CONTENT WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS

Tesara Nira (host)
After many failed entries, it had transpired that the winning formula when it came to Urthvision was relatively simple. Step 1: disco. Step 2: collect one hundred and thirty two points from eighteen countries from around the world and break the legendary Curse of Kyrloth. Step 3: host the greatest party that Urth has ever seen.

And where better to do it than the cultural capital of Borea at the mouth of the River Dalry, the busy and bustling twin city of Azmarin/Zlovskavaar! From the arrival of the zrei through the thwarting of outside colonial powers to the modern day, this city of four million has always been a shining beacon of freedom to the rest of the Urth. So, live from the Táleu Arts Centre on the Azmarin peninsula, from the bottom of my heart, the hearts of all Kyrlots, and of all music-lovers across the world, welcome to Urthvision XV!

[hr]

Our first entry is from the Sacred Republic of Durdanini. We’re starting nice and mellow with a classic Milish ballad from Timtalum’s own Barend an Tiontaigh about finding faith in beauty. It’s sweet, it’s heartbreaking, it’s got a little bit of something for everyone. This is “Take Me to Church”.

https://youtu.be/vTIQvMSKRho

We’re in for a real special treat here. Up next are our dear friends in Dvalheim - the angelic voice of Eline Briak brings us a unique combination of a modern folk song coupled with traditional Dvalian instrumentation for a haunting new rendition of “My Mother Told Me”.

https://youtu.be/KRqIkTlGIOE

Performing third would be Tomeigh Butter from Sani Bursil, Morstaybishlia. However, just a few days before he was due to fly out to AZIA [Azmarin/Zlovskavaar International Airport], he decided to take part in a protest in support of the terrorists in the so-called Opposition! (Loud booing from the audience and some loudspeakers.) So since he’s a security risk, he’s not been let in the country - and because the Embies have told us it’s too late to send someone else, all we’re getting is a plain old audio recording. This is “1976” - let’s just hope his musical ability is better than his political opinions! (More booing as the song begins)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8-hqwi9BZM

Fourth to perform tonight is Reti del Laurel. Born in 1989, she came in late to the music industry of South Peragen, but has spent the last twenty years climbing that ladder and this year she’s been nominated by the Peragian Urthvision broadcaster RATESUPER to come to Kyrloth with this melodic and meaningful pop song that lingers on the aftermath of a messy breakup with her neighbour’s brother. South Peragen placed 7th last edition, can “The Rain” do better? We’ll find out soon.

https://youtu.be/-OtuM3Zvkeo?t=18

Next up we have AJR from Cascadii. The band was named after the three brothers from Portmorski who perform in it: Adam, Jacek, and Ryzan Metzger. Their style has made them the most popular band in Cascadii - will that hometown popularity translate into Urth-wide appeal? It all depends on their latest single, “Dużo Mniej Smutne”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhw3Kn-g0Zc

And now we go to Peregrinia, with Serven! He’s a singer-songwriter who’s well known for his soundtrack work in P-Dramas, and now he’s taking to the big stage. We know he can write - but can he sing? Signs point to yes. This is “The Me of Yesterday”

https://youtu.be/U1oaX2a_PGQ

Performing seventh is the previous host of Urthvision, New Leganés! Today they’re sending Louise Valdetortuga, who’s been a major star both at home and in South Hills ever since breaking through with her single “Misery” in 2002. She won the Cukish selection contest Tálek Védi with “Melt Your Heart”, complete with a traditional Tunseist prayer and Tauríllien tattoos. Unfortunately Louise couldn’t make it to Azmarin/Zlovskavaar in time, so she’s sent an absolutely stunning video instead.

https://youtu.be/XS088Opj9o0

Next up is a particularly controversial entry. Hléna Fluturaedia is here from Vivancantadia with a song named “El Diablo” after winning her National Final selection contest. But this song’s lyrics have caused some backlash from some religions groups, which is why Hléna wanted us to be absolutely clear that this song is metaphorical - she is falling in love with someone as bad as the devil - and no offence is meant to Tunseism or any other religious entities. So, without further ado, here it is: https://vimeo.com/518267079

https://youtu.be/MgGc1F_cOE8?t=12

Now it’s time for Linda Mhairtin from Meagharia! She was one of the first to embrace computer technology in her home country, leading to her unique style that’s made her very popular all around. This song tells a tale of war, of two lovers breaking up and reconciling while on opposite fronts of the conflict. When he was transferred back to her front, he was killed by a Milofite ambush, and never arrived at “Terminal 3”. Take it away!

Up next is Naomi Breckinridge from Blueacia. She won this year’s edition of Liet back in May after some fierce competition with entries from many of the countries also attending Urthvision. Has this trial by fire strengthened her performance, or have losses from her Liet rivals given them the chance to pick more powerful songs? We’re about to find out. Here is “Map To You”. https://vimeo.com/519074815

https://youtu.be/FY2rxbZNvZ0?t=12

We move on to the two twins from Bondoc, Sokala, Juan and Pedro Penduko. This dynamic duo is one of the most popular bands in their home country, hitting the top ten best-selling bands of the year three times so far. Can they make it four? If they win with their latest single, “Bad Guy”, they’ll certainly be in with a shot - it’s already #4 on the Sokalan Musical Billboards Record. And it sounds like this:

You might think you recognise one of the next performers - Ást, the vocalist, is actually the twin sibling of Einar from the Norse Warriors, who represented Norgsveldet two years ago in Kuthernburg. They became an overnight success the year before, and their recent works have dealt quite openly with their Dissociative Identity Disorder and PTSD. They are joined on stage by MAGNUS (I’m shouting because it’s written with all capital letters!) He was born in Rerirheimr, Kaldrbuth in 1995, and hit the national top 40 at the age of just nine! Since then, he’s put out four studio albums detailing myths and history. He got a number one single last year - can he hit number one tonight? This is “Óðinn”.

https://youtu.be/ch-fed2_swY?t=5

We’ve reached the halfway point of the competition! (Crowd cheers.) We’ve seen twelve great acts and we’re about to see twelve more. And for lucky number thirteen, we’re moving to Leila Sadoul from Alksearia! This is a great punk song where she describes the experiences of her recent life. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s storming up the Alkari official charts. This is “Teenage Years”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9GaVBdrZ78&t=6s

Up next, from Petra Cauda, is Luigi Betucci who is re-inventing an old classic, “Mambo Petrovia”, and bringing it forwards into the 21st century. At home, the track has seen massive success after popularisation in bars and lounges. It tells of modern lifestyles in Petra Cauda, where the old aristocracy throws away their traditional seafood to try some exciting new imported food and beverages. Take it away, Luigi!

https://youtu.be/T0mBRmjiVUk

Performing fifteenth is Mikhail Stravinski and the Iphelstad Swing Band. They hail from Iphelstad City, Iphelklori. They’ll be performing their most popular single to date, “Still Alive”, a sharp-shooting satire at the wont of some nations (the spotlight briefly sweeps over somebody holding the flag of Aduraszna; it is unclear if this is on purpose) to advance scientifically instead of culturally. Here’s the latest Iphelklorian chart-topper:

https://youtu.be/22vbhTi1ieI?t=6

Now from the Western Provinces, we have Seyn Jacobs, who is heading the Autsburg Youth Choir. “Hoor het Volkslied” is adapted from an old poem written during the First Suvani War, and although the message is thankfully one that isn’t needed anymore, least of all here in Kyrloth, it’s always nice to look back on the past and see how far we’ve come.

Our next performer hails from Greenwood, Nagato. “Unwritten” is her debut single from her debut album and it’s been an absolute smash on the Nagcon charts, selling nearly four million copies and spending over a year uninterrupted in the Hot 100, as well as becoming the unofficial graduation anthem of southwestern Gondwana. Will all this success outside Urthvision translate into votes? Well, it won’t quite yet - lines don’t open until everybody’s performed - but it could definitely happen.
Next up is Camélia Jordana from Tawuse. Born to immigrant parents, Camélia released this song in 2010. It was an immediate hit, and is still performed live to sold-out arenas to this day. “Moi C’est” is based on the emotions experienced when a relationship is one-sided, and finds itself today in performance slot number 18.
Nineteenth tonight is Bemuse, from Axdel. Bemuse are no strangers to Urthvision; they performed in edition VIII in New Leganés and Blueacia with “Push Me”, and all the way back in edition III with “Psycho”. Their songs have consistently done well both here and on the official charts across the world. This edition the recurring trio are playing a synthwave-inspired song titled "Algorithm" from their soon to be released album, "Theory of Simulation". With a twist in the genre and a lot of extra effort put into their visual performance, Bemuse is pulling out all the stops this round!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6r5AX9v-L4

Only five songs left! And the next is by Rachele Moschella from Fortuna. She debuted in 2015 - you may have heard her smash hit “Rosa, casa mia” on the radio before. She’s won Best Female Artist at the 2019 IFC Music awards and her latest project “RH19” was also nominated for Best Album. And it’s from RH19 that we get our next song, “L’amore sei tu”.

https://youtu.be/rMTfM28wAf8

Now we move to Tivot. Singer-songwriter Shabats was born in the midst of the Salovian civil war, and ever since joining the music industry he’s leaned on his experiences to dazzle the Salovian music world. Tonight he’s here to perform his latest smash hit “Loss / Another Day” - and don’t worry, folks, he’s perfectly healthy, it’s just a costume.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-g_SHNv5NI

Next up are our friends to the east, Nystatiszna! Hailing from the outskirts of Newport, Eirik Gronlund takes inspiration from the rich Borean musical traditions of the slow guitar and soulful voice to tell a tale of being wrongfully vilified for a crime he never committed. Ooh, maybe they should give some notes to Seyn Jacobs from the Western Provinces about timely, salient, and relevant messages that really need to be heard, eh? Here is: “Burn The Witch”.

https://youtu.be/KxLN2IQjIuk?t=25

Our last trip before we return to home soil is to Osterlicsh. Composed and performed by Ansdorf’s own Peiter Liebermann, “Der Kommissar” tells a classic love story about never giving up, through the streets, onto the subway, dodging the ticket inspectors, whatever it takes. Song 23:

https://youtu.be/aGc_jSOoZK0?t=17

And now, last but certainly not least, Kyrloth’s own home-grown heroes: Zieru 7! They’ve been a welcome presence on the Kyrlot Radio Charts for many many years now, but they’ve never quite been able to win the national selection to be our submission - until now! Long overdue, but what an edition to finally be able to appear in! Here is: “Swimmers”. Give them a great big round of applause! (The crowd cheers)

[hr]

Midway through the performance, the projector screen goes blank, and an alternative video file starts playing, labelled “Swimmers-v2.mp4”. As the band continues performing, unaware, and boos begin to be heard from the Tass-loyal crowd, different lyrics to the ones they are singing appear in the background, overlaid on graphic images and video footage of the https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/the_east_pacific/t-a-r-a-part-5-t18478.html:

We are sinners // Innocent lives
Pitch black evil // That night will never be made right
Tass is a killer // Losing the fight
The fascist dictator // Always lies, keeps it out of sight

FREE IRALA, FREE KYRLOTH, FREE BOREA
JUSTICE FOR THE 161, JUSTICE FOR ALL

Things begin to shake. Suddenly, one by one at first, and then in a cascade, the spotlights go out, quickly followed by all of the other lights, and then the power to the cameras and transmitters. Across Urth, people watching at home are suddenly shown a blank screen. It would later transpire that although Sinter Tass, who had been watching, had ordered the broadcast to be stopped, power to the Táleu Arts Centre had been cut before the Soldiers’ Guild had had a chance to do anything.

It would be ten excruciating minutes before KTV1 resumed the live broadcast.

Tesara Nira looks visibly shaken and worried, but is on strict orders to pretend that nothing untoward happened. The camera is strategically positioned to focus on just her and the green room, and not on any of the numerous fistfights currently happening in the crowd, or the police officers using tear gas on anyone showing the slightest hint of not cooperating. The microphones hanging above the crowd to catch the applause have been muted.

Tesara Nira (host)
Welcome back! We’ve just seen twenty-four amazing competitors with twenty-four superb songs. And now it’s time for Urth to decide which one’s best! Voting instructions are on screen now, so get calling! After all, if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain if your favourite doesn’t win.

OOC Voting instructions:
Post a reply in this thread that includes:

  • The name of the nation voting (especially if you have two nations voting)

  • Points to countries (12 points to the most popular entry, 10 to the second most popular, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points). Nations controlled by the same person cannot give each other more than 7 points.

  • Framing the vote as short speech from the country’s announcer á la Eurovision and https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/the_east_pacific/urthvision-xiv-t17932.html
    , as opposed to just a numbered list, is encouraged but not required.

The voting will run until the end of Sunday July 11th (by UTC) or until every participating nation has voted.

Tesara Nira
The lines won’t be open for long, but while they are, we’ve got a fantastic interval act showcasing the best of the Kyrlot music industry from all around. First up is Dzheiku Kóli’a with “Don’t You Know”, coming live from the Village Underground set in Vaarisvalla, who has sweeped award shows across Borea and sold out arenas worldwide with his eclectic mix of jazz, electronic, and pop.

https://youtu.be/c5FqpddnJmc?t=4

Let’s keep this jazz train rolling! This is the Sarcastic Dog, a massive and prestigious ultra-group with over forty members, and they’re here performing “Lingus” live from Kaiteutszia Studios in Erith. Fun fact - in 2016, this song set the record for longest song to hit number one on the Kyrloth Radio Official Charts!

The live jazz train’s making a stop in eastern Kyrloth, to the Fourth Patriotic War Memorial Tower in Korretis. I don’t know who gave Jaga Jazisata the budget for an HD camera drone, but it looks fantastic. This is “Spiral Era”!

(Independent journalists would note that the footage must have been pre-recorded; at the time, Korretis was being flooded by a tsunami wave caused by a quake off the southern coast of Aduraszna. On domestic channels, evacuation orders had been overlaid on top of the broadcast since before the interval acts had begun. KTV1 and other state-affiliated media would later claim that the cut broadcast during the Zireu 7 performance was nothing to do with The Opposition’s hacktivism and was instead due to a bug in the Urthquake Early Warning system that shut down transmissions instead of adding a warning graphic to them.)

And finally we go to AZIA Centre Stage, the revolutionary concert hall inside airport terminal six of Azmarin/Zlovskavaar International Airport! We’ll be watching Óneuda performing “Kerala” - proof positive that jazz doesn’t just mean jazz, and the influences of good music can go anywhere, even to - or rather, especially to - electronic genres.

Tesara Nira
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Pétra and Máne for hosting the https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/the_east_pacific/urthvision-xiv-t17932.html, and to all the performers in the hall tonight for helping to put on such an amazing show here at Táleu Arts Centre! Up here in the “frozen northern wastes” of Borea, we don’t tend to get much attention, so it’s inspiring and humbling to see so many people from all across the world turn up to support us and support the creative arts! And of course, I’d like to say a very special thank you to our fearless prime minister Sinter Tass, who’s kept this country safe from terrorism so we can par-tay! (Very loud cheering from the crowds and some loudspeakers.)

The people have spoken - so let’s see where the votes fall.

Great work everyone xD!!!

Stijn
“Hallo!”

Arban
“Sain uu.”

Matthias
“And, of course, hello from the Imperial Concert Hall in Autsburg! Let’s hope nothing goes wrong, eh? Hopefully someone double checked the cameras and lights-”

A little awkward laughter from the crowd, while Arban gives Matthias a dirty look

Stijn
“I’m sure it’ll be fine. Regardless, It is an honour to be heretonight in the hall of Her Imperial Majesty-”

Matthias
“Who we don’t have time to read the titles of, else we’d be here for an hour.”

More laughter from the less Vistarophile-leaning majority of the crowd

Stijn
“Yes well um, quite. I’m Stijn Albers, representitive of the Province of Nieuwhaven.”

Alban
“I’m Alban Namshir, representitive of Grenstad, also here to note we’ll be here for an hour if Matthias keeps interrupting.”

Another outburst of laughter from the crowd, Matthias giving a smile

Matthias
“And of course, I’m Matthias Ulbrech, representing the lovely Province of Autern we find ourselves in tonight. Now, with no opposition from my fellow representitives, I am free to announce our results our jury voted for-!”

Alban gives a sharp nudge to Matthias to cut that out before they start a diplomatic incident

Stijn
"Clears throat, Without further ado, the points awarded by the United Free Provinces of Western Suvania, starting with our first point, if you will Alban!’

Alban
“Neg (1) Tseg to Meagharia!”

Matthias
“Two points going across Yasteria to Pereginia-!”

Stijn
“Drei (3) voor Blueacia-”

Alban
“Dorov (4) for New Leganés.”

Matthias
“And, as we approach top five, we give five points to Iphelklori!”

A mix of applause and booing from the crowd, with a heckler shouting “Dood aan het fascisme, vrijheid voor het volk!” being audible in the background as Stijn cleared his throat to continue, cameras remained towards the stage rather than the disruption

Stijn
“In fifth place, I am happy to award six points to Tawuse!”

Matthias
“And in fourth, the song that won the most votes in the City we are standing in tonight, give it up for Tivot, who we award7 points!”

Alban
“Winning the hearts of my home of Grenstad, as well as a top three position, we give eight points to Great Morstaybishlia!”

Matthias
“In second place, winning the Province of Autern and despite how uncomfortable someone with my accent rating them may sound historically, we award ten points to Durdanini!”

Mix of cheers and laughter as the lights dim, placing a spotlight on Stijn.

Stijn
"And now, to keep the world and those who came here tonight waiting no longer, the country whose song won the hearts and mind of Nieuwhaven and the first place position according to the Jury of Her Majesty’s Western Provinces…

DVALHEIM!"

Loud cheering and applause from the audience

Matthias
“This has been the Imperial Concert Hall, representing the Western Provinces. Thank you Urthvision and goodnight!”

From New Leganés to Urth
Cukish points on Urthvision XV
Brought to you by… Pétra Méde and Póra Zhenéva

¡Ryés nátu vedérek, nafióner Urçále!
¡Buenas noches, naciones de la Urtia!
Good evening, nations of Urth!

"It’s me, Pétra, striking back on Urthvision!!! Hold on, I believe I’ve forgot something… Ah! It’s just my shoes. No worries, my long dress covers my ugly and stinky feet. Always fashion, never unfashion, or face the consequences. Alright, back to the topic…

Hello Kyrloth!!! How’re you all lovely people doing tonight?"

A loud cheer could be heard from the audience in the Táleu Arts Centre. The Urthvision XIV presenter was well remembered in Kyrloth.

“Oh my goodness!! You’re definitely doing great. I’m sure everyone at home is doing as well. I indeed am, and I also am at a place everyone in Kyrloth will have good memories about the place I’m next to right now…”

Porósin, the previous Urthvision’s venue, could be seen in the background. Once again, the audience cheered.

“Wow. This is truly a warm welcome. I have another person who I must greet. Hello Tesara, thank you for your words before!! Máne has surely received them with gratitude as well. We’ve switched positions in this edition… now I’m the vote giver, and you’re the presenter. Who could’ve guessed? Your country’s curse is over!!”

“Ah, thank you Pétra!” Tesara answered. “It feels like just yesterday that we were in Porósin, enjoying and celebrating good music from all around Urth! And yes - we’re on different ends of the phone line now! So now may we hear your points?”

“Absolutely, Tesara. Before doing so, I’d like to thank the Urthvision organization and the URC for bringing, once again, another wonderful edition full of talent. However, as it has been the tradition, I won’t be the one announcing the Cukish votes. That will be our beautiful Póra Zhenéva, the previous Cukish entry, right next to me!!”

"Good evening Urth!! I hope you’re giving the amazing Louise your higher points, we can’t wait to see Urthvision back again in New Leganés!! I feel blessed right now, because I’m now proceeding, after my performance was done half a year ago, to announce the Cukish votes, the last stage in my participation on this contest, and probably the most relevant. What has the Cukish audience voted? Let’s reveal it…

Let’s start from the beginning" “Well, where would we start from instead?” Pétra interrupted with a sarcastic smile.

“Uh… Yeah. Well, actually, the beginning is the lowest ranked of the countries receiving points, so we’re starting from the end” Póra answered.

“For Tunsé’s sake, girl. Eh, let’s simply continue, we’re in the middle, so no beginnings and no ends” Pétra responded.

“So yeah!! The first Cukish point is awarded to… the Western Provinces!!” (Western Provinces: 1 point)

Strong booing by the audience could be heard

"Now into the second, which goes to a debuting country… Dvalheim!! (Dvalheim: 2 points)

And what about our three points? Well, they’re getting to Aurora. The awarded country is… Blueacia!! (Blueacia: 3 points)

Let’s move some kilometres to the west. Our cuatro puntos have as destination… South Peragen!! (South Peragen: 4 points)

Time to move back to Aurora! The Cukish five points are awarded to… Great Morstaybishlia!!" (Great Morstaybishlia: 5 points)

The audience showed their displeasure again by the points awarded to MBE

"Let’s continue then!! As we approach the high positions, New Leganés gives six points to… Fortuna!! (Fortuna: 6 points)

And now we move to Concord, to another country that gets Cukish points for the first time. That is… Kaldrbuth!! (Kaldrbuth: 7 points)

Time for the top 3!! I hope everyone’s ready…

The third most voted entry by the Cukish audience is… Tivot, with eight points!!! (Tivot: 8 points)

We’ll see now who gets ten points. Once again getting a huge amount of Cukish votes, the second most voted country is… Vivancantadia!!! (Vivancantadia: 10 points)

Who will be the most voted performer by the Cukish viewers? Let’s discover it…

The Cukish twelve points, the most voted country by the audience, is…

Axdel!!! (Axdel: 12 points)

Congratulations to Bemuse and the Axdel entry, that has been a spectacular performance that the Cukish fans won’t forget. And congratulations to the rest of entries, whether you’ve got points from us or not. You all are great and deserve the best!!"

“That is all, Urthvision fans!!” Pétra started to conclude. "It’s great to see such a magnificent show, audience, performers and presenters!!! Tesara, remind me to invite you to a hobsti when you visit the islands…

Good evening, good luck, and see you in Urthvision XVI!!!"

A picture of all black screen.
Pengu Jr
“Happy Urthvision everyone, we’re in in Newport’s cultural district. I’m Pengu Jr on Pengu T.V. News and… Lenny the cap.”
The sound of a plastic lid hitting the ground and the image becomes one of a early 50’s news caster room with a Zrei Elf wearing a ursine shoulder pads in their suit.
Jeremy 
“Sorry boss.”
Pengu Jr. Looking clearly stressed, shuffles his papers in order.
“The votes are in from all over the country!
1 point to the fine land of Meagharia
2 points to Alksearia, somehow.
3 points to Petra Cauda, keep swing Lugi!
4 points to Iphelklori, keep at the science lads and lasses.
5 points to Durdanini and let this be a remember for all of you to visit your local church. Your priest hates drinking alone!
6 points to South Peragen, dancing away in the rain takes me back to my childhood doesn’t it for you Jeremy . Jeremy grunts
7 points to Tivot, we do love our love songs.
8 points to Tawuse, such raw emotion!
10 points to Sokala, we’re all suckers for the twin duo in Nystatiszna.
and for the 12 point prize, Lenny give me a drum roll please!”
Sounds of Jeremy stomping causing the ground to shake and the greenscreen behind Pengu Jr falls revealing a window of a crowd in the streets behind them holding up protest signs. Pengu Jr. looked behind him then back at the Camera. Then quicklys say
“12 points going to Cascadii, good night everybody!”
