History
In 2011, Alpine Interior Telekast began picking up extended 3rd party coverage of Worldvision Song Contest, as an attempt to raise viewership. The buzz that stirred as a result caused national interest in the contest.
Lienne Krej was asked to represent Syrche in WorldVision after a second place showing in the 6th Sunlight Song Contest. Her 12th place finish was an optimistic beginning for the country, that has yet to be bested.
The next year, Lejn Andersson won the Sunlight Song Contest, and was favored to represent in WVSC. In the contest, however, Revelations, a song that resonated well with the general public in Syrche, was poorly received, and a real let down.
3 Editions of WorldVision went by; and it was decided that Syrche would again compete. Joliet Thomasson, a bar singer with good looks and progressive views was asked to represent Syrche. That year the Alpine Interior Telekast decided to send its own cast of commentators. Chosen to imbue musical insight were: Radio Host Rici Sentasi, World renowned Record Producer Madem Palorvikk and Theatrical Star Dana Simmons. The commentary was a bigger hit than the performance, that year.
For WorldVision 26, it was decided that Syrche needed to beef up their presence a bit, so the choice was handed to the Dalia Rekorder, the largest Record company in Syrche. They chose an up and coming 3 piece R&B group called K-City-X. With poise, style, attitude and lyrics that wrapped themselves into the song, "Minor Attraction" was expected to perform well, however, due to a misinterpretation of the translated lyrics, some in the international community were set against the song.
K-City-X lead singer Diva had stated that the reason for the full English lyrics was because of the failure of a fully Datsche song the year before. After the incident, K-City-X changed the name of their album to "Corruption of a Minor" in reference to the incident, however, it had a similar effect with Syrchesi audience, and the group quickly fell of the charts.
Worldvision 27 saw the low-key internal selection of Natalie Reatt. Worldvision 27 was the only time that a Sÿrchesi entry was disqualified for failure to vote. It also garnered the least amount of points of any Sÿrchesi entry to date.
The decision was made to bow out of WV28. 3rd party coverage of the contest was still widely popular, and the WV28 contest convinced the nation that it was time for a return.
National Final that year produced Sheante: a fierce, blue haired transsexual. Following her selection, Sheante immediately went to work with producers Faolin O'Toole and Les Moore at the newly formed One International Records. A production sample of the song that leaked online generated a lot of buzz.
Sheante's "Broken Love" became the second best resulting song that Syrche had ever presented in the contest, coming 14th place.
The next few cycles went by. WV34 finally saw the return that the public had been kept waiting for. This time it was Danil Kim, immigrant from the SouthEast Asian nation of Chaille Bao, with "Gravity," a progressive ballad detailing the illicit affairs of a failed romance. This song was the third best result for Syrche, at 19th place. This also was the last time that Syrche would compete in Worldvision for 31 editions.
Syrche returned for Worldvision Song Contest 65. The Sunlight Song Contest was used as the National Final, where Nilsen, composed of two brothers from town of Attamark, heavily favored over their opponents. Nilsen placed 19th
For WVSC 66, SHEANTE resurfaced and was put to test in the Sunlight Song Contest where she beat out Varøka Salona (Commentator of WV34) and The Band Freebird in a bid to return to the World Stage. Sheante made history with the song "Against the Flame" which placed 7th in the competition, garnering 77 points: The best placing Syrche has yet seen and it's only top ten finish so far.
For WorldVision 68, L. Morty was chosen after winning the Sunlight Song Contest. Directly afterward, however, the economy plunged into decline during the Datsche Banking Crisis of 2018. The Contest was put on hold. L. Morty would return for WV70.
Lejn Andersson II won the next Sunlight Song Contest and scored modestly at Worldvision 71, Tying Mister X for 11th place.
