Lejn Andersson - Revelations


Background Music

the lights dimmed for a moment as LEJN ANDERSSON and his Band came onto the stage. there was a bit of momentary commotion, on the stage and in the audience. a baby somewhere in the audience began wailing incessantly. finally the band was ready, and the crowd began to settle down again, (but the baby didn't, so several people asked the babies mother to leave, which she did, though scornfully)

the band began...
26 second intro...
Living a dream that died just yesterday
a world much wider in my own mind
a burning scarlet light
Practicing principles, and
morals undefined.

I’ve come to find a Revelation
Escape from this, Reality
There is a higher life, and I will find it
In my mind, Revelations!


8 seconds of interlude

Past shackled lives, sentenced for misery
where thieves and beggers met their end
were their illusions grand?
illusive fate and bad timing
forgone exit plans
let no one else lay claim to, never more...

I’ve come to find a Revelation
Escape from this, Reality
There is a higher life, and I will find it
In my mind, Revelations!
search deep within, to find the power
Don’t just give in tonight
I’ve seen the image of perfection
Revelations, in my mind


REVELATIONS! WOOO HOO
REVELATIONS! YEAH, YEAH!
REVELATIONS! WOO HOO
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!


Silence...then repeats guitar riff...then DRUMS CRASH, AND LIGHTS GO DOWN.

Lights go back up to reveal Lejn Andersson.

Thank you Albertasby, and thank you all who participate in Worldvision 21! Thank you Madrin, you've been absolutely fantastic!

Replaces microphone, and exits the stage...

Erina-Care For You


Erina's song and her performance!

Erina has waited calmly in the backstage. She was happy.

You know,
That I,
Love the sound,
Of a violin,
When you,
Play it nice,

You know that I love the way,
You touch my hair,
And your sweetness babe,

Oh man,
Are we in,
Love for months,
Or do we,
Hang around just,
To stay in touch,

You seem to be ill,
And don't wish,
To be living,
But I,
Want you by my side,
I want you near to me,

I know you need some help,
So I must keep on,
Caring for you dear,
Until the end of time,

Just ask me and,
I'll care for you,
You are so good to me that,
I must be too,

If you tell me,
To help,
I'll be more than glad,
Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,

Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,yeah

Lonely,I am lonely,
Without your smile,
And your big blue eyes,

Are we lost,
In time,
Or in lullaby,
Forgeting to say,
That we had our days,

You seem to be ill,
And don't wish,
To be living,
But I,
Want you by my side,
I want you near to me,

I know you need some help,
So I must keep on,
Caring for you dear,
Until the end of time,

Just ask me and,
I'll care for you,
You are so good to me that,
I must be too,

If you tell me,
To help,
I'll be more than glad,
Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,yeah

I want you,
I want you to fight,
Fight for your life,
To last second,I,
I need you to live,
Cause I want you to stay,

Just ask me and,
I'll care for you,
You are so good to me that,
I must be too,

If you tell me,
To help,
I'll be more than glad,
Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,

Just ask me and,
I'll care for you,
You are so good to me that,
I must be too,

If you tell me,
To help,
I'll be more than glad,
Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,

Because all the things,
You've helped me with,
Are so great,yeah



As the song ends,Erina says: ''Thank you so much! I love you Madrin!''

OOC:I'm so sorry that I haven't got any written performance,but I'm sick. And her performance on the video is pretty much the same as in here.

Standing in the Way of You, by Xanthi Heart


Melody

The arena was now ready for their home act, the act they'd been waiting for. The crowd readied themselves, because they knew exactly what was about to come on to their stage. All of the lights in the arena dimmed, and the whole crowd looked excitedly towards the stage. Instantly, the whole place exploded in colour as a myriad of flames and pyrotechnics announced the arrival of Xanthi Heart to the stage, the nation's favourite rock chick.

My life will find a way to attack,
A life to own you, so watch your back,
You're all alone, you're all on your jack,
And its true


She ran up to the centre of the stage, and sang directly into the cameras and looked at the audience. She was making a real connection with the audience at home, and was hoping that this eye contact would gain votes. However, the rockiness and high energy of the performance meant the she grabbed onto the microphone stand and imitated it as if it was a guitar.

You went and left me, for somebody new,
And that's what hurts, you didn't tell the truth,
You think its fine, but you hurt me bad,
And its true


As the chorus kicked in, the whole arena exploded in colour, and reds, oranges and yellows lit across the arena. Xanthi began clapping above her head to engage the crowd. The chorus was a lot more high energy, and a band accompanied her on stage. She ran up to the lead guitarist and sang right into him, as he let our riffs and chords.

I'm coming for you, I'm going to hurt, just like you,
You took my heart, that's what you did, broke in two,
In the cold of the night, the light of the day,
You're really close, you're metres away,
And that's what I'll do, I'm standing in the way of you


She ran over to the drummer, and used a spare stick to help hit the drum. Xanthi is a trained drummer, and so what she was doing blended nicely with the beat that was playing. After the 'oooh's, she ran back to the front of the stage, singing once again into the audience and cameras. It was clear she was confident, and was used to performing in stadiums.

ooooh oooh oohh, ooh ooh oooh ooh, ooo wooah

You can apologise, or act like a fool,
I guess what you'll do, is play it cool,
Make up your mind, the choice is for you,
And its true


As the final chorus kicked in, Xanthi ran around the stage, bringing high energy and enthusiasm to the performance. At all times, she made sure that the audience were involved and enjoying themselves, and even got the crowd to sing the 'oooh's along with her, putting the microphone on them at certain parts.

I'm coming for you, I'm going to hurt, just like you.
You took my heart, that's what you did, broke it in two

ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I'm coming for you, I'm going to hurt, just like you.
You took my heart, that's what you did, broke it in two

ei ei ei, woah wo, yeah eh
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,

I'm coming for you, I'm going to hurt, just like you.
You took my heart, that's what you did, broke it in two
ei ei ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye oh oh,
ei ei ei, oh oh oh oh oh, ye eh, ye eh, ye eh,


Finally, the music faded down to nothingness and Xanthi looked right into the cameras, delivering the last line a capella and filled with emotion. After the end of the song, she thanked Albertasby and got the crowd psyched up for the rest of the performances.

I'm standing in the way of you

Thank you Albertasby! Merci Albertasbie! Make some noise!!

WorldVision Commentary

Queens' Manor Park, Albertasby

Feedback on the songs will come from Queens' Manor Park in Lifsborough, where a huge festival like feel is present. The people have filled into the park in force, and are watching the contest on a large screen. Many have brought picnics and drinks with them, and everyone is in high spirits. People from this gathering will come on and give their thoughts on the songs...

Saintrabina

"Sounded good, high energy as well. Quite catchy, I liked it"
"Bit boring for me, there just a girl band, nothing special"
"I liked it, until it went all foreign. I mean, what's up with that?"

Phoenigetuzstha

"That dress, WOW! I want one now! Loved the song and performance too!"
"I loved the dancing and the staging. Really good I thought"
"We've had better entries from Phoenigetuzstha in the WHF, but it was okay I guess"

Nÿe Matteis

"I didn't like how she did a little introduction, it bored me I'm afraid"
"Love her voice, but the song didn't do it for me"
"Aww, I loved it! Really good haha!"

The Republic of Lanos

"Its was a bit too shouty for my liking, not really my thing"
"I'm feeling as though the song was aimed at the WV voting for us as hosts?"
"I quite liked it, its something a little different!"

Valeneska

"Very artsy and alternative in the staging, maybe a little to abstract for my liking"
"I really appreciated this entry, quite liked it actually!"
"I remember NikiWorld, and thought they were a lot better last time!"

Costa Fiero

"Would have been better if I understood the lyrics"
"Really catchy rhythm and I got up and danced! Love it!"
"This really got the whole park psyched and really got the place jumping! It'll do well!"

Luziyca

"Another communist song? Sigh, bit boring I thought"
"I liked it, but it didn't really go anywhere. I wanted it to build, and it didn't"
"Forgettable, but okay I guess"

Central Lothian

"Staging was a bit cheesy, but I loved the melody and the lyrics"
"Damn! These girls are talented! Well done!"
"Bit cliché in my opinion, but it was okay. Probably a middle of the table placing?"

Mediterra

"A little bit dull for my liking, too classical"
"I really liked it. So simple and elegant! Good choice to choose something like that"
"Could have been better, but it was okay! Shame about the foreign like!"

More to come...

OOC: Swil, you still haven't changed your godmod review of my entry.

Ok since Swil won't listen OOCwise...
IC:

Hello, this is Hobbes Broadcasting with special coverage of Worldvision 21. It would seem Swilatian comments about the Lanosian entry here has sparked some serious controversy and as of yet, no one over there has directly apologized for the libelous comments despite behind-the-scenes complaints. So now, we're going to make it official. The comments made by the Swilatian commentators are not true and libelous as there was none of that done by the Lanosian band and nothing of the sort was planned. Hobbes Broadcasting, a member of the Worldvision Broadcasters Organization, is demanding the the broadcasters organization and the Worldvision Committee deal with these libelous comments as soon as possible before we take our case directly to the committee on the grounds of racism and discrimination directly being committed by the Swilatians. We demand a direct and sincere apology by the Swilatian broadcaster without delay. We hope this is solved in a timely fashion.

Thank you. We now return to Worldvision coverage...

SBC 3WorldVision Song Contest Coverage

11Valcluse

Stanowski: Well, I think we might have a winner! Or at least a possible 12 points from Swilatia. The other possiblity is Phoenigetuzstha... or maybe even Valeneska if the people are crazy enough. And yet I still can't think of something that could get one, two points from Swilatia. Central Lothian?

Jamazka I hope Valeneska doesn't get our 12 points. That would be just... ridiculous. Who cares that it's NikiWorld, they can, and have done better than this. I'd vote for Valcuse myself.

Stanowski: I agree, it's probably the best song so far. Great performance, also. I'm voting for it, definitely.

Jamazka: Yeah, there's not much more to say here. Let's move on to Jurasika, which should be easier to tear apart.

12Jurasika

Stanowski: Yes, that was Jurasika, the same country that sent "Run Away Tonight" or whatever it was. And then, is it really surprising that their entry this year is also crap?

Jamazka: Run away tonight, run away tonight, I'm running away tonight, run away tonight, run away tonight, I'm running away tonight, run away...

Stanowski: Please stop.

Jamazka: Okay, but that wasn't actually Jurasika, it was Celtic Scandinavia. But it's all the same really.

Stanowski: Not really, Celtic Scandinavia left us alone after that one entry. Jurasika are still here, sending whatever crap they can find. It doesn't even have a whole lot going for it like in the way that Valeneska did. Anyway, next up is Syrche.

13Sÿrche

Jamazka: Wow... did they find this one under a sofa or something?

Stanowski: Hey! This would have been a great entry!... a few decades ago. Quite a shame they didn't have WorldVision back then! Well, okay, there might have, but there was only like 5 or 6 countries involved, and none of the acts were anything remotely like a song. There was that one with the professor talking about beards or something like that... or I don't know. I can't find any tapes.

Jamazka: Yeah, that sounds about right. "Hey guys I got this great new WorldVision entry"... except of course WorldVision doesn't exist yet, so they thought they'd hold on to it. And then forget about it.

Stanowski: So, if you just got out of a time machine, you can find a computer and go on our voting site to vote for this... I'll explain how to do that later.

Jamazka: Ha ha, now, I don't care at all for this song, but we all know what that means. You're not going to tell our time travellers how to use a computer, are you?

Stanowski: Yeah, I will, after the votes have been counted. Besides, if the interval act is going to be anything like the opening act, we'll need to figure out something to do in that time.

We are well aware that the comments made by Lina Jamazka and Jan Stanowski on the WorldVision Song Contest can generate controversy, as we have previously recvied complaints from the nation of Nye Matteis about the comments made about their entry.

However, we do not believe that their comments, most of which are completely subjective, are "libelous", much less "racist" or "discriminatory". We would like to point out the "ROL Warfighters" are already well-known in Swilatia for their previous appearance at WorldVision, which was certainly not well recieved by Swilatians. The destruction of the flag of Albertasby, as described by Jan Stanowski, certainly fits the image this group has picked up in Swilatia, even if such an act was not actually planned.

We would also like to point out that the SBC is not answerable to any broadcasters' organisation or committee, and that "the Swilatians" as a whole can not be responsible for comments made by two television presenters, for reasons which should be painfully obvious to any rational being.

We see no reason to apologise.

Stadt Medi Nÿe Matteis Special Bulletin

Gangster Rap Group "Indikka" seen here:

(Image)

moves to Triple Platinum status with the recently released hit song "FOKÄRA SWILETIA!" (F**k Swilatia) from the new album "Politi No Ze Reatt" (Politically Incorrect)

The song is far too Profane to show...

The lyrics of the song portray a group of individuals who are hired by a Swiletian man to do manual labour, however, the group soon discovers his young, teenage daughter, and the song goes on to describe in graphic detail, the events that follow after.

When reached for comment on the song, the group put out this statement: "We really aren't a very political group. Fokära Swiletia was originally called "Fokära Ze Væstævæst" (Fuck Them B***h @$$ C**t W****s), a song about three guys who score with a rich man's daughter, but with the recent backlash against Swiletia [here in Nÿe Matteis] it seemed like a good idea...We don't know much about the world, but one thing is certain, that Swiletian people are very ignorent, so we are giving it right back to them..."

One thing is for certain, it sure has caught on with the young people...


This has been a special news bulletin from Stadt Medi Nÿe Matteis. Keeping you up to date, and up to the hour, Stadt Medi, Now a subsidiary of Dåtsche Medi.
Nye (or Nÿe) is a Dåtsche word meaning NEW...so
Nye Matteis (in English) = New Matteis

Fake Reality (Find My Way), by Room 299

The performance starts off with a few seconds of complete silence and darkness. Nothing can be seen of the stage. Then, a few dim lights shine down directly on the members of the band, especially the singer, who is lying down on an what looks to be an expensive antique sofa. The background is a stone wall with windows, with the night sky seen outside them.

They start playing. Unlike most other Swilatian entries, there isn't much else to the performance (so far). The singer stays lying down and only moving herself very slowly as she sings. There are no dancers.

Night by night, waiting in the darkness
Wake me up, so we can break the silence
Don't tell me now, you believe all you see
Open your eyes, don't you see me?

I wanna see all that we could be
Day by day, every night, again and again
Wanna know where to go just to make it right
So help me to find my way

Everything about me is a lie
Everything they say just can't be right
We live in fake reality
Oh, how I wish we could be free

Days go by and nothing seems to change
Together, can't we take a stand?
We're gonnna show them what is really there
And we're going to find a way

I wanna see all that we could be
Day by day, every night, again and again
Wanna know where to go just to make it right
So help me to find my way


The singer finally stands up to sing the next parts of the song, but it's still a fairly simple performance.

My way, I don't want to pull away
Save me, don't you want to stay with me?
Help me, help me find my way, my way


The stage is lit much more brightly now, the singer starts moving around wildly, and knocking over some of the stage props. There is also some flashing lights and pyrotechnics.

I wanna see all that we could be
Day by day, every night, again and again
Wanna know where to go just to make it right
So help me to find my way

I wanna see all that we could be
Day by day, every night, again and again
Wanna know where to go just to make it right

So help me find my way


The singer stands tall with her fist raised high above her head. The music then stops, and most of the lights go out.

17. Chenkorya

Image Euphoria, by Loreen


This was the moment. Oda had been having a fun time in Albertasby, and actually, Oda had been home between each few days, since Chenkorya was Albertasby's neighbour country, and Oda's hometown in the north-east was close to the Albertasbian border. The song "Symphonia" had won ChenkorVision on tie-breakers, which didn't mean the Chenkoryans were supporting less; even Mademoiselle-fans were fully supporting Oda (real name; Odaslava Dolgurukova). The Chenkoryan delegation had gathered backstage, and the cameras showed some backstage images of them on television. Oda smiled, and then walked up the stage. The Chenkoryan postcard was shown, and during the postcard, Oda made ready to sing, despite her nervousness. Usually she could really keep it down, but this was the moment.. As the third woman and fourth act that represented Chenkorya on WV, she hoped she could be the second winner from her home country.

First the whole arena was dark. Then, some huge spotlights started flickering and shining through the arena. The background screens were now coloured in a beautiful kind of dark blue. After the mysterious and soft intro, the cameras went to Oda's face, which was shady at first, but then less. She looked in the camera, while a wind machine was softly blowing wind in her face. Oda started singing, not extremely beautiful or extremely good, but just good enough for the song, and her voice suited the song perfectly though.
Our love, it’s buried under shards of broken hearts
This world, this world of pain has torn us apart
Take, take everything you want, destroy it good
And build, build your hell castle where our palace stood

Oda did spread her arms a bit. After that, the cameras showed her face again. During this part of the song, Oda started a pretty artistic and special dance, while singing well. This part was a bit lighter version of the refrain, the music got louder in the last sentence.
Symphonia
I wish a symphony could be the key
To being happy and to being free
But there’s no keyhole that out key fits in

The music suddenly became very loud now, and so did the Chenkoryans in the crowd, as well as the most of the Albertasbians and Euskirribakondarans, who were all majorities in the arena. Oda started dancing heavier, and her dance suited the song perfectly.
Symphonia
Just give our hearts a place to hide
From the cruel place that’s called outside
Don’t sweep our lo-o-o-o-o-ve away

The lights that had been flickering during the big refrain, all went out now. The stage was again surrounded by the dark blue screens. The cameras zoomed out a bit, and you could now see Oda's whole body. Oda was now standing still, but during this mysterious and more quiet part of the song, she kneeled down on the floor.
Fallen down,
Broken and plundered immediately
Crept inside while we were listening to their hateful plea
Our bond of friendship’s been broken
Your golden heart, that I once loved
Was ripped out, without doubt, remelted
To a carillon of jealousy

Oda rose from the ground, and was now standing again. The music became louder again, and the lights started flickering through the crowd again. During the refrain, she continued her artistic dance.
Symphonia
Just give our hearts a place to hide
Let us steal away while they collide
Don’t sweep our lo-o-o-o-o-ve away

Oda continued dancing while she repeated the refrain with a bit different lyrics, while continuing her dance. At the end of the refrain, she fell down to the floor, a thing she had been training on for several times, to do it without hurting herself or getting a concussion.
Symphonia
A symphony can’t be the key
Nowadays it cannot be done simply
Only love has no value anymo-o-ore

Oda was now laying on the floor. Wind machines had been blowing all the time, they still were, but now also little raindrops were falling out of the air. The cameras zoomed in on her face, which was looking to the ceiling of the arena. At the second sentence, a camera was placed next to her face, which showed images of her face out of the position of laying next to her.
The cry… has not been heard by anyone
Without this world… our love would not have been made gooone

Oda was suddenly standing again, and a few steps behind her, was a dark man standing, whose face could not been seen yet. Oda sang with all her power, it was especially needed in this part of the song.
Symphonia…
Symphonia…
Don’t sweep our lo-o-o-o-o-ve away!

The man now jumped out of the shadows, and started dancing around her, not only around her, but also a passionate dance with Oda, like an acrobatic cat and mouse game. This all was happening while Oda was singing the refrain of the song.
Symphonia
A symphony can't heal our pain
Not gonna chime this earth’s alarm
This was our last chance and now we will be lost

The raindrops were still falling out of the air, and the wind machines were still blowing. The man, whose name was Carel, was now holding Oda, and she was spreading her arms like she was trying to escape. With all her power, she sang the last lines with long notes.
Symphooooonia
Symphoooooonia…

In the end, they had prepared an acrobatic thing. To her words, Oda stepped up the man's knee, then sat on his right sholder. The man dropped to the ground, and Oda was standing on the ground again, with her arms spread. This all had happened to the beat of the music and her last words;
Symphonia does not work anymore!

Oda received a huge cheer from the audience, and Oda looked out of breath and extremely euphoric. She smiled and shouted "Thank you Albertasby! Merci Swantana! I love you world, vote Chenkorya!" She smiled, greeted the cameras, and then left the stage, making room for the next act. Some men walked up the stage to mop away the raindrops.

"Light the Night with Music"
Like Humans Do By Edward Cook

Edward Cook stepped out onto the stage, walking confidently and relaxed in his green sports jacket, he stepped up to the microphone as his band set up behind him.

He took a breath and said "One, two, three, four"

The music began to play.

For millions of years, In millions of homes
A man loved a woman, A child then was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like Humans Do


With that verse he stretched his left arm out to the audience.

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin' and
I'm shakin' and
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm achin' and
I'm shakin' and
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do


With that he did a dance and twirled the microphone.

I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin and I'm lovin myself
We're eatin off plates and we kiss with our tongues
Like Humans Do


He smiled on that verse.

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin' and
I'm shakin' and
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm achin' and
I'm shakin' and
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do

I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funky house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin' in on a woman and a man


With that he danced some more and smiled at the audience

I'm achin' and
I'm shakin' and
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
Ooooooh!


He bowed on the last note and gave an almost presidential wave to the audience, smiling. "Thank you"! he said, and walked off the stage smiling in joy.

I reach out to touch you
I just want your embrace
But everything around me
Is mostly empty space.
And though I catch a glimpse
Of you through the winter air
I can't convince myself
That you're really standing there.

So tell me what's the matter
I'd catch your tears, I'd build a dam
Don't fade and stand, don't scatter
Tell me you're real, show me I am.

You head out of the door
Again; a nod, a wave.
I blink and see your face there
I'm trying to be brave.
You lit up all my world
And we were living large.
Have we just grown too used to
Each other? Where's the charge?

So tell me what's the matter
Don't go away, don't go too far
Don't fade and stand, don't scatter
Tell me I'm real, show me you are.

You cross my path again.
A nod, a stolen kiss--
But then you sail away
Another too-near miss.
How long till I give up
And crawl into this shell
And shut the world away?
Maybe it's just as well.

So tell me, where's the matter?
I look around but I can't find
You once, again, you scatter.
And maybe now you're out of mind.

19. KINGSLEY BEDFORD
"Is It Just Me' by Yana
Based on "Perfect Enemy" by t.A.T.u
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZmYJjNrVZs

During the instumental into strobe lights flash in the arena as Yana enters the stage and the strobes stop as the first verse begins

Verse 1
The whole world stands by as I look for an explaination
As to why I go through such pain and frustration
Why do I get treated like I'm going mental
Why does this world have to be so damn judgemental?

CHORUS:
You carry on with your hurt and betrayal
it's only gonna make you fail
but even so it is still so unclear to me
Is the world so cruel or is it just me

Verse 2:
I'm no longer tolerating your accusations and refusals
I'm now awaiting for the next solution
There's been no compassion on an international level
why does this world have to be so damn judgemental

CHORUS

*During instrumental bit strobe lights flash again and towards the end firework sparklers surround the stage as Yana removes part of her outfit to a flag of KB that drapes around her back as she holds it while in front of a wind machine*

CHORUS x2

They all sit down again as the room darkings, then Nena Frok (the one on the far right) stands up and starts to sing.

I used to be alone,
Cry, I didn’t know where anyone was .
Time has been to long,
I need to see you all.


Then Nena Frok sits down and Nena Shank (the one on the right) stands up and sings.

Online searching for you all.
The world is behide.
I thought I saw some of you,
And I was right!
Finally I got us together,
Now I will be never alone.


Then Nena Shank sits and Losctan (the one on the left) stands up as the room slowly starts to lighting and he sings much more happily then the others

We are never gonna be sad again,
Now I have my long lost friends.
I will never cry!
It’s time to be the best I can be!

The room starts to lighting up again, all 5 stand up and sing with a VERY powerful voice. There was a massive boom.

We are here my friends,
Let’s hysterically drink larger.
Love from the heart.
All around.
Time yeah,

The background starts to flash rainbows again and again, making the romm the lightest then its ever been

Oh yeeeeeeeeaaaaah!

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The room starts to lighting up again, all 5 stand up and sing with a VERY powerful voice. There was a massive boom.

The room lightings again as second love walk off, and as usually the camera turns to some Skjalfandafljotians flying the flag.

OOC....

not to be like...Grinding anyone's Gear's or anything, but....could we speed this up a little?

and also, just wondering what you guys think about it...but...in the future, could we possibly have deadlines on these, to prevent this huge LAG that is taking place? just wondering what you guys think...

Well it usually takes this long and is normal for WV.
The committee decides along with the host on the time in which we begin voting. This lag is a part of the contest. It is a pattern that has been in the contest for a long time. However we can send reminders to those who have not posted their song to hurry things along.

That's not to say we wouldn't be better off without it. The problem has always been with deciding what a fair deadline would be. But a week of complete inactivity doesn't help anyone. I have a hard time bringing myself to do commentary when i can't even find this thread.

Oh, and for Syrche, there's no need to sign your posts like that. It already says next to it who posted. ;)

No, I disagree.

I propose around 2 more weeks. Nothing more, but not just some days. 1.5-2 weeks?

Thank You Albertasby....
i would have to agree w/ Chenkorya on a deadline of roughly two weeks.
and i would also like to point out that Swilatia brings up a very good point....
having no deadline is a good way to be really inclusive, but i think in a way its kind of UNFAIR to us that have submitted, because by the time that everyone else is submitted and when the voting is finally done, it just doesn't feel current anymore.
Also it's kind of unfair to those who WANTED to participate but were cut off by the entry deadline.
In the future (maybe this is something you guys would want to discuss, as im only putting forward a suggestion here) perhaps there could be a deadline of 1 month from when the Contest thread is opened? and then maybe a week or two after that the voting would be due? like i said, just suggestions.

It began on a Lonely Summer Twlight:
I was the singer around,
She was the most loving Princess.

She was my lover,
My loving lover,
My Princess.

We used to sleep so well together,
Back then.
We wanted to sleep together, around the world,
We wanted it all.

But one Twlight, one Lonely Twlight,
We decided to sleep too much.
Together we left The Dream.
It was loving, so loving.

From that moment our relationship changed.
She grew so amazing.

And then it happened:

Oh no! Oh no!

She Parted The Dream.
Alas, The Dream!
My lover Parted The Dream.
It was sad, so sad.

The next day I thought my lips had broken,
I thought my face had burst into flames,

But still, she is in my thoughts.
I think about how it all changed that Twlight,
That Lonely Summer Twlight.

My face is sad
When I think of that loving Princess,
That loving Princess and me.
Nothing to Say except B*GGER thank you!

22. Fur Land Furries - Wipe away those watery tears bring back the fire
For Cinka
Tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSZVYZTze74 (Jessie J - Nobodys Perfect)

Key:
Singing/Talking
Action

The Fur Land Furries walk on stadge in full fursuit, fake fog covers the stadge. Theres a sad atmisfere in the air. Then they start to sing.

Water falls down the gutters,
Just like tear drops.
Hope is nowhere here,
The air is filled with fear.
La La La La Da

The music suddenly gets louder. The band stand up proudly.

Time bring hope back,
Time to put away the tear sack.
Wipe away those watery tears,
Bring back the fire!

We will survive forever,
We will overcome the fear,
We have suffered long enough,
Let’s make the best of every moment.

Evrything gose queit and dark again, by know half of the fog is gone, know it is even sadder than before.

Dust and despair,
Fills the air.
Children crying,
Aeroplanes flying.

Away,
Away from this mess,
Away from this war,
Away from this terror.
Away,
Away from the starvation,
Away from the death,
Away from the crying.

But I’m sick of this thing,
I’m gonna stay right here.
I’m gonna change this country around,
We’re gonna come back,
Not gonna sink into the ground.

The room Lighterns again and the music is much lowder. the stand proudly.

Time bring hope back,
Time to put away the tear sack.
Wipe away those watery tears,
Bring back the fire!

Furs will live forever,
We’re gonna beat of the invasion.
We are going to Bring Cinka back to its former glory.
Da Da Da La La La Da Da Da.
Da Da Da La La La Da Da Da.
Da Da Da La La La Da Da Da.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

See the sun shine,
And the time has come.

Light fills the city,
Time is coming shorter.
This war is about to end.

Hope and starts to fill the land,
as the army dose run.
As we beat them away.

In just about a year we stood up,
And said no!

We chased the army,
Back into their own country,

Suddenly the background music turns into a Rave/Trance remix of what it was before.

Finally we can stand in the street,
Without being scared of gunfire.

DaDaDa Da Da DA
Da Da Da Da la DA!

No more bombs, No more death,
No more crying and the rest.

We have won the war,
Us the public of Cinka,
Have fought of an army,
To get our country back.
And we WILL fight again if we have to.

We will stay strong and unite,
We are here to stay,
Clean up this mess,
With a lot to say.

Now all of the fog is gone, the music gets really loud. One of the singers come out from the side with cinka's flag, then loads of different Cinkaorian's (including the rest of the band) come out with all of the flags in the contest and wave them rappedly in the air.

Time has come,
We HAVE wiped away those watery tears.
We HAVE bought back the fire!
In sweet Cinka!

The country we love and respect,
We value every moment,
Every little sec.

But we love every country,
Every single one.
We’re having a party,
And anyone can come.

Thank you Albertasby! Thank you the rest of the world!

The camera terns to some Cinkaorians waving the flag of Cinka
