Spain SPAIN 2023 - Blanca Paloma - Eaea

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[mauve]

Not so much my song, but it is quite a memorable performance!

 

[bstream]

These backing singers at the end looked just like random people from the audience picked at the last minute XD

Ran out of budget after using it all on that FANTASTIC staging.

Benidorm really wasn't living up to last year's hype until Karmento

 

[simori95]

I completely didn’t get the stage visual of Karmento, but I don’t mind much, it was fun. And who doesn’t like a good WTF moment?

 

[theCONWEL]

Karmento's song is not my kind of thing but it was very well performed. Best so far by a long way!

 

[Etanna]

I have a feeling the audience liked the song

 

[Leydan]

That was quite captivating actually, her movements and such. In studio I don't think I was super into it, but I think it's been the best so far tbh. Liked it.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Karmento is such an underdog, I really hope she can win the televoters over, she sounded amazing!

DJ said that he was won over by her folk song

Daniel Diges said that seeing her performance it was like being transformed to another time

Rakky Ripper definitely has that type of song to finish 22nd and then outlive every other song on TikTok

4. Rakky Ripper – "Tracción
tekno...not? nina hagen is back? - it's ok 2,5/10

 

[Looren]

I like Traccion but that wasn't a good live, she sounded out of breath from the beginning

 

[MooseShoes]

That was much better than I would have ever imagined! My nº2 so far.

 

[Biste]

 

[Leydan]

For a song with such a heavy beat on it, I found it all very underwhelming tbh.

 

[simori95]

Um yeah I will politely pass on the live, but in general the Song has potential

 

[mauve]

4. Rakky Ripper – "Tracción
tekno...not? nina hagen is back? - it's ok 2,5/10

OMG - we both had the same thought about Nina Hagen!

 

[theCONWEL]

Traccion is fun but it's just not the type of song that works for a televised performance like this unfortunately, she sounded very out of breath.

 

[MopManMoss]

Still nothing in Megara's league imo

 

[MooseShoes]

Next, Blanca Paloma and her song Eaea, a title which always reminds me of this random video my daughter showed me:

 

[Biste]

For a song with such a heavy beat on it, I found it all very underwhelming tbh.

Yes, the problem for me is her voice is quite weak. Not like she is out of tune all the time. But she is lacking power. Everything in this song needed to be louder. Louder vocals, louder beat, ... and then it would just totally slap everybody out of the venue with the bass.

 

[tantrix]

I'm not a sound engineer but the vocal mix sounds overly dry to me, making the artist sound even more out of breath? Could do with more chorus or reverb in the mix?
