Atlantis Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 People comparing Spain to any recent popgirl entry Have you seen the full performance? Her stage presence and dancing are on another level, there's no way this is gonna flop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it finishing top 5 with the juries and 14th/15th with the televote and sneaking through in 9th/10th, although this + Iceland are my least certain qualifiers imo. I hope tonight's performances will tip the scales in favor of Iceland and Lithuania. I can see them getting general praise from the critics + some scattered votes from the televote. Does the jury vote in the semi finals or is it just televotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both semi finals and final are 50% jury 50% televote. The jury voted yesterday during the jury show. Tonight will be televote only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slomo has harder choreo, but it’s a little all over the place and isn’t quite as effective. I’m not saying Spain will flop, but I truly can’t imagine Spain doing better with juries than how Eleni did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komet Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Chanel is eating Eleni up in both choreo and vocals department let's be real, I didn't see Eleni rolling on the floor and then jumping into a vocal run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komet Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Don't get me wrong, Eleni served, did what she had to do and Fuego deserved the win. Which is part of the reason I'm stanning Spain, it's been too long since My Number One and we need a pop bop girl to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funhouse Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I love both Fuego and SloMo, but the only thing Fuego has on SloMo is camera work tbh. The way that performance is filmed makes Eleni look like an absolute star, every little movement is impactful. Chanel is the better dancer and singer of the two and I'd say the songs and styling are about equal. The camera work in 2018 was much better than 2022 in general and SloMo already looks pretty good for this year's standards Edited May 10, 2022 by Funhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she’ll focus on them tonight more? Both audio and video are LQ, especially the audio. Not sure how can you judge the vocals from that leak? She proved herself and her vocals during the last few months. Everything about SloMo is more demanding compared to Fuego. SloMo is extremely polished both dancing and vocally. The new high notes they added during the final part of the performance just after the dance break are very, very demanding, especially considering that she is dancing her ass off just few seconds before that. I don't remember any of the girls SERVING this kind of performance in recent years and somehow Chanel still gets downplayed... smh. Edited May 10, 2022 by BOOM!

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 10, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2022 The way some of us just say “we don’t think Spain will flop but it’s weaker than the second best song from a few years ago” yet we get responses like we’re saying it’s an awful Sisters sized flop.

If the Serbs sent Sara Jo, we would’ve gotten endless Sara vs. Chanel fan arguments by now. Konstrakta being selected is already a win in itself as In Corpore Sano got a lot of attention from international media and not just Serbia alone. Try to imagine that if Sara Jo got selected instead.

Atlantis Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I mean I wasn't really referring to Eleni but to people saying Spain will underperform just because almost all the popgirls flopped recently and they also danced a bit...

igninton Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Fuego was cute but Eleni was serving Gaga moves during the Born This Way Ball tour while Chanel IS the perfect package. also Chanel is giving me more Iveta than Eleni anyway Edited May 10, 2022 by igninton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
