Analysis

- Spain has done better in the jury voting, but surprisingly we didn't do really well in any of both voting while we got higher with the 50-50. I think new system favoured us this year because we were in the middle of the road in many countries and we got many low points from them when their televotings and juries didn't agree.

- The ranking is kinda predictable. Closer countries voting higher for us and also important role of our little diaspora (especially Switzerland). Surprise is Italy again voting us very low. I guess Italians don't see us as such close brothers as we see them...

- Worst results are again coming from some Nordic and Eastern countries. On the other hand, all Baltic countries which usually score Spain so low voted for us this year, with quite decen televoting results and really good jury results.

- The three juries who gave us the lowest scores are Portugal, Italy and Greece, all of them Mediterranean and close countries. Maybe they punished us for sending something not really representative of Spain and our culture.

Say what you want about Ruth and her song, but singing like that during a competition like this is extremely hard and requires a lot of effort. She deserved top 10, not for taking a risk on a ''different'' type of song but taking a risk as in: ''One bad note and this song will fail''.

This is for our friends in Albania

hahaha! when Albania doesn t pass semifinal always gives us 12 points, next year xDD

The worst of Austrian victory is that Maika (The voice I) won´t be a good choice for us next year because remids to Conchita, jooooooo

Ah, No sorry if I was unclear. I was agreeing with you. :3

How can Maika remind you to Conchita?

I have a feeling Ruth will be back to Eurovision in a few years time with a better song.

 

[Leydan]

I have a feeling Ruth will be back to Eurovision in a few years time with a better song. to get that 12 from the UK.

corrected for you

 

[Leydan]

Do you think TVE will use the same method next year for their semi final or expand it further like they have had it in previous years.

 

[Romeo]

I said this song would do better than people expected

She's already said she would like to come back one day

If they find someone popular enough with a career like Pastora and ESDM were, I think we will be back to the internal selection. If they don't find anyone willing to represent Spain we'll have another dramatic NF.

With all that crying? god help us all.

Well, we will have a show to pick the song anyway or, if we don't, we will have a special show to present the song and will bring the artist's whole family, childhood memories, their dead grandmother's jewels, etc..... DO NOT WORRY!!!!

BTW I guess Ruth doesn't have grandparents or much family in Spain, otherwise I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why we didn't have a live connection with some village in Murcia to talk to them, or old friends from the school, first boyfriend, etc....... YOU SUCK TVE!

Had the same train of thought while this was performing. When it was over it left me quite perplexed of how well she managed to pull it off.

It shut everyone viewing with me up. Even my dad who dislikes the competition said that she sang fantastically and she left me perplexed with the amount of passion she showed compared to her previous performances of the song which made her seem quite cold. Maybe I'm overly impressed because I'm a singer myself, but I respect that kind of commitment immensly. It takes years and years of practice and sometimes even that isn't enough.
