Wooo Spain! I love all 4 songs, but my fave is "Tu vida es tu vida". "Quedate Conmigo" will be also amazing. And Spanish is the most beautiful language xheart

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

I'm surprised so many of you like so much "Tu vida es tu vida", while most Spanish fans bashed it so badly :lol:

I love that song, but the new version...... Why they put "beat-beat" all the time if it's a slow mid-tempo song??? But I love the guitars. I wish they put those guitars to "Quédate conmigo" :)

I don't think Quédate Conmigo needs anything else - it's just very well composed and made, simple, yet good; meanwhile Tu Vida Es Tu Vida has some cool vibe because of the guitar, if there wasn't it, the song wouldn't sound so nice. ^

But if just they add a little bit of guitar at some point, then we'd have the Spanish vibe on it.

@Juki She will sing in Spanish :)

Definitely I prefer "Quédate conmigo". Maybe it's not the song I'd listen at home, but it's far more impressive live.

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

Yes, that definitely stands, and now I gotta agree. :lol: Yeah, it would be cool to have the guitar in.
I dislike the fact Quédate Conmigo has the love lyrics, e.g. I Love You Mí Vida (which was my fave that year xheart) had pure epicness with the lyrics, just like "love yourself and your life", Quédate Conmigo is just... depressive. :lol:

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

Ok I had Quedate Conmigo on repeat for a while. Send this Spain! :D

Since we talk about Pastora Soler I don't really care about the studio versions. Quedate Conmigo might seem plain to some people but if you see her performing it live you'll be like --> :eek:
Pastora is one of the best performers I've ever seen and I don't mean (only) vocally! Her live performances are so magnetizing!

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

Quedate Conmigo was the only one that kept my interest throughout without me cringing or moving on to a new song. I suspect that will have the most presence when performed live, and despite all the Swedish songwriter bashers around (there seem to be more and more nowadays), I strongly feel that this would be the only sensible choice for Spain. Plus it's been a long time since we've heard a really good ballad from them!

My main concern is that Pastora's voice, while competent, isn't the most interesting, and if another massive ballad comes along with a female vocalist who has more charisma and "kapow" in her voice, I fear that Spain will get lost in the sea of okay entries who fight it out for the bottom positions on the leader board, because everybody forgets to vote for them!

Wow! Are we talking about the same Pastora here?

What a bunch of bland and uninteresting songs. Sorry but Pastora and RTVE should consider going back to the drawing board.

Yes, for me her voice isn't as engaging as so many other Spanish artists that I've heard in the past. I'm sure a good live performance might change my mind, but the studio versions don't blow me away vocally.

Who cares if it's depressing? She'll put more emotion to it which is really positive. She will impress us with her vocal/emotional performance and not with just-another-gimmick (see Eric Saade :p)!

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

After listening to all the songs I'd be really impressed if we don't send Quédate conmigo to Eurovisión. It would be our best election since 1995.

Re: SPAIN 2012 - Pastora Soler

Nice songs, but I'm going against the grain here by saying that my favorites are Me despido de ti and Tu vida es mi vida (to a lesser extent). Quedate conmigo pretty good too, it's very emotional and reminds me of Vuelve conmigo. It would be funny if Albania and Spain (with Quedate conmigo) were to perform one after another. We would have a scream-a-thon :lol:
