The BloggCast [Discussing Edition 20]

Hello Fantasia, and Hello Haveners, Sonny Jay, Vick Hope and Roman Kemp are all here for this episode of Discussing Fantasia #20.

R: Hey Fantasia, what an episode we have for you, 10 countries will be discussed and added to our leaderboard. This is my first episode so I hope to do well, any tips guys on what I should say or do. 

S: Nah mate, we are hear to say it as it is. Speak out about the song that do and don't do it for you. 

V: You are stressing too much already, just listen to the song and speak out. We are the podcast for the The White Havens so we need to speak out for our nation. I will jsut mention that since we have startded the blogg cast, It has been announced that Niolskiaj have removed Susie Save your Love out of the contest citing health and travel as the reason they have chosen a new representative instead. Because of this the original score has been removed and will be replaced with the new entry. So we will be doing 11 songs but 10 new countries.

R: SO the first country we will looking into is Sirenforest, competed many times in the contest with Enemy Inside and Phoenix. I am going to kick it off and say that this is my genre of music. Female rock metal band are ace, you have Nightwish, Within Temptation, Sirenia. Something about rock and lead female singers just get good scores from me. 

V: Female representation I love it but I would say that. Phoenix is such a good song for them and they have stepped up their game this edition. The staging will be ace and will look so good. Now the white havens tends not to rank Sirenforest highly but they have given a score of 83/100 thats huge.!! We want some rising phoenixes up here Sirenforest.

S: Next is Coy from Onduria and they are going retro with Promises. Well all i can say is that fish mask better reach the stage HA!!

R: Mate, that mask is going to sell and be all over that arena when they perform. A really good song its a nice modern take on a 80s style song. I enjoy the pop this brings and will be alot of fun to watch. A Haven score of 74/100, they are feeling some promises, you better promise to not let us down. 

V: now the next entry wasn't revealed until a few days after Onduria so a drought of music guys lets get these entries in. We are flying to Ninelie with their song The In-Between by In This Moment. I am going to start by saying that this is not my type of music and I do not see the engaging factor in this. 

S: Nah, see I can see they are pushing the boat our and trying something different that will reach a different set of viewers and voters. They are unique and they are ticking different kind of boxes.

V: they are screaming down the microphone.... This jsut isnt my thing to grab my attention. The poll score reveal the song at 48/100. I am surprised as thought this would be alot lower. 

S: Peace Vick, difference can do well look at Ciara we got 5th by sending something different so maybe we will see what the have SO from Ninelie we go to Sincuerello singing in a native language with Jaloo and the song is called Doi d. Very 21st century. 

R: Very Modern Fantasia this is the leading style that is gettign the votes and why not? It is a great song and Jaloo can sing and he does this song so well. Very mellow and it will do well. 68 from the poll votes. I think we all agree this is grow. 

S: Demacia is next with their song Teenage headache dreams. What a song. the intro so so good really captivating. Demacia really know how to get the viewers in.

V: So good, why they aren't threat in the contest I am unsure but they know how to piece a song together. I hope the tour goes well before the contest and I hope that generates the popularity to do well. Come to The White Havens if not Demacia !! 80/100 what a score. 80+ and you are winning the haven hearts.

R: Rita Dakota is next performing for Wedse singing Mantra in their native language also. So, urm, thoughts?

V: Speechless Roman, normally you got something to say? I think Ritahas a great voice. The choirs really bringing the song alive and will look amazing on the stage with the lights and effects. For me it'll be the lyrics, they can be lost with the wailing and sounds but hopefully the message comes through.

R: I am jsut not sure where I put this song. I want to dislike it but something about it is so engaging and the native feel of Wedse really comes through that we don't normally get the see. a 64/100 is a good solid score.

S: From Wedse to Achroa, the band named I break Horses and Death Engine. I am put off straight away by the band name and the song title this is not something I would vote for myself personally. The song starts and the lyrics I respect the story but Its not for me. 

R: It is so difficult as this song is going to do well with the younger vote easily. It is relate able and the style fits a modern issue that is happening right now but as you say, this isn't something you would see from the White Haven music industry but who know maybe it will score points with the juries. 22/100. 

V: Right, I am doing the next one as I know and love this girl. It is Jessie Ware for Ka'a and Kehbe. She is so good on stage, yeah we've met before haha. Such a good singer and this song is such a jazzy song that works. I live for this.  55/100 crossing that half way point which i like to see. Get those votes!!

S: Back to me and it is Niolskiaj with they new song All In Your Head by Clipping. Well, I preferred Susia Save Your Love. This is out there for me and I am not sure how people will react.

R: Ohh people will love this, this kind of music isn't really something that we would get in our region of the world but this is going to ignite some love with a few countries out there. A score of  7/100, they dropped massively but the white havens don't get a vote so maybe the results will be a different story.

S: Next we have Moly - Boronia and Cynthia with her song Stand up. What a song, her power ballard really enpowers me and I can get by this song, Vick, this your choir girl right?

V: I am preaching my love for Cynthia, What a song and girl she can sing. She will make the arena roar with that power and talent. And a 96 from the poll !!! Cynthia, The White Havens are standing up with you !!!! We are by your side. 

R: 96/100 wow that a huge score, they better not let the public down now ha. now Llort sending a song called Beijing Baby by Jaguar Jonze. Firstly, what a beijing baby? is like someone that suave and reserved? 

V: Roman you are not up to date if you not a Beijing Baby. Everyone knows what one is. If you wanna go, go to Llort and find out haha. Her stage name is so good and she is a fierce Jaguar as well. 52 from the public as well. some nice scores in this episode. Well done Moly Boronia and we guess we have to wait until the next episode to see if anything changes. Any Surprises boys?

R: Sirenforest I am so glad the public have shown love for this song real potential to this country. 

S: Same real potential but really happy for them and Moly- Boronia. We love Cynthia. 

V: Well thank you all for listening in this bloggcast.

See you next time folk, stay blogging.
