FruityTales Promo: Take 38

*[We fade in to reveal the kitchen countertop with the clapperboard that states the following: "FruityTales" at top, the first row reads: "Promo", "Scene" 1, and "Take" 38, and the second row is stacked: "Director: 'insert name here'" and "Camera: Phil A. Dendrum".]*

Director: *(very slowly)* Ok. FruityTales Promo: Take 38.

*... A Brief Message from*

*Rob(Apple) & Harry(Banana)*

*... Hosts of FruityTales*

Rob the Apple: Okay, get this. All the citizens of the kitchen come together, fruits, vegetables, small kitchen appliances, regardless of species, color or brand name, they all come together with one purpose, and that purpose...

Harry the Banana: *(leans in from the left, interrupts Rob)* Um Rob, you seen my plastic wind-up octopus anywhere?

Rob the Apple: Not really.

*(Ahem;)*

Harry thee Banana: (chuckles and leans out)

Rob the Apple: Anyway... that purpose is to create the most fantastic Christian children's series anyone has ever imagined. A show bursting with positive *(Harry's purple wind-up octopus passes by behind him)* values filled with lighthearted stories, songs and educational materials. *(Harry hops behind Rob, chasing after his octopus)* A show so bold, so innovative, so earth-shattering, it could only be called one thing besides VeggieTales: FruityTales!

*[An announcement promo card drops down on the screen, shaking it and getting into focus.]*

Harry the Banana: *(offscreen)* Oh, here it is. *(The card shakes once again)* Ah, can't see!

Archibald Celery: Just a minute, not so fast, before this nonsense goes any further, I just want everyone to know that I was against it from the start, isn't that right deary?

Lisa Celery: That's right, he was.

Archibald Celery: Yes, when that pepper came up to me, I...

Lisa Celery: You mean, a banana dear.

Archibald Asparagus: Oh yes, right. As I was saying, that banana came up to me and asked me what I thought we should do this weekend, I suggested a Fruit Salad might be nice, we haven't done one of those in a while, but no, they decided to do a YouTube show instead, I mean really, you put fruits in salads, you use them as side dishes, occasionally you might use them as an aesthetically-pleasing smoothie, but you should never, never put fruits on the internet, it is simply not done.

*(Archie leaves)*

Lisa Celery: I don't know, I kind of like the idea.

*(She leaves as well leaving Rob and Harry confused as it fades to black)*

 Winner

Tenth edition of the Musicella Song Contest was the last edition of the contest before its three-year-long hiatus. It was also the first edition to have more than one host city. The semi finals took place in **Palermo, Italy**, after Luna's victory in Saint Petersburg with her song "**Los Angeles**". The grand final was to be held in **Varaždin, Croatia**, the contest founder's hometown, but it was ultimately cancelled. 52 countries competed in this edition.

Since the grand final was cancelled, the winners of the two semi finals, Greece and Romania were both announced as the winners of the edition. All automatic qualifiers, except the host country Croatia, were announced as runners-ups, while the rest of the final scoreboard was formed by using the semi final points. This method of delivering results caused controversy and dissatisfaction among participants.

## Format

The format for edition 10 was slightly different to the one used in previous editions. This was the first edition without staff choice qualifications. Instead, additional 4 qualifiers were decided by random selection from participants who took part in all 10 editions, as a sign of gratefulness for loyal participation. The contest host Albania, host countries Italy and Croatia, and Spain (as a compensation for not being an automatic qualifier in edition 2, which they hosted), completed the automatic qualifier lineup. 22 countries competed in each semi final with 10 qualifying from each, therefore forming a grand final of 28 participants.

## Semi Final 1

The first semi final took place on 11 June 2019. Twenty-two countries participated in this semi final. The results were announced two days after. Highlighted countries qualified for the final.

## Semi Final 2

The second semi final took place on 19 June 2019. Twenty-two countries participated in this semi final. The results were announced two days after. Highlighted countries qualified for the final.

## Grand Final

On 2 July 2019, the grand final of Musicella 10 was officially cancelled. The winners of the two semi finals, Greece and Romania were both announced as the winners of the edition. All automatic qualifiers, except the host country Croatia (placed last), were announced as runners-ups, while the rest of the final scoreboard was formed by using the semi final points, as shown below.

## Host city

The initial plan for this edition was to once again have two host cities, like edition 10, especially since the previous edition had two winners.

The contest was held in the country's capital city, Bucharest.
