OOC: As usual, this is an information given by your commentators

The Robert Demirchyan Complex was filled with 8000 attendants. Although the Hall could seat more people, everything was under a smaller and more organic concept. The stage was ready to display all its colour and magic with 22 amazing acts from all over the world. The complex is located in a beautiful hill that overlooks the Hayk River; ready to boost with lights and fireworks in the night of the final. The motto, "building a brighter day", and the logo, represent the joyfullness of Artsakhianis, their landmark mountains, and the hands that will build that brighter day. It was freezing in the outside, but the warmth of the Artsakhiani hearts was in the inside, awaiting the start of the first Junior World Hit Festival. In the city of Stepanarvashat, capital of Artsakhestan.

Two opening acts would introduce everyone to the celebration of "young music" and the milennia-old Armenian culture of Artsakhestan. The hosts, Sofi Shahumyan, renowned Artsakhiani artist; and Dalita, renowned young Artsakhiani actress, dancer and singer; were ready to give the night an amazing start. But it was the turn for the "Kochari Ensemble" to start the night.

It was 19:00 (local time, UTC -6). The show had kicked off!

OPENING ACT 1
SARER, THE MOUNTAINS

An only bulb was over the stage, and there was no other colour in the stage. Then, the Zangezur Par started, a typical dance from Central Artsakhestan. A group of 14 women started to dance, whilst the column of the back started to show a rising sun, and rising with him, a mountain. Then, women (dressed typically, as the ones in the video), began to appear hanging from the roof, flying towards the stage from the back of the Complex. A huge "wooo!" was heard from the crowd, as everyone amazed themselves with the images of flying women going towards a dancing group. As they flew, the lights began to appear around the complex... And when they reached the stage, they landed one by one in each of the catwalks (there's one in the left, and one in the right). The choreography (the same as in the video) changed as the rhythm changed {1.13}.

At the same time, the rings and columns in the background of the stage began showing a moving fire. Amidst the crowd, a girl and a boy appeared, carrying a little torch, and they began walking to the tune of the song. It was all mystical and enchanting. This was being shown on screen, but also, several images of Artsakhestan (0.32 - 1.18) were being shown. Then, the kids reached the stage {3.25}, and they were incorporated into the choreography. Some seconds later, the dance finished, and the whole stage erupted into lights, colours and pyros that evocated fire. The audience clapped and cheered massively, and everything went pitch black again.

Suddenly, Sofi Shahumyan appeared in the stage to the surprise of everyone... she started to sing, and as she sang, smoke was appearing all over the complex... Everything was turning totally smoky as she delivered the first lines with a great vocal experience. Meanwhile, backing dancers appeared in the catwalks, as she was starting to sing from a leaning position (like in MJ's Smooth Criminal) to symbolize the rising of the sun.

Arevë achum e (The sun is rising up)
K'ani vor yerkinkë (As the sky gets)
Stanum e nkarel (Painted in)
E guynerov, asel (Colours)

As Sofi said "guynerov", which means colours... The letters (in both Armenian and Latin alphabets) for 'Guynerov' appeared being projected over the crowd. The whole stage was now displaying several colours, and as the rhythm changed, with each beat of the 'dum-dum-dum-dum-dum' before the next stranza, pyros were shot out of different parts of the stage, in different shades of the yellow-orange-red colour range. The dancers then jumped to the stage and went to where Sofi was... The columns were lit up in tones of red, and a central spotlight was shining over Sofi. All the dance moves were related to inviting people for the moment, for the show.

Sa ëndlaynvats mez hamar (This is the setting for us)
Sa ayn pahn e mez hamar (This is the moment for us)
Mi t'ogh… herranan (Do not let it go away)

The smoke had already left completely, and the central spotlight changed to a golden-like yellow as the dancers made all their Artsakhiani moves (like in the video). Sofi was singing as always, with a great power on her voice and always hitting the right notes...

Vor paytsarr e dzer ach'k'erë (The sunshine makes your eyes)
Paytsarr yev dzer demk'ë (Brighter and your face)
Hstak, ha, barev (Clearer)

For this little chorus intro, Sofi put more strength on her voice to make it sound like a deep shout; and pyros came out from specific points in the catwalk each milisecond (like in the video)

Ba, ba-rev, arev (He, he-llo, sun)

Then, she started to walk around the stage. Each time she said Barev, she made a quick stop and shook her hips a little. For the last part, she pointed at the sky....

Barev arev (Hello sun)
Barev sarer (Hello mountains)
Barev arev (Hello sun)
Barev… (Hello…)

The "parade" stopped at the little circled stage in front of the proper stage, and they all performed the exact same moves that can be seen in the video.

T'ogh serë varrum dzez (Let the passion burn you)
T'ogh yerazhshtut'yunë dzez (Let the music make you)
Shnch'el: Zhamanakn (Breathe. The time is)
Nerkan u ban (The present, and nothing else)

With the sound of the Dhol (Armenian drum) she started to walk again, backwards, followed by her dancers, but this time they were on a horizontal line (one of them was missing, so that they looked 2+1+2). To the shout...

Hey!

They keep walking and Sofi adds another line.

Nerkan u ban (The present, and nothing else)

She now descends from the stage and reaches the catwalk that goes amidst the crowd (the one everyone used to get to their sites). As Sofi walks she invites everyone to move their hips and sing like she does (Like Sirusho does in {1.28}). The stage is projecting wavy lines of different colours that move with the music, in its columns and floor. As they reach the central part of the complex, we can see a dash of fire coming out of the roof...

Nerkan u ban, arev (The present and nothing else, oh sun)

As she does that technically long note, she is risen up by her four dancers, and a camera from the crowd shows her as if she was levitating above all. Then, they put her back in the floor, and together, they begin walking towards the stage.

In the stage, suddenly white sheets were covering the stage, and a group of men started to move them (a bit like this but without the man), they were creating different shapes that represented Artsakhestan: apricots, lavash bread, an Armenian drum (dhol), a duduk, and Mount Ararat (as featured on the logo). Since the sheets were white, the bulbs could project any kind of light over them and colour the image so it looked real.

As they do that, Sofi is singing alone in the tiny circle in front of the stage. Again, with all the professional and upbeat touch she puts into her performances...

Dzer dzerrk'erë petk' e (Your hands need)
Lini hajordë indz (To be next to me)
Jan k'ele, ari k'ele (Dear let's go, come now)

Urakhut’yuny petk’ e (The joy must)
Lrats’nel ays pahin (Fill this moment)
Jan k'ele, ari k'ele (Dear let's go, come now)

Pyros again came out each milisecond (like in the video), but this time, from all the complex. The moving sheets act continued in her back.

Ba, ba-rev, arev (He, he-llo, sun)

Her five dancers appeared as if from nowhere and crawled, dancing in a circle that surrounded her. Since she was standing in the circle, the floor of it was coloured in a golden colour that made her dress look a bit like golden. A shot was made from the roof, and it looked like a sun... The center was Sofi and the circle; whilst the rays where the 5 dancers.

Barev arev (Hello sun)
Barev sarer (Hello mountains)
Barev arev (Hello sun)
Barev… (Hello…)

Arevë bardzranum (The sun rises)
Bardzranum (Rises)
Mer vka, pa… (The sun is our witness)
Hum mer show (The sun keeps our show)

The sheets act stopped and Sofi walked to the center of the stage (she was now stepping on the sheets). Then, she started to soulfully sing just two words with the best vocal quality of hers.

Arev! (Oh, sun!)
Arev! (Oh, sun!)

Then, she fell to the ground, and the men started lifting her up with the help of the sheets as she yelled...

Jan k'ele, ari k'ele (Dear let's go, come now)

The people in the crowd shook their body as the dhol and guitar sounded before the next chorus (like in the video), and pyros came out of everywhere in the stage again. Sofi kept going up and down with help of the sheets; whilst dancers appeared from all over and began joining everyone in a dance.

Barev… (Hello…)
Barev… (Hello…)
Barev… (Hello…)

Barev arev (Hello sun)
Barev sarer (Hello mountains)
Barev ser (Hello love)
Barev… (Hello…)

(The four verses that would go here are cut in this rendition of Sofi Shahumyan's song)

Pyros came out of the line that surrounds the stage each milisecond (like in the video), but at the same time, all the dancers reached Sofi and grabbed her again to rise her in the air.

Si-i-rov, arev (In love, oh sun)

In "arev", the dancers threw Sofi in the air again and catched her as she came back down. All the fans started to cheer a lot, TOO MUCH. And she said....

"Bari Galust Artsakhestan! Welcome to Our Country!"

OPENING ACT 2
YEREKHANER, THE KIDS

After everyone had cheered for several seconds because of the first opening acts, the colour lines of the stage began showing the orange colour again. From the crowd itself, many kids appeared walking towards the stage; and in the floor of the stage, they began drawing the logo of the contest (actually the logo was being shown by the LED-screen technology of the stage floor; but its moves were synchronized with the moves of the kids so it looked as if they were drawing it for real). After they drew it, the hands of the logo began moving, as if saying "hi" to the crowd.

Then, the kids were bringing coloured bricks to the logo, and began assembling them in a special way. Some minutes afterwards, a 3D version of the logo was rising from the stage ground.... The bricks were now forming the two mountains, the two hands, and the letters of the logo. From the roof, floating clouds and a sun appeared to complement the image, and now show the full logo. The crowd applauded and cheered again; and then the whole stage went pitch black. The kids went running to the crowd, and gathered in a circle in the middle of the complex; each one had a different race, nationality and religion; as their dresses/skin colour/language showed.

The arena voiceover announced...

Մենք ողջունում ենք բոլոր այն երեխաներին, անկախ նրանից, իրենց աշխարհում, գույնից, կրոնը կամ ազգանունը.
(Menk' voghjunum yenk' bolor ayn yerekhanerin, ankakh nranits', irent's ashkharhum, guynits' kronë kam azganunë)
Մենք ողջունում ենք նրանց տոնակատարության երաժշտության.
(Menk' voghjunum yenk' nrants' tonakatarut'yan yerazhshtut'yan)
Բարի գալուստ առաջին պատանեկան համաշխարհային փառատոնին փնտրման!
(Bari galust Arrajin Patanekan Hamashkharhayin P'arratonin P'ntrman!)

We welcome all the kids of the world, no matter their colour, religion or name.
We welcome them to the celebration of music.
Welcome to the First Junior World Hit Festival!

by **Artsakhestan** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 12:08 am

(Black for Sofi, Blue for Dalita, Green for Both)

Sofi Shahumyan and Dalita were standing in the front circle of the stage. A camera was closely watching them as they welcomed everyone to the First Junior World Hit Festival...

Bari yereko Artsakhestan! Good evening world!
(*The audience cheers excited*)
Bari galust Artsakhestan!

by **Le Amarok** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 12:11 am

01. Le Amarok
Juliette Baldezac - "Y A Quelque Chose Dans L'Air"
Age: 8 years old
Languages: French, Spanish
Title Translation: There's Something In The Air
Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bjz4msyOaQ

Juliette Baldezac was ready to open the night. In fact, she was going to be the first performer EVER in the Junior World Hit Festival. At just 8 years old, she had a lot of "pressure" above her. Nonetheless, she was here to enjoy her time, and in fact, she was the least worried person in the whole Amarokain delegation. Her cute smile was captivating everyone as it just came from the heart... It was sincere, and omnipresent.

On stage, she would wear her typical red dress with white dots. And four girls, dressed like her but in a different combination of colours (white with red dots), were joining her. The stage would display a combination of different tones of red, and the illumination would be white... In tone with the joy, and love in the song. And finally, the song started; as many hearts were shown in the floor of the stage. The five girls entered the stage walking with style, and Juliette began singing with her tender voice (translation between brackets)...

Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)

Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)

Viens, j'voudrais te dire (Come here, I'd like to tell you)
Ce qui, se passe aujourd'hui (What is, going on today)
En fait, c'est très facile d' le faire (Actually, it is very easy to do so)
Et à la, même fois difficile (And at the same time difficult)

Then, the bridge started, as the girls were combining the tune with special moves (like in the video). Juliette is, as usual, smiling; and the cameras are totally focusing in that image, she represents all what young girls can represent: joy, beauty, tenderness. It's an amazing night for her...

Les étoiles réjouissent avec moi (The stars are rejoicing with me)
Extraño es... (It is weird)
Oooooohhhh.... (Oooooohhhh)

Then the chorus kicked in...

Cuando llega el amor, no hay nada mejor (When love arrives, there's nothing better)
Siento cosquillas en mi interior (My inside tickles and I feel it)
El cielo azul está, sólo quiero cantar (The sky is blue, and I just want to sing)
Porque he aprendido a besar (Because I just learned how to kiss)

Y a... quelque chose dans l'air... Mmmmm (There is.... Something in the air.... Mmmm)
Y a rien à faire (We can't help it)

The next stranza continues, and the cameras keep focused on Juliette's character. Her cuteness is what (according to the Amarokaine delegation) will earn them a good position. Everything is all red now... Enough to represent love; but not too much to seem too tacky or cheesy.

Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)

Les heures en, secondes (Hours, into seconds)
Les rêves en, réalité (Dreams, into reality)
Tout se transforme rapidement (Everything transforms quickly)
Le monde change, évidemment (The world changes, of course)

The bridge kicks in again, and there's this 60s/70s feeling in the performance (just as in the provided video). Her eyes convey an illusion that goes beyond just dreams and actually shows pure happiness. She is remembering that first kiss, and actually, with her singing and acting, she's making everyone remember that special moment.

Les nuages réjouissent avec moi (The clouds are rejoicing with me)
Divertido es... (It is fun)
Oooooohhhh.... (Oooooohhhh)

Chorus kicks in again with an explosion of joy. The choreography, again, is the same one as in the video.

Cuando llega el amor, no hay nada mejor (When love arrives, there's nothing better)
Siento cosquillas en mi interior (My inside tickles and I feel it)
Arcoiris salió, la Tierra asintió (The rainbow came out, the Earth nodded)
Porque el amor se manifestó (Because love manifested itself)

Y a... quelque chose dans l'air... Mmmmm (There is.... Something in the air.... Mmmm)
Y a rien à faire (We can't help it)

That nice 'arms up, arms down' move of the video was done exactly like that by Juliette and her partners.

Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)
Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)
Ouaaais, ouaaais (Yeah, yeah)

Then, the climax of the song would start. All the stage turned (in light, movements, colours, etc.) to Juliette

Ici commence un nouveau chapitre d'ma vie (Here a new chapter of my life starts)
Et je n'peux pas attendre pour le reste (And I just cannot wait for the rest)
Et la mémoire de mes lèvres, qui ont souri (And the memory of my lips, lips that smiled in that moment)
Me rappellera de cet moment de grande fête (Will remind me of this moment, this joyous occasion*)

"Grande fête", lit. 'big party' is used in L'Amarok as a way to describe a very joyous occasion.

Pyros began coming out around the stage slowly but continously and the four girls began spinning around Juliette, with a bit of parsimony combined with classiness. The resulting image (as in the video) is quite dynamic.

Ooooh.... Cuando llega el amor, no hay nada mejor (Oooooh..... When love arrives, there's nothing better)
Siento cosquillas en mi interior (My inside tickles and I feel it)
Arcoiris salió, la Tierra asintió (The rainbow came out, the Earth nodded)
Porque el amor se manifestó (Because love manifested itself)

Ooooh.... Cuando llega el amor, no hay nada mejor (Oooooh..... When love arrives, there's nothing better)
Siento cosquillas en mi interior (My inside tickles and I feel it)
El cielo azul está, sólo quiero cantar (The sky is blue, and I just want to sing)
Porque he aprendido a besar (Because I just learned how to kiss)

Y a... quelque chose dans l'air... Mmmmm (There is.... Something in the air.... Mmmm)

The girls gathered for the end of the song and blowed a kiss to the cameras and the audience with the final...

Bon... C'est l'amour! (Well... it is love!)

Then Juliette shouted...
Merci Artsakhestan! Merci! Merci beaucoup!

Diding Nebis was now ready for the stage, wearing her nice school clothes and her cutest TOMS. She had 4 back-up dancers, all male, each wearing one of these outfits. The stage was bright, and a schoolyard-esque background was on the screen. One of the boys was playing a few notes on the guitar. After that, Diding began the song:

Pogi, guapo, ang muy gasmati, ay! (Perfect, handsome, but very stubborn, oh!)

A folk-dance beat blasted from the speakers, one you just can't help but dance to. The dancers did happy jigs, and a couple attempted to court her with flowers and stuffed animals brought from off-stage, only to her rejecting them. Two of the dancers put their arms down almost to the floor, and Diding sat on them, continuing the song:

Ko gareji no kaji, ay ay ay, (You ignore my calls, oh, oh, oh)
Ko gareji na texti, ariga ay ay aya (You ignore my texts, oh, oh, ooh)
Ik gibun flingen, (I try and talk to you)
a bolye glinken, aya, aya, aya, (but you go back to your friends, ooh, ooh, ooh)
rup digbreda... (You're just one big...)

Diding then shuffled her way to the center of the stage, pushing the boys holding her. She pointed to the camera and sang:

Ay, yi kong mut gasmati, (Oh, you are too stubborn)
yi muy muy muy gasmati, (You're very very stubborn)
I gareki mo shamu, (You should be ashamed)
Yi kor ig benfori siet. (Not answering your only lover)

All her dancers were now seated in desks, and a classroom setting was now seen, almost appearing like magic.

04. Polkopia
Julia Kosonovo - "Without You
Age: 9 years old
Languages: Polkopian, English
Tune: Yohanna - "Is It True?"

Julia Kosonovo was both elated and determined, being Polkopia's first ever contestant in the Junior World Hit Festival. She had the opportunity to meet some fans before her arrival to the stage, and they ended up lifting her spirits up. She didn't really care if she won, though she did want a respectable position, but she was here for the experience; She never really ahd the opportunity to travel and see other cultures before.

Julia was dressed in A formal green dress and was joined on stage by three backing singers, two of them girls, one of them a boy. The girls were dressed in this, and the boy was dressed in this with black pants. The background shows an image of a small flame, and the rest is dark, except for a single spotlight on Julia, and another, dimly lit one, on the backup singers.

Red - Julia
Blue - Backup Singers
Purple - Both

( '...' indicates the last note being carried on.)

Ya kool la oova ya (I look all around me)
Ett ya unti see cha But I don't see much (But I don't see much)
Ver hata yo lon? (Where have you gone?)

Os noy ya y' yo il ya (So tell me why you left me)
Yo een' yout reven gol ya (You said you'd never leave me)
Won ya ova yo (Now I need you)

The flame in the background starts flickering. A video of a much larger flame now begins at the bottom of the tubes. The lights shine a bit brighter now, and the edge of the stage begins glowing a shade of red-orange.

Woh vela yo od tis ot ya? (How could you do this to me?)
Ven ya pent'v yo die oya. (When I needed you the most)

The flame in the background runs out, when suddenly a meteor streaks across the background image, which leaves a trail of fire, which seems to engulf the background. Fog creeps out from the floor, almost imitating smoke, and completely hides the kids' feet from view.

Without you
(Without you)
Was it my fault?
Was it something I did?

Was it you?
(Was it you?)
I remember
You said you'd never leave me
What now...?

The background continues this firey appearance, although the lights dim once again.

Fi yo quar'v v'nish ya (If you cared about me)
Yo wult'o od tis ot ya (You wouldn't do this do me)
Yo'n tsay vi ya quo(You'd stay by my side)

Trenta yo ert goola (Obviously you were lying)
Der'n on mut ni shoona(There's no point in trying)
Ot veen yo ack stap(To gain you back again)

Woh vela yo od tis ot ya? (How could you do this to me?)
Ven ya pent'v yo die oya. (When I needed you the most)

The lights come back, which dimly lights the outline of the stage.

Without you
(Without you)
Was it my fault?
Was it something I did?

Was it you?
(Was it you?)
I remember
You said you'd never leave me
What now...?

The lights shine much brighter, lighting up the entire stage, and the background image, which previously showed a trail of fire, now shows a moving picture which makes it look like the fire is burning a hole through the structure.

Without you
(Without you)
Was it my fault?
Was it something I did?

Was it you?
(Was it you?)
I remember
You said you'd never leave me
What now...?

As Julia holds the note, the fire 'burns' the structure away, and it is left pitch black. The tubes, which also depicted fire, now look as though they are being eaten by fire, and animated holes spread throughout the tubes.

(Without you)
(Am I alright?)
Will I toss you away?

Without you
Are you all gone?
Yeah, I know that I'll be
Alright

The stage is now completely dark except for a spotlight on Julia; the fire seems to have eaten away at the props.

Without you

The lights turn back on as the song ends. Julia and her dancers line up at the front of the stage and bow. They all blow kisses to the audience before cheerfully walking off stage with huge smiles on their faces.

05 - Mediterra - Mediterranija
"Musika"
Performed by Litmus
Melody (Calypso by Spiderbait)

The kids were certainly proud to represent their country. The all-girl band first met each other in school, and after discovering a mutual interest in music, they decided to make their own band. Not long after WHF9 ended, the girls uploaded a cover of the winning entry on the internet. The talented girls soon became known everywhere, and were even asked to perform at FMM4. After saying that they'd want to represent their country at WHF someday in a post-festival interview, the national broadcaster RTM invited them to perform and represent Mediterra at the 1st Junior World Hit Festival.

They were in a typical band position. One of the members started to strum the guitar gracefully. The lead singer sang in a similar way to the original song (OOCly). During the calm, mellow parts, the background showed pictures of flowers, but when it elevated to the more upbeat parts, stars were shown and they were moving as if the background screen were a rocket.

Margha
I Satördag
Solënsennën
Önt vatr

Mutar min gitarra
Ik är lykkën
Oh, så lykkën

Singën myt mik!
Musika!
Dullë vil lekën
Oh, oh—

Srena

Det Litmus band

Ojch är
Est soninën
Ojch mutar
Est för plësir

Singën myt mik!
Musika!
Dullë vil lekën
Oh, oh, oh!

Now was an instrumental break, which was also a 'language break'. It officially ended the use of the Mediterran language in international events and introduced the Kalosian language. The Mediterran language was a legacy of a former Mediterran dictator.

Tuta i musika
Difranto gusti
Triž uniko

Nuša puve
Kaña lë monda
Per lë buna

Kanta kon mja!
Musika!
Vi vulja piaži
Oh, oh—

Kanta kon mja!
Musika!
Vi vulja piaži
Oh, oh, oh!

The song ended slowly but received a cheer from the Artsakhiani crowd. Together, the members thanked the audience in English, Kalosian, and Armenian and then left the stage.

The Republic of Mediterra / Republika Mediterranija
NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST RP AS MEDITERRA. AFTER THIS ENDS, WE WILL PERMANENTLY BE KNOWN AS KALOSIA.

Maria Papadopaloupolous - "My Happiness"
Age: 11 years old
Languages: English
Tune: "Another World"

Maria Papadopaloupolous walked on stage with two other back up dancers. She was dressed in an elegant Blue and White Dress, while her back up dancers, who were both girls, were dressed in shorter, more casual Dresses. The background showed an image of a sunrise, with trees growing at an unrealistic, quick speed, almost hiding the sun at which point the music begins playing. The dancers both began to do simple dance moves, which consist of various arm movements, and a twirl every now and then.

My beautiful, oh beautiful world I live in.
I just want to see the world that I live in.
It's like a life full of joy, can you feel it?
But hey, hey, everyone, you should live it!

The sun then begins to rise above the trees, and rays of lights shine through the trees.

You can just survive
Or you can be brought to life

The sun now swiftly rises way above the trees, and seems to grow. Lights of different shades of yellow, red, and orange light up the stage.

Have you ever felt?
Felt so alive?
This world contributes to my happiness

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

Everyday... In every way... ooh

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

The colors of the sun fade, however it still remains above the trees. The camera zooms out, where lakes, animals, and mountains are visible. The camera keeps zooming out as the song continues.

Is it me, is it you, or is just how we are?
This world is beautiful, no matter where we are.
It can take us higher, I can feel it.
But hey, hey, everyone, you should live it!

You can just survive
Or you can be brought to life

The lights from the sun come back, and this time, the pillars on the side erupt in a beautiful golden color, which seems to brighten up the stage even more.

Have you ever felt?
Felt so alive?
This world contributes to my happiness

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

Everyday... In every way... ooh

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

All of my happiness

That's why it gives me all my happiness

The lights dim a bit, though the stage is still clearly visible.

Maybe if you find out its secret
You would know, you would know, to look for it

Not too far away, you've just got to find it
It's closer, much closer than you think!

The lights go completely dim for these verses. Maria is only visible by a single spotlight. The dancers also stop for this part.

Have you ever felt?
Felt so alive?
This world contributes to my happiness

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

The lights come back to it's bright, golden display, and the dancers begin to dance again.

Everyday... In every way... ooh

Have you ever felt?
Felt so alive?
This world contributes to my happiness

Contributes to my happiness

This world contributes to my happiness.

It builds me up.
It never stops.
That's why it gives me all my happiness

Yeah...!

It builds me up.
It never stops.

They all finish with a finishing pose, and she thanks the crowd warmly and exits off the stage with the dancers.

Ania
Anka Cyganka
Tune: Natalia Kukulska - Puszek Okruszek
Language: Polish
Title translation: Anka the Gypsy Girl (Anka and Ania are other forms of the name Anna)

Ania is standing on the stage in the clothes she is wearing on the photo. There is a big green meadow, a yellow sun and a blue sky on the screen. The sun is spinning. The colourful lights outshine the whole stage. There are 4 girls in the similar clothes who are dancing behind Ania while she's singing. The melody starts and 10-years-old girl begins:

Słońce uśmiecha się (The sun smiles to me)
Bawić się ze mną chce (It wants to play with me)
W ten piękny letni czas (In this beautiful, summer time)
Wyruszam z mamą w las (I go with my mum to the forest)
Kocham świat wokół mnie (I love he world around me)
Bo co dzień zmienia się (Because it changes everyday)
Nie lubię w miejscu stać (I don't like standing in one place)
Lecz śpiewać, tańczyć, grać. (But singing, dancing, playing)

Then the dancers come in front of Ania. She takes the microphone and walks along the stage singing the refrain:

Anka Cyganka (Anka the Gypsy girl)
Anka Zachcianka (Anka the fad)
Mówią rodzice (My parents say so)
I koleżanka (And my friend)
Anka Cyganka (Anka the Gypsy girl)
Bez wianka (Without the wreath)
Który zrobiła dziś z polnych ziół (That she had made of meadow herbs)
Z nim wciąż biegała (She was still running with it)
Tak od poranka (From the morning)
Dopóki go nie zgubiła znów (Until she lost it again)
Dopóki go nie zgubiła znów (Until she lost it again)

The dancers slow down and hide behind the singer. Ania stands in one place singing the next versus. It started raining on the meadow on the screen.

Czasem w deszczowe dni (Sometimes in the rainy days)
Bardzo nudzi się mi (I am bored)
W głowie pomysłów sto (A hundred ideas in my head)
Co z nimi zrobić? Co? (What should I do with them? What?)
Rodzice mówią, że (The parents say to me)
Mogę robić co chcę (That I can do anything I want)
A ja chcę poznać świat (But I want to explore the world)
Bo mam już dziesięć lat (Because I am already ten)

Then everything returns to normal. The music is more powerful now. Ania is dancing a bit with the dancers. She sings the last refrain:

Anka Cyganka (Anka the Gypsy girl)
Anka Zachcianka (Anka the fad)
Mówią rodzice (My parents say so)
I koleżanka (And my friend)
Anka Cyganka (Anka the Gypsy girl)
Bez wianka (Without the wreath)
Który zrobiła dziś z polnych ziół (That she had made of meadow herbs)
Z nim wciąż biegała (She was still running with it)
Tak od poranka (From the morning)
Dopóki go nie zgubiła znów (Until she lost it again)
Dopóki go nie zgubiła znów (Until she lost it again)

Then, while the dancers are hiding behind Ania, she bows to the audience.

by **The Royal Kingdom of Quebec** » Sun Feb 10, 2013 4:50 pm

OOC: R Hotels is the luxurious, boutique hotel brand across the World. It's Quebecois and is based in Quebec City, TRKQ.
Also, the Quebecois entry will be available sometime at the end of the week.

The night prior to JWHF1....

Suite 1712,R Stepanarvashat Hotel

John Kwileski was with Eric Swarovski, his best friend of 6 years and the bassist of the band. 3 other bandmates and John's girlfriend, Anna, was currently at the hotel restaurant, finishing the dinner.
John and Eric, meanwhile, arrived earlier because of this important matter. The matter that

They remembered how the resistance forces were held to the ground, retreating after long months of battle. For so long, they were able to defend the northwestern part of the land. However, the Republican Forces have now pushed even further to the brink, where their hours were numbered. Both of them well knew that once caught, they will be tortured vigorously, followed by public execution with their beloved ones. And let's not even speak of what would happen to Anna, who would be raped in addition to that.....
So, John's father, the Colonel Alexandre Kwileski, told him and his friends to somehow defect and find residency in Quebec, where his uncle lives. And the first steps to achieve this is by escaping to a nation that is close to Quebec, and to found refuge in an embassy. So far, they managed to succeed by joining as the part of the TUE delegation to Artsakhestan, as there was no other way to go(most of the infrastructure for transportation were in ruins). Now, they, who were with the rest of the TUE delegation at the hotel(they ,

John, with the phone on his suite, called the Quebecois Embassy on Stepanarvashat after a long struggle with the phone book and internet.

Ambassador's Office, The Quebecois Embassy, Stepanarvashat

Gerard Fillion, the Quebecois Ambassador to Artsakhestan and Euskirribakondara, was in another of his after-hours work. Lately, It was particularly busy for the ambassador. The Quebecois Embassy at Harrikes was still on the reconstruction stage after the collapse of the embassy during the disaster of the previous Summer. Mister Ernest Lavoie, then-Ambassador to Euskirribakondara, was in a critical condition and won't be fit to duty until the March. So, Gerard, a bright but often tired 35 year old diplomat, had to take care of diplomatic duties as the ambassador to both Euskirribakondara and Artsakhestan.

But he was doing it rather well, and so far, with great results and achievement. An example would be of the sister city bonding between St.John's and Aranes, as well as the expansion of the Harrikes-Montreal route's frequency from 14 flights a week to maximum 28.
However, there was a particular problem at the moment: The QBU has found that their participant, The Monochromes, were caught in the customs and had to be quarantined. So, in middle of Artsakhestan, the nation's stuck, without replacement.

In middle of the thought process, Emery, his assistant, entered the room with a telephone.
"Monsieur Fillion, we have an emergency call." he said, in a desperate tone.
"Who is it? Tell him or her to wait until the following day. I'm currently stuck in middle of torturing paperwork, and could not handle a call when not in mood." replied the Ambassador, clearly evident that he was tired, after the weight of long hours' work. His voice was rather low and lacked the power that he originally has.
"Well, sir.... It's of urgent importance, the visitor says."
"Ok, then. Hand me the phone."

"Hello, Mister." said the first voice, which was of John.
"Hello. What's of your need?" asked the Ambassador.
"Well, we are from The Ultimate Evil and we are begging for our lives to defect into your nation."
"Well, too bad. We could not always accept the needs of defection from TUE. Besides, we do not know that you're spy sent from Hellhole." Gerard quickly shot back, thinking that it's a prank call.
Then, Eric spoke, with much of a threatening and supportive position. "Well, actually, me and my friends are part of the resistance forces that were financially supported by I believe, the Royal Quebec Forces. In fact, me and my friend who just talked to earlier, are sergeants in the forces. We could
"What deal? Ha?" he asked curiously. He, for once, resembled Carl Hanratty from Catch Me if You Can, the film that he enjoyed.
"Well, I am the leader of the band, Ersinkfjord. It's completely different from un-music that was performed and will be performed by previous and current TUE artists. If you accept us 6 to a successful defection from The Ultimate Evil by escaping to your embassy right after it ends, we will perform under Quebec, and will make sure that your debut will be successful." commented John, his sweet but bitter voice luring the ambassador.
That, of course, did work very well. He was under pressure, and did not want to screw up. So, in the end, he agreed.
"Deal then. Come to the Quebecois Green Room by 17:30, and we will take care of security startung then." replied the ambassador, who then hung up.

Gapu Gapu Gupi Gupi by Karina Magddalena and Chong Ji-Hyun
to the tune of Maru Maru Mori Mori

Pink= Karina
Blue= Ji-Hyun
Normal= Both

Karina and Ji-Hyun were standing on top of a regular school desk, after in rehearsal the cameramen found out they were too short to be seen by the regular camera, and needed a little lift, about 6 inches off the ground for best view. Anyways, a bird flew in on the screen pulling a large square as the first notes played. Then, a child began to do the dance to the song on screen, encouraging the crowd to join in as Karina and Ji-Hyun began to sing, lyrics rotating on the circular screens on either side (left: Bloodbathian, right with English/Arteshkani translations):

Gapu gapy gupi gupi, (Glub Glub Guppy Guppy)
oto shori areh ko, (We play with you all day)
upu upu miko romnu (Spit spit flap flap)
pip nisti aya! (Throwing you back in and oh!)
Aradeniyo... (Swim away, young one)
Apa, apa, (Swim, swim)
apa, apa, apa. (Swim, swim, swim)
Apa, apa, (Swim, swim)
apa apa, (Swim swim)
apa! (Swim!)

Ji-Hyun now had a fishbowl in his hands, and Karina sang to the fish inside, while they both danced with it:

Nete vi, guste (Sea bass, I love you)
ari go medako. (But you belong somewhere else)
Ano sin semituutye, (It may be a sin to keep you away from home)
ikor omenyo miko i si mel ko. (But your colorful gills attract us all to you)

People began to do the dance, as it showed on screen again. This time, around 5 of their friends from school joined them onstage. Ji-Hyun and Karina were off their desks, and on the large circle closest to the audience, leading them in dancing as they sang the melody:

Gapu gapy gupi gupi, (Glub Glub Guppy Guppy)
oto shori areh ko, (We play with you all day)
upu upu miko romnu (Spit spit flap flap)
pip nisti aya! (Throwing you back in and oh!)

Tangocito (Little Tango) - Agustina Levallois - 13 ys.
Tune: Te Aviso, Te Anuncio - Shakira
Language: Castellano
-------------------------------------------------------------

Agustina is a 13 years old girl, always smiling and happy. She is wearing traditional tango clothes: a red dess, red dot in her hair and black, shining tango shoes. She is holding a conversation with the Calimeran media, about how proud she is how many Calimeran traditions can be see in her song, when suddenly the host: Dalita, asks Agustina to come and 'do her thing'.

Agustina is accompanied with a whole crew, and a lot of very very big cloths. On stage, there are some tables on wheels, but these tables are 'invisible' because the table is surrounded by 'a sea of cloths': something like this.

Agustina climbs on the table and then the Calimeran Bandeon (like an accordion but slightly different) starts playing, she starts singing in her sweet but strong voice:

Nunca sabia que vivi en un sueño ( I never knew I lived in a dream)
Porque la noche es joven y dulce con mi (Because the night is sweet and young for/with me)
La verdad que ya no se mas que (The truth is that I don't know anymore what)
que es el remedio por este dolor (what the medicine is for this pain)

The table were she stands on starts moving around, and the cloths start making a movement similar to a storm on the sea. Agustina looks down, and continues:

Bailamos el tango (We dance the tango)
Ay tu paso, mi paso es de gran clase (O your step, my step has a lot of quality)
Ahora lo hacemos juntos (Now we do it together)
Vos sabes que ya no estoy enojada (You know I'm not angry)
A prueba de patada ((I'm) Kick-Proof)
Para vos yo estoy con un sonrisa (For you I'm with a smile)
encantada como la Mona Lisa (Happy like the Mona Lisa)
Que Gardel* y los grandes aprenden a ti (That the great ones learn you how to (Dance the tango))
Nuestra cuento sera mejor asi (Our story will be better like this)

*Music*
Agustina starts making moves of the tango on her table, when suddenly on another table a a boy appears, his table moves towards her, and together they dance the tango. Before Agustina starts singing again, he fades away in the waves of the 'simulated sea'.

Quedarte quieto no es algo muy sencillo (Keeping Quiet isn't so simple)
C' un agujero blanco hecho por, yo! (Like a white hole made by, me!)
Pero todo lo que digo yo (But everything I told)
Y tambien las palabras de ti, (And also your own words)
Lo perdes sin un si (You loose (them))

Bailamos el tango (We dance the tango)
Ay tu paso, mi paso es de gran clase (O your step, my step has a lot of quality)
Ahora lo hacemos juntos (Now we do it together)
Vos sabes que ya no estoy enojada (You know I'm not angry)
A prueba de patada ((I'm) Kick-Proof)
Para vos yo estoy con un sonrisa (For you I'm with a smile)
encantada como la Mona Lisa (Happy like the Mona Lisa)
Que Gardel y los grandes aprenden a ti (That the great ones learn you how to (Dance the tango))
Nuestra cuento sera mejor asi (Our story will be better like this)

Agustina claps in her hands, and the storm that's simulated with the 'sea of cloths' calms down. A little 'stream' of light illuminates her. She puts her hands out, and continues singing.

Es para llorar que el no esta mas (It's to cry that he isn't here anymore)
El grando maestro Gardel (The great teacher Gardel)

Bailando (Dancing)
Tu pasos son reumatico, feisimo, patetico (Your moves/steps are reumatic, horrible, patetic)
Vos no bailes el tango ni un poco (You don't dance the tango not even a little)
Una mentira lo que yo vivo, porque (It's I lie that I lived because)
ni bailas un poco, y me da penas si! (You don't even dance a little (correct), and that regrets me)

The simulated sea starts to move like a storm again. Agustina makes some tango movements, claps in her hands, and the lights that illuminate the sea turn red. She continues singing:

Ay tu paso, mi paso es de gran clase (O your step, my step has a lot of quality)
Ahora lo hacemos juntos (Now we do it together)
Vos sabes que ya no estoy enojada (You know I'm not angry)
A prueba de patada ((I'm) Kick-Proof)
Para vos yo estoy con un sonrisa (For you I'm with a smile)
encantada como la Mona Lisa (Happy like the Mona Lisa)
Que Gardel y los grandes aprenden a ti (That the great ones learn you how to (Dance the tango))
Nuestra cuento sera mejor asi (Our story will be better like this)

Agustina 'accidentely' (not) fells into the sea, and crowd surfes over the gulfs for some seconds, then she climbs on one of the invisible tables again.

Sera Mejor (it would be better)
Sera Mejor (it would be better)
Ah! Eh! Eh!
Veni vos con mi! (You come with me)

la la la la la la la la eh!
eh eh eh eh!

Quidate Cielo mio (Stay my dear)
Veni, mano a mano conmigo (Come, hand in hand with me)

Agustina smiles stops singing, the typical Calimera bandeon keeps playing. Agustina smiles, and the sea of waves, together with Agustina, disappear...

Gori has spiky black hair and Aija has long black hair in two pony tails at the back of her head and wearing microphone headsets. The spotlights are on the pair. As the music begins, the stage is lit up, during the intro all on stage are alternating between running on the spot and waving their arms in the air. When they start to sing, the dancers begin their routine with hand-fans while Aija and Gori walk around the stage singing.

Oliqualav bi shelev ulim ve Morlav bi alim
Ani kun zentri Raulava, glau izram mai Ribalavac.
Berglav greizta Hizlava. Niralem hezi Coralava.
Ani shni Dufalema, ek b’ i Lutalavac.

They, then start dancing during the chorus. Meanwhile the stage is projected like a meadow with flowers and butterflies. There are some animals like cows, tigers, penguins, fish and goats etc going by on the screens

Gori and Aija, hold hands on the stage, they both look up at the sky and look in awe, while saying…

They dance again.

At the end they come together in a group in the middle of the stage to pose, All the lights go off, apart from a central beam on the kids on the stage. The audience applauses. All on stage bow, Gori and Aija shout: “grad, Dunjalav!” (thank you world!)

Artist: Sa’Niyah | Age: 15
Tune: I'm Gonna Run To You - Bridgit Mendler
Language: English & Romanian

The stage lights turn on with Sa’Niyah standing in the middle with three backup dancers behind her. They are all facing opposite the crowd as the lights fades again before turning multiple colors of red, pink, purple, and blue. At that moment, the music begins playing and the girls dance in rhythm, each one of them moving in perfect harmony. They all wear paint splattered shirts, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Two of the backstage dancers flips while Sa’Niyah slides, turns around, and faces the crowd for the first time.

“Alo!” Sa’Niyah says in her slight Romanian accent. “Before we begin, I thought what better way to have fun than to allow everyone back home to watch our performance live!”

Suddenly the large screen turns on revealing over a thousand screaming and cheering Vampirian fans of hers from a live feed. Turning around she waves to the screen before facing the audience again and begins singing.

I know you see me
Causing I’m looking
Staring across the room.
There’s a reason,
I’ll find it
I can show you how it goes.
Cause I’m so hooked you know it.
My heart keeps showing,
My breath is slowing.
I got to get your number
And you know I’ll never stop.

Both of the backup dancers move to either end of the stage and begins clapping their hands to the beat. The lights switches to a bright purple.

Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu.
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu.

You keep hiding
Our eyes colliding,
I’m out to pursue.
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu

The dancers change places while raising their hands and clapping to the song. While Sa’Niyah dances enthusiastically to the melody. Smiling brightly she then starts the second verse.

Can you see me
See me coming
I’m gonna get you now.
Yeah when I get you
I’m never lettin’ go.
And yeah your smile is contagious
I keep on catching,
Won’t let me rest and
I can’t deny this feeling.
My love going through the ceiling.

The dancers and Sa’Niyah dance together again before she twirls and stops just before singing the chorus again.

Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu

You keep hiding
Our eyes colliding
Yeah I’m about to pursue.
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu.

Sa’Niyah claps her hands before pointing out into the crowd.

Every second,
I’m moving closer
Wait till I get ya.

Every minute,
I need you more
When you’re here, ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhh when you’re here.

Just then fourteen more dancers come out onto the stage and they all begin clapping together.

Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu

You keep hiding
Our eyes colliding
Yeah I’m about to pursue.
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu.

“Let’s hear you sing it with me!” Sa’Niyah grins. The dancers begin skipping across the stage before dancing to the rhythm again. The crowd on the screen and the audience grows louder as she sings the chorus again.

Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu
Eu va dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi, dovedi mea dragoste este toate pentru tu

You keep hiding
We keep colliding
Yeah I’m about to pursue.
Gonna prove, prove, prove, prove, prove my love is all for you.

As she finishes the chorus large sets of multicolored balloons and streamers falls into the crowd and onto the stage.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
La, la, la, la, la, la

When I get you, get you, get you, oh yeah
When I get you, get you, get you.

When I get you, get you, get you, oh yeah
When I get you, get you, get you.

As the song ends Sa’Niyah blows a kiss at the crowd. “Mulțumesc! Thank you very much!” She turns to the screen and waves at her screaming fans before walking off the stage with the many dancers behind her. The screen then goes blank.

13.Royal Kingdom of Québec

Shower,Ersinkfjord

Composed by: Rob Davis, Pascal Marcoux
Written by: John Kwileski, Pascal Marcoux
Melody: Holocene, Bon Iver

The members of Ersinkfjord were very nervous, as they waited for their turn in the green room. Not only due to the security concerns associated with their plan for defection(even after having 8 bodyguards for protection), which could work very well, they were also nervous about the fact that they're representing The Royal Kingdom of Quebec for its first-ever JWHF.

Now, the Vampirite entry was on. Thinking of too much things about the defection, they started to get irritated over it. Pascal, who immediately figures this out, opens his mouth.
"Don't worry too much." said Pascal, assuring the groupmates that they'll succeed. "Once we arrive in Quebec, we could stay in my aunt's place for while, then move out."
"Or maybe we could live in our own, getting the governmental grants to get a place to live, and playing music for living." said Eric in a slightly positive tone.
"But the only concern is that we were only at the 5th Grade(So, in Quebecois educational system, 9th Grade) and it's the mandatory educational requirement to complete up to Grade 10....." commented Rob.
"True. But you know what? We could talk about this after we manage to land in Quebec. So, let's get ourselves ready for this." John immediately shot back, then quickly turned around and asked, "Wait. Ou-est ma fille?"
"Elle est a l'ambassade Quebecoise. N'inquiete pas!(She's at Quebecois Embassy. Don't worry!)." replied Pascal, which quickly calmed John down. He didn't want his girlfriend to be left without security. He was unable to bring her to the Green Room due to possible kidnapping issue, or at hotel because anyone from TUEan delegation might kidnap her and do something horrible to her. If so, it'll be a very complicated and messy process, as it involves three countries at least(Artsakhestan, TUE and Quebec), as well as the possible risk associated with losing lives.

And right on time, an official came up and told John that the contest's on. John then stood up and told his friends of so many years.
"Let's go, guys. We have a song to perform, that will grant our way into the promised land."
Then, they got off from their own, special zone in the Green Room. Eric and Rob walks into the left side, while Pascal and walks into the other side.

They entered the stage, just as all the lights in the complex are turned off. Unfortunately, it took a while for the band members to set their instruments in the right place and volume, so several minutes were wasted before they were able to start their performance.
"Stupid stage staff," Eric gruntled silently, before the song started.

John started the song with a gentle guitar introduction for first 22 seconds. As he plays guitar, the various scenes of mountains, that of the rebel-held Northwestern mountains of The Ultimate Evil were shown. The view was breathtaking: The clear, dark waters of the river perfectly mixing with the tall, densely wooded mountains on both sides of the land. In middle of the river, a canoe, with 2 teenagers, are shown rowing.
The camera was showing the whole stage instead of just the band, as the pale blue lights slowly shone over each members of the band in circles, one each for a member.

After the guitar intro, Pascal and Rob joins to play, adding the sounds of keyboard and xylophone to the music. Now, the music was brilliantly complimenting the atmosphere and background of the song. On the LCD screen, it shows them proceeding further, as the light layers of clouds were on the sky, with a group of birds flying over.

The introduction is played for another 20 seconds(so,until 0:45 of the video), and John took a breath and sang. His voice was different than that of the previous Quebecois participants: His creamy, knit-capped Falsetto, which were still soft while comfortable for the listeners and performers. He was singing without any trouble in pitch or intonation, something that is not easy when it comes to singing in Falsetto.
After the first line of the song, which ends at "close from you", drops of rain slowly falls from the sky, fitting the winter shower that the lyrics were talking about.

At somewhere faraway,
but close from you
Over the winter shower,
Softly falling down into our hands
from the light layers of vapor

Then, all the lights were turned off except for a pale, blue light that was aimed at John, as he sings louder, in Mezzo-Forte.

First Chorus
As we row miles
across the river upstream,
as it slowly descends
into the heart of the mountains

Rob and Pascal started to play the solo, as all the lights were turned off.
The stage and background changed: The raindrop gradually stops, with the fog lightly draping the stage floor. LED Screen now shows the couple in the canoe stops rowing and look over . Then, they slowly came stop in middle of the river, looking over the sky, with bird flying.
After the solo, he continued singing, with more emotions behind.

Flowing to the sound

As the soft breeze comes and goes,
Over the darkening sky
With the canvas slowly painted
darker and darker,
with birds passing right over our eyes

First Chorus ends here.

The background screen quickly changes to this.
After the first sentence, it changes to this. By then, the starry lights shone upon the roof and the audience.

Suddenly, all the lights that were aimed at the band quickly diverted to the centre, as the very same couple from the screen entering the frontmost circle(OOC: the circle stage on the very front) via the underground trap door. They looked innocent and sweet, obviously in love. The couple, looking into the stars, pointing at them.
Now, the accompaniment was in full-scale playing mode.

Then as the light fades over the horizon,
we stop for a night,
As you cannot take another step
while watching over the night sky
with the stars say 'Hello'
I smile, as I look into your eyes

John reduced the dynamics into Piano, holding onto his emotions. Now, the couple were circling each other, hands on each other's waist and looking into each other's eyes. The sight of this was so adorable, and fitting, to the second chorus. This symoblised the uniting of them, to bind power together to get through the hard times.

Second Chorus:
It may seem as if the road is
without a sight
But we both know that
we should just move on, on and on,
cause we cannot go back,
as the memories flashback

Now, the snow slowly falls over the stage, with all the lights now turned off. The stage was completely dark, except John Kwileski, who continued to sing it in very soft, light voice. It was an Acapella, which increased his stage presence.

As we row miles
across the river upstream
Looking into mountains
Covered with light snow
as it slowly descends
under the morning sky,

Now, the lights changed to this, as John and the entire band plays the music in Forte, bursting into emotions that they were carrying over.

Second Chorus

Just as the song was over, all the lights were turned back into white. All 5 members of the band and their 2 friends (that very couple, who were actually in relationship) came into the stage and vowed to the audience, who replied with cheers, standing ovations and applauses.
"Thank you, Artsakhestan. Hope to see you very soon!" Pascal Marcoux cheerfully shouted in his pre-puberty voice(Justin Bieber-like), and left the stage.

On their way back to the green room, they started to discuss about their performance.....

"I guess we did the great job." Pascal said. "And earned our way to the entry to the blessed land."
"God. It was so nerve-taking that I thought of singing Tyolki Ellaa instead of shower when I first entered (the stage)..." John cheerfully joked, as his fellow comrades looked at him suspiciously.
"That's random!" Rob said. They quickly gave a huge laugh and went back into the their green room zone, where they'll be able to rest for rest of the contest. They did a great job and deserves one.

Kana Viduvika (To My First Love)
sung by Medugareng Nebovratya
to the tune of Lerika-Sensatsiya

Medugareng, or for easier purposes Megan, was ready on stage. She had a big dance-pop number, a big hit with fans her age and older. The announcer tried to say her full name, but stumbled. Medugareng laughed this off. She walked on stage, her 4 backing dancers dressed in their cutest party outfits. Megan was wearing this coral green cocktail dress, which went down to her knees. The lights slowly rose from darkness, and by the end of the intro showed her and her friends arranged on stairs, with Megan standing high on top. With a flick of her arm and kick of the leg, she began the song, and brought her dancers to life, continuing to walk down the stairs for the first verse.

Moja kragen samo viduvi, (I never felt love like this before)
ime konye smetya. (It took me by surprise)
Ime kajasi ye posniyem, (It made me feel like butterflies in my stomach)
canoi si flis kufra. (When you're in my sight)

Megan was in the center of the stage, 2 dancers on each side. They had dropped their bags, and are now wearing knee-highblack latex boots. She slowly swivled her hips and went from the floor up as the notes got higher before the chorus:

Ti, (You)
nemi, (and I)
Vidu flis ak nyo! (Love is never out of our sights)

The chorus kicked in, and the dancers began their routine as Megan encouraged the audience to join. She didn't join them yet, for she didn't want to run out of breath too early.

Viduvika, (My first love)
ti somen na kraya, (You make me feel so happy)
na uyek y semi su ushe ti. (So nervous yet excited with you)
Cranado, (When in school)
noite y da si dromen. (I dream of you)
op nije masto, (Oh if you could be mine)
mi viduvika. (My first love)

Suddenly, from the bottom of the stage, a boy her age popped up right in front of Megan. She turned back to her friends, mumbled a bit, obviously blushing, but he froze, as she sang the second verse, seducing him as his face turned to fear and scared:

Ahonui Haldagarrián - "He Aloha!"
Age: 12 years old
Languages: Euskara, Hawaiian, Aranese
Title Translation: Aloha Everyone!
Tune: Here

Meaning of Aloha: The Hawaiian word 'Aloha', commonly used as a greeting, is a concept that encompasses many many things. Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligations in return. Aloha is the ssence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. It can be broken down into the following five concepts: akahai (kindness), lōkahi (unity), 'olu'olu (agreeable), ha'aha'a (humility) and ahonui (patience). Depending on the context and syntaxis, the word can also mean: affection, mercy, sympathy, compasion, pity, kindness, grace, sentiment, charity, sweetheart, loved one, beloved, loving, compassionate, lovable, to love, be fond of, remember with affection, venerate, greet, hail. To show kindess, pity, mercy, affection of charity.

Ahonui Haldagarrián, dressed like this was totally and completely ready to present her song to the world. It had been a long time of rehearsals, and also a lot of fun... After all, the Artsakhianis were the Euskal brothers. And that includes lots of things..... Even the 'friendship' culture around here. She'd be joined on stage by three girls and two boys (all around 12 years old), also dressed in traditional Hawaiian costumes (THIS for boys, THIS for girls). And even though it was a large stage, all of them were confident on how they'd perform. They came to have fun..... Disregarding their final result in the competition.

The stage was set in summer colours (shades of red, orange and yellow), and sand was all around the floor of the front circle of the stage. A tiny bungalow was behind it, topped with two beautiful (actually natural) palmtrees. The back of the stage was covered with smoke and displaying a kind of blue light... Evocating the ocean. The back pillars of the stage, that could be used as screen, were just displaying a beautiful Bondargaran sunset (Bondargara is the Polynesian-like province of Euskirribakondara).

Artsakhestan had just performed, and in a matter of seconds, it was Euskirribakondara's turn. The props were rapidly set up on stage and Ahonui and her team arrived just in time. The song.... started; and Ahonui had to start showing off her voice and skills. The lights began to flash with the music (as in the video), and on each flash, she and her crew shifted to a different position. When the clapping sound begins {0.44}, Ahonui went to the center of the front circle, whilst the other five kids went running around the stage inviting everyone to join the fun (as in "hey, come on, enjoy this!").

(OOC: Translation between brackets.)

Bai, bai (Yes, yes)

Nir'erritmoa entzuten du (Listen to my rhythm)
Nire ilusioekin 'ta (With my illusions)
Loekin batera, era....mango zaitu (And dreams, it will take/carry you)

The kids gathered in the center and formed a circle around Ahonui. A camera from the roof made a pretty beautiful image of the kids going around Ahonui as she sang. Then, the camera showed the big smile in Ahonui's face... Such a captivating smile that most shots during the performance would be focused on this foreground.

Bondargarako hondar... (In the beaches of Bondargara)
Tzetan poztasuna baino (There's nothing)
Gehiago ez dago, he aloha! (But joy, aloha everyone!)

Some pyros exploded around the stage to mark the beginning of the proper chorus. The kids made a straight line and began swinging their bodies left and right, holding each other by the hands. A cross between Taloan hula dance and an upbeat choreography. You could notice Ahonui's effort to not lose her breath; after all, she's a junior artist. However, she was delivering very well.

Hiki! Gure espiritua da! (Yes! It is our spirit!)
Hiki! Batera ospatzen dugu! (Yes! We're celebrating together!)
Hiki! Gure unea da! (Yes! It is our moment!)
He alooooha! (Aloha everyone!)

'A'ole! Tristurarik da egon behar! (No! There shall be no sadness!)
'A'ole! Da borrokatu behar! (No! We mustn't fight!)
'A'ole! Dugu amore emango! (No! We will not surrender!)
'A'ole loa.... Non! (Never...... no!)

They went to the back, and the kids began playing with the fake coconuts of the palm trees, whilst the girls began crafting lei (flower garlands). Ahonui started to walk around them, and the camera was following her. Her connection with the audience (both there and through the screen) was doing incredibly good.

I kekahi manawa (Sometimes)
He mea iki, no ke aha? (It's just a small thing, but why?)
Zergatik kezkatzen gaitu?... No ke aha? (Why does it upset us?... Why?)

Spins and simple yet nice moves were being done by the six children in unison. Ahonui kept singing.... Very good for a girl her age; and very passionately for a kid who had written her own song. The flags kept waving in the venue.

I ko'u mana'o (I think so)
'O ia paha he hele hana hou (Perhaps I do it frequently myself)
M'enforaréi... I kēia manawa.... Manawa iki (I shouldn't pay attention... to these (the bad) moments)

The chorus kicked in again, and this time, the back screen showed splashing waves (that also sounded all over the venue); the choreography of the six was now even more upbeat. The audience kind of incorporated itself with the choreography (as in the video), and one could perceive just good energies were coming out of this presentation.

Hiki! Gure espiritua da! (Yes! It is our spirit!)
Hiki! Batera ospatzen dugu! (Yes! We're celebrating together!)
Hiki! Gure unea da! (Yes! It is our moment!)
He alooooha! (Aloha everyone!)

'A'ole! Tristurarik da egon behar! (No! There shall be no sadness!)
'A'ole! Da borrokatu behar! (No! We mustn't fight!)
'A'ole! Dugu amore emango! (No! We will not surrender!)
'A'ole loa.... 'A'ole loa.... Non! (Never.... Never..... no!)

The lights faded, and the stage was illuminating itself, creating a very nice halo seen in the screens. Then, Ahonui left the microphone in the floor and began a haka with her team. A haka is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and prominent stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. (Combined with some of the movements seen in the video)... The sand in the floor was also used in the dance, and the result was a visually spectacular event.

Then the microphone was (almost magically) returned to her and she kept singing. This time, walking around the stage making little hula steps; as her team kept dancing a haka-like choreography.

Hiki! He aloha! (Yes! Aloha everyone!)
Hiki! He aloha! (Yes! Aloha everyone!)
I kēia manawa iki!.... 'Ē! 'Ē! Ma'ane'i! (It is the moment!.... Already! Already! Here!)
Ho! (Oh!)

Hiki! He aloha! (Yes! Aloha everyone!)
Heeeeeey aloha! (Hey! Aloha!)
He aloha...... Guztiaaaaaaaaaaaaak! (Aloha everyone! Everyooooooone!)
He aloha, ho (Aloha everyone, hey!)

Gure espiritua da! (Yes! It is our spirit!)
Hiki! Batera ospatzen dugu! (Yes! We're celebrating together!)
Hiki! Gure unea da! (Yes! It is our moment!)
He alooooha! (Aloha everyone!)

'A'ole! Tristurarik da egon behar! (No! There shall be no sadness!)
'A'ole! Da borrokatu behar! (No! We mustn't fight!)
'A'ole! Dugu amore emango! (No! We will not surrender!)
'A'ole loa.... (Never!)

Ho! Ho!..... Bai! (Hey! Hey!...... Yes!)

A final set of pyros exploded around the arena and the kids made a bow. They were massively applauded and after some seconds, the kids yelled together...

Shnorhakalut'yun Stepanarvashat!

Then they went to the green room. The songs had finished... And the voting had to start.
