Does anyone know names of 2 m. backing dancers of miki? Asking for a friend of a friend of mine. (lol).

Not sure if you're only asking about the ones that appear first, so here's the three of them: Mikel Hennet, Ernesto Santos, Fran Guerrero ;)

Yup, I made up my mind. This is my winner. xlove

Btw, now that the full performance with the TV camera shots is uploaded, does anybody know what's the point of the camera Miki's holding at the "lo que ere" part? From the rehearsal videos we had all these days, I thought we would see the camera's POV on TV, but nothing. So why is holding it? It looks kinda stupid.

I learnt to like La Venda and it's among my favs this year. Miki is charming and charismatic, I'm just a bit underwhelmed by the staging. Miki looks too controlled, the concept is kinda confusing, it was meant to explain the meaning of the song but instead it looks like a conflict between housemates or kinda American sitcom openning intro. Not sure what's the point of the huge puppet or whatever it is, absolutely meaningless... and wtf with the camera Miki holds at the climax of the song? It's pointless if we can't see what he is recording or why he is doing that.

All in all, Miki saves it with his energy and he's vocally on point, but a song like this could be uplifted by a much better staging.

In the preview shown in the semi the first part sounded as energetic and catchy as I expected (it still reminds me of D'Nash), but the bit they abruptly cut off at the end did sound weaker.

During the mini interview during the first semi final, Miki seemed a little annoyed when the presenter would only talk about the shirtless picture of him :lol: . He's there trying to talk about the meaning of the song and the presenter is just like "Yeah but SHIRTLESS MIKI"

The guy is hot as hell, that's for sure. But let him talk about his song!

That was very sexist and I wonder how the reaction would have been if it was a female singer trying to explain her song but the host only care about her boobs. Not cool.
Plus, that host is a bit TTH with his gayness... who cares when he came out or the nationality of his husband, absolutely self-centred and out of topic.

You could tell he wasn't best pleased by it throughout the interview. He even said it was embarrassing. I suppose it was just meant to be a bit of humour, but I get why he is annoyed.

Closing the competition, it was kind of predictable but after seeing the staging, not sure if it will play on his favour. Hoping for a more explosive performance, because coming after Switzerland and Australia there's a risk to be outperformed.

The staging and props in the song are bizarre and take the fun away from the song. Just have Miki with a happy band like before and that is better. Miki is such a gorgeous man and in this performance he looks a bit out of his comfort zone.

I will throw my support behind Spain (and France) in the Grand Final.

Miki is super cute and very likeable. The staging is not the best, but it's good enough to match the theme and atmosphere of the song. Miki will perform the heck out of it and sell it with conviction. This will be a top 10 for me.

I love La venda but the staging is over the top. The whole thing looks childish and messy, not colorful and dynamic.

Still, good luck Miki xcheer

Once again, staying much behind than people expected at first. It won't be top 10, there's a lot going on, and much better and memorable. It's a shame because in spite of not being a song I love, Spain deserved better. A better broadcaster to start with (reminds me of Portugal :lol:)

I really thought this was the song that could break the curse on Spain.

I am really sad this did not end higher. Miki was really charismatic and could make everybody's bad mood disappear with that song. Definitely better than most other songs.

This year Spain had potential to place higher, but unfortunately that staging killed the chances ... it just took away all the energy from Miki, a cheaper staging like in their NF would have had more impact, really sad for Miki, he deserved better.

They overstaged it xshrug

The one song from Spain that didn't need a fancy staging got one. Running order hurt him as well. Deserved better for sure, well next year perhaps ^^
