[Wayne]

:o I actually LIVE there, no joke lol

Well you most certainly don't live on my Queensland!

[Leaf]

I'm not a big fan of IWGC, but I can see it doing well in the contest!

[Wayne]

Well you should be a big fan! Its a great song. I personally don't think it'd do well; it competitions like this, the obscurer the song, the better!:P

[Leaf]

[Jerick]

QUEENSLAND NEWS

- Amongst the recent governmental turmoil, Queen Ivana Sukyakokoff of Queensland has managed to submit her country's song for the VESC #4. They decided on a rare gem by Juliette Lewis:

The 55m+ citizens of Queensland will all be aware of the recent happenings, but most international countries won't - Queen Ivana recently overthrew the government, with the support of the people, and Queensland is now back to being a supreme Monarchy, with no governmental input. Riots are calming, and former President Wayne Dooley has gone fled the country for the sake of his own life. Stay tuned for more news...

Oh and by the way, Queen Ivana has released an official statement regarding the results of VESC 4:

"We the Queensland nation are very proud about our top 3 position, and would like to send great thanks to the many countries that voted for us - in particular to the two nations that awarded us with 12 points, Timbuktoo & Estria! To those that awarded us with less than 5 points, we are sending our Drag Queen army to come invade!

Queen Ivana

[Mattias]

Hehe, you're totally welcome, Your Majesty! I like your song.

[PhoenixBloom]

:yesnod: Loving your entries, gets people hearing some great singers and tunes! Loving Joan! :biggrinlove: and congrats on top 3!! x

[Wayne]

Queen Ivana has been approached by one of Queensland's natives to send this very disturbing song:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geV8SmVhs0U

Safe to say, the person in question who sent this request has been executed and we're considering other songs!!

[Wayne]

Queensland are going back to the drawing board, so to speak, as their performances recently in these contests have been lacklustre

[Wayne]

Queensland have high hopes for their upcoming performance results!

We are considering sending the following song to the next song contest (the Stereophonics agreed to represent us again, for an undisclosed sum):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN613siBzVk

However, this is subject to how the band perform in the upcoming results! Failure is not good enough. Should they fail, another song we're considering is this splendid song:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePyAQz5LA5M

[Mattias]

I'm not sure if you can send Stereophonics again, in the contest I used to be in, you can't enter the same artist twice in a row. I'd say it's the same here.

[Esspiti]

§2 Artists & Songs:§2.2 Artists used in the prior contest may not be used for the following contest. This only applies to your entry - the artist may be used in the following contest if they were used by another country in the prior contest.

Hm, looks like you can't use Stereophonics again yourself. And nobody can if they come Top 3 apparently

[Wayne]

AWWW GAHHH!

*back to the drawing board*

[Wayne]

Queensland have decided to send this euphoric, and very dancey version of a classic song by John Miles!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5YXzFD2E8

We're quite nervous about how this will perform, but we love it nonetheless!

[Wayne]

Queensland have decided to go back and send this song, a song they were originally going to send:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN613siBzVk&feature=player_embedded

[Wayne]

Queensland have decided to enter a stunning track by Alexis Jordan, called Happiness remixed by Deadmau5!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuNPOWLUQZI

Hope you all like it!

[Wayne]

Queensland have decided to send a forgotten classic to VESC 19 - Ms Peggy Lee with Fever!

[Wayne]

Queensland have decided on their VESC #21 entry; we are now considering our entry for VESC #22, and think we've found what we're sending! For VESC #21, we're sending something by Aussie diva Cassie Davis!

[Wayne]

Queensland's monarch Ivana Sukyakokoff has been reminiscing over previous contests, and here is the nation's historical trajectory:

5-11-3-3-3-10-7-10-11-11-5-4-15-1-5-9-6-9-15-14-9

Queensland won the 14th edition of the VESC, and they have sent their votes to each hosting nation in 20/21 contests (they forgot to submit their votes in contest 7)

In light of this, here is VESC's 22nd entry:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVfRgqkrOJY&feature=related

LOVE INC - DO YA FEEL THE LOVE

[Wayne]

QUEENSLAND HAVE DECIDED NOT TO SEND THE ABOVE "LOVE INC" SONG, AS WE DON'T FEEL IT WOULD DO VERY WELL. INSTEAD WE'VE DECIDED TO SEND A GORGEOUS, ATMOSPHERIC TRACK FROM MYLENE FARMER & SEAL:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmXh1_PfaKI

[Wayne]

For VESC #25, Queensland will be sending this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_6IxmFCNY8

LENKA has agreed to represent us. For which she'll receive $250,000.

VESC #26!

[Wayne]

Queensland are sending to contest #27 the legendary Kate Bush!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGsLDIhOSc
COUNTRY: Queensland
ARTIST: Kate Busy
SONG: A Coral Room
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGsLDIhOSc


Its an incredibly sad song; for those that wonder what its about, it deals with the loss of Kate's mother and the passing of time. Its really beautiful!

[PhoenixBloom]

^ Wow, you've earned my top points already!!! =) I've noticed you had Lenka before too, really like that track!! :)

[Wayne]

^ Thanks! :)

Depending on how this slow Kate Bush song does, I'm going to send a mid tempo ballad next round by a hugely talented act!

[Wayne]

In the 90's, Sandy B released a little known dance track called Make The World Go Round; Deep Dish remixed it and released it and it has gone on to become one of the most enduring and widely used dance tracks of all-time. Proper 1990's music!! Queensland are sending this as their entry for VESC #28


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UndMbTc-RJw

Let us know what you think!

[Wayne]

Queensland are sending Lorca - Serpiente Con Tacon - a big risk for us!
