Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

Sounds like a Monrose or Mandy Capristo song

I take that as a compliment.

 

[JamieBrown]

Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

I'm shocked by your last two entries in a positive way!

I dare to ask if you finally got some music taste?

Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

HAHAHA

3333333333333

Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

Wow, I really did not update this for a long time. Will work on it soon.

Re: London | WV 31: Diana Vickers

The London Thread is back

 

[Staewi]

Re: London

After a long string of internal choices (in fact my last WorldVision NF reaches back to WV23) I decided to put on a national final to find London's entry for WV38. Two fails with male artists have led to the decision to include only female acts in it.

The four songs are:

#1: Girls Aloud - See the Day
DE alternative: https://vimeo.com/24826714

#2: Jem - It's Amazing
DE alternative: https://vimeo.com/13402691

#3: Mutya Keisha Siobhan - Flatline
DE alternative: https://vimeo.com/79605807

#4: Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Catch You

Please vote by


NFs really seem to be unpopular nowadays, but I hope to attract at least some voters.
The deadline occurs with the next song submission deadline, of course.​

 

[Staewi]

Re: London | WV 38: National Final - PLEASE VOTE!

This NF was really pointless, three voters + myself is not really what I imagined (not even the regions in whose NFs I voted, voted back)... Because of that I simply end it now and send the leading song to WV. Thanks to anyway.

 

[Milos-BC]

Re: London | Plans for WV 41 coming soon!

will come back in next edition already!


I will soon post all the plans I have for WV 41.......plus, there will be some "introduction" post as well


This was one of several regions that I wanted to take over at some period, and well, seems like that moment has come now.


I hope that the songs I am planning to send from here will please you in the same way like those from my old regions.......or even more, ofc!

 

[Trece]

Re: London | Plans for WV 41 coming soon!

May be we can finally expect Adele in WV?

Good luck with London, Milos!

 

[Staewi]

Re: London | Plans for WV 41 coming soon!

Good luck with my old region! Maybe you will have some more success than I did.

 

[Milos-BC]

Re: London | Plans for WV 41 coming soon!

Thank you both!

May be we can finally expect Adele in WV?

Good luck with London, Milos!

Yes, there will be Adele........sooner or later


And tonight there will be more words from me on this topic + I will reveal my first entrant in

 

[Milos-BC]

Re: London | Plans for WV 41 coming soon!

So yeah, what to say for this occasion..........


was among the regions I really wished to lead for a long time, and I am glad that the opportunity for that showed up at this point. It is a real honor, pathetics aside. There is no need to waste any words about the quality of the British music scene, because the names, their popularity and the sales records speak for themselves. This is one of those regions that offers the most things and, as such, it is ideal for my own system (that I was implementing in every region that I was leading so far).


Everyone who previously led did such an amazing job and they set up very high standards so it will not be easy to keep up to that, but I will do my best.


And just like it was the case with my previous regions, you can expect all kinds of things here as well. You can expect famous acts and songs, and also alternative and even folkish tunes. I will tend to mix genres just like I was doing before, so that will not change here either. Most of all, I will send songs that I love and not songs that I think may do well, but are not my cup of tea. And of course, I hope I will bring songs that you will enjoy, and that I will bring songs that will go down in WV history in one way or another



Now it is time to reveal our first entrant. I believe that I don't have to represent their music career here as they are known by everyone and they are..........

Coldplay

​

So, it will be Coldplay who will lead the flag in Bucharest! And which song will they perform? You will find out.......when the time comes

just like Imagine Dragons and OneRepublic?


about Coldplay, i didn't hear all songs of them, but from the famous ones I like only the one (which i hope will never be in wv )

Well it depends on the song. And I had other songs for them in mind, when I thought about sending them

 

[ShoeFlo]

Re: London | Coldplay - ??????

There is one Coldplay song which I consider one of the best songs ever

If you send this song to the contest I will ask for permission to give 13 points to you

but Coldplay in general is a fantasic band and I'm looking forward

 

[Milos-BC]

Re: London | Coldplay - ??????

I can't say anything about the song.........because if I say only one word, chances are.........you will guess it
