[Nelisa]

Congratzz Ari!

 

[ShoeFlo]

Congrats Ari, amazing choice and well-deserved!
I know you've waited so long for this moment so I am pretty happy for you... enjoy your celebrations

 

[Uto]

Well, I had a laugh.

 

[Nelisa]

At least the flop era is over or is it

 

[Arion]

Ari will get brutally shaded when his long awaited first forum game win is in a spin-off in which he's been asked to send a song opposite to his taste. It's destiny. Delicious irony.

I blame you

 

[Gera11]

it's my first win ever AND WITH DOGMEAT'S SONG?!??!?!!?

[Arion]

[Gera11]

Not sure if people thought it was a predictable entry or just average. Anyway, thanks for 9th.

Congrats also to the metal sensation and the idol

An iconic hosting, really loved the banners and the scoreboards which were BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET; you should host again but in main WV next time, @hjarnskakning

 

[Nelisa]

But lets also applaud @hjarnskakning for wooftastic hosting and even better patience

 

[RainyWoods]

Errr.. congratulations Ari on your long awaited FIRST EVER win on our forum I've loved a lot of your entries over the few years you've been with us and so it's tremendous to see your dedication to the contest finally richly rewarded with a delightful medal. An unforgettable moment. Bravo!

 

[Arion]

This is such a joke... I can't... I've been bullied before here.. But not to this extent

I can't stop laughing

 

[RainyWoods]

@hjarnskakning doggie, you did us all proud, and oh my, what fun this was. I loved the show with all the different ladies. They really spoke to my soul. The whole idea of the theme was just a lot of fun. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you as well everyone for the 2nd place. I heard this song years ago. It was during the time when it felt like we had about twenty nine (probably a slight exaggeration) symphonic metal tracks at every edition. This band and song I think from that spam came up recommended to me on Youtube one day.. and I was like "this is enjoyable... secretly". And so I kept a hold of it for a suitable spin-off, and this was a perfect fit. Glad you enjoyed the campy cheese of it.

Congratulations, and @Arion , on your victory!

Wow! I'm surprised that I finished in last place! Do you really think that I would send a hip hop music video in a regular contest? Or, hopefully, you thought that the music video itself was not of the highest quality that you've seen? I'm sure that some of you were asking "Who the hell is Kase.O?" while others were wondering who the woman with the red hair is.

Anyway, it was easy for me to choose a song that is in a genre that I thought you would never expect from me. I found "Moito Love" through the social media of one of the extras in the music video.The message that Vértebras communicate in the song is that we must choose to give love, lots of love. I enjoyed the performance of the hip hop duo and the appearance of the extra.

The extra in question is the woman with the red hair. She is a local artist named Cecilia. Among her talents are fashion designing, jewelry making, poetry, drawing, and painting.

Thanks to the following for your votes.

yeah I can finally stop speaking in font size 22, my throat can rest. was a pleasure to host, gonna chew a solid meaty bone right now as a good doggie should after a day of hard dogging.

thanks so much for being there with me during the show, it really did give me power to keep going. didn't expect to change Ari's life completely by randomly coming up with the idea of new year, new me, but here we are. definitely will host again, hopefully it's gonna be the main show in Istanbul

btw this spinoff was just a big advertisement of my next marmara entry. you will love it. byeee

Hip-hop is probably the single most antithetical genre to what people in WV are actually likely to vote for. You can make it succeed, but it has to be really good or somehow dip into other genres properly (like have a strong pop chorus) to make it work. It also doesn't help that the lyrics tend to be important. I once got Black Vulcanite from Namibia into the final, but that was a great song with a great message about how the powers that be use racism to divide us, a theme obviously very much at the forefront of Namibian culture. It needs that to resonate. My Spanish is horrible and I'm not going to wonder what they are saying. This language problem is something I see Looren struggle with as well. He often likes French songs because of lyrics, but they are just dead to me as I just don't listen to them. It's French, I can understand snippets, but yeah if I have to do work to like your song you're out of luck as I'm not going there.
