the best of me
It’s time to meet the worst
I hope you die soon
So you can go to Hell first

All those things I did for you
The final thing I’ll do to you is kill you

You brought out the best of me
It’s time to meet the worst
I hope you die soon
So you can go to Hell first

All those things I did for you
The final thing I’ll do to you is kill you

I wanted to be so close to you
So you could show me all you could do
Coming more close to you
You showed me things I never knew

Hellllllllll

Hell, of it’s existence I never knew

Coming more close to you
You showed me things I never knew

Hellllllllll
Of it’s existence I never knew

Hell, of it’s existence I never knew
Before I met you

I never knew, ohh, I never knew, ohh, I never knew


A bit Dimonde's of dress catches fire. She calmly puts it out and walks off stage as several people come to extinguish the stage.

Shop Owner - Ballad of Death
Tune: Raphael Gualazzi - Madness of Love (Italy EVSC 2011)

Shop Owner steps onto the stage. One-Hit Jimson and the Meltons are already on there with violin, trumpet and tuba. Shop Owner sits down, and starts playing the piano.
All these guys next to me, I killed them, all you see
I like getting my gun out and going on a rage!
I'm immortal so I can blow up the nation if I like!
People think it's an honour to be killed by me!

The lights go from white to black, red and green.
Everyone come and see!
All the bombings in town!
I caused them, don't you know!
All the time!
And seeing all the bodies it just makes you feel so GOO-OO-OOD!

The tuba starts blowing. The piano continues, as Shop Owner goes into the next verse.
In the day
In the night
Mark my words, all of the time
If you get killed then that means that you'll go-go to hell

A guillotine is rolled onto the stage. Shop Owner puts a dummy in the guillotine and chops it's head off.
Everyone comes to me!
Seeing blood is a wonderful thing!
I do it for one of my 86 hobbies including killing!
Don't be scared, little boy
Just grab some blood, kill someone it makes you feel so GOO-OO-OOOD!

Maxky Melton starts blowing the trumpet. One-Hit Jimson throws his tuba onto the ground as he hates it. Marcus Melton is playing the violin. A 6-year old Swordean both comes on screen and grabs the blood of a spectator member who just killed himself. The boy plays with it, having been raised around Ownerism.
Even with all the gore, dark and light, not bloody anymore
When I had a wife I played with blood all the time!
Even of you say, blood's violent, have a try, it is FUN!
SPLENDID BLOOD! SPLENDID BLOOD! SPLENDID BLOOD! SPLENDID BLOOD!

Shop Owner finishes playing the piano and stands up to take a bow, while everyone throws their instruments into the crowd. The child jumps off stage to his mummy.

A couple of naked idiots who 'stole' the WorldVision trophy climb on stage. With their privates being revealed to the world, the men announce Shop Owner the winner, before a Kalosian security guard jumps on these men. After he finds out he's not the real winner of the contest and that that trophy is fake, Shop Owner executes the two streakers live on stage. H ether says,
Shop Owner; fooled by nobody, live from Monterra! Good night y'all! Can't wait to get the real trophy!

17th- Ethane
The Way In
Times Running Out
Language: English
Image
Image of The Way In.
Centre is Olly Adams, the lead singer
Left is Luke Samuels, he plays the synthesizers, keyboards, bass guitar, acoustic bass guitar
Right is Taylor Dinehead, who plays the synthesizers, keyboards, beats, samples, sampling, sequencers, laptop, acoustic guitar


The Way In
The Way In was a surprise choice according to a poll of who everyone expected to be chosen to go to Ethane's first ever WorldVision. Many people expected Anya Lasavia to represent them as this event, as she was already quite popular internationally from her pop music. Originally, she was chosen to represent Ethane at this event, but she had to pull out because of voice issues at the auditions for this event. So Ethane voted in The Way In to represent them at their first ever World Vision. A fairly new band, they wowed people at the auditions with their amazing singing, and their extraordinary talent. This group is not one to miss.
They were set up 4 years ago under the name Days Gone By, and released their debut album with SRL(Star Records Local), who they got discovered by at a talent show in Ethane, called Tonight. This album was not very successful as they were not well known, as they were new to the music scene. About 7 months after this, they released their second album called Again, My Love. This album proved to be their breakthrough album, which sent them rocketing up in popularity, with their song shooting to 3rd in the charts from no where. Many commentators compared the rise of Days Gone By to be similar to that of Lives, who were a rock group in Ethane in the 80's.
After a year long hiatus after their second album, they came back off their break, and rebranded themselves as The Way In. They immediately hit gold, with their song 'Gold', which reached 2nd in the singles charts, followed up by another hit single, 'This Kind of Love', which sold a record number of copies in its first week, 2 million in Ethane to be precise. They are building up to a full album release in December. This song, Times Running Out, is being released in Ethane as it is performed here at World Vision, and is being released internationally over the web next week. It will be available from all online music retailers for 99p, or in December, you can buy their full album, which will contain 12 songs, for £8.99.



As the three boys step out onto the stage, screams are heard from some fan girls, who seem to be clustered near the front, obviously trying to get as close to their dream group as possible. Screams of Olly are heard from the girls, before everyone is asked to quieten down, ready for the performance to start. All 3 boys get into their positions, with Olly standing centre stage, Luke on the far left by the bass guitar, and Taylor at the back- right of the stage, in front of the laptop, and by the keyboards, as he would be controlling the sampling and playing the keyboard, effectively the DJ. The lights go out, leaving only the safety lights on, so no one can see the stage. Slowly, a quiet sound starts, with holographic Autumn leaves falling amongst the band members, only dimly lit by a faint, glowing light on the LED screen at the back of the stage. Taylor begins to play the keyboard as a bright light shines on him, while on the other side of the stage, another bright light shines onto Luke, who is playing the bass guitar. Videos start to play on the LED screen of 'flashbacks' of Olly and a girl's time together.. As Olly starts to sing, a light descends onto him, lighting up the ground, which has an autumnal feel to it, with holographic leaves projected all over the stage, lit up by the spotlights on the 3 band members. When Olly sings ''all a blur'', the video 'flashbacks' go all blurry before fading out and being replaced with an autumnal scene to back up the holographic autumn leaves falling.

Time is running out
The days are passing by
all a blur
Don’t leave it til the end
I try but I just can’t


The autumnal scene changes to a darker tone, to represent time passing. More Autumn leaves are falling, building up into piles on the floor (holographic). The holographic leaves begin to get blown around by the wind, swirling all over the stage, creating a windy autumnal scene on the stage. The spotlights on the other two band members turn off and are replaced by red lights shining from behind them. Olly steps forward with mic in hand and smiles.

And all……
this time………
I need more time
I need more time


The autumnal scene on the LED screen slowly fades away, even though the holographic autumn leaves are still falling, completely disappearing by the time Olly sings ''Yeah it goes''. The spotlight on Olly turns off and is also replaced by red lights beaming down on him from behind, creating a dark atmosphere. Olly steps forward another step. As Olly sings ''flys past me'', a group of black birds sweep over his head.

Oh its too short this time
This clock of mine
No more time
Yeah it goes, flys past me


The autumn leaves fade and are replaced with snow, which falls down, coating the ground in a white blanket of snow. A wintry scene appears on the LED screen at the back, with harsh, flashing white lights pulsing through the wintry night scene (throughout the chorus). A few dancers emerge from the darkness in the middle. As the chorus begins, the lights start to flash, and more colourful stage lights beam into the audience, creating a disco- like effect during the chorus. The dancers start dancing, with their moves changing the floor wherever they go, to a redder look, pulsing like a heart. The snow continues to fall.

This time of mine it just ain’t enough
I can’t express my love
I can’t express my love
I can’t live with it why am I evading
I should just say it
I should just let her
know….


The lights fade away again, returning to how they were before the chorus, but still with the wintry scene. The lred lights dim, and are replaced with a white spotlight which focuses on the keyboard player and the bassist, until Olly starts to sing again, and then a spotlight shines on him as he steps forward. The snow continues to fall, building up on the ground, with the wintry scene continuing on the LED screen behind them.

Time won’t start again
You can’t redo it again
Why can’t I say it to her
And all I really want
Is to start again


The white spotlights on the singers are replaced with red lights behind them,except for Olly, who is tracked by a white spotlight as he begins to walk down the runway, the snow flying up beside him at every step.

And all….
This time…..
You need a sign
I don’t know why


The wintry scene begins to fade away on the LED screen.

Oh its too short this time
This clock of mine
No more time
Yeah it goes, flys past me


Olly reaches the end of the runway, and sings the chorus at the end of the runway. A spring scene slowly appears onto the LED screen and the snow begins to thaw away, being replaced by small buds that start to grow. Holographic clouds appear, and the stage is bathed in a yellow light.

This time of mine it just ain’t enough
I can’t express my love
I can’t express my love
I can’t live with it why am I evading
I should just say it
I should just say it


Olly sits down at the edge of the runway. The dancers start a new choreographic routine.

All this time I should of showed you
my love
my love
All this time I should of showed you
my love
my love


The screen suddenly turns to a summers day, with everything fully grown, and all the holographic plants fully grown. The stage is now very yellow, with yellow and green lights flashing into the audience. Olly stands right at the end of the runway, singing this.

This time of mine it just ain’t enough
I can’t express my love
I can’t express my love
I can’t live with it why am I evading
I should just let y’know
I should just let y’know


Olly jumps off the runway into the crowd, and sings to a women standing in the crowd by the end of the runway (note: she was put there for this). A spotlight focuses on him singing to her as everything else dims down, and a red glow is present throughout the arena.

No this time of mine it just ain’t enough
But I’m gonna tell her
No time won't stop me


The dancers start swirling around the stage. In the 30 seconds after Olly stops singing, a breeze is created throughout the arena as flashbacks are once again played on the screen. Olly walks back up the runway and back to the stage, sending red pulses along the runway floor as he walks back to the stage. As he reaches the stage, the dancers collapse the ground as everything cuts out, the flashbacks disappear and all the lights turn out. Then, 1 solitary white light is shone onto the group, which is now all together. Olly shouts ''thank you all'' into the microphone and they all walk off the stage to cheers from the audience and screams from the fan girls.

Song: I forgot to Write a Song (AKA Gregoryisgodistan Nul Points)
Singer: Singer TBD
Tune: The Alphabet Song

Singer TBD walks up to the stage and apologizes for forgetting to write a song, then sings what he has.

I forgot to write a song
I forgot to write a song
I forgot to write a song
I forgot to write a song
I forgot to write a song
That is why I wrote this song


Then he bows to a statue of Lord Almighty Gregory and walks off the stage.

19. Santaclausisgodistan

Song: "Ho Ho Ho"
Tune: Jingle Bells
Singer: Santa Claus

Santa Claus (a different Santa Claus from the last two to perform) is carried onto the stage on a sleigh pulled by reindeer. He steps up to the microphone and begins to sing:

Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho,
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho


Santa Claus then looks behind him and screams as he is run over and trampled to death by the reindeer, who then run into and terrorize the audience. Unfortunately, he is unable to complete the song.
