Did you know, that the newest addition to Heart of Europe's cultural program is a talent show? Coupled with the traditional International Friendship Night on Friday, it will be a unique opportunity for the participants to bedazzle everybody by their mad skills and become the official superstar of the tournament. Every performance art is welcome, be it singing, dancing, acting, free style sport, anything but debating (obviously). While the best debaters will arise at the end of the tournament, the talent show offers an alternative way of excelling right from the start, as well as bringing people closer together. Amusingly, there is no reason to forbid the participation of judges side by side with the debaters in this case, and some of the main judges and even staff members are already seriously considering stepping up to the challenge, most notably Frankie Cena, the last year's Mr. World Canada, with his beautiful singing, and Nae Sovaiala from Romania, a professional dancer. So what about you, are you game?
In case you are feeling somewhat intimidated, don't. There is certainly no reason to worry - we don't have a Simon. In fact, there will be no judges for the talent competition, and even calling it a competition is not entirely accurate. The important thing is that it is a show and the only decision as to who will be the ultimate superstar of the Heart of Europe 2013 will be made by everyone involved. Each participant and viewer will cast a single secret vote after the last performance is over for a single interpret. The interpret with the most votes will logically win the title and perhaps even some sort of prize. We recognize that the participants have more than enough of judging as it is, both on the side of being judged and on the side of having to make weighty decisions that affect the outcome of the tournament. The main objectives are to have fun and to provide a variable amount of minutes of fame for those interested in the proposition.
Speaking of variable amounts of fame, we do intend to document the talent show and put it on our youtube channel. However, if you happen to be a performer who would rather wish to forget about the whole incident after the fact, stay calm. If you decide after your performance that you really do not wish to become famous, we will exclude you from the final cut of the video. We are not trying to emulate the sensation-hunting, career-crushing showbiz media. We would of course like to feature mainly the best performances, and we find it reasonable to expect that those interprets will be the most proud of the shows they put on and the most glad to be publicly presented. So memorize the lyrics, grab a musical instrument, prepares some moves or ask us to provide what you need. I will personally spend the next few days building up my excitement.
