OG Kalavision (No longer taking place)

[jyxz]

Please do so I can see if it's the same Faroese wailing I was going to submit in the next Song for Moopy.

Ok. So.

Originally it was either going to be Eivør or Laila Av Reyni. And then out of nowhere came a shot of genius....

Oh OK. I was going to submit Eivør but then it got bumped down to number 7 on my country list.

• VERY SHORT bio of less than 50 words

Oh shit, I thought it said at least 50 words, I had 3 pages already

 

[jyxz]

May reveal tomorrow when I have gathered my drunken thoughts.

Eivør will NEVER be bumped to number 7!

 

[jyxz]

Maybe they can be the interval act?

I’m looking forward to the thread in which furious loungers unveil the songs they couldn’t send because some other slag had already got their chosen country, or indeed weren’t ALLOWED to send

*stirs pot*

Key word: BITTER

 

[dmlaw]

HOW did the UK nations get separate entries, but the Faroe Islands didn't?

There do seem to be two things which AREN'T COUNTRIES in the final list.

 

[D5K]

Did we ever hear that banned Anna Book song from Melodifestivalen a few years ago?

 

[Zu]

Obviously I’m going to immediately scurry into the thread to investigate, but WHICH ONES?

 

[Kate]

Well England, Scotland, Wales and Norn Iron spring to mind But I think that's fair since most of us are UK-based.

 

[jyxz]

Keep praying Faroe Islands

 

[Zu]

And obviously a WHIFF of the SOUK etc.

If the Turkish entry doesn’t have an ALL-CONSUMING DELICIOUSLY ROOM-FILLING STANK of the souk, I’m going to unleash a dirty protest all over the lounge walls IN TURKISH!

 

[Kala]

I never allowed Faroe Islands because they are PART of Denmark who are also competing. Scotland, England, Wales are all separate parts of the UK. the UK are NOT competing. Anyway, my game, my rules...

 

[Generic Account]

Thank god I didn't go for Greenland in the end.

 

[Kala]

Well you've JIZZED your chance at changing my mind now anyway by BLABBING all over Moopy about it.

 

[Kala]

ALSO, a few countries have come in already. The whole 'heritage' thing is really being played here. But it's within the rules, so...

I suppose - AND I'M JUST SUPPOSING - that rather than thinking of it as Denmark as a kingdom in its entirety, you could say that Denmark and Faroe Islands are countries within the Kingdom of Denmark competing separately, much like England, Scotland and Wales are countries within the UK.

Just supposin'.

 

[Kate]

Hoping the Lebanese entry is "The Lebanon" by the Human League

 

[Zu]

I’m hoping for BRYN TERFEL for Wales. Preferably nude

 

[Zu]

Hoping the Lebanese entry is "The Lebanon" by the Human League

I’m hoping the French entry is ‘Lost In France’ by Bonnie Tyler

I lived in Aarhus for six months so I like to think of myself as an authorité on the Denmark problem, just to be clear.

Tak.

Technically that would work for The Kingdom of The Netherlands, where The Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten are all equal parts of the Kingdom, but I don't think Denmark is quite the same.

ANYWAY, it's DONE now.

 

[Zu]

OMG I hope it’s KERRY KATONA FOR ICELAND!

 

[jyxz]

Well if there was a chance of you changing your mind about the rules (again...?), surely you would have been more clear earlier on. Apart from the fact in one of your earlier posts you clearly mentioned that FAROE ISLANDS would be a perfectly legitimate entry.

 

[Alla]

I don't even understand the controversy, but glad Kalavision doesn't stop giving

 

[Kate]

OMG I hope it’s KERRY KATONA FOR ICELAND!

"The Ballad of the Prawn Ring" FTW!

 

[Kala]

ADDITION: Can you please advise why the artist is eligible to represent the country, as for some it isn't exactly OBVIOUS.

KOD I think consists Denmark proper and two autonomous territories (Greenland and the Faroes).

But oh well. I'm excited to see what appears instead.

I assumed that was what the bio was for!

OMG the country rule really has to be that it's a song about a geographic location.

*Gets annoyed when Xanadu is disqualified*

 

[Zu]

"The Ballad of the Prawn Ring" FTW!

Rumours have it that it’s going to be very closely AND FRANKLY DERIVATIVELY based on this classic melody



For God’s sake someone, call the PLAGIARISM POLICE!

I guess we can all add 'strength of link to the country' to our voting criteria.

Already had.

 

[Generic Account]

What kind of average are you guys thinking of for your criteria? Median?

 

[Alla]

I love that rules are constantly changing or adding new ones, this is Kalavision

 

[Kate]

I think we should also #bekind and bear in mind that people may have had one or more of their preferred countries stolen from them

 

[Indie]

England, Wales and Scotland are countries. They're just not sovereign nations.

Faroe Islands is neither.

Definitely. And maybe it's even more exciting to dig into the heritage of a singer and how they convey that through song.
