Re: SPAIN 2014
We haven't heard of her in a while
not sure that's a good idea.
I found this fan video with candidates
I don't like any of them (well, Roko I do, and maybe Paula Rojo but I don't know really...)
01- NATALIA
I kinda like her, but her songs are a bit cheap (trying to imitate Britney's sort of cheapness) and I'm not sure if she's good live. Of course, not for a ballad like the second song shown on the video.
02- PAULA ROJO
As I said before, she's young, fresh and one of the new hits in the Spanish scene. Her songs are quality and so cheerful. Interesting soft pop with country-celt elements.
03- PABLO ALBORÁN
I don't like him. I think he's so overrated, but I reckon something like him would be good for Eurovision. The problem is that we would get zero after zero from every country above of the Alps. If he went, I'd tell him not to try to turn everything he's singing into flamenco, it's quite annoying. And BTW I don't think we would reject ESC, we shall see.
04- MELENDI
I like him, especially now that he's more rocky, but he's not suitable at all for ESC. His best things are the lyrics (nobody will understand them) and his voice is quite weak.
05- ROKO
She would be perfect. Young, fresh, modern,.... And this would help her to get a career (I can't understand why this girl doesn't have it yet). She's so professional and hard-worker, also so versatile, she could sing almost every style.
06- AURYN
I said previously they would be a good choice, despite I'm not really into boy-bands. Their last songs are amazing, a wonderful production and although 99% of their fans are teenagers, they are more in the group of The Wanted, rather than disgusting One Direction. I think you got it, right?
I'm not sure about how they would sound live.... They didn't sound very good in our NF 2011 and it seems it's kinda one real singer and four backing vocalists...
07- ABRAHAM MATEO
hahaha really??? I reckon that
Sexy señorita song is extremely catchy and toxic, but for ESC???? well, maybe something like that would do quite well with the televoting.... not my choice though.
08- ANDY & LUCAS
Seriously???
Andy & Lucas make music for suburbial teenagers (as I was with 16 years old). ESC is not suburbial nor for teenagers. Nothing more to add.
09- EFECTO PASILLO
Not my cup of tea. Their songs are quite happy and cheerful, but maybe a bit bland?
10- SORAYA ARNELAS
She deserves another chance in the ESC after being robbed in 2009. Now with some dance song in her style. However, she does too electronic stuff right now. She has an amazing voice and would do well with some commercial dance song, not with the electro-weird stuff she's doing at the moment.
11- MALÚ
She would be amazing. Strong voice and almost all of her songs are so touching and amazing. IMO she would be much better choice than Pablo Alborán. But again, northern countries ignore EVERYTHING that sounds a bit mediterranean...
12- BEATRIZ LUENGO
I'm pretty indifferent to her. Dont you find her a bit boring?
