[Normandy and Picardy]

Normand WHF 52 Entrant Revealed
Hélène Pêcheur to represent Normandy and Picardy with her new song, "Silence"

---

Listen Here | Stream Here

---

She's a talented artist who has certainly made her mark in the Normand music scene in recent years, especially amongst the country's alternative scene but even gaining wider chart success with her own unique brand of rock, and now Hélène Pêcheur will be flying the flag for Normandy and Picardy at the World Hit Festival with her song, "Silence" (which I hope needs no translation). The track, and the fact Hélène will be representing the country, was revealed simultaneously on SRNP 1, Radio Caen, PicRadio and on the Derrida Show on SRNP 3, hosted by Normand Head of Delegation Simone Derrida, who helped to handpick Hélène. Such an introduction is unprecedented for a Normand act , and reflective of the clout that the new Head of Delegation, buoyed by her success last time in managing to achieve a 4th place with her new methods, is able to command, especially due to her long experience in radio. The song is also topping the viral charts on virtually all platforms within Normandy and Picardy, so it would certainly seem she has won over the home audience.

During the interview, Hélène joked, "You're like a bloodhound, you know, Simone; you have this incredible ability to know what people are up to, where the next hit is coming from. Let's hope they keep coming from me!". That should be no problem for an artist who has already won 3 Cherbourg College of Music Awards including Best Female Singer and Album of the Year for her 2017 album, "Le Déluge", although if she is not careful she might not make it too much longer. Hélène is well known for her stunts both on and off stage, a fact which has drawn the scorn of some, who even as her role as entrant was being confirmed took to social media platforms to protest the choice, saying that "We have chosen spectacle over music". Thankfully, many more people, as aforementioned, have welcomed Hélène and her song. Besides, given the restrictions in Kalosia due to a strange new disease that is reported there known as COVID, which has yet to arrive in Normandy and Picardy but which means the Normand delegation will be restricted in size and be forced to undergo an inbound quarantine like any other group (and they will face a return-bound one too to ensure this new disease does not spread to Normandy and Picardy), there is perhaps a limit to what she'll be able to do. There will almost certainly be something up her sleeve however...

A Hit For The World crowns Vhe Qi as ultimate Britonish winner as ELIANA is confirmed to be the Britonish World Hit Festival 52 representative!

Our Beautiful Princess: Pop princess, ELIANA, will represent Britonisea at the upcoming World Hit Festival in Kalosia. She was announced at the representative in the new BVC reveal show, A Hit For The World!

After being pushed back an hour due to recent regional updates, A Hit For The World took place in Junterapten, with ELIANA being announced as the representative of the World Hit Festival 52 for Britonisea and people are loving her song already.

Below you will be able to find the video from the show, A Hit For The World, where ELIANA was revealed as the Britonish World Hit Festival representative.

WATCH HER REVEAL HERE!

When speaking about the song, ELIANA says;

"… it will be called “Tongue-tied” and it’s a really nice song about a girl, me, who is younger than how I am now. This was maybe five years ago when I fell head over heels for this guy, he was perfect, he was talk, dark and handsome – what can I say? And I remember writing in my song diary, as I used to do lyrics, that I was tongue-tied for this guy as I was not able to walk into a room with him. To me, he was perfect, but I couldn’t ever tell him that I liked him, even if I heard from others that he liked me back, I was so self-conscious and insecure. In the song, I sing about the worst case scenario with me imagining something terrible happening if I were to show my weak side and tell him I love him, you know. It’s a song where I get to reminisce. I can be sad, but also happy. I’ve improved a lot since then."

She was then asked about her partnership with Tom Stardust, our new representative. She said;

"Yeah, it was a great partnership. I had him contact me about this opportunity. I wasn’t a part of the World Hit Festival bubble so to be contacted was a nice surprise. I showed him my work, these lyrics, from ages ago and he said that along with a few composers he knew came up with a basic melody and I said yeah okay. I went and I listened to it and I loved it, but I thought it was too masculine – you know what Tom is like with his songs. So I decided to add a bit of femininity in there – I wanted to show how strong females were, but not ignore our fragile and emotional sides too. I feel like through the song, I did just that, I am in love with this song. “I’m tongue tied” at this song."

You are able to find listen to A Hit For The World on the link below, which will be available for international fans too until the night after the Grand Final of World Hit Festival 52 in Kalosia! After that, only nations with BVC iPlayer will be able to view the show.

STREAM 'A HIT FOR THE WORLD' HERE (58 minutes, 45 seconds)

The show was a well-timed one, finishing within the hour and featuring songs from Malta Comino Gozo, Normandy and Picardy and Todlichebujoku in the World Hit Festival 51 throwback, and then nations like Mercedini and Besen in the "Look to the future" section of the show, where it was announced during the show that both songs from those two nations appeared on the Britonish Chart. The show also crowned the best Britonish winner, with Vhe Qi's World Hit Festival 46 hit taking the win with "Dangerously in Love".

Despite the technical hitches throughout the show, it received positive reviews on the internet, with #AHFTW52 trending number one in Bitonisea, above #WV82 currently being hosted in Ertzei Kishim - the result of which we have yet to find out.

The Britonish song, "Tongue-Tied" has already had 20,000 listens an hour after the show had revealed her as the representative on Spotify alone, with the number only expecting to increase much, much more as Britonisea seeks it seventh win at the World Hit Festival.

Below is the official application for Britonisea at the World Hit Festival.

OOC - Thank you all for coming to listen to A Hit For The World, I really loved the support! It will be back and hopefully this time it'll be MUCH better haha! I'll have more time to work on it now that I know there's popularity for it. I think I counted 12 unique people at one point during the one hour show. If you have any suggestions for the show, that's cool. If you'd like to reveal your WHF53 entry on the show, send me a DM and we can get talking x
