And the Chanel wannabe moments are so obvious and so far from her quality that they make it even worse I understand you may not like it, but everyone and their moms are eating it up. It has a neat production, good choreo (except the dance break) and Jorge's stage presence is great. As someone who's watching outside of Spain, this is a clear winner. You need to find another word to describe it, cause "joke" isn't working.

I loved "Novi plan, drugi san" but this sounds like the demo version of NPDS. It's very similar song, but not as good. Konstrakta is in the same position, "In corpore sano" was an amazing bop and "Novo, bolje" is not it. Zorja's last year song was also better, at least for Eurovision. Yes, it was a dated Balkan ballad, but it was good overall. Zejna is the only one that stepped up and served even bigger and better bop than "Rumba". I think I like Novi plan, drugi san a little bit more than Duga je noć too, at least that's my opinion for now, but both songs are bops imo! I'm looking forward to the live performance

I mean he got the 1st place on votes ( both public votes ) and he has more than double views and tiktok is all over him I understand that its a little bit trash the whole thing But this is Eurovision. If you dont aim for the top5 with another contestant, why not to go with this one and make the biggest buzz of the year Now seriously... does he have any chance to win Benidrom ? Do we think that the jurys will be nicer to him on the final after seeing what the public wants ?

Do we think that the jurys will be nicer to him on the final after seeing what the public wants ? Spanish system is very jury heavy, so whoever gets their support will win. I’m guessing St. Pedro will get it because he scored well with demoscopic jury and televote, alongside the nearly perfect jury score. Even if Jorge wins both televote and demoscopic jury, he needs to get at least ~75 points from the “expert” jury to even stand a chance at winning (he got 42 yesterday dd). Let’s hope the judges got scared of the gay wrath
BOOM! Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I wasn't really following Benidorm Fest at all this year, but i watched all the performances that qualified for the finals and i can see that one and only miss Chanel continues to inspire others... Sadly "Caliente" is not it, because while it's a nice try, it's also very messy and not nearly as good overall. It will take some time for them to top, or even repeat what miss Chanel did for Spain!
Hurem Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Spain will never top Chanel, she would be a clear winner in a year without any major politcal event to influence the votes. I don’t think it makes sense to keep comparing every Spanish entry to her cause nobody will be better. That being said, with a slight revamp, Caliente will be in top 10

illia Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Got some tea on Vidbir - apparently since they couldn't find a safe venue like they did last year, the whole show (except for the results obvi) was prerecorded yesterday. I'm not sure if it was kind of like the "jury rehearsal" like it happens at ESC or they will actually use the prerecorded footage today. We'll see today I guess
Pendulum Posted February 3 Posted February 3 not y'all thinking Chanel was Spain's best??? Pastora Soler I'm so sorry
Fevesy Posted February 3 Posted February 3 The first minute or so of "Caliente" is visually stunning but the rest of performance is kinda boring.. and that dance break
UNNAMI Posted February 3 Posted February 3 St Pedro won't pull Marco Mengoni, because Spain is no Italy. If last year's Spain's Blanca flopped, St Pedro will as well. His song is cute but Spain unfortunately isn't backed by Europe like Italy just for being Italy. so today we will have ukraine - jerry norge - keiino? or gate will pull it through? malta - bananas spain - pedro

UK won jury but more televote votes from Ukraine (if let's say there would be no war) would go to Spain rather than Uk so Chanel would steal victory from Sam 2

UNNAMI Posted February 3 Posted February 3 this is top3 in malmo, potentially a winner, I hate another winner from Ukraine but can't lie, this is amazing

Nothing happening on stage, nothing on LED screens or with the lighting; they 2 alone don't have enough of stage presence to replicate the atmosphere of the song

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted February 3 ATRL Moderator Posted February 3 In Corpore Sano would have won the televote without the war
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted February 3 ATRL Moderator Posted February 3 Give Teresa & Maria a 1944-esque moment with the LEDs and that’s all that really needs to change
