Re: SPAIN 2018
Tonight we will know who will join Amaia, Alfred, Aitana and Miriam in the Eurovision final. BTW it's confirmed that there will be duets (pretends to be shocked), which I don't like, cause I think Amaia should go alone in case she has the proper song, she doesn't need Alfred at all, I think it's a bad idea, but anyway.... It seems TVE wants that couple and we will have to swallow... again.
First of all, I would like to clarify things for those who are not following OT:
- The contestants will receive the songs tomorrow 15:00 CET. I don't think the songs will be uploaded and, in that case, they will be just demos.
- Then, they are supposed to meet the composers to know the songs better and they will fix the tones.
- So, what we will know tomorrow it's a tiny approximations to the songs, since it's gonna be the first time they hear the songs. Then, rehearsals, classes, rehearsals and more rehearsals. The first time we are supposed to see "something" is in the first "pase de micros" (the first serious rehearsal), which is usually on Thursday 18:00 CET. There is also a second one on Saturday afternoon. Since the songs are new for everyone, there will be a lot to fix during these days, so even the general rehearsals will lack a lot of things (I presume).
-So, the first time we will see everything: full song with staging, performance,...etc will be in the show itself (January 29th 22:30 CET). I also think that even in the final we will not be able to see the songs in their full potential and I'm also sure that the winning song will get a major revamp later.
- So, be patient. The songs and the performance will not be perfect, because one week is not enough to learn a song properly, but until May there is enough time and everything will improve
We just have to wait and hope for a good song (for a change. I expect something passionate and romantic for Amaia & Alfred and I have the feeling that it's what we will see in Lisbon.
