[escYOUnited]

Llegó la mami
La reina, la dura, una Bugatti
El mundo está loco con este party
Si tengo un problema, no es monetary
Yo vuelvo loquito’ a todos los daddies
Yo siempre primera, nunca secondary
Apenas hago doom, doom
Con mi boom, boom
Y le tengo dando zoom, zoom
Por Miami

Y no se confundan
Señora’ y señore’
Yo siempre ‘toy ready
Pa’ romper cadera’, romper corazones
Solo existe una
No hay imitaciones (Na, na)
Y si aún no me crees, pues me toca mostrárselo

Take a video
Watch it slo mo, mo, mo, mo, mo
Booty hypnotic
Make you want more, more, morе, more, more
Voy a bajarlo hasta el suеlo, lo, lo, lo, lo (Yeah)
If you wish, you could do this dembow (Do this dembow)
Drives you loco (Yeah)
Take a video, watch it slo mo

Te gusta todo lo que tengo
Te endulzo la cara en jugo de mango
Se te dispara cuando la prendo
Hasta el final, yo no me detengo
Take a sip of my cola-la
Un poco salvaje na-na-na
Make it go like pa-pa-pa-pa
Like pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Y no se confundan (Y no se confundan)
Señora’ y señore’
Yo siempre ‘toy ready (Yo siempre estoy ready)
Pa’ romper cadera’, romper corazone’
Solo existe una (Solo existe una)
No hay imitaciones (Na, na, na)
Y si aún no me crees, pues me toca mostrárselo (Oye)

Am I the only one that loves Gonzalo's song?

Nope, he's my fave of the NF

 

[Ausesken]

I'd rather feminism not judging absolutely everything and pointing out everyone because things are not like they think they should be. Sometimes I feel more pressured by other females telling me what I should be/do to fight 'patriarchy', and if I don't do it, I'm a misogynist myself. Why on earth they feel entitled to judge everybody and being so paternalistic towards others is beyond me.

That said, I do like Ay mamá's message, but Benidorm Fest is not a politic contest. Musically speaking there are songs way better than that.

 

[Mrm]

Apart from it, I should tell you that my favorite here is Chanel! She is the real proof that is possible to elevate an average song for a very good final product.

You didn't read my last comment!!!

She is a good performer, but we have seen such performers so many times.

Last year the Cypriot girl had an amazing openly sexual dancing performance and far far far better song, was one of favourites, and then got average jury votes, but flopped heavily with the public vote.

IMO this type of performers are not welcomed any more by European public vote.

Chanel seemingly fitting great with past ESC concepts of female bop performers doesn't mean that that specific concept is still popular and guarantees success.

And that those Gallegas are interesting as much as KUD Bećarac. Being a Croatian you'll understand.

I love Gonzalo too hello

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

I love Gonzalo too hello

Because he reminds you of somebody e.g. him...

Finally caught up on Benidorm and overall it's a good NF, probably best one so far.

Top 4

1. Chanel - "SloMo" - Ready for Eurovision. If pre-recorded vocals are allowed, why not take full advantage of them?
2. Rigoberta - "Ay mamá" - The song is good, but they should think of different ways to present the message visually imo
3. Tanxugueiras - "Terra" - tragic staging is giving North Macedonia
4. Rayden - "Calle de la llorería" - My pre-show favourite. Not impressed by the live version

I wouldn't compare Chanel to Elena because there are a lot of different circumstances at play here.

Elena did good but she wasn't able to outperform Eleni. Also the whole package came off as very inauthentic. She lost a lot of support after the Head & Shoulders commercial and the copied music video. People were also accusing the song of being to similar to Bad Romance/Alejandro, that also hurt her chances.
And opening the show was also a big reason that she just got lost in the mix. That's bound to happen to the opening number, it gets overshadowed very easily and there was no huge "wow" moment to counter that really.

Chanel on the other hand is a stronger performer, hands down. That dance break is a huge wow-moment that will be remembered. The comparisons to Eleni won't hurt her as a result.
There are (as of now) no thievery accusations, cringy product placements or other scandals arround her. The song being partly in spanish and her overall confidence and stage presence just make it more authentic than "El Diablo". You have more of an identity here.

... I must sound like the biggest Chanel fanboy but I'm actually not :'D But I think she has good chances for Eurovision and that it just were different reasons that Cyprus didn't live up to the expectations.

 

[chiqui]

Yeah, Chanel has become 's trap. She sold the hell out of the song and I sort of became a fan, but she can hope for an El Diablo/Replay's result at the very best.
But will bite? It is dangerously close now.

Chanel can' t be compared with Tamta or Elena Tsagrinou. She is a stage animal.

 

[kamc]

I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe because I loved the staging for Ay Mama
Sure it can be tidied up and I admit I’m not sure about the tit globe, but I love the rather “amateur” choreography. It just totally works for the song and makes it so endearing and charming…like you want to just join them on stage
And as if we are not going to be linking arms and doing that fierce side walk choreo to the first “Mamamamama-ahh” in the euroclub in Turin

 

[Ezio]

Chanel is way superior to Eleni, Elena, Tamta, Luca Hänni…. Spain invented Fuego pop and when they bring it they BRING it

Optimism a good thing haha.

It's OK to fan about your fav, no intro needed.

I didn't say that Chanel as a performer was worse than Elena or Eleni (God they are all Helenas haha), not an issue there. I said that the problem is that she is not DIFFERENT from them.

Also, her song is in objective terms of poorer quality than the above mentioned, melodically and lirically likewise.

Vocally as well she doesn't exist, literally. Her actual voice disappers within the autotuned recorded vocal. Albina syndrome.

As vocal component is one of 4 mandatory assessment elements for professional juries, she would score very low on that mark with juries.

 

[kamc]

There’s no doubt Chanel is a firecracker of a performer, but I’d prefer to see her come back next year with a killer song to boot.
SloMo is just a total non-event. I mean Fuego might have been basic as a song but at least it was catchy.

Omg I never thought about it but he really looks like Vrsaljko lmao
BUT no, he has a beautiful song tho

 

[ag89]

I liked Chanel already when the songs came out, but thought "Ok, this is very catchy tune, but we have heard it so many times before". But... Man, she really killed with the staging, it is literally good to go, I wouldn't change a single thing. She is like a pocket fire.
On the other hand, her singing needs a serious work, let's be clear. But we will see, Spain is known for its dramatic national finals, I wouldn't be surprised if they select something random.
Anyway, SloMo is not a bottom 5 material, this may do fine in ESC.

 

[Luki]

If you are not insulting all people here due to your prejudice that most people here criticize female performers because they are

A) openly mysogininsts
B) unaware of their mysoginy

Then you should maybe consider the option that you assuming that

1. Most people in ESC community and on this forum are gay men
2. expressing negative opinion on a performance of a female artist means they are mysoginst...

Perhaps actually show that you yourself have biased opinions on ESC community, and...

Discriminatory prejudices towards gay men...

You should really get aware of.

Of course, speaking in general here, don't take it personally hhaahhahqh.

And as a straight feminist in human rights sphere, I will now say that Miss Rigoberta was an embarassment to femisim yesterday with that cringe monstruous supranatural boob and so past tense with a move Madonna made first 35 years ago.

And that Chanel a woman showing of her thongs for public does not represent me nor feminism.

And that those Gallegas are interesting as much as KUD Bećarac. Being a Croatian you'll understand.

Yeah, I'm a mysoginist, beat me. Hahahah

A) openly mysogininsts
B) unaware of their mysoginy

My point exactly. Thank you, good night.
You are NOT a feminist based on what you posted.
Feminism is not up for a male interpretation. Period.

 

[jatojo]

Rigoberta is simply not a strong enough vocalist, so now I'm even more certain about 'Terra' as the winner, although they too can improve their live performance.

 

[tsegaye]

They only thing I hope they change with Chanel's performance is the shots of the slowmotion effect. The first one is almost not visible due to the camera starting so far away and panning towards the stage. The second one is almost perfect, I think it could be even more impactful but I don't exactly know how though.

Next time if you want your point to come across don't start a argument by pointing the finger at "the gays" assuming we're just all the same and then proceeding to accuse us of something this heavy. (Especially this condecending with being either A or B).

By the way: Radical feminists/TERFs started the stigma of the "misogynistic gays" because "they" (trans women) "appropriated" womanhood in their eyes and "made a mockery of it", leading to them saying "there is so much misogyny in the gay community". And enough people now picked it up. Nice of you to spread transphobic whistleblows.

I'm not denying that there is misogyny in the gay community but to paint it as if it is so much more noteworthy than in other spaces/communities is really just suspicious Straight men have still much more potential to be misogynistic and have actual power to make that count than gays but we are directly accussed more often and put in this "gays are all problematic" - box... for not being impressed by a performance? You should see how we talk about gay men doing mediocre drag if you really think we just talk like this because we hate women or something. It's more about not living up to the potential rather than bigotry.

But I get it, we faggots are a easy target at the moment because there is a lot of hate/annoyance/stigma against us already. Gotta punch down.

Feminism is not up for a male interpretation. Period.

That's the truth tho.

And my other truth is: Tanxugueiras have to go to Eurovision
