The crowd waits in anticipation for the show to begin inside the Stadja pau Caena, and viewers across the multiverse are turning on their various viewing devices, ready to watch one of the world's greatest shows. As the official opening for the contest plays everything is being set up for the opening...
As the introductory screen fades, the viewers at home are met by an image of a young girl walking down a street in the middle of Caen during a busy day of shopping. However, all the people seem to go around her as she walks towards the camera. When she is just in front of the camera she points her hand out to it, and a grey dot appears. She then pulls her finger down and a blue swipe appears. This is the middle of the logo, the rest of which she proceeds to "paint". Once this is done, the image zooms in on the grey dot, and then fades to an image of a random field in Normandy and Picardy, and there we meet the host Maria Taruenal and a series of traditional dancers. She looks towards the cameras and says "Let's get this party started guys!" and the music begins playing, with Maria singing.
Yeah...
Welcome to Normandy...
Yeah...
The men around Maria pick up their instruments, and a series of others come from behind the camera and begin dancing a traditional Normand dance, the Neumadanja, dancing around Maria in the centre. All are dressed in traditional costume, and the cameras pan around although they are focused on Maria
We welcome you to Normandy
A land of warmth, of love and romance
Once you come you'll never want to leave
And we're happy to have you here tonight
You know you want to
Dance and sing with us
We know we want to
Show you our land
And you won't believe what we have in store
You know you want to
Dance and sing with us
We know we want to
Show you our land
And you won't believe...
During the chorus, Maria seems to go off script and starts asking the director and the dancers questions instead of singing the lyrics, before the music cuts off at the end of the chorus.
Why are we in this field?
Why am I singing this?
Shouldn't we be in Caen,
Getting this party started?
None of this is relevant
To this contest in any way
That's it I'm done
Stop filming this now
The directors are seen walking towards Maria, as if angry with her, but the cameras have turned away and have seemingly made the journey to Caen, travelling through streets full of fans before entering the stadium were Maria is seen standing in the centre of the stage.The lights flash and Maria looks up towards the camera that are zooming in on her, and the background is flashing with hotpink and white.
Opening Act
Maria Taruenal - Miss Party Girl
Tune:Bubblegum Bitch - Marina and the Diamonds
There isn't much staging for this, other than the cameras panning around the stage and Maria singing, sometimes into the camera and sometimes into the chorus. The background slowly changes from the white and hot pink to a sea of webcam feeds, showing fans from each country wishing their country will. Generally, there is a great commotion in the stadium as Maria sings. During the bridge, the lights darken a bit and the cameras zoom on Maria, as well as the wind machine being utilised for the first time (and probably not the last), but after that everything returns to how it was, except the background is made up of white and hot pink stripes which are forming a wattle fence-like shape.
Oh I see you standing there
Looking sad and down
But there's a party on tonight
So get up and come around
I don't care if the world is weighing you down
We can fly tonight
So when you're feeling like a wreck
Just click your fingers, I will be there
To turn your world on its head
Just leave all that's bad behind
So just let go, welcome to my world
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
Leave your problems at home, babe
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
Lose the frock, lose the walk
And forget the way you talk
You won't be needing them tonight, so come on babe
Feel great, grab your mates and have an f'ing ball
Oh, just have some fun
So when the world gets you feeling down
Just click your fingers, and I will come
To make your life fun again
Just say the words and off we go
So just let go, welcome to my world
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
Leave your problems at home, babe
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
You know you want, you want to have fun
So open, just open your eyes
So just let go, welcome to my world
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
Leave your problems at home, babe
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
So just let go, welcome to my world
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
Leave your problems at home, babe
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
I'm gonna be your Miss Party Girl
As the song finishes the crowd cheers loudly and the background changes to show the WHF logo for this edition. Maria walks to front of the stage, and begins to speak.
Welcome Multiverse, to one of the biggest spectacles in the world, WHF! (the crowd cheers) Welcome to Caen, host of this contest (and hopefully the next) (some in the crowd laugh). Tonight, _ countries will compete for a trophy or whatever it is we give them, and the right to host the contest next edition. So, before I begin rambling on...
Let WHF 24 begin!
