A place in which Helenaists can come together in appreciation for our queen, Helena Bonham Carter. Enjoy your stay in Helena Heaven x (this is the new Helena Heaven) i lost control of the other account and have had to tail it on to my main blog, therefore i cannot follow directly from this blog.
Thank you so much! because of your piss poor service and your misquoting of the service you provide I have been unable to fulfil my dream of creating the HBCBP 2013. I hope you are happy. Because I certainly am not.
I apologise profusely to you all. It is something i still wish to pursie and will provide amended details soon! <3
raise your hand if you got bogged down with work and didn’t get a chance to put the lyrics up
Panda apologises- lyrics will be under read more at the bottom of this post.
Okay guys, here is what you have to do.
With the submissions made we were able to mix and match and recreate the lyrics in to a Helena theme. and now helenasits, you are tasked to record yourself singign these new lyrics in order to create a video for Helena’s birthday which is coming up soon!(this can just be an audio or can be an audio/visual- your choice)
You also have the choice to either sing your favourite bit of the song or the whole thing, once you have finished recording please send the video clips to [email protected]. I will then edit all of the submissions together creating a compilation video of people singing.
(depending on how many people take part there is likely to be 2 or more videos of the song to make sure everyone is featured!)
Any questions? please direct them to my inbox (either my email address or my tumblr one- we can discuss alternatives to email submissions of videos if you wish, just ask i am happy to help)
I am sure nobody is a terrible singer :) Iif people are just ending audio clips and not visual these will be when pictures/videos of helena are incorporated. During the instrumental there will also be a montage of Helena clips to enjoy :D

Here we are!
She's so very small,
With a whole load of kooky clothes
She loves diet coke and
Brings It with her to all her shows
Just being cool,
Being perfect with Tim Burton.
Just being so lovely
Making all of us go, "Awh, Hel!"
Look at her, look at her, look at her, look at her. Stunning! Perfection is overrated?
Look at her, look at her, look at her, look at her. Stunning! perfections overrated?
Failed ape school again
Lost in a desert in wonderland
But it's all ok
Because we’re all loving Helena
3 drinks in her hand
No one even knows what they are
Red lips need a straw
That's what we learnt from Helena
Listen up, listen up, listen up, listen up BOVINE
Do you even know what word means?
Listen up, listen up, listen up, listen up BOVINE
You should really know what that the word means
(Instrumental)
Hey come over here
Let me tell you, your hair’s divine
We’ll watch you go out there (out there)
And rock the carpet by being you (yeah)
Happy Birthday Hel,
We hope you like what we’ve done for you
It’s only a small thing
To show the love we have for you
Oh….
Look at you look at you look at you look at you hellie !
We’re your helenaist and we love you
Look at you look at you look at you look at you hellie !
The finalised lyrics will be announced TOMORROW! Keep a look out! I am also currently seeking a way in which i can send you all the backing track by the means of a download site and once this is done I WILL POST THE LINK (JUST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL WOKING WITH THE SAME BACKING TRACK FOR RECORDING)
(I AM STILL WAITING ON SOME JUDGING FEEDBACK, IF YOU WISH FOR YOUR COMMENTS TO BE TAKEN IN TO CONSIDERATION PLEASE SEND IT TO ME ASAP (APOLOGISE MY CAPS IS STUCK) IF YOU NEED A REMINDER OF MY EMAIL ADDRESS OR NEED ME TO SEND THE LYRICS TO YOU AGAIN PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP!)
EXCITING TIMES HELENAISTS (HOPEFULLY TOMORROWS MESSAGE WILL BE IN LOWER CASE!)
Those that have not done so yet please return your feedback to me ASAP. Preferably by first thing tomorrow as I need to get the final version of lyrics out to start recording.
All of the judges should have received 2 messages from me by now
1 with lyrics one with a message about them. If i have sent one but not the other then please let me know. I have been at this for the last 2 hours and have kind of lost track!
If I have forgotten anyone then please tell me! and I am sorry if I have forgotten you, some were sent via email some on here!
Could the anon (anons?) that just sent lyrics contact me with their URLs if they would not mind, I only ask so I have a point of contact to let you know if your lyrics are used in the final piece.
Just a reminder you have just oer 24 hours left to submut lyrics for th HBC Birthday Project 2013 (fitting Rufus Wainwright's Out of the Game)
The submissions so far have been fabulous! So if you want your lyrics to be considered for the final product (be it a line, verse, chorus or the whole song) then get writing and submitting :)
FAO: Judges/Selection Panel of the HBC Birthday Project 2013
Hey Judges!
Welcome to the judging panel for the HBC Birthday Project 2013!
You can follow new posts for the project using #hbc birthday project 2013 , anything I post regarding the project will be posted there and some of it will be specifically regarding the judging so keep a look out!
Here is how this shindig will go down.
By request, I have extended the submission closing date for lyrics until Friday 5th April.
On the 6th and 7th I will be sending out the submissions for all judges to look over and calling a small ‘tumblr conference’ on Sunday 8th to discuss the entries and our opinion on what we feel will be appropriate to use in the final product of the helenaists performing the song for YouTube.
I am aware that some of us are in different timezones and no time will be convenient for all so on this note if you are all comfortable to give me your email addresses this could help with the sending out of lyrics and feedback of opinions. This is up to you of course, if you would rather our communication was just tumblr based this is fine J
If any of you have questions about anything else regarding judging feel free to drop me a post.
I will probably post a more in depth run down next week.
Thank you for taking part in the project x
P.S. As I posted previously, being part of the panel does not exclude you from submitting some lyrics yourself if you wish to, it will mean that when it comes to discussing your lyrics you will not be involved in that particular discussion, a guest judge will be used in your place only in these instances. So please, feel free to submit lyrics too! :D
By request, the submission date for lyric submissions has been extended. The new closing date is not friday 5th april, I repeat, the new closing date is FRIDAY 5TH APRIL at let's say... 11pm BST (that is British Summer Time)
I have had some submissions already and they are great, I am looking forward to seeing what more there is to come :)
JUDGES!
In the next 15 mins I will be creating a post specifically for you, I will tag you in the tags and send out fanmail messages with the link to the page to make sure you all see it.
Does being on the panel make the judges exempt from submitting lyrics?
You ask a good question anon, it is something I had been thinking about...
I personally see no reason why they can't still submit lyrics. It will mean however that in that instance they are excluded from any decisions made over the use of their lyrics. The other judges will make the decision.
In these instances, a guest judge will become involved as to make it fair (so all lyric submissions go through 8 judges)
I would like to introduce you to the Judging panel for the lyric submissions for the birthday project. The panel consists of...
Myself (helenaxheaven aka fix-me-evil-regal)
bellena-hoffman
lestrangerthings
lovelyhelenabonhamcarter
icanbethequeenthatsinsideofme
brycewillplay
iwannabehelenabonhamcarter
bleed-like-me
Judges will receive a message from myself in the next few days to inform them of duties and a more detailed run down of what will go down.
Helenaists, you have 10 days left to submit your lyrics! I have had a query about email submission of lyrics instead of inbox submissions, this is absolutely fine If you would like to email just drop me an ask and i will give you my email address!
