I didn't see the full video but they were saying some pretty nasty stuff from what I heard. They said "slut" at one point, but I'm not sure if they were referring to Edurne or not

They were. They clearly call her "prostituta" because of the second dress she wears. How classy.

It wasn't bad to be honest, but that part when the dancer just jumps behind Edurne is hilarious instead of being dramatic xrofl2

However, this leak judging from the surroundings of the TV screen seems rather crazy. Nobody saw them filming it :?

It wouldn't be too difficult to find out who filmed this because the video shows exactly where they are.

Yeah, but this isn't meant to be shown (I hope) :lol:

I just watched that sneaky full rehearsal video and I still believe this is a possible winner. That choreography is brilliant and unexpected. She really commands the stage well, and the song is still one of the very few pieces competing this year that sounds like a winner. I'm impressed.

Not gonna comment those "classy" comments we can hear on the video, but I really hope EBU kicks these so called journalists out of the press area. They have broken the rules and they might be damaging Edurne. This attitude shows no respect for the contest.

How could we do that? I guess we need to know who recorded and posted it, otherwise reporting this link wouldn't help so much. I'm willing to report these troglodytes, who do they think they are?!

same here.
the fact that its Spain, make chances of winning less, but still its very great
and I dont understand why people say that she sings bad, if on this video almost like in studio :?

Well, the song is dramatic itself, so it needs a dramatic staging and performance to be coherent.

No. It doesn't. The song should rather speak for itself. I just think some of the movements of Edurne looks overdramatic and a bit silly. But that is just my preference.

It obviously does. If a song is sweet, the performance must show that sweetness; if it's romantic, it has to show romanticism; if it's dramatic, it has to show drama. Otherwise, if song and staging don't work in the same way, the song and its message get lost.

Anyway, I don't think it's THAT over dramatic. Over dramatic were performances like Poland 2010, or maybe Russia 2009, for example. I think the tolerance of supposed drama gets so much lower beyond the Pyrenees :lol:

From this video it's quite easy to know the location where they were filming. Even some of the people who are working close to these guys appear as well. I assume every media has a permanent place to work at that room (not sure, but this is how usually works in these kind of events). Anyway, there must be security cams recording everything everywhere and I'm totally sure many people saw them. It's not too difficult for EBU.

I am not saying Edurne should not move. Or that she should just sing with no facial expressions. Pastora did a wonderful job with a rather bland song. She was vocally perfect. And the performance showed the emotions of the song. But she did so without needing anyone to rip off her dress.
Of course there should be coherence between the song and the performance. But it all comes down to personal taste. Again. I would have preferred her performance a bit downscaled. While you do not. Of course there has been MUCH examples in the esc history. And i think Spain will do well. I top 10 may be within reach.

I usually don't watch the rehearsals so i won't make any comments but i can't understand why would one not want a dramatic stage for such a dramatic song :lol: From the pictures, it looks perfectly right to me.

It just means Spanish fans really love ESC. If we take a look at Spanish televoting result we haven't been inside the top 10 since 2004. I don't think this year will happen either, although we deserve it imo

Who knows you see how many likes it has, ESC always prepares some surprises after rehearsal..and I don't see Spanish under the video commenting but foreigners, who are praising the entry and telling it will win! :eek: :)

NO. You deserve to win only or atleast to be second after Slovenia.
