I still can't believe that Spain refused Emily Ratajkowski's twin sister to participate.

Feel completely distraught..

+1 million views on Youtube in less than 14h :lol: they won't go to Eurovision but they will have (international) success, which is probably better for them. Anyway we'll never know if this would have done well in Europe, it could have been a total flop too.

Didn't Francesco reach 100M last year? Yet again, he's still a nobody outside Italy. Also, most of the viewers are from Spain itself, the comment box is full of Spanish people and their fake accounts (as usual) xshrug

Lo Malo would have looked amazing on that stage. Spain, I deeply hope for a BOTTOM 5 as punishment for travesty you made.

Yeah, well, it depends a lot on what kind of music they release from now on and the influence of their label, but as far as I know Aitana was going to promote herself in Latin America, which is something. Many people there watched OT.

Just saw the rehearsal clip: This is so back to the seventies. Singing, staging, clothing, lyrics, just everything. Haven't seen somthing so dated in some time.

Maybe they're time travellers :D I have been watching very interesting German serial recently called ''Dark'' with this theme ;)

After the rehearsals, I'm confident this is not going to place well by any means. My crystal ball tells me it's gonna be a bottom 5. Trust me, I'm a seer.

Agree. Spain tends to confuse minimalism with simplicity when it comes to staging, and also you could see they were not comfortable on stage.

Yeah. And it's a pity because, although I didn't like the song at all and also didn't like Alfred and Amaia, I truly believed this had an appeal to some people. It can be cheesy, but there's people out there that love cheese, right? We could have placed quite well, given that we're automatic qualifiers and don't need to go through the semi finals (where, by the way, I believe we would not qualify). But with this staging... it's the same every year, TVE saying that they're making and effort blah blah blah.... I bet they've come up with this staging in 2 hours. There's barely a staging there!

Now I'm so happy that I didn't like the song before, because if I did, this would have been such a disappointment. With Spain, it is either excess like with Edurne, or nothing, like this one. I hope we will learn someday.

This is really kitchy :D Are they an actual couple now?

Most likely, no. I've seen many interviews from them and their chemistry is absolutely non existent. How people are falling for this fakeness is a mystery to me...

Yep, they actually are. They fell in love in a music reality show where they were filmed almost 24 hours a day.
