Avatar Renaissance Championships

Battle #8: Music & Vids

This was devised and judged by Travahar.

First place:
Song: Elements
Artist: Blue

Fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. Only a good self-made musicvid would have been able to beat it.
Huuray to the Fire Nation for their great taste in music (and the fact that they have General Conzu on their team)

Best Nation:
This was a photofinish between air and water. Great songs, hard decision but in the end the song that featured in Shrek (I NEED A HERO by: Bonnie Tyler) gave just that little extra that made the Water Nation better.

Results:
100 points to the Fire Nation
2x25 points to the Water Tribe
Karma to all the others.

RULES

After all these Haiku Rounds I felt it was time for a different contest. That's why I'm starting the eight battle which will be an art contest.

Your Goal:
The song that suits best the Avatar-universe (has one or more elements in it).
Example: Michel Sardou - les Lacs du Connemara (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l11GyqVu_-o). The first line says: Terre brûlé au vent (or translated earth burned by wind ... get it? Earth, fire and wind are in the song). The song can be in english, dutch or french.

Scoring points:
o The more elements are mentioned the better (a song with 20 times the word fire in it, looses from a song with each element mentioned once)
o I accept everything: title and author, songtext, youtube-vid of the song ... (of course a youtube-vid beats a text-only entry which in turn beats a title-only entry ... and on top of the pyramid is an avatar-music-fanvid of course)

Distributing points:
First place gets 100 points.
Best Nation gets 2x25 points.

Time:
Wait ... wait ... wait ... ok, GO! Contest has started
and will end next week sunday at 12h (my time as usual).

Have fun and good luck

EDIT: Oh and if two people enter the exact same song and vid the second one will be deleted (but the second person has the right to send in a new entry)

WINNERS

Conzu’s Entry: 'elements' of Blue:

LYRICS:

Alice in here wonderland,
her world is big but it's just pretend,
is there a day when we will understand,
this circus we call life

I keep on hearing time and time again,
If we won't listen
then our world will end,
we don't say it just to make amends,
listen through the script of prayers

It's not necessary for an eagle to be a crow,
the circle of life is here
and respect must be shown

Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our disire,
to fight for what we know is right,
lost in our way of life,
Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our desire,
to fight for what we know is right,
the Elements of life

Would you believe there are better ways,
to justify what the people say,
nothing seems unique these days,
in the circus we call life
I've heard the line that I'm just a man,
nothing changes we must make a stand,
and if that means to fight we can

It's not necessary for an eagle to be a crow,
the circle of life is here
and respect must be shown

Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our disire,
to fight for what we know is right,
lost in our way of life,
Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our desire,
to fight for what we know is right,
the Elements of life

Colours and fountains and mountains and trees,
take just a second to stop and to think,
God was an atrist painted pictures to see,
look how beautiful life can be

Colours and fountains and mountains and trees,
take just a second to stop and to think,
God was an atrist painted pictures to see,
look how beautiful life can be

Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our disire,
to fight for what we know is right,
lost in our way of life,
Earth, wind, water and fire,
seems like we've lost our desire,
to fight for what we know is right,
the Elements of life

Colours and fountains and mountains and trees,
take just a second to stop and to think,
God was an atrist painted pictures to see,
look how beautiful life can be

Colours and fountains and mountains and trees,
take just a second to stop and to think,
God was an atrist painted pictures to see,
look how beautiful life can be
oh, yeah

Aparider’s Best Nation Entry: ‘I Need a Hero’ by Bonnie Tyler

LYRICS:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Chorus)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Honorable Mention is Flam - Katara the Flamaingo’s Entry: "We Are W.I.T.C.H" by Marion Raven for the TV series on Jetix: W.I.T.C.H.

LYRICS:

We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H. We are, we are...W.I.T.C.H

There is a place where darkness reigns.
We've got the power to fight back.
We save the day. United five as one.
We can become more then you know,
The heart will lead the way to what we can control.
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Guardians Unite!

We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...W.I.T.C.H
We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...

We fight the life, we fight the truth, this is our revolution.
In day and night, we have the strength and courage.
With all the nice, we bind the light,
Together we will have the power to control.
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Guardians Unite!

We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...W.I.T.C.H
We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...

Our world is more than we see.
There's danger that lies beneath.
We fight to protect the free.
(Water, Fire, Earth, and Air)

To protect the free...
(Water, Fire, Earth, and Air)
Guardians Unite!

We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...W.I.T.C.H
We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...

We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...W.I.T.C.H
We are, we are, we are W.I.T.C.H We are, we are...
W.I.T.C.H!
