I love it. If juries give 0 to this, they should be ditched.

I see what you did there

I mean, we all have some guilty pleasures - but in my naive state of mind, juries should be voting for quality entries/progressive entries or well-produced/written "hits" (I could live without the last category but it seems to be the biggest approach by juries nowadays).

Personally, I think that "Esa Diva" is the least competitive Spanish entry since Soraya - dated and cheap (thanks to the revamp). The original version was still fun (in a verydated but camp and Eurovision-esque kind of way).

But what is left now? - I think it's the strongest contender for last place since "Embers" and "I don't feel hate" in 2021.

(I will be glad for people who like it if it ends up higher, of course). Time will tell, I guess - at least, she can come up with a great performance - maybe juries and televoters will award her staging/choreography efforts...

While I like the new version better, I feel it is odd and even unfair to an extend to change the song a lot especially if you win a national final with it. It reminds me of the time when Litesound ruined their very cool rock song by turning it into an electro pop and made the song lose all its charm, which in my book was very disrespectful to the people who rooted and voted for it during the NF, most of which would have probably chosen another song to vote for if that were the version performed on NF. Idk changing the song after winning a NF and getting so many votes from people who pay money for it is just odd to me.

Personally, I don't think do because it's a song contest and not "The Voice: Europe".
I still can't understand how the juries wanted Malta and Georgia to qualify in 2017 - despite delivering the most boring and dated ballad or a clichéd screamfest.

Juries usually heavily rely on vocals and stagings. I'd prefer them to vote on different categories instead of ranking 25/26 songs on the spot without having much time to adjust their ranking/listening to the songs again...etc.
