Re: LONDON | WV26 ?? feat. ?? ?? - ?? | SF2 #19

After a great time in Murcia, London will participate in WV26 in France This time I've chosen a song I adore. I changed my plans and went my gut, I just hope you'll like it! It's different from all my previous entries and not a genre that usually catches my eye but damn
If I fail and one of my fellow Brit jurors chooses that song/artist I had first planned I can always jump off a window, right?

Re: LONDON | WV26 Rudimental feat. Becky Hill - Powerless | SF2 #18

WV 26 | Rudimental feat. Becky Hill - Powerless

Bury my ghost
Start my glory days
Infiltrate my heart
And take the pain away
Took me time
To see through your eyes
Oh I’m not scared
My words are no lies

Powerless for your love, your love
Powerless for your love, your love

I need to be strong
But you have made me weak
I won’t do you wrong
‘Cause these feelings run deep
Where do we belong?
I know we’d search to find
‘Cause I’m powerless for your love
I think I’m losing my mind

And after it all
Would you still stand up and fight?
When you're hidden in darkness
Would you run towards the light?
Even though I’m alone
I can feel you here with me
I try to block you out
But you’re all I see

Powerless for your love, your love
Powerless for your love, your love

I need to be strong
But you have made me weak
I won’t do you wrong
‘Cause these feelings run deep
Where do we belong?
I know we’d search to find
‘Cause I’m powerless for your love
I think I’m losing my mind

Powerless, powerless
I think I’m losing my mind
Powerless, powerless

Tell me this time
You won’t let me go
With you my by side
I don’t feel alone
I've let go of my pride
Now I can call you my own

I need to be strong
But you have made me weak
I won’t do you wrong
‘Cause these feelings run deep
Where do we belong?
I know we’d search to find
I’m powerless for your love
I think I’m losing my mind
​

Re: LONDON | WV26 Rudimental feat. Becky Hill - Powerless | SF2 #18

Rudimental are an English electronic music quartet who produce mainly drum and bass. The quartet consists of songwriters and producers Piers Agget, Kesi Dryden, Amir Amor (Amir Izadkhah) and DJ Locksmith (Leon Rolle). The group rose to prominence in 2012 when their single "Feel the Love", featuring singer John Newman, topped the UK Singles Chart. The group have released further singles since, including "Not Giving In" (featuring Newman and Alex Clare) and 2013 single "Waiting All Night" (featuring Ella Eyre) which also topped the chart in the UK.

Vocals in this track are provided by Becky Hill. She's a young singer currently making her way into the British music scene. She's one of the touring and recording vocalists for Rudimental and has also featured in Wilkinson's hit Afterglow.

They are nominated as Breakthrough Act at the Brits 2014 if I'm not mistaken! Hope you like it

Re: LONDON | WV26 Rudimental feat. Becky Hill - Powerless | SF2 #18

Well, that was a really bad result when one loves a song so much it's hard to understand why others don't 1
But we'll come back strong our next entry is ready!

Old message, but I just wanted to say I know your feelings. The Spanish thread is damn boring with that much hate :?

So a song has been submitted for WV27! This time it'll be a lad whose first album is gorgeous Hope you'll like it

Re: LONDON | WV27 Tom Odell - I Know | SF2 #16

::na WV 27 | Tom Odell - I Know

Cold house, white light
Yellow lamps on blackened skies
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
I sing you a song that I think you'll like

And we'll walk to places we always go
A million faces I don't know
I say the words you'd always hope
Set our hearts on racing even though...

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you

On the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
The little lines write your face
So do winter nights you'd come and stay

Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way i yearn, the way i cry
The way i love rose with the tides
But we know we'll make up every time

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run (yeah)
I keep on falling on you

Oh you bring me all the things I need
I follow the rain to the rolling sea
I love you baby all the things I lay

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling

And I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run, yeah
I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
And I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run, yeah
I keep on falling on you

Re: LONDON | WV27 Tom Odell - I Know | SF2 #16

Thank you guys for voting Tom into the final and awarding him a 16th place! as a I said, a perfect ending for me and this gorgeous region I've got to send songs I truly love, to be co-juror with DanielLuis and of course our victory with the one and only Amy Winehouse it's been a great time and it's a bit sad to say goodbye to a region I "created" myself

Now it's Staewi's turn to take care of London See you in England!

 

[Staewi]

Re: LONDON

My reaction to London being free. And a kinda obvious hint? No, of course not.
Well, that are big footsteps to walk in, I guess. I'll try to fulfill them, probably not with points but with the love I feel for the songs.

 

[Staewi]

Re: LONDON

And the first try to get in the final didn't work, with gorgeous Sabrina Washington failing with her OMG (Oh My Gosh).

For WV29, London will be represented by a big ballad. After the live listening, the artist + song will finally be announced.

 

[Staewi]

Re: London - Little Mix - "Little Me"

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be, little me

WV 29
Little Mix - Little Me

Re: London | WV 30 - Sugababes

Today, London announced its entrant for Worldvision 30!​

Girl-group Sugababes will represent the city in Athens.

 

[JamieBrown]

Re: London | WV 30 - Sugababes

If really those 3 girls are presenting the Sugababes, then the inconceivable could happen

 

[Staewi]

Re: London | WV 30 - Sugababes

If really those 3 girls are presenting the Sugababes, then the inconceivable could happen

Then I'm hoping for the best, since the entry will indeed be sung by the ones in the picture.

 

[Amir]

Re: London | WV 30 - Sugababes

now it is my turn to cry in your thread. I thought London would easily be Top 10 1
It is now the most-played song of this edition in my ITunes...

Oh, didn't read this before. Thank you so much Although personally I didn't have so high hopes.. just discovered the song shortly before last edition and loved the melancholy in it.

After two ballads London will go more up-tempo again next edition. Diana Vickers will represent us, with one of these two songs (a friend of mine chose the winning one):

 

[Alex1211ander]

Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

Sounds like a Monrose or Mandy Capristo song
