Opening
Parade of Nations & Introduction
Offical Theme "Alive"
Nena Arena was lit up with 15,000 fans waving purple flashlights, cheering and clapping. A camera swooped round to show the space, but kept it's vision of the centre stage, which was currently jumping from colour to colour along with the beat of the opening theme. The claps of the audience were loud and abrupt, encouraged by the beginning of the Parade of Nations, where each nation's representative could walk along through the audience holding their flag and up onto the stage as a united group. Firstly a short blackout aided in the intensity of the atmosphere. All of the audience could be seen one by one screaming out in joy, a beautiful sight to behold.
And then, beginning with the first nation performing in the running order, an LED image of the country's flag flashed on the giant screen at the back of the stage. The music thumped as Eva Almost worked their way through the crowds, waving their nationality high above their head. A moment of pride for each competitor, one by one, they all were cheered for as they slowly began to form a crowd at the front of the stage. Arm in arm every country's performer gave support to the adding number of people.
18 countries were gloriously presented in front of the audience, ready for the time of their lives. The theme tune had begun to come to a close when a massive voice announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, please give a huge warm welcome to your host tonight, Marina Calita!"
Another blackout occurred, and quickly was replaced by an enormous ray of light pink engulfed the main stage and leaked back into the audience. Only screams could be heard from her masses of supporters, who were dying to see her. Differentiated now were Besenians and the international fans, as Besenians jumped out of their place at her entrance.
Marina was seen wearing a gorgeous red ballgown which hugged her waist but left room for a delightful sequin pattern at the arms and at the bottom of the dress. She simply looked astonishing, and came out from the back with a big smile, greeting the audience. She quickly said hello to all of the contestants as they drifted off back to the green room, which ironically was a shade of blue. She placed the microphone to her lips.
"Salut! Hello! Ciao! Hallo! How are you all?"
The audience cheers.
"So listen everyone, I'm your host Marina and-"
She stops as the crowd gets too loud for her to continue her speech. She laughs it off.
"Haha, thank you! So I'm your host Marina Calita, don't know if you know me? What a great crowd, wow!"
The camera focuses on the Besenian act, who laughs as the audience screams at her once again."
"Welcome to the 72nd edition of the Worldvision Song Contest in Lipa, Besen! I'm so glad that our country finally gets this opportunity to host this thing, it's huge! I have always loved this show, and I'm proud to say that it's coming home. For the international fans, we hope to impress and give you a fantastic experience tonight."
Cheers, claps and laughs make up the sound of the arena. The camera shows a man who actually cries with joy. Then it swings to show off the international flag-wavers, who interact with the camera.
"So- with all of that emotional stuff out of the way, let's get to some technicalities of tonight's show- let's take a look at how you can vote for your favourites once all artists have performed..."
On all screens at home, an image of the order of nations is shown, along with the specific numbers audiences are able to place a vote to.
"Are you ready Lipa?! I said, are you ready?! Let the Worldvision Song Contest begin!"
A swooshing sound effect embraces the arena as Britonisea gets ready for the first performance of the night.
