Yes please!I got the impression that the crowd yesterday celebrated Spain more than the odds and fan rankings would have suggested. I‘m preparing myself for a surprisingly good placing of Spain this year (meltdown of haters included ).
I cannot disagree more. If our festival wants to become a powerful music contest in the country, much like Sanremo and Melodifestivalen are, we should focus on the local market. And that is probably the strategy RTVE has in mind.Spain need to change their approach in BenidormFest. It is focused on the local market and the fanbase way too much. I'm saying this being a big fan of Zorra, but it was obvious quite soon that it was not going any further than Pride events this June.
Unfortunately, none of the songs in this year's BenidormFest would have avoided a bottom 5.
Sanremo and Melodifestivalen are both established festivals and both have international appeal. Also they both are not oriented to and dominated by the eurofan base, which is a burden in the Spanish case.Expected result since the very first minute Nebulossa won the Benidorm Fest. I'm not sad either, as Mery significantly improved her vocals since then, and most importantly, they've created a hit that will be played in clubs and radio stations for quite some time.
Let's hope for a better position next year, but so far so good, thank you Nebulossa, Spain is proud of you!
