This is the official commentary by Britonisea's International Television Company [BITC]
Live Coverage of the 71st WorldVision Song Contest in Bright Falls, Main Nation Ministry with your hosts Rigas Jengiz and Cole Heiman.
Rigas Jengiz: Hello everybody, my name is Rigas Jengiz.
Cole Heiman: And I am Cole Heiman and we are your commentators for the evening. We will be taking you through all the proceedings for tonight in Bright Falls, Main Nation Ministry.
Rigas: In all honesty, I don't really know that much about Main Nation Ministry, I've only been here for a couple of days - but I can assure you that it's very different from home.
Cole: Yeah, I get from them that they don't really like Britonish people. Then again, they don't really know us very well.
Rigas: I am sure we will win them over with our fantastic entry by Younes Wright-Harel, who will be singing the song "Where is He?" tonight!
Cole: He is performing number 19 tonight so yes, we do have quite a bit to wait before hearing our entry but you are in for a treat tonight!
Rigas: Though, we can't guarantee that. Since we've taken a break from the WorldVision Song Contest, Antahbrantahstan and Nekoni won for the first time - congratulations to them! They both deserved their victories, I must say.
Cole: Oh look, the stage is getting ready to welcome us.
Rigas: We are currently holding the WorldVision Song Contest in a theatre, which is different from the usual arena. I guess it's a nice change - though, I do like myself a big arena.
Cole: I can see where you're coming from. I feel a bit cramped. Nevertheless, I'm sure the contest won't be affected; the stage is huge!
Rigas: Looking at the bookies, it looks like both ABEN nations could do pretty well tonight. I know for certain that our friends working at RVC are going to want to do much better than they have been doing recently.
Cole: Yeah, they haven't been in the top ten since...WorldVision Song Contest 63, I believe. Though, their participation hasn't been great.
Rigas: They want to set the record straight, tonight. They'll be performing 1st tonight. Other nations to watch out for tonight include Besen, one of my personal favourites, with a fun and funky song. We've got a couple of bangers throughout the competition too.
Cole: Adab, I hear, is one to watch out for as well. One of my personal favourites tonight is the entry from Mercedini. But as you said, Rigas, there are multiple bangers tonight. It seems like we're about to get things started now.
Rigas: I think it's time guys. Let's do this!
00. Opening Act #1
Cole: So that was a rather interesting opening act, wasn't it? I mean, it started ahead of time so technically I am not sure whether it was an opening act and rather a...pre-opening act if you know what I'm saying.
Rigas: I like the rocky elements to the Opening Act, but it isn't my usual cup of tea. Oh, let's listen to the...leader...
***
Cole: How awesome, the sunset at exactly 8 pm when the contest started! How did they plan that one?
Rigas: According to accuweather.com, I believe that the sun actually set quite some time ago. Though, let's just let them have their fun, shall we? It's time for the actual opening act of the evening.
00. Opening Act #2
Rigas: Yasssss hunny! What a fantastic way to start the WorldVision Song Contest. I mean, as I said earlier, the music from this place isn't my usual cup of tea but I was totally digging the opening act.
Cole: Yeah, I totally agree with you, Rigas. I really do enjoy songs like this. I really liked the lyrics too. Who is the Leader? Is he the Leader of the whole country or?
Rigas: So much for making the WorldVision Song Contest apolitical.
Cole: Right. It's finally the start of the festival. We now head over to Estogium. They are sending Kelly Foster with the song, "Prove You Wrong."
