Re: ☙ Western USA | WV78 | Latest updates! ❧
NBC Western USA said:Western USA is back for WV79 and with a hot new co-juror for this edition! We'd like to welcome Hele. to our team and we have to say have we got a real treat lined up for you all for this edition. We are keeping it all quiet for now, but what we will say is that we will be going with a pure classic, something that is definitely a step out of the norm for us as jurors. Some of you maybe be shocked by the choice, others of you will not. We are all super excited for you to see what we have planned! Make sure you stay grounded on Earth with your Scrunchies, Shoulder pads and Spandex - you're going to need them.

Hmm... Western USA, a returning artist, something unexpected, and perhaps you've gone with an artist that has ties to Hawaii too?

Re: ☙ Western USA | WV81 | Josh Groban - February Song ❧
LYRICS
Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song?
Tell him it won't be long
Till he opens his eyes, opens his eyes
Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades?
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life?
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day
Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
'Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day
Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song?
Tell him it won't be long
Till he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

Re: ☙ Western USA | WV81 | Josh Groban - February Song ❧
Thank you so much for 4th place!
Special dedication to [MENTION=12078]AshleyWright[/MENTION] who pointed out my attention to this song as I wanted to send Josh but with another song! 
But just listened this song more carefully and understood it is complete my emotion and its meaning and it is so special for me!

Re: ☙ Western USA | WV82 | Cher - Believe ❧
LYRICS
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Re: ☙ Western USA | WV83 | Announcement ❧
NBC Western USA said:As it is known, fabulous managing winning duo (Ash & Hele) of Western USA shortly split after reaching its goals: winning (with amazing Belinda Crisalide) and hosting WV (spectacular edition in Honolulu). What followed is only Hele's managing of region's entries on biggest worldwide song competition, known as WorldVision, in further 3 editions. But, as we heard behind the scenes, exclusive contract (in which Ash decided to leave its baby on Hele's mercy) ends after WV83 and main HoD of Western USA's broadcaster, WV superstar Ash will return on its position while Hele, queen of Balkans, also will return to its region before Western USA's expedition - to Bosnia & Herzegovina.
In WV circles we also found that broadcaster chiefs are very happy with Hele's management and two top 5 results: Josh Groban's 4th place with February song (WV81) and diva Cher's 5th place with Believe (WV82). However, its not everything perfect: chiefs also consider there were some mistakes as they mainly think Western USA would have more chances of winning if Josh preformed his song in February and not July-August and furthermore, that Cher could win if she had more believe in herself. But, as big reputation of Western USA is approved, Hele will not be exposed to sanctions (unless decided to select entry to embarrass region in Stockholm).
On positive note, chiefs are satisfied with "smart" artists selection: big stars and approved artists which have never before been in WV.
So, for farewell jurying in Western USA this year, Hele decided to use same formula for WV83: famous and established artists that will debut in WorldVision.
We couldn't find more details but what we found out is that song will be distanced from previous two entries: power pop ballad and hot dance hit. We tried to reach current HoD and even managed to get short statement:
"Yes, it is true, Western USA again will send artist that hasn't been in WV so far and yes, song type will be different in comparation to previous two under my solo managing. Mainly, it is pop song but with strong rock influences. That's all I can tell you for now because you know, we do not want to risk disqualification of course and you will find out everything on LL anyway. A lot of love, kisses! " - Hele shortly said.
Whats going to be region's next entry we will find out soon! In the end, we use this chance to accept Hele's acknowledgment for chance we gave to her on Ash's suggestion and decision. Also, we thank Hele for wonderful time in Western USA! But, we are dying for Ash to comeback for his baby! Get prepared everyone....

I am crossing the Pacific as we speak.
I love these promos some people are starting to do in places. Slovaks across the country have been reading the headlines of what goes on in Western USA and there's a mix of happiness, sadness & excitement, Sad in the fact they will be withdrawing from WV with the loss of their HoD but also happiness in that the Queen of the Balkans returns to her home to represent the region, and finally excitement in the fact that they all wait in anticipation at what hit you've sent.
Good luck this edition, Hele. You've done stunningly well on Western USA. It was so much fun working with you and watching your success as a solo juror there. Not to mention getting to host with you. .

Hey, slow it down
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, I'm afraid
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So what do you want from me

It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, it's plain to see

And there's nothing wrong with you
It's me ' I'm a freak
but thanks for lovin' me
'Cause you're doing it perfectly
There might have been a time
When I would let you step away
I wouldn't even try but I think
you could save my life
Just don't give up
I'm workin' it out
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe

Re: ☙ Western USA | WV85 | Artist Announced ❧
NBC Western USA said:
We've been hard at work looking for our next entry to represent us in Cardiff. At first we had planned a great dance-pop song, but as that is pretty much all our HOD ever seems to send we decided to not go through with that option, we had also considered another more unknown song from an unknown artist however we wasn't quite feeling the mood for that song and couldn't see it representing us at this time. Western USA has a lot on offer for us to choose from so it will always be a hard choice however, we had come to the decision that Christina Perri will be flying the Phoenix flag in Cardiff and have the honour of representing us. We can't stop listening to the song we selected and hope all of you will enjoy it just as much.
