Calmyte and Becsulet in the Majestic Song Contest

Calmyte and Becsulet participated in the Majestic Song Contest for the first time in Majestic Song Contest 21. The nation has since won once on the 22nd edition and was given the rights to host the following edition.

The nation is mostly known to take turns between modern pop music and powerful non-English music, though that rule broke by the 25th edition, where the winner of an alternate national selection was sent straight to that edition. The rule returned in place by the 29th edition, where they had to use two more modern songs to balance out the nation's offering in the contest.

Majestic Song Contest 21
The nation recently gained independence from a union that benefits neither the government nor the citizens. The majority voted for it after seeing the former leader's scrutiny and bias against the whole nation itself, in fear of becoming a dictated country.

That said, they kept their promises on the topic of entertainment, where music blends well between traditional forms and modern innovation, and two months after its independence, Mr. Ericsson Tryangel, the brother of a CEO of another music network, where its sister nation is currently competing in the other two big names in song contests, inducted the presence of Calmyte and Becsulet's Entertainment, Radio and Television Network, to be shortened as CB ERTN.

A few days before the finals of the 20th edition, a representative of CB ERTN humbly asked for Tryangel's permission, as the country's music industry showed interest in participating in the Majestic Song Contest. The nation was then approved membership into the Majestic Broadcasting Network, through the proper entry between CEOs and representatives present in the signing of papers.

A day after attaining membership, CB ERTN's vice president Mrs. Leona Wittsby announced that worldwide sensation The Pussycat Dolls will represent the nation on their debut, especially being prepared to promote their new song "React", which gained popularity within days of its release but has criticized over its unfairness between the group's members.

On the 12th of May, they performed first at the third semi-final, preceding "The Actress" by Sada Vidoo of, and managed to qualify in 7th with 134 points, including a single "douze" points from.

On the 19th of May, a week after the semis, they performed 20th in the running order at the finals, following "Let It All Go" by Birdy and Rhodes of and just like in the semi-finals, precedes "The Actress". The nation ended up on 18th with 99 points, tying with "Better than Love" by Hurts of.

The viewing of the finals reached records of 2.3 million people watching it during the 3-hour show. Tryangel showed gratefulness for the love and support given to the nation's entry, especially to the artist, who previously participated in the MSC on its second edition representing, but failed to qualify back then.

Nicole Scherzinger, the vocalist of the group, did a live-stream minutes after the final, thanking their fans and all those who embraced the art of music, and telling the world that something new is coming soon.

Majestic Song Contest 22
It was announced that the nation will continue participation onto the MSC after their successful debut, and, in order to balance out the English to traditional entry points, it was also announced that a national final was on its way in order to find which song will represent then nation for the next edition of the MSC.

On the 27th of May, it was decided on the nation's first national final, Säng du Maplas, that after winning 85 points from both the nation's jury and the invited juries from the Majestic world, as well as achieving five "douze" points, and attaining 13 more points than the second placer, Coeur de Pirate will perform at Centifolia City in with the song "Crier tout Bas".

She will perform in the second half of the first semi-final at a later date in June of this year.

At the 17th of June, she performed 25th on the running order, and despite placing 5th with the juries and 2nd with the televotes, receiving 184 points, 22 more points than the runner-up (Leon of ), the nation was announced as the winner of the edition, being loved by fans and juries around the Majestic world.

de Pirate was in joy leaving the Gertrude Arena, saying that it happened before as a judge in "New Idol" and it happened again, as quality find its way to music.

Majestic Song Contest 23
Because the nation won the previous edition, it will become the host of this edition, to be held at Najouvib on specific dates in July 2020. Being the host country, they automatically qualify for the edition's grand finals, but still has to vote in semi-final two and three.

There was a planned national selection exclusive to English-language songs, where the theme was "duos", where songs must be performed by two people. However, Tryangel decided to cancel that idea, and select one of the songs from the supposed line-up, which was Lola Marsh's "You're Mine".

Majestic Song Contest 24
After hosting the previous edition, Tryangel has asked for another iteration of Säng du Maplas, knowing its success in the past (where the winner from its first season also won the respective edition). Hundreds were asked to be part of said national selection, and by the 20th of July, the official list of acts to perform in the national selection was released through CB ERTN's Twitter page.

The day before the final of Säng du Maplas 2, the Television of Jordania (TRJ) announced that one of the supposed acts for said national selection, Valentina Tioli, with her song "Ombre Cinesi" was internally selected to represent Jordania for the respective edition of MSC. Due to her announcement, she was removed from the line-up, as nine acts were left to compete for the nation's representative spot.

On the 27th of July, 13 juries from different nations, including C&B itself and the host of MSC24, Kanzen, voted to select which act will represent the nation in the main contest's respective edition. After all performances ended, results were given, and winning with 120 points, 23 points more than the second placer (Dr. Bebe by Pentagon, song #5), Polina Gagarina has been selected with her song "Melancholia". This will be her second time participating in the Majestic Song Contest (her first was back in the second edition, where she represented Slavia).

She is assigned to perform in the first semi-final, second in the running order following and preceding.

Majestic Song Contest 25
After experiencing the nation's first non-qualification from the final, being a special themed edition, fears rose as the credibility of music in Calmyte and Becsulet was questioned. However, despite said fears, Tryangel continued to find hope, and thus created a new kind of national selection to cater to this edition's special theme, where each nation must send an entry from their real-life home nation.

Thus, "Kanta-Kantahan" was held on the 25th August, where the national jury, with the help of 10 other national juries, selected a home name to represent C&B in this edition. Despite the controversy of re-appearance in national selections (wherein the entry was previously part of the line-up of the third Aurelian Music Fest held at the Maharlikan Prefecture in three months prior, placing sixth), Shanne Dandan, along with her song "Nag-iisa", won "Kanta-Kantahan" and was given the right to represent the nation in this edition.

On the 8th of September 2020, Shanne performed as the third-last act of the third semi-final, following HIEN and preceding  Daniel Pirvan. As results were announced, haters on Twitter went to the conclusion that "Nag-iisa" won't qualify since it sucked", and was said to be a "bad decision to use other songs from other nations", which Tryangel disagreed upon, but were quickly turned off, as the nation was called as the second qualifier for the grand final.

For a few fans watching the semi, they were disappointed and even shocked over the non-qualifications of and, especially for the former, being their first-ever NQ. There has even been a viral video of a young girl crying over the former's entry's (Ili (Hush) by Bea Lorenzo) non-qualification, saying that she was "beautiful" and that she "wanted her to win because it was perfect". The video has since gained a quarter of a million views on Facebook the day after the semi-final.

She performed as the 26th act in the final on the 17th of September 2020, following host nation and preceding returning nation and winner of the 19th edition. Bookmakers and prediction makers are pretty mixed on her spot in the final, where she is the fifth to last act to perform, which is the same place Coeur de Pirate performed on three editions ago, and it was the spot that gave her and the nation the win. However, with both jury favorites squishing Shanne, odds of winning were all over the place.

When results were announced, many fans watching through jury voting were surprised that C&B (a nickname for the nation) received more points than expected, even receiving douze points from, and , all concluding placing fourth according to the jury. Televotes weren't too impressive (placing 16th), but it was enough to tie for fourth and fifth overall. The nation was high enough to be an automatic qualifier for the next edition, and being a Filipino-derived song, "Nag-iisa" became the highest-rated Filipino-language song in the history of the Majestic Song Contest.

"I want to say thank you sa lahat na nagboto sa'kin (to all who voted for me) tonight. Pressured man ko (I was pressured) being on this stage, but I never stopped believing in making a great performance. Hindi expect ko mag-place sa 4th/5th (I didn't expect placing 4th/5th), but glad po ko para sa lahat sa inyong suporta ninyo (I'm glad for all of your support here). Thank you!", said Dandan on her way to the Majestic Village in Ostburn, where other interviewers surrounded her over her new Majestic record.

Tryangel applauded the whole of TRTN and Shanne Dandan for creating another unforgettable performance worthy of the song's placement and made even it better after going through the count of douze points, Calmyte and Becsulet were confirmed to placed fourth overall this edition.

Majestic Song Contest 26
Due to placing fourth the previous edition, the nation automatically qualified for the final this edition, to be held at, a nation where recent peace talks between both nations have been inconsistent due to the immature generalization looking upon certain villages being too "rowdy" for the public's liking.

However, Tryangel decided that "for once, we decided to have a bit of fun this edition, because people think that we're too classic, and always vying for wins and other misunderstandings, but we know that we won before, and are glad whenever someone else takes the crown".

A special internal selection was held in Hakamoto, where TRTN has selected "Hikari Are" by all-male band BURNOUT SYNDROMES. The song gained lots of popularity prior to its selection, being used as the opening for a well-appreciated cartoon about a volleyball championship. Said cartoon became loved living amongst nations of the regions of Pretoris, Espiria, and Rurikthos.

At the grand final on the 16th of October, the band performed ninth in the running order, following Olivia Adams (who unfortunately fell sick during her performance and got her disqualified) and  Lee Hi (whose final placement shocked many, even her nation's people), and as bookmakers predicted, "Hikari Are" became the lowest-ranking scored song by the end of the final, only obtaining 27 points, and would be last had both DQ'd nations ( and ) voted.

Fans were mostly disappointed with the nation's sudden drop from the last edition, but as Tryangel warned, "even though this song placed really low, know that we had fun". Many fans disagreed and went onto Twitter to trend #WTFTryangel throughout the nation's servers.

Majestic Song Contest 27
A few days after backlash over the nation's would-be last place, TRTN continued to stay on and hold another internal selection within Sapling, the smaller portion of New Hysteria City. Many artists performed their different entries, and some have past participation in other musical competitions, to varying success, but after the final of the previous edition, it was announced that Hilde Skaar, who goes by the stage name SKAAR, and her song "Five Times" would represent the nation for this specific edition.

It was also announced that the 22nd edition's winner and C&B-originated citizen Cœur de Pirate performed alongside other iconic winners of past editions of MSC to a sing-along at the Hall of Mirrors Exhibition Centre in Kaletis,.

SKARR performed as the second act in the third semi-final on the 9th of November 2020, where the audience loved her performance, and as many bookmakers predicted, she became the fifth act to qualify for the final during the announcement of the semi's eight qualifiers. The fans were mostly happy with the announcement, but some are still not happy with the song choice, arrangement, and background.

SKARR performed at the final on the 18th of November 2020, where many predict that due to how the song fared in other competitions, it has a chance to place in the top three, or even win. However, despite high expectations, the nation failed to receive a single 12-pointer from the jury, but it still placed 4th. Televoting fared slightly better than in the 25th edition, where the nation also placed 4th from the jury, where it ranked 10th. Overall, attaining 129 points, SKAAR ended up in sixth place, and despite not high enough to automatically qualify for the next edition's final, it managed to bring back the nation to a really good placement after a disastrous ending last edition.

Majestic Song Contest 28
Days after the previous edition, CB ERTN immediately sent out an online audition to both citizens of Calmyte and Becsulet and foreign citizens to participate in a new kind of national final, where the winner becomes the nation's representative for this edition of the Majestic Song Contest. Thousands auditioned, including small artists and bands from Sapling, notorious for having their artists place low in the nation's previous national finals (examples include Lanberry in SdM 2 and KZ Tandingan in Kanta-Kantahan). One of the final entries came from the city, where Charlotte Lawrence, who unknowingly by the majority of the nation represented (present-day ) in the 17th edition before, and her song, "Why Do You Love Me", received home love after being selected for the NF. The other four entries came from respectively, the nations of, (especially since it was supposed to be Korviet's entry in a previous edition, but backed out at the time), and the nation's own cities of Byeolharan (which Tiffany Young, who represented the province, would later participate at the 12th Aurelian Music Fest and got the right to represent  in a later edition) and New Hysteria City.

The national final was named "C&B Vibes", which wasn't really well-received by the teenage citizens, who thought that including the word "vibes" seemed like an attempt to look hip in this day of age but had a good line-up, according to bookmakers. It took place on the 22nd of November 2020, where performances had to be taken with a limited audience due to a small seating area, only filling 1,200 attendees at its peak.

By the end of the national final, Katy Perry (who previously represented the nations of in the 13th edition and  in the 14th edition, where she sang "Never Really Over" and "Small Talk" respectively, and qualified on the former) managed to receive the most points amongst nine other competing nations, and thus got the right to represent the nation this edition with her song, "Daisies", a song dedicated to her incoming baby.

Days before the beginning of voting for the edition's semi-finals, controversy arose between CB ERTN and two other broadcasters, LTRT and  MixTV, who were supposed to submit their votes to show support for the nation's participation to the current edition, but a lag of data leaves their points non-accountable from the total point counter, which would've changed the outcome of the national final if taken properly. Mrs. Criforia Busmitten, head of the C&B Technology Center, put out a statement via her Facebook, where she will take responsibility for any loss of accountable measures to be taken in future musical competitions held within the nation, and to formally apologize to LTRT and MixTV for their non-inclusion from the voting jury of the recent-finished national final.

Katy Perry performed last in the running order, behind returning nation 's Philippine in the first semi-final, and despite tough competition, knowing her resúme in Majestic, her chances of qualifications are favorable, based on odds. Fairly enough, on the 8th of December, she was announced as the fifth qualifier to the finals from the first semi-final, and also received the most reactions from Facebook, whether positive or negative to reacting to the song. Those with negative reactions complained at how mainstream the edition was by letting in predictable qualifiers like, and , as well as famous artists like CXLOE (who represented ) and Beyoncé (who represented ).

On the 16th of that same month, Perry would go and perform at the finals, 24th in the running order, after automatic qualifier and before. Being on the 5th to last placement of performance, odds were once again mixed, similar to Shanne Dandan's case three editions prior, where "Daisies" were between two strong favorites, but some say it can brave the wild and place well again. Hopes for the latter scenario following well was built upon during voting where the eventual winner of the edition gave douze to "Daisies", receiving cheers from those watching at home. C&B received 61 points from the jury.

Unfortunately, the song would receive the least amount of points from televoting, a home feat only done before to Burnout Syndromes two editions prior. With just 15 points, the nation ended up in 27th, second-to-last, just above, and it would become the nation's lowest placement (even with some nations disqualified for many reasons). Tryangel wasn't very pleased by the result but has composed himself and gave his congratulatory message to the winner, as well to all nations competing in this edition.

Majestic: On Break and Majestic Awards 2020
On the 20th of December, the management team would announce that the MSC would take a break (after 28 consecutive editions spanning three years) for a month. C&B's representative responded well, saying that it's the perfect time to focus on bringing high-quality songs to the board, and being in the holiday season, spend more time for the family.

SKAAR, the nation's representative on the 27th edition, was invited to a new year event on the December 31st, where other Majestic competitors participated as well, performing in front of the Majestica City Hall, where a fireworks display will be shown after the clock strikes 12 as the world enters 2021. She was the first performer after the fireworks display, where she sang a clean version of "24" and "Five Times", the latter where she placed sixth on her competing edition.

On the 6th of January 2021, another private event dedicated to MSC was held in Majestica Auditorium, named the Majestic Awards 2020, an awarding ceremony to those who have done the best through 2020's 12 different editions, based on style, love, and of course, music. The nation was nominated for 5 different categories, where Cœur de Pirate was nominated for four of them, and there were also sole nominations for Polina Gagarina and Shanne Dandan, the latter being part of one category alongside de Pirate.

At the end of the event, it was announced that the nation won one award, the "Best Non-Qualifying Song", where it was given to Polina Gagarina and her song "Melancholia", who originally didn't qualify at the 24th edition, placing 9th, after losing a tie with Kingdom of Athrium's "Nu sunt" by Nicoleta Nuca. Gagarina was grateful for receiving the award after a saddening NQ during her time as the nation's representative.

Majestic Song Contest 29
CB ERTN went back to choosing their entry internally, and this time, they went to New Hysteria City, selecting a more modern approach to a new age of music, Tryangel commented. As entry selection was open for this edition, it was announced on CB ERTN's official Twitter page that one, they will confirm for participation, and two, they will send "Tribalist (Get to Know) by modern duo iLL BLU, and young Sapling star Glowie. It's the second time the nation sends a co-ed act, after sending Lola Marsh six editions ago, during the nation's first hosting edition.

On the 10th of February, they performed second to last in the running order of the third semi-final, after (who had their best placement in a semi despite not qualifying) and before, and delivered a great performance. Once results were announced, they were called as the fifth nation to qualify for the final, typical of what C&B delivered with every new entry.

They performed on the 18th of February, eighth in the running order, after and before returning nation and first-time qualifier. The nation fared very well from the jury, receiving 81 points including a douze from Hastwyn, and placing 4th according to the jury. Televoting fared better than in recent editions for the nation, where it received 53 points, despite not receiving douzes from a single televoter. Overall, the nation attained a similar 4th/5th tied spot with, possibly automatically qualifying for the next edition, being an 80s' song-only edition. It's the third time the nation placed in the top 5, and the second time being on a top 5 tie with another country, the first back in the 25th edition where C&B was tied with at the time.

Majestic Song Contest 30
Prior to this edition, CB ERTN celebrated after confirming that the nation will compete on its tenth edition now, especially knowing how far C&B went through, including a win within the main contest eight editions ago, a sport sideline win, and an edition hosting.

As entry collection began, the nation went through another internal selection, heading back to Hakamoto, despite a lackluster result the last time an act from the province represented the nation, but hopes were constant, as they handpicked Takako Okamura and Haruko Kato, a Japanese duo known as Aming, and being a retro theme, will represent the nation with their debut song, "Matsu wa".

Calmyte and Becsulet performed first at the final, with performing after. It was decently received by the alternative fans, who enjoyed soft ballads. During voting, people in the nation were surprised that, who would place second at the end of this edition, gave their twelve points to "Matsu wa".

"We were just relaxing by the couches, talking to our advisers, when we suddenly heard our country name and the crowd were cheering. It was when the camera pointed to us that we cupped our mouths in shock, realizing that lovely Vladmanstan gave us twelve. I was pleasantly surprised." Okamura's translator said to the editor after the finals.

Overall, the nation received 55 points, placing 23rd place, tieing 's representative Diana Ross, and besides Vladmanstan, also received the renowned douze from and.

Majestic Song Contest 31
The English-language national selection "C&B Vibes" returned for a sequel to select the nation's representative for this edition. Being the first edition entering the new Majestic decade, organizers stated: "they wanted to make a great impression like it is their first". Five acts were then selected amongst both local and international music spots, some of which has the recognition amongst previous Majestic entrants, and some actually competed in the main contest before (the latter being Yves and Chuu of LOONA, who competed as solos prior to being part of the group).

Only a few nations stepped up to help with the international jury, spewing disappointment from TRTN's stakeholders and staff members, as well as some members of the audience at home. That said, by the end of the show, Claudia Valentina, a female singer from New Hysteria City, who also has roots from, came out victorious with her song "4:15".

Valentina competed in the first semi-final at Icaria,, performed second in the running order, following and preceding the. Despite being one of the more unsure entries of the nation's discography in the contest, as stated by Hilda Mertonium, a bookmaker manager from Fremragendon, with which some fans do agree, the nation was announced as the second qualifier for the finals.

Fans from Byeolharan were saddened over the non-qualification of 's Brave Girls, who performed Rollin' and placed 11th in the first semi-final, the same semi Valentina performed at. It was especially notable being the group had recently gained sudden attention from all around the world after a viral compilation of them performing songs for the military surfaced. Fansites however applaud the respect between the nation and the group for showing good sports and staying positive despite all uncertainty.

Claudia performed as the 13th act of the final, following debuting nation (whose qualification surprised many) and preceding automatic qualifier  (whose performer, which represented  two editions prior, attracted attention from Becsultian contest reporters). Being seen as a mediocre result, one never been done before since the nation's debut, she ended up 21st, missing the top 20 by 6 points, and overall receiving 71 points. Many people were a little disappointed, but Tryangel asked the public to applaud the winner regardless of who ends up with the crowm, which did this edition.

Majestic Song Contest 32
Säng du Maplas, the non-English national final, was set to return for its third iteration and would include artists from Fremragendon and Sapling who are popular in their region but were never given recognition outside of that. However, due to the fire of the Electric Magrezona Hall in Magrezona, Sapling, which happened of an unknown source, the national selection was then deemed canceled. The nation's representative for this edition was selected from a hidden jury under the Najouvib Music University (NJMU), and attaining 35% of the first-hand vote amongst 187 students was Chisu's "Ikäva", a Finnish song about missing someone you love.

Chisu performed in the first semi-final, fourth in the running order, after "The Letter" by Chevel Shepherd and before "Meaningless" by  Charlotte Cardin. She performed on a bulky pink dress, similar to the one she wore in the music video. Many people who've seen her performance were noticing how unusual her clothing choices were. Once results were announced, the nation continued its streak as it qualified to the final for the eighth edition now.

At the final, Chisu performed second in the running order, after the and before. For the second edition running, both the jury and the televoters were quite static at the nation's entry, giving C&B a final placement at 16th with 83 points.
