Spain SPAIN 2023 - Blanca Paloma - Eaea

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[lasse braun]

the surprise of the evening!
music & passion at his best.

 

[MS.]

Actually my 4 favorites tonight made it.
But Blanca really slayed them all with these vocals.

 

[MooseShoes]

Well, I'm happy with 7 of the 8 finalists. No idea how José Otero made it. I would have had Siderland instead. Oh well, at least he kept Alfred out.

Goodnight everyone see you all for Eurosong later

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Jose Otero just said to the radio's on-site reporter that him and his team want to make staging changes, like the lighting for the final

Blanca Paloma said that the support is crazy and that her grandmother is more alive than ever

Karmento says it's incredible and she's speechless

 

[ayzelto]

I just hope we send Blanca instead of Agoney’s trash.

 

[MS.]

Blanca having by far the best vocals tonight shows in my opinion that overall the level this year is a bit below of the level of last year.
So many artists had so bad vocals many of them were really trying too hard to dance and sing while they are not good at it.
Not everybody is Chanel

If only the staging had been his problem

It's going to be an awkward day in May when Blanca comes 14th and some fans will scratch their heads why their masterpiece didn't win.

 

[MooseShoes]

I really don´t get it - they just stick to that voting procedure because Chanel was so freaking successful at Eurovision.. but seriously, I hate fixed scoring for televoting.. either the juries have to award points based on fixed scoring as well or just scrap it..

I understand the complaints but the opposite can give so much weight to an undeserving entry with a big fanbase. Last year I really liked Terra when it first came out, but you have to admit it was a mess on stage. With weighted televote, and all of Galicia behind them, they would have done a Bilal Hassani, gone to Turin and finished in 25th between and . Also, TVE haven't forgotten how the Spanish televote gave them Baila el Chiqui Chiqui in 2008.

I will admit, though, that I'm merely detailing all these arguments and defending this system because it's given me 7 qualifiers I wanted!

 

[goncalovieira]

Jesus. This semifinal was wayyyy better than the first.
Guys. There is no choice. Choose Paloma, please. That is probably jury winning material

Aka Spain since the 70s

 

[EscGeek]

I'm not optimistic about spanish choice I'm afraid... Agoney and Blanca do nothing for me.

 

[goncalovieira]

Oh my god. Karmento's performance was great.
It gave me vibes of Croatia 1996. And that means a lot... for real.

 

[MAD20]

So happy overall with the qualifiers! From Semi 1, I wanted those 4 so bad, except maybe for Agoney that is not my cup of tea and reminds me so much of Israel 2022, and from Semi 2, I would have switched Vicco for Siderland.

Having said this, I strongly hope Blanca wins it all on Saturday, it was flawless

 

[alca]

It's Blanca or Agoney for me!

 

[theCONWEL]

My ranking of the final:

1. Agoney
2. Vicco
3. Karmento
4. Fusa Nocta
5. Megara
6. Blanca Paloma
7. Jose Otero
8. Alice Wonder

 

[goncalovieira]

Do not select Agoney. That song is a bunch of nothing

 

[ayzelto]

Here my top 8 for the final (based on the whole package):

1. Blanca Paloma
2. Vicco
3. Karmento
4. Megara
5. Alice Wonder
6. Agoney
7. Fusa Nocta
8. José Otero

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Also, another DJ broke down the math:
Agoney and Blanca Paloma both came second in demoscopic jury but won the juries and televote, but that Blanca got more points from the jury than Agoney so he can see it being a a very close and tough battle on Saturday.
