Spain SPAIN 2016 - Barei - Say Yay!

[Celia]

I don't want to get my hopes up she did great and hopefully we'll get a decent place would love to be the dark horse this year tho!

 

[blein]

i think spain must withdraw... again 22 position its a fucking joke

 

[Celia]

Our girl deserved better

 

[bastian]

Still shocked with the voting. Just wow.

 

[Lietuvis]

Still shocked with the voting. Just wow.

Same here. I thought Spain was going to be top5 for sure. Very cool song.

 

[ParadiseES]

What a trolling from the odds! And only 10 miserable points from the televoting? I expected to do better....

Anyway, we all know the guilties and that's not Barei, Edurne or anyone else. I hope this finally serves to change our heads of delegation.

BTW Thank you so much to Italy for 12 points and Moldova for 8

 

[0scar]

Reeally this should have ended up so much higher. :? At least 15th or something, 22 is really undeserved.

 

[cegs5]

It deserved a much better position, if only had a more colorful staging

 

[Musicosity]

I don't know what has happened. Barei was good, I was impressed.

 

[ParadiseES]

After we changed Portugal for Albania two years ago, we have new changes in geography.

 

[Nicfedy]

Didn't like it before but her performance lifted the song I really thought it was going to be a surprise winner.

 

[Lordemort]

It seems that every year Spain's song gets overhyped but ends up low Except for 2014

 

[cassio]

Spain Im in chock you should have been in top 10. I do not understand why you got so few points

Typically pointless, loud and fast Spanish entry. Why can't you do any better? How about something flamenco or folk-inspired, you have so many musicians who do that so well, why do you have to go for this "formula" year after year that never even gives a good result?

- Quite shocking to see how our beloved Albania is the country where we did worse at televoting.

- Actually, Balkan and Ex-Yugo countries is where we got the poorest results. It seems this was the year to hate each other cause we also ranked Croatia and Serbia in our bottom.

- We did much better than usually in the Nordic countries (especially Sweden and Norway).

- So sad to see our final result is much lower than most of our ranks, especially in televoting. We ranked between 7th and 23rd in all the countries and we finally got 24th place. Probably this new system caused us so much damage.

- UK.... They use Barei for their promo and to comment Semi 2 for BBC and their jury ranks us 21st? What kind of trolling this is???

 

[cegs5]

Thanks for the figures but Spain ended up 22nd not 24th.
Indeed, ot was quite close to get some more points with televoting, but I don't think it would have been so different with the previous system.

P.s. All my Finnish friends and FB contacts ranked it high...amd it got good reviews from the media, but only 15th in televoting in Finland

- UK.... They use Barei for their promo and to comment Semi 2 for BBC and their jury ranks us 21st? What kind of trolling this is???

Yes, but that promo did its job on the public. you got your highest televoting score from us by the looks of it. That promotion is to get public support, not the juries.

 

[cegs5]

Yes, but that promo did its job on the public. you got your highest televoting score from us by the looks of it. That promotion is to get public support, not the juries.

Plus the new Spanish diaspora in the UK did its job as well.

 

[GWTW1939]

I wonder how much money the Spaniards wasted to get Barei has high as 3rd in the betting after she performed

It actually convinced me that Spain could reach, not top 10, but a real respectable mid-table result. The horrible televote ended up shocking me
