Ulikana Desidé Oinoche: Difference between revisions

'''''Ulikana Desidé Oinoche''''' ([[Ulikya language|Ulikan Cyrillic]]: ''Уликана Десидё Оиноче'', [[Everish language|Everish]]: ''Ulikana Decides Tonight''), often shorted to '''''U.D.O.''''' is a song competition organised by [[Ulikana|Ulikan]] public broadcaster [[Ulyck Radio and Television]] (URTV), heavily inspired by the famous [[Namimori|Namimorish]] singing competition [[Singing Man]]. It has selected the nation's representative for the [[Fantasia Contest]] from its [[Fantasia Contest 25|twenty-fifth edition]]. The national selection's first edition consisted solely of one show, where the winner was chosen from thirteen acts in a standard F.C.-style voting pattern. Starting from the [[Fantasia Contest 26|twenty-sixth edition]], however, the selection is plannedexpanded to have two stages of competition, consisting of a "final" and "superfinal" stage. During its fourth edition, the contest received a major overhaul and shrunk back into a single stage consisting of only six songs.

The competition is broadcasted both on the URTV main and music channels, as well as streamed online via [[https://urtv.uk/udo|urtv.uk/udo]]. Online streaming has been made available across all nations of southern Wulfor including the [[United States of Eldance|U.S. Eldance]]. As of October 2021, The show is one of the top ten most-watched programs in Ulikana, as well as the most-watched competition program and live event in the nation, garnering 3.8 million viewers for its most recent final.

Although the contest is incredibly popular in the Ulikan union, it has yet to produce a successful entry for the nation. Ulikana has yet to qualify for the final of the Fantasia Contest,. It has comingcome closest to qualification in the contest's [[Fantasia Contest 2427|twenty-fourthseventh edition]] with internally-selected chanteuse {{flagicon|Ulikana}}{{flagicon|Lakadamia}} [[SÔNGE]], who was only twenty-three points away from qualification.

Ulikan broadcaster URTV had been approved to join the [[Fantasia Broadcaster Association]] as a full active member in February of 2021, only a few days before the closing of the confirmation period for the twenty-fourth edition. URTV had always planned to use a national selection as a means of determining both their act and song for the song contest, but since the confirmation period for the next edition was close to closing, the broadcaster had not time to set up a selection. A few artists had already been in talks to submit songs for consideration, and URTV ended up selecting [[SÔNGE]] with the song ''Winer'' to compete in the nation's inaugural edition. Before the live airing of the twenty-fourth edition, URTV announced they had developed a national selection to determine acts for future editions. They eventually opened the submission form for the first edition of U.D.O. prior to the grand final of that edition. The format is taken mostly from ''Singing Man'', Namimori's multi-edition selection for the same contest. The "superfinal" format, used from the second edition of the selection, is said to be based off ofon [[Zylomelodija]], [[Zylofonija]]'s selection for the FC.

The selection has previously gone without hosts, instead inviting various local celebrities to present separate parts of the show. The appreanceappearance from these celebrities in editions without presenters has been minimal, with URTV relying instead on on-screen diagrams and narrations to explain parts of the show that don't need a host as much. Official presenters, however, have been used for editions with a larger production value or needing more than one phase of competition.
