WELL i was almost looking forward to muerdeme's seemingly inevitable victory because a) i wanted to see the most miserable person in the world in the eurovision experience because imagine how maria's interviews in tel aviv would be, and b) the craycray spanish eurofans would die as muerdeme placed bottom 3 in the final and i am always always down to see the insane spanish eurofans dying because it'swhatshedeserves.gif.
instead, that was exchanged for a bit of the insane spanish eurofans dying right now (a MAN being picked in a SPANISH NF!!!! and it wasn't even rigged this time!!!!!!!!!! delicious) and a much better song than muerdeme from a much more cooperative performer. if brazil was in eurovision somehow we would 100% give la venda our televote 12 because not since quero ser tua we have had such a brazilian-sounding entry. i actually grew to like it now!!!! i gave it 8 points in the poll, 8 more than i expected to give to spain this year.
howeverrrr that performance as it currently stands would be nul pointed by the eurovision juries faster than you can say "manel's bum note outsold", and tve being the devilish hellchannel that it is, i don't see it changing much. it's too bad because a good channel could make this work for a top 15ish placement. still, it's good that spain didn't turn out to be that much of a disaster in the end.
at least bjorkman already has his grand final opener for the running order instead of fucking over a semifinal favourite lol.
her lips were saying "muerdeme" but her eyes were saying "murder me"
hi guys i'm from the uk
Now i have to wait and see the show to find my definite winner.
so yeah.. Famous couldn't do it, and now i'd say it's a tie between those two:
3
___
Miki is okay, i never saw him as a winner though.. 6 points
i should be grateful that we have avoided some spanish ballad sang partially or entirely by a female because you suck at those
(only pastora was good)on the other hand, i'm still waiting for something like:

It does nothing for me. It feels so empty. I would be surprised if it does well.
Same here. But this year'selection of Spain wasn't made for me at all. I had no WOW-effect with any of these songs. I really like Miki as a person, he seem genuine and nice, but the song itself has zero potential for me. And if they don't work on the staging and the performance, I can see this song flop easily.

I wanted to describe this song as Satan takes song writing lessons and sends a young boy to Eurovision so badly, but after watching that performance, Miki's lil' legs working it up and down the stage... I just can't be scornful. How could I? Just look at him. Those three minutes display so much vigor, so much happiness. It made me smile. The song is absolutely not for me, but somehow it's been packaged in a way that I find tolerable.
This will either work at Eurovision really well or it will flop hard. It's hard to say. It will depend on how this year shapes itself out. Whether La Venda will be allowed to stand out or if it will be swimming within a sea of other uptempo songs. I don't know what to give it in the poll as well. I guess 5 points sounds a bit generous but fair. I don't like the song. It's not my thing (the opposite of my thing in fact) but I appreciate it's energy and the happy party mood it sets out to bring people (I think it does it really successfully). I'm not the kind of person that wants everything at ESC to please me personally. Eurovision needs variety, so I'm cool with this.

You put it perfectly once again, especially the description: "Those three minutes display so much vigor, so much happiness." You could tell that Miki really had fun singing and performing this song. But as you said: could be hit or flop at ESC.

The performance was the best part of it. It was so much fun to watch. I like how Miki gave it 110% of himself. I've got a feeling the juries might end up having a problem with him but the public will probably find him endearing. Nice surprise though that I don't personally hate it (I usually do these kinds of songs). I don't think I'll listen to the song much though from now to May, but it will be fun to see it at Eurovision, providing that they don't change too much about it.

I know for a fact that my group of casual ESC watchers will lap this up like crazy! So long as the staging is done right and they can fill the stage and get the crowd involves too (and not in the contrived choreographed way that Madame Monsieur did last year)

I would agree that crowd interaction will be a essential need to produce a good performance on the ESC stage with this type of song.
This is in a similar category and could boast as a great example to follow especially the fact Ai se eu te pego was a major hit solely focused on crowd interaction

WOW. Quite a girs' magnet.
But I like this song much more than Miki's actually. Would have voted for that instantly! Franzilein

What an annoying song, holy moly. Third time in a row I feel nothing but dissapointment from the Spanish entries. At least transpose the song a few intervals down, my ears can't take it at all x_x

Wow, it's the first time I actually really like a entry! And it's the first time that my favourite actually won!
Miki has such a strong performance and such stage presence! can do very well this year! Normally I really don't like that pop songs that always sound the same but "La Venda" is actually decent and really entertaining. 12 points for now, it's a very positive song and I'm very happy right now!

I'm probably not in the mood for songs like this one, I didn't enjoy his performance.

It's not going to win but it's a fun bop and he's got great charisma. Definitely a high for Spain in recent years. Hopefully it doesn't become too subject to the annual Spanish fanwank though :?

I think the song is fun and brought with much energy, but that is it for me. I don't like it, it reminds me of myself after 8 beer in the pub..
