The Jollies appear in the middle of the red carpet while a bit of their song 'Viva La Vida' in salsa version plays in background, just outside the arena. The music stops and they look excited in their own different ways. "Hellooooo, viva la vidaaaa!" Shouts David first followed by Zafari's "Wooo, Hi world!".
Rose just waves with a warm smile while Fabriano smirks almost containing the excitement but still tries to keep it cool and pose for photographers - the usual vain one. Natasha just grins excited and looks around, then at the camera.
David takes the word back "So we have finally reached this night and it felt like it's been so, so long since last time we met here at the FAN. CHOICE. AWARDS. How many things that just happened?" "Well, we have a vaccine this time." Gags Zafari as Rose laughs. "Yes! Oh my God!"
"Well, well..." David seems to like the presenter role as he continues taking the camera's attention. "You know, we're not here to remind you about this pandemic again this night, we want you to have a good time and forget about it for the night BUT we felt like we couldn't go on pretending that nothing happened, am I right?" He looks at his bandmates, who nod and agree.
Natasha takes the word. "Absolutely. Tonight, before we start this wicked show let us take you through this year and let's celebrate the people suffering in this period and who is not with us anymore. Please take a look with us here."
Quote:THE FIVE JOLLIES TURN AROUND TO LOOK AT THE HUGE SCREEN BEHIND THEM AND A VIDEO STARTS. IT'S A TRIBUTE TO REMEMBER ALL THE VICTIMS OF THE COVID PANDEMIC SINCE 2020.
IMAGES OF THE FIRST NEWS IN MARCH 2020 ARE SHOWN SLOWLY SHOWING THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PANDEMIC IN UK AND THEN WITHIN THE REST OF THE WORLD. BITS OF THE QUEEN SPEAKING ARE SHOWN, THE POPE WALKING ALONE IN VATICAN, PEOPLE SINGING FROM BALCONIES, PROTESTS, SHOPS CLOSING, MORE INTIMATE VIDEOS OF A MOTHER PUTTING A MASK ON HIS BABY DAUGHTER, THEN TINY BITS OF OTHER PRESIDENTS FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD SPEAKING WITH SUBTITLES, CINEMAS AND THEATERS CLOSED, EMPTY CITIES.
THROUGH THE END OF THE VIDEO, IT GOES TO THE HARDEST PART... DOCTORS AND NURSES TRYING TO DO THE BEST OF THEIR JOBS, WITH BRUISES ON THEIR FACES AND PATIENTS IN BEDS. BITS OF FUNERALS AND FAMOUS FACES PASSED AWAY FOR THIS REASON ARE SHOWN BUT A HOPE SHINES AT THE END, A VACCINE FOUND SHOWS AND KIDS LAUGHING, GRANDPARENTS HUGGING THEIR RELATIVES AND SOME PATIENTS CELEBRATING THE END OF THEIR RECOVERIES.
A MESSAGE APPEARS. "TOGETHER, THIS TIME."
The Jollies reappear on the screen as they turn back to face the camera. Rose is visibly crying, she is very sensitive and as people in the red carpet audience applaud with the Jollies for some long seconds before the music finishes, some of the Jollies look at each other. It's hard to find words to speak after such video but Zafari does it.
"Like the video said... You know, there's no better time to get together and celebrate life. We can do it and we will do it tonight." And David adds "You know that nothing unites us more than music. Let's do it."
So while Natasha pats Rose on the back and gives her a 'It's fine' look and Rose nods smiling, the five walk through the carpet speaking as Zafari continues. "This gonna be awesome you know, your faves will receive awards and some others of your faves will perform for ya." "Ooh, yes. And there's new talent to discover, as well." Adds Natasha.
Rose looking excited again she finally takes the word. "Aw... yes! Last year we had a wonderful show with biggies like
GEMMA KANE,
JOSHUA GRIMMIE,
PROXIMO,
KIDD AMAZE,
ISABEL and
RYAN ROSS HERNANDEZ.
"And we also performed last year! Hey!" David shouts winking at the camera and Natasha nods proudly behind him. These guys are like living memes for what they do and act sometimes.
"And I know some other exciting, amazing performances are going to be held by [ADD PERFORMERS] this year, WOW!" Rose finishes.
"And the list is long for the awards nominees, everyone got some potential to win." Finally speaks Fabriano adjusting his hair later as Rose replies. "Oh yes! I think we should gossip about it with someone else? I mean, someone who's not in the group?" "Ooh, yeah. I know you four anyway, let's see what someone else thinks." Says Natasha.
"And well, here she is then... the one and only...." David begins to announce as they all together say the name "
TIKA MAYS!!"
Tika walk down as she smile & waves at The Jollies before she could look at camera as she went down to stand next to Fabriano & finally say "Hello everyone!"
"Hi lovely!" Rose greets her with a warm waving and smiling as Fabriano just stares deeply at her, maybe hiding something? Anyway David gets right in the middle of the two with a grin. "Hi Tikaa... Are you excited? I am about to explode of energy."
"Yep I am really excited for this so i can't wait" as she does her cute pose & smile at Fabriano
David continues. "So we were talking about the awards and we will be announcing three awards before the show, the 'Favorite Social Media' award, the 'Favorite Movie/Show' and the 'FCA Artist to Watch'. So let's talk about this last one, because so many artists could jump and give a shot to their dream despite a pandemic. Internet has really helped and this year we are graced with new acts like
KESHIA LOVE,
SAHARA BLUE,
SLIM MONEY,
CAMILLE PRESTON,
FANGZ and
SAMANTHA STEVENS." "Yaay! I love it!" Shouts Rose excited clapping for the new acts. "I see a lot of Hip Hop, R'n'B, Rap activity in the newest music... That's interesting." "We don't count in that, right?" Asks Zafari and Nat replies. "Nope, I don't think we'd be so colorful if we were." "Ooh Nat, c'mon, that's judgemental and stereotypical" Says David showing his rainbow bracelet to the camera, then he looks at it and Nat nods at him like 'I told ya'.
"Anyway" Zafari takes the word. "What award are you looking forward to Tika?"
Tika smiling mysteriously "Oooh well all i can say is that the award I'm definitely looking forward is any of them awards so yeah"
"Coooool" Replies Zafari and a smiling Rose looks at the camera. "And lovely acts like
MANDY WILLIAMS,
RADIO VINE,
AMY MEYER and
MIMI are nominated for the 'Best Album' award with Joshua Grimmie and Isabel as well, that is such, like, a huge achievement."
"Absolutely." Nods Natasha and Zafari continues. "And last year
NAOMI and
ERICH HESS won the most awaited awards, the sexiest female and male awards, soooo the nominees are many this year but to top these two sexy ones, man that's gonna take much."
"Yeah so i'm hoping to see PROXIMO win their first awards because they were like my brother since i was in La Familia" she says as she had her finger crossing hoping that there will be no problem "So anyway I do have advice for everyone so even if you don't win you should always remembers that no matter win or lose you will always be the winner in your heart so that is my advice for everyone"
"I think we have spoken a lot guys, I guess our celebs are coming, let's have them talk for us now!" David says grinning and Zafari shouts "LEGGOOOO" as they begin to walk around the red carpet to find celebrities to interview.
