And we have an entry! I was seriously considering selecting the song internally, actually, and am thrilled to be putting my qualification hopes in this fantastic song. Thank you all for helping me send it. xheart

"Hey LVER, I can't remember whom you're sending to WV 52. Could you please remind me?"

"Ah yes! Thank you!"

I'll do the official post in just a bit, but for now, let me just say that the reaction to "Bel Den" at the LL left me almost in tears of joy. It's moments like the Kaliopiland's LL that keep me coming back: knowing that some music that somebody shares is going to leave someone touched or, at the very least, entertained. Thank you. Now...ajde, Esma. Ajde, Kaliopi. xheart

WV 52: Kaliopi & Esma: "Bel Den"

Бел ден е секој среќен ден
па и да е последен
само среќен нека е.
Бел ден е секој еден ден
што доцни навреме
за да стигне до тебе

Ако си голем, знај, биди и мал
Ако си слаб, биди јак
Ако е невреме, разведри се
растерај облаци, насмеј ми се

Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден ден.
Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден бел ден

Бел ден ќе имаш за себе
штом на друг ти помислиш
и ангел бел му подариш.
Бел ден и не е важно не,
дал' ништо или сѐ,
само бело нека е

Ако е темнина, расветли се
од едно ти направи две
ако си сиромав, не жали не
твојто богáтство во душа ти е

Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден ден.
Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден бел ден

AJDE ESMA. EHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHH WHOA OH OH OH OH OH OHHH.

Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден ден.
Еј, да ми е еднаш да можам
да постелам постела во бел ден
таму срце и душа ќе стоплам
за милион срца во еден бел ден...

Thank you the Macedonia for sharing two legends with us this evening. Kaliopi is my favourite artist discovery since becoming a super fan of Eurovision (yes, even above Valentina). I adore her music and i'm delighted to see her at WorldVision. Best of luck. My fingers are tightly crossed for you Calvinxcrossed

The Macedonia gets my own personal thumbs up!

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - WV 52 - Kaliopi & Esma - "Bel Den"

Long post, so beware.

I've seen a couple people sad about my NQ today, which warms my heart about as much as sadness can, so thank you. But with love and admiration to those folk, being sad about my NQ is a bit of a misconstruction for why I'm in WorldVision. I don't do this for the satisfaction of victory, or I probably would've quit after my first time (or sent "Poželi" to be thoroughly frank). I do this because I'm passionate about y'all, and I'm passionate about music, so the opportunity is irresistible. And to make sure that I touch and/or entertain at least one other person, which I take heart in having done.

I'm reminded of dear, dear Gabe who spent edition after edition sending song after song that was near and dear to his heart while seeing NQ after NQ. And with his home region, no less! But in 48 (and also once before in an edition I can't remember), he had finally found the song that helped him storm the scoreboard into the top 10, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one feeling a bit proud parent-y as a result. Someday, I'll find the song that I love and that will touch and/or entertain everyone else, too, and I know that my loved ones on ESCUnited will feel the same way we all felt when "Rio" got NEEN to the top 10. I had come to terms long before the results with that song not being "Bel Den." Hype it up as I plan to do, it probably also won't be the very special song California has planned for 53. But it'll come sometime. Or it won't, I'll be stuck on the wrong side of the qualification line forever, and that'll be great too because it'll mean that I exchange a ton of wonderful songs that somebody loves.

I'll leave you today with Kaliopi's megaflop from Eurovision 1996, a song that even I have trouble defending (though I know [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] picks up the slack there). Not this piano performance, though. This is beautiful and sends tears to my eyes (admittedly not hard to do). Now. Anon, my beloved Kaliopiland. For now, I'm homeward bound and extremely excited about that. I'll be back, though; I have no idea how to quit you.

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - WV 52 - Kaliopi & Esma - "Bel Den"

Oh dearest one! I think that the above post should be obligatory reading for WV entrants. The essence of the competition captured so well and so succinctly. I am so proud of you darling [MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] and we all cannot wait for the mega hit we know you will produce from your homeland.

I wanted

to qualify this time, really. But I'm glad you have this attitude towards this game, I hope I will react this way after some DNQs. Good luck with

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - WV 52 - Kaliopi & Esma - "Bel Den"

The second I posted what I needed to post, I realized how wrong it felt not coming back. I have unfinished business and simply must bring this wonderful country back to WV.

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - Returning WV 62!

Welcome back xheart

I look forwards to being able to finally vote for all the good entries again!

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - BERNAYS PROPAGANDA FOR WV 62

So for my return entry to Kaliopiland, I thought, "hey. I love the indie bops of WV so much; why don't I finally send one?"

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - NF UP ON PAGE 8!

So I know I promised an internal selection, but I have time on my hands and like NFs

Sorry. Here to host our NF is the dynamic duo of Kaliopi and Reporter of Unknown Name!

We have a question from someone who identifies themselves as "literally everyone!"
"Kaliopi, why aren't you participating in this national final yourself? I know how many people are eagerly awaiting your WorldVision comeback."
Kaliopi will be coming to WorldVision very soon; just be patient.
Onto the songs!
Song 1: Tijana & The Frajle - Zivote Kreni https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHMZZ4Kawqg
Song 2: Maja Odžaklievska - Shila https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H28DBTVw0yg
Song 3: Bernays Propaganda - Laži me, laži me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUF7qHvPtkc
Song 4: Novogradska & Tanja Carovska - Po Drum Odam Majce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uTpKBqLE0I
Voting system: Distribute 15 points between the songs how you so choose (0s and repeats allowed), with the only catch being that you can't give more than 10 points to a song. The deadline is March 31st at 23:59 CET. Happy listening, everyone!

Thank you very much to our first three and Kopachka for your votes. xheat

Let us appreciate this moment in which all four songs have been #1 for someone. I fear a bunch of "WHERE IS _____?" at the LL. Fear not: it's highly likely that the songs that aren't the entry for 62 will be coming to a WorldVision near you!

Re: Kaliopiland, err…Macedonia - NF UP ON PAGE 8!

Good job I love all four of the songs on offer here then! The worlds greatest living unintentional drag queen channeling icon was just too tempting though not to push a little xheat
