So, I will be in Spain for Eurovision. Not in Malaga, and not in Toledo. Are there any big parties around the country?

How is a song 'predictable'? Or maybe better, how is a song unpredictable?
It's predictable in the sense that it's easy to see what's coming next in the song. Everything makes sense, like "ofc the bridge sounds like that", nothing surprises.

roh come on, I already like UK and France this year, I can't like all Big 5, and as for UK, I don't remember the last time I liked a spanish entry. This is good pop , even if I don't understand why she has to sing naked but that's another story... I don't know yet if it will be part of my Top5 as I didn't listen to all songs, but Top10 for sure.

What do you mean by 'why she has to sing it naked'?

Performance @ London Eurovision Party
This is how you do it! She sounded amazing here despite a few minor hiccups here and there, but it's understandable due to how intense her routine is. It's fully 'live' with very minimal back-up. Love it!

I also prefer her complete outfit of the national final (especially the black one of the semifinal, as I feel it truly matches the bolero and it goes really well with her hair colour and complexion). It is a little underwhelming to see her performing with short dresses or almost swimming suits such as in the videos above because the bolero doesn't go that well with the shortness of those outfits and it's just more common (short outfits are usually the kind of outfits that women who sing this kind of songs wear, so the beautiful complete outfit makes her stand out). Also, the choreography is so complex that a short outfit can be harder to control and that can have an impact on the flow of the performance. For example, in Barcelona party there were two clear moments where she was adjusting the bottom part of the outfit (at 1:32 and 2:04):
Complete outfit all the way!

ok I should have said half-naked. I never understood why some women think they have to be half-naked to be a good singer or a good beach volley player or to play american football and so on and so on. I will start to understand it the day that men will have to wear string in all music video clips and in all sports to have a little success.
For me, Spain are serving Spain for the first time in a long time. A lot of the songs they’ve been sending were just not that good. The exception to this is 2015 and 2019 however - LOVED those entries.

I am sincere. Among many of you I am certainly the one who has a less deep passion for the Eurovision Song Contest. That is, I love it, I like it but when I compare my feelings with yours I realize my shortcomings. I miss the assiduity in commenting, the desire to open new discussions and games, the almost blind faith in one's musical tastes and also the desire to suffer in order to defend them. The same happens with all Pre Parties... I have never followed them. For me the Eurovision Song Contest are the days of the main event or the only day of the final. This morning I decided, as I did for the Barcelona Pre Party, to watch the London Pre Party YT videos. I had much higher expectations... I imagined that the UK, home of concerts, would surprise me but this didn't happen. The club atmosphere was more intriguing but the stage and audio were less performing than the Spanish ones. The space was smaller and the audio showed no clear improvement (at least in Barcelona there was the excuse of a larger and more dispersed environment than in London). After this preface I will talk about Chanel and "SloMo":
Let me start by saying that I emphasize once again that Chanel and "SloMo" need a bigger stage and adequate set design and lighting. Without them the show suffers and the song shows its weaknesses. However, compared to the Barcelona Pre Party, I really liked how the dance troupe moved in a more organized and less confusing way. There was little space and the dancers were able to exploit it very well. Chanel, on the other hand, was more casual and diva than the last time. I conclude by saying that the real weapon of the Spanish Eurovision entry is the hypnotic charm of Chanel and her dancers.

Oh my God! How much love and romance! Will Chorizo and Jonkonfui get married?Austria winning would make me happy too. Finally the Spanish thread has become a place of harmony and unity again.
I haven't felt so excited since watching the Argentine soap opera "Floricienta!

I don’t mind woman going all sexy on ESC, but being a straight woman those sexy dances and short clothes do nothing for me, at least they don’t increase the chances of me voting for them. I guess that’s why songs like SloMo do rarely win, coming second at best, with the exception of Greece 2005 (which was, despite the sexyness and booty shaking, an awesome performance! The guys showing the "1" was a clever trick! And to be honest, 2005 was weak year anyway.)
I think it’s a bit problematic to sexualize the performance since it’s a family show. But I have to admit there would be something missing if we didn’t get the annual half naked girls dancing to a bop! That’s Eurovision!
