Today it was time for 
at the ESC kompakt songchecks 2024.
esc-kompakt.de
The verdict of the bloggers:
Benny - The best overall package won the Spanish preliminary round. For me, “Zorra” really only works on stage and with a vocal performance similar to that in the preliminary round at the ESC, it should also compete for the last places. The song has now developed a lot of nerve potential for me.
Berenike - In addition to “back to the 90s”, “Zorra” also includes “back to the 80s”. The song doesn't really convince me. It's sung too softly for the message (especially the “Zorra, zorra, zorra” would have deserved a lot more power) and the arrangement is too monotonous for me. So there is no tension and the song just babbles past me.
Douze Points - The day the Benidorm songs were released, I wrote to co-blogger Max that I was #TeamZorra. And that hasn't changed much. Never thought they would win the festival. I like the 80s sound and the confident statement. I could have done without the dancers in bodices.
Flo - As an overall package, “Zorra” stands out. But the hype about Nebuolssa didn't reach me and I think it won't be easy to keep up with it and score points. It's more likely that the outfits and the staging will make you sit up and take notice for a while before interest wanes again.
Manu - Spain is re-establishing a really good preliminary decision format with the Benidorm Festival and then allowing the jury appointed to feel uncomfortable enough to make a real decision because of the audience in the room. I actually like the pure audio because of the 80s sounds - but due to its appearance in the preliminary round, "Zorra" is unfortunately unelectable for me and comes at least 25 years too late to be innovative in any way: the similarly frivolous duel between Nebulossa and Paul Oscar In 1998, the charismatic Icelander definitely won for me – that had style. Singer Mery doesn't even need to sing particularly well in her song and still messes up the notes a lot. Sorry, but in the end I only have left in pure audio.
Max - Despite all the euphoria in Spain – once again – I remain a bit skeptical about “Zorra”. Yes, the style is very popular in Spain and the message of the song certainly has a unique selling point this year. But for me the song is pretty thin and not really a competition song. The most exciting thing here is the performance and, more precisely, the dancers.
Peter - Camp as camp can. This will be an ESC dance floor classic. I have no idea how it works internationally, but this weird, groovy, provocative, kitschy dance song will take root in the bubble. Confidently putting the “Zorra” attribute forward as a brand symbol has something elegant about movement and I really like the quotes from Spanish and French new wave music of the 80s.
Rick - At first I found the song a bit too smooth, but the live version gave me the rough edges I was looking for. Nebulossa also impressed at the pre-parties and the duo's very own 80s synth sound ensures a unique selling point at the ESC. I don't know whether Europe understands the statement, but if you convey the topic of "women's power" or "self-determination" well, it can be well received. There is also a plus for the joy of life that Nebulossa radiates. In combination with the dancers it's enough for good.

A little annoyed with our entry this year.
People here have taken for granted a bad outcome because they think the message is not gonna be conveyed to the people out of Spain, but I think that the melody is catchy and this retro-synth has its public target, especially nostalgic.
But nothing on the performance makes sense. It's absolutely random, and you have to somehow get the public attention, otherwise you're lost. I find it so obvious that with enjoyable ladies in their fifties, the message of the song would be stronger and worldwide, but they have preferred to opt for the most generic gay performance. Don't get me wrong, it's not that bad, but incredibly flat. And no one is gonna vote for it among the other entries.
10 points from the televote and 0 from juries it's my forecast.

There's a high chance they will be getting 150 individual votes/calls from Latin America and Portugal, for sure

Spain is now #1 at the odds for last place.
Well, not surprising at all. I knew they were going to be last since the moment they were chosen.
