Contest Theme
plays immediately before the contest begins, with a projected video montage of various local scenes and natural landmarks, using time-lapse and helicopter/drone-style footage
Opening Act:
Hannes and No Friends - Excited
Tune: Tiësto ft. Matthew Koma - Wasted
Hannes, in urban street clothes (hoodie, skinny jeans and high tops) is bouncing about on a bed on stage, miraculously keeping his shoes off the bed. He seems extremely happy
We're so excited we can taste it
So happy that we're bouncing in our beds
Sure this stage looks kind of small, we'll be bouncing off the walls
But we're excited, can't you taste it
That grin is infectious
It's like a party goin' yeah yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna dance all through today, it doesn't matter what they say
We're so excited we can taste it
Oh oo oh oo oh oo oh
He stops bouncing about and stands up in front of the bed, a bit more serious now.
Maybe our world's not friendly
Every day there's a fight
But we can end the fighting
So we can dance before we die
So we're gonna be all right
A quick smile, and then he's back to bouncing about on the bed
We're so excited we can taste it
So happy that we're bouncing in our beds
Sure this stage looks kind of small, we'll be bouncing off the walls
But we're excited, can't you taste it
Oh oo oh oo oh oo oh
He whips out what looks like the strange love child of a broom and a jet ski (a streamlined dirt bike with no wheels?) and straddles it. A projector plays footage of Fauligekaikobu streets around him
Cruising on my luuta1
With people from all the world
Call me a kilpa poika2
In this sweet Steinminato3 pearl
And we're gonna be all right
He stows the vehicle away and dances around the stage. To be honest he's bounding about to the beat of the music more than anything else
We're so excited we can taste it
It's like a party goin' yeah yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna dance all through today, it doesn't matter what they say
We're excited, can't you taste it
Oh oo oh oo oh oo oh
He is now literally bouncing off the walls
We're so excited we can taste it
So happy that we're bouncing in our beds
Sure this stage looks kind of small, we'll be bouncing off the walls
Yeah we're excited, can't you taste it
Oh oo oh oo oh oo oh
Sweaty but grinning happily, he waves as the song ends
1 - a small personal aerial vehicle, similar in function to a motorcycle but less dangerous; literally "broom"
2 - "racer boy"
3 - a nickname for Fauligekaikobu, composed of Stein "stone/rock" and minato "harbor/port"
Kirsikka Blumenthal, a young actress starring in a wildly popular SterGo100 teen show, arrives on the stage wearing a voluminous skirt. She is greeted by a cheer from the home audience
She smiles a bit awkwardly for a second and then begins.
"Hello everyone and welcome to Junior World Hit Festival 3! I think we're all ready to start competing again after last edition- maybe someone will actually win!"
A quick tense awkward moment is experienced by various broadcasting executives
"So welcome back to Tödlichebujoku and welcome to Fauligekaikobu, where we just had Hannes and No Friends perform live for you- don't worry he's coming back during voting with Friends for his last Junior World Hit Fest song 'Papa Got Eaten By Hirvió'!"
The audience cheers- some of the international audience members are confused as to how that song even got entered into JWHF2 in the first place
"Of course, I'd like to say this is a pretty special edition- the first competitive Junior World Hit Fest since its debut, the first time a World Hit Fest has been hosted in a venue as, um, cozy as this, the first time Viisi Vanhaa Maitomiestá xD have hosted... hey, we might not even have a tie for first place this time!"
The members of the audience who have followed WHF for a while erupt into laughter
"Now I'm sure you're all waiting for me to get off the stage and for the contest to start, so I'll just say... Let the show begin! Go Roch and good luck to all!"
Everyone cheers, and random neighbors watching the show from the balcony (listening via transmission) clap, happy for her to finally shove off
