Qasentrian Announces Participation 

published on 9th July, 2020 in Marianne, Marianne Province, The Republic of Qasentria.

On the 27th of June, the southern Serican nation of Qasentria confirmed that they will be present in the 22nd edition of the Fantasia song contest, held in tba. At midnight on the 9th of June, a new photo appeared on the QBA's website, at qba.qa/fc. The photo sparked much debate amongst Qasentrians as to the meaning. Three major theories came out of the discussion: 1) This is an advertisement for an upcoming Fantasia Song Contest themed cafe because of the prevalence of themed cafe's within the nation, 2) This is a teaser with hints as to which artist and/or song will represent the nation in the 22nd edition, and 3) Some underpaid interns were upset at the lack of coffee at the headquarters, and this was the response. The heads of the QBA and the Qasentrian delegation, Chante & Kwass, stated that they couldn't confirm nor deny any of the theories just yet and they are enjoying the madness that swirled around this photo. Feel free to take a look at the photo which we have gained access to below.

DECORIA TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE FANTASIA CONTEST

12 July 2020 • Norfort, Decoria

Just some hours before the 21st edition comes to an end, DRT revealed that the country will sadly be taking a break from the competition, at least for one edition. The decision from the broadcaster was backed by financial difficulties of the broadcaster.

Decoria will not compete in the 22nd edition

Despite the successful first edition of the [img src="i.imgur.com/2GT1wIR.png" src="http://i.imgur.com/xmHQSPb.png"] Dýrcorifestivalen that took place last edition, DRT decided that the country will not be present in the upcoming 22nd edition of the Fantasia Contest. The Head of Delegation reportedly said that the reason behind the country's withdrawal was the lack of fundamental financial support for the participation, which has allegedly been an issue for quite a while now. Additionally, the non-qualification of the country after the big Dýrcorifestivalen event that took place was cited as an additional reason for their withdrawal.

Decoria debuted all the way back in the 1st edition of the contest and has competed in every edition since, making the 22nd edition the first edition they will miss out. A return in the 23rd edition was not ruled out, but it seems unlikely at this point.

"It's sad that we have to withdraw from the edition, but it was inevitable at this point. There were talks about a withdrawal for a few editions now but we managed to pull through with funds last minute most of the time. I also think hosting the contest a few editions ago also set us back, and unfortunately this time it was not possible to find the appropriate funds.

It's also sad because just when we managed to host Dýrcorifestivalen with our dear friends in Dýria, we have to withdraw now. We were looking forward to collaborating again, as the Decorian – and the Dýrian public – really enjoyed and embraced the event."

– Decorian Head of Delegation

LYRICS

SPOILER: Click to show

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in Fordia, but I can't place it
Man, I hate this part of Eldance
Close my eyes, fantasize
Three clicks and I'm home
When I get back I'll lay around
Then I'll get up and lay back down
Romanticize a quiet life
There's no place like my room

[Chorus]
But you had to go, I know, I know, I know
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
And you had to go, I know, I know, I know

[Verse 2]
Out in the park, we watch the sunset
Talking on a rusty swing set
After a while you went quiet
And I got mean
I'm always pushing you away from me
But you come back with gravity
And when I call, you come home
A bird in your teeth

[Chorus]
So I gotta go, I know, I know, I know
When the sirens sound, you'll hide under the floor
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
I'm gonna chase it, I know, I know, I know
I gotta go now, I know, I know, I know

[Verse 3]
Driving out into the sun
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
Went looking for a creation myth
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
Windows down, scream along
To some Evergreen First rap country song
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
Slot machines, fear of God
Windows down, heater on
Big bolt of lightning hanging low
Over the coast, everyone's convinced
It's a government drone or an alien spaceship
Either way, we're not alone
I'll find a new place to be from
A haunted house with a picket fence
To float around and ghost my friends
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
The billboard said "The End Is Near"
I turned around, there was nothing there
Yeah, I guess the end is here

[Outro]
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is... ahh!

Achróa confirms and announces entry
Trangueli • 12 July

STA has once again - as expected - confirmed for the next edition of the Fantasia Contest! Achróa hasn't had an easy set of recent editions, now having come 8th in the semi-final twice in a row. Speculation fears that this become the new normal for Achróa, with some pundits dubbing Achróa as the Ermy of the semi-finals.


However, the broadcaster remains as eager as ever to participate and succeed! The entry remains grandiose in nature, but takes a notable turn away from the electronic bases of Death Engine and Become a Mountain, and rather uses them as embellishments for something more baroque. You can find out the Achróan entry by opening the spoiler below:

À l'ombre des cyprès
by Klô Pelgag

Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon (born March 13, 1990), better known by her stage name Klô Pelgag, is an Achróan singer-songwriter based in the small city of Deloqenç on the island of Loralat. She performs exclusively in Lakadamian, given that her parents are both from Lakadamia - part of the sizeable Lakadamian diaspora in Achróa (just like Christine & the Queens).

Beginning her career in 2009 as a performer at various festivals and music contests in Achróa, she released her self-titled debut EP in 2012. Her full-length album L'alchimie des monstres followed in 2013. She has since released two more albums: L'étoile thoracique in 2016 and her most recent album Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs in 2020, from which the Achróan entry is taken.

À l'ombre des cypres (In the Shadow of the Cypresses) is the fourth track from Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs, and is a maximalist baroque pop gem, with Klô's voice radiating both vulnerability and vindictive power. It is the first time Achróa has sent a song entirely in a language other than Everish, and the first time since the second edition back in 2015 that the entry features any Lakadamian lyrics.

We wish the best of luck to Klô Pelgag next edition!
