well... we'll see. If a few gestures have to be changed - be it. for the outfits: They show no more than in the case of Chanel.

I was shocked they let Chanel perform like that, tbh.
It's like they prevented Dita from being extra iconic and now they don't give a damn anymore

 

[Mainshow]

And I'm giving this my third this year.

Wow! Happy for you! You're on a roll!

People, we've been in the wrong thread this whole time thinking this audience will serve. Look at Malta right now

It's true, but then attitudes have changed over the thirteen years between each of those performances.

What do you mean the attitudes have changed? Then why my dear Let 3 wasn't allowed to show their hairy Stalin Georgian tummies last year?

For me his vocal performance was weak. He could have improved it by May, of course, but we needed a big of magic now and there was none.

And I say that as someone who had Dos Extraños as his pre-show winner.

I do agree completely with you.
But the potential was there. With a bit of work and a very clever staging.

It also means female fox.

Which in English we call "vixen", a word that's also used to describe a sexy woman So essentially "zorra" doesn't have any straight-forward, family-friendly translation in English

Because all of Europe would have been hypnotised into voting for them by their sheer sexual magnetism! It wouldn't have been fair.

but you may be right. there are different standards for men and women on stage when it comes to showing skin. A bare male back might shock the old white men in the EBU more than a female one...

It goes both ways - Male dancers and artists can show their nipples to 180 million viewers.
Female performers can't.

It's not necessary to make this about "race/ethnicity".

 

[VirginiaVision]

WAIT guys I have a great idea: They should rework the song from "Zorra" to "Bimbo". And when the EBU tries to argue that bimbo is a rude term for a woman, they deny it and say they're simply referring to the bread brand

It doesn't work because you can't use brands in songs

Damn, a fatal flaw in my plan... don't worry guys, I'll think of something

Well, in that case, it's quite well established that this group sets the standard in this question (at least in the west...) but you're right: it's not important enough to argue about.

Undoubtedly. But if Spain’s jury weren't convinced, I'm sorry but he only had himself to blame. The system in Benidorm Fest allows the jury to bypass the public vote if the potential is there. For me, his performance was better in the semi-final and that is unforgiveable, no matter how harsh that may seem.

Who would have expected it from the Templars and Saint Georges

Btw Trivia: in Croatian/Slovenian/Serbian Zora means Dawn, and it's also very common female name here.

Now let's go to Malta people

Fantastic! Dawn it is. Also a female name in Spanish (Alba) and in Basque (Goizargi)

 

[Loindici]

Think I won't play Zorra so much, but the performance was interesting.

 

[LivingOrganism]

I know I'm late to the party, but I was watching the waaay too long "MESC". Seeing the result of this year's Benidorm .... wtf happened there? I wasn't really a fan of any entry, but man this is horrendous. Spain (almost) never fails to choose the worst out of a bunch of mediocre songs lol
To any newborn Nebuloza (or whatever it's called) fans - please explain to me what forsaken magic caused this song to actually win?
