I don't see a point of comparing Channel, who from first ten seconds established herself in my eyes as a talented musical artist who will slay on ESC with that "Slo mo? Oh that makes sense, smart!" kind of performance...After seeing her videos on tiktok before on how she dances, i expected Daniela Blasco to gag absolutely everyone with her performance the same way Chanel did. But it doesn't seem that it's the case. She had really good reactions but not as much as Chanel and odds for Spain didn't skyrocketed the way they did with Chanel too. I'm absolutely gobsmacked by that idea. What's the problem here ? She didn't even went viral ... why ? The choreo was absolutely slick and should have impressed people enough to be gagged, same for the package overall which had really good and precise camerawork.

I dont know about the jury not putting her above lachipsa, what little Daniela sang, she did sing better though the difficulty was also a lot smaller.Daniela's song is more dated than Chanel's and it's been 3 years since Chanel won, so it's incredibly dated, and just worse.
And Chanel just had that star charisma that Daniela didn't have. Daniela is just a dancer and that's it, nobody cares about her song, her vocals, her charisma or even the staging. It's just dance that "saves" her from being completely bad or mediocre.
I also doubt the jury put her above La Chispa or Lucas Bun, I can even imagine Kuve being above her. She'll be max. 4th with the jury I think.
You bring taste once again Kai - you and I can sit after this NF season and stream Ladybug from Norway and Sonia y Selena, dreaming of what could've been...I'm late to the party (which is rude as Spain were my number 1 last year) but I've finally caught up with the performances.
Kuve - LOCA XTI = 9/10
Lachispa - Hartita de llorar = 6.5/10
Daniela Blasco - Uh nana = 6.5/10
Lucas Bun - Te escribo en el Cielo = 5/10
Sonia y Selena - Reinas = 10/10 (fabulous mature lady disco, my beloved
)![]()
David Afonso - Amor barato 8.5/10
K!NGDOM - Me gustas tú = 7/10 (thought this would have advanced on the staging alone)
Chica Sobresalto - Mala feminista = 6/10
I'm happy Kuve went through. Usually I'm less into more ravey kind of dance tracks but LOCA XTI really lands well for me. It's catchy, super epic, great vocals and Kuve looks gorgeous. I really love that dress she's wearing tooThis entry has got it going on and so far would be my pick. It really soars.
Hartita de llorar is an interesting song. It has a strong performance too, minus the vocals.. and I think that's just too much of a biggie on such a song. The shouting was so painfully off at times. Uh Nana is quite alright and performed with a nice amount of spunk. I like the reggaeton elements the most but overall it's a bit of a confusing blend of different sounds. After the first listen I remembered nothing from it despite quite enjoying the song in the moment. Te escribo en el Cielo is a pleasant enough piece of music but there's something about Lucas' vocals that made me feel on edge the entire time. He sounded so nervous, more or less the whole way through it. I would have swapped this song for Reinas or Amor barato, or perhaps even Me gustas tú if I was being more objective seeing as K!NGDOM quite easily had the best staging and performance. I'm surprised they didn't make the top 4 in either vote.
