Terravision Song Contest

[Aquinas]

September 2020


Last year's winner

This year's Terravision Song Contest (OOC: A kind of Eurovision equivalent) is set to be held in Kamalata, the capital of Kalkalistan. Nations are invited to submit their entries.

Kalkalistan's entrant, Magdu, comes from the island of Tua (OOC: A Goa-equivalent, set in the small island off Kalkalistan's eastern coast). Her song, Bebdo ("Drunkard"), tells the story of an unfortunate story of a young woman who marries a man who turns out to be an aggressive alcoholic. Several women's groups have complained that it "normalises" or "legitimises" domestic violence. On the other hand, some men's rights activists are objecting to the song because they feel it promotes false stereotypes lampooning Tuan men as useless drunkards.



OOC: Feel free to post a music video to represent your nation.

Kizenian officials had sent the official music to represent the nation.



The song is by Loredana Groza, called Bună seara, iubito! (Good evening, baby!) and it represents a love song on a background representing the struggle Kizenians had in 90s after the regime felt and people died for liberation of the nation from communist regime. The song had been criticized by some Kizenians as lacking patriotism in it, while others acclaimed is too old. Voices also criticized the political nature of song ,despite the song is not political, the references to political, historical events of Kizenian struggle for abolition of a brutal regime is not proper for a contest like Terravision.

After a vote on Kalopian television the Kalopian Association for Public Arts (KAPA) sends Cassandra Antonopoulou (Artist name "Billie Eilish" in the rest of terra) to the Terravision contest.




The song is called "ilomilo", a refference to a favourite videogame of Cassandra which she played in her early youth. The song is about her wanting to return to her youth.
Her peformance is likely to be dark and simplistic, attempting to strike the audience with her strong voice and dark tone.

The Keymon Bureau of Arts and Multiculturalism has approved a native tribal chief, Maika’ikeakua Kali, to perform a native song at Terravision.



This song is about the native landscape of Keymon, describing the lives of the native peoples in Keymon. The Keymon Bureau of Arts and Multiculturalism requests that Keymon be capable of representing itself as an independent nation and contestant, and requests that it not be considered part of any Luthorian performance or acts. The Keymon Bureau of Arts and Multiculturalism also requests that any rewards that the contestant we have submitted may receive go to either him or to the government of Keymon, not the national Luthorian government.

Uachtarán MacArthur has personally selected Patrick Kearney and his band to play Amhrán na bhFiann



This song was originally written in 1908 during the Beluzian Independence War by a Kilani Republican Army volunteer named Connor McDermot. It's dedicated to the Kilani men and women who gave their lives to free their land from Luthorian oppression.

Trigunian submission: "Leonid is so young" also known as "And the battle is going on again"

The song references famous Trigunian communist revolutionary, author and visionary, Vladimir Leonid, and is a remastered version of the song, which was written in the late 20th century. The song sings about the importance of "the first step", a reference to socialist revolution, and the "sacrificing your life for truth". The song is optimistic about the socialist future.

The band "Radio Kommuna" and the People's All-Trigunian Childrens' Choir will perform this.
