Well if she had put a single ounce of effort into her performance then she might have actually won it. It was clear from the start she wasn't interested in the song, or going to esc and so basically threw the entire thing. It was awkward to watch her, tbh I thought it was a super disrespectful thing to do to the songwriters. Natalia didn't want to go to esc either and was vocal about it, but at least she appeared to be trying and have an interest. She was super great in 'Nadie Se Salva' but that song wasn't for Miki, although I think at the end i'd have preferred that over La Venda. Tbh if I were Spanish i'd have been spamming votes for Maria to try and make her win as punishment for her attitude, even if it weren't in Spains interest so much when coming to esc.
Yes it was very disrespectful towards the songwriters. I thought the best punishment is ignoring every project she undertakes from now on and being so forgotten by the audience that she regrets her attitude in the future and comes back begging for a second chance. This way we don't have to sacrifice -again- Spain's image in Eurovision.
