I don't really like that song either. It's not bad, but the lyrics are essential to fully appreciate it. If she wants to win, she has to make sure the meaning of the song is very obvious watching the performance, as people won't be searching the translation.What is it with everyone and Ay mama??? My first reaction was wtf is that?! I gave it another shot yesterday and I couldn't listen to the entire song! By far the worst for me!
I'd guess perhaps you already know these lyrics, but I'll translate some verses just in case (I'm too lazy to translate the full song now, maye later XD):
"Mama, mama, mama
let's paralise the city
by pulling out a breast with the purest Delacroix style"
"I don't know why our breasts are so terrifying.
Without them, there wouldn't be humanity nor beauty
and you know it well".
It's a homage to the mothers and in general to every woman.

I didn't check the lyrics but I got the sense that it's powerful. My Spanish is at a very good level but the song is so bad I didn't even try to listen carefully.
The melody, the way it is composed and performed, all that mamamamamamama, the chorus... pretty much everything makes me wanna drill a hole to my brain! I apologize to those who love it, but are you insane people? lol
And the fact that I understand Spanish made it even worse. The lyrics are beyond cringe.What is it with everyone and Ay mama??? My first reaction was wtf is that?! I gave it another shot yesterday and I couldn't listen to the entire song! By far the worst for me!

"Ay Mama" is part of the kind of songs that some fans praise because of the meaning and the cause involved.

Out of the songs I've listened to so far:
Terra has the strongest impact at first, but it becomes repetitive very quickly, so it requires an hypnotizing staging to prevent the audience from getting distracted.
Calle de la Llorería has, in my opinion, the biggest potential in terms of placing, but is being held back by a subpar production. Hopefully it will come truly alive in the live performance.
Ay Mama is simply not a competitive song IMO, not bad, but I cannot see it doing well in Turin. The same is true for Postureo, a good song whose biggest issue is simply sounding dated.
Secreto de Agua is simply unremarkable for me, after having heard it around 5 times I still cannot remember how it sounds.
Raffaella is pretty much perfect as it is, there is not a single thing I dislike about it, it's a throwback song without sounding dated. I'm only worried about the live performance.

Very solid NF imo, but the songs are very dependent on staging if they go to Turin (an area in which Spain has a very dodgy history), possibly some form of revamp as well (especially Secreto de Agua). Keeping in mind how past Spanish NFs played out, I have no idea on how the actual results will play out... I'm not sure that Tanxugueiras will do too well with the juries, so maybe Rayden is my bet for the victory as of now?
My own favourites are Ay mama, Voy a Morir and Terra, but out of those I think Terra is the most fitting, as I am somewhat doubtful of how the first two could be staged in ESC and if they'd manage to do well (not that it's all that matters, but still).

The song can improve if she pulls out a breast on stage
"Every breast you take, every move you make ..." (Sorry couldn't resist *ashamed, not ashamed*)The song can improve if she pulls out a breast on stage
I thought that Ay Mama was pretty decent, not really good but decent, she has a nice voice, well the song is going a bit everywhere xD
I like the mama mama mama part the most, overall I gave it a lil 7, means that if it goes to ESC it'll probably sit around my 30th place (except if it's a grower)

Yeah, that is really great..1. Galego
2. Euskara
3. Català
4. Asturiano
There are all languages from Spain. In fact, there was a period 40 years ago with Franco's dictatorship, when all these languages were forbidden. It would be so meaningful for Spain to sing this son on ESC 2022

Official video of Gonzalo's song is out
Such a beautiful song, it'll surely be underrated but I love it so much
I mean, that’s a nice song, but not for Eurovision.
I'm a little bit disappointed cause from the first songs that were released it seemed like a stronger NF, but ended up more like a decent one for me.
The songs that stood out the most when I listened to the songs were Calle de la llorería, Terra, Postureo & Secreto del agua. From these I believe the first three stand out mostly because they are kinda "obnoxious" (the loud vocals and the clapping, make them a bit noisy but not in a bad way imo). The last one is a very lovely song, though it depends a lot on how the live performance will be, cause it might end up as forgettable and get lost among the other performances.
I also liked Voy a Morir, though the vocals sound very electronic so I'm worried about how it will sound live and if it gets selected because it has a rock-ish sound it might get lost in the shuffle.
From the rest the ones that I liked the most were Slo Mo & Raffaela, though they are just nice for me. The rest are fine pop songs/ballands but they aren't anything special and I feel like I've heard them already many times, so I'm kinda tired of them.
My favourite is Terra, it's the only one that I can say I really like and then Calle de la llorería, Voy a Morir & Secreto del agua.

This is so cheesy, Mrm, like listening to the opening theme of a soap opera. Sorry.
And they will give gays and the rest of the audience everything they need.

I also feel the same. I heard that it carries an important message (I don't Speak Spanish so I don't really know), but even then, the song itself is bad... There are no vocals there and the music is boring. No hate obviously, but I also don't get what people see in this song.What is it with everyone and Ay mama??? My first reaction was wtf is that?! I gave it another shot yesterday and I couldn't listen to the entire song! By far the worst for me!
