There's a rumour going around town that Calvin is a massive fan of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana".

Ahoy hoy everyone. I come bearing news. The winner of this national final will be representing us in WV 66 rather than WV 65. This is because I feel emboldened in this very moment more than ever before to send my favorite artist of all time. I would kick myself forever if I didn't use this moment where I feel brave to send them. Thank you all for your patience. Gaelynn, Bright Eyes, The Supremes, or Judy and I will see you in WV 66.

OK, I'm your boyfriend and even I'm struggling to put a finger on exactly who your favourite artist of all time is! Whoever turns up should be pretty darned exciting I'm sure! Best of luck dearest

Annnnnnnnnnd entry sent! After flirting with something a little more atypical, I've gone with a song that's textbook for the artist in question: massive horn lines, a dramatic opening that somehow builds to an even bigger finish, tight harmonies, light African folk influences, and a healthy heaping of head voice from the lead vocalist!

Honey, you're only allowed to send one song, not three...

WV 65: Earth, Wind, and Fire - "Fantasy"

Lyrics

Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review

And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review

Earth, Wind, & Fire is my favorite band and has been for over a decade. I feel spiritually connected to their music, and it brings me such joy. Every single song of theirs feels so sincere and full of heart, occasionally delving into the painful. Not this one, though; this is just my nod-my-head-in-the-car-and-sing-along-to-the-falsetto-section hit. This particular number is their WV entry because it showcases everything that makes them such talented artists and in the purest form possible; I couldn't be happier finally to share them. Hope you all enjoy!

Oh! And here's one of ye olde WV artists, Martha Wash from 54, covering the song:

Re: Midwest USA dontcha know that - WV 65 - Earth, Wind, & Fire - Fantasy

Ahoy hoy everyone! Just a heads-up that I'm taking a break next edition. I'm working at my old debate camp, and my first priority needs to be the students, which will force me to put WorldVision, love it as I do, on the back burner. In other words:

Re: Midwest USA dontcha know that - WV 65 - Earth, Wind, & Fire - Fantasy

Thank god I will send a metal band next edition

Aw there's some American metal I enjoy! Metallica, Iced Earth and this is how far along I got in this before I remembered you were going to switch. Have fun nonetheless and good luck

100.​

Wow. Thank you for 100 points. I honestly can't believe that I came this close - this edition felt like something where sending it was the victory. I'm so happy and thank you all; it almost makes me wistful that I'm going to have to take a break from this supportive and wonderful community for an edition. Thank you to:

Re: Midwest USA dontcha know that - On break tending to the childs for 66 - See you in 67!

So you're in after all! Will you be sending the winner of the NF from last time around, or is that going to be delayed again? I'd love to see you sending my favourite from the NF and slaying~
