American Reacts to Nebulossa - Zorra 🇪🇸 National Final Performance | Spain Eurovision 2024!

[@HistorialChannel]

I am 100% straight and I love the dance. If there are people who enjoy a song, and suddenly feel uncomfortable, or need expressions like "It's not my cup of tea" to distance themselves, it's because songs and performances like that are still very necessary. Not just for freedom, but because these people are very insecure about their own sexuality.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thanks so much for the comment and explanation. The only thing I ask is please do not assume why people like or dislike the song, delivery, dancing, or dancers. And that is with anything, to be each is own, as they say.

[@HistorialChannel]

Ok, I'm going to assume that you haven't completely changed your attitude and face when the boys have taken off their pants😉. Which is what has happened to all of us in Spain . Those 2 guys did the staging and told the singer: "honey, don't worry if you don't know how to dance, no one is going to notice you" Assume that you like the song more the more you listen to it, and have fun 😉. Remember: Hands on shoulders, hands on ears, hands up high (7:20) You are going to dance it. Congrats on the authenticity of your video and your reaction👍Thank you so much.@@DaneBramageROCKS

Dancers!! Spectacular! Spain uses "slut". (Zorra -vixen) Without censure. Its amazing!! When the girls dance its okay when sexualise men bad. The dancers are amazing!! And She is 56 years, and in the clip watch old ladies dancing, because they are free now!!!

[@taniaphillips3881]

This is my age-bracket. We disappear. This is giving a section of the eurovision audience usually ignored and not taken seriously, a voice, not just that but it's also reclaiming a negative word and connotation. This has a nice 80s throw back. But what I love most about this is that she doesn't step back - women hit 50 and while we disappear from popular culture and have trouble even getting served in shops or taken seriously at our job, we lose relevance, but we also don't take a step back, we don't care what people think. The clip for this is even better. I love the dancers - she didn't go for pretty young things to give a focal point, they are fun and age appropriate. This isn't my fav song of the year, but I love and appreciate it being there. We have every right to reclaim our place in the world and we have every right to reclaim and own slurs. If this was about racism or some other ism - then people wouldn't be so vocal, they wouldn't dare but this "controversy" proves my point because its about older women, we don't matter enough for us to have feeling obviously (sorry your "I don't agree with the sentiment comment fired me up). It's not a sentiment - its a portion of the population reclaiming their dignity and voice.

SPAIN IS WINNER ALERT ❤

[@Zuap]

One of the main flags of Europe is liberty, diversity, equality. Eurovision was created after WW2, to unite the continent after one of the biggest blood baths in history. It was the cradle of liberalism: Liberty, Equality, Freedom. For that reason this song is vert "normal" in the context of Eurovision. This song embraces that ideology: an older woman telling the world that she is still alive and also have sexual life and vote, regardless of social rules she doesn't care (this is an awesome message). Also: all pop female dancers are half naked nowadays, why are males with half naked cloths a shock but half naked female dancers not? (that is part of the message, and I find it awesome). I'm also a rock/metal/classical guy, 40 years old dad. The song is synt pop like the 80's, not my style, and I am hetero, but I love everything on the song: because the message is very rock/punk (rock core values = revolt / liberty / uniqueness / controversy). To be honest I get why some people find the message/staging shocking, but I love shock, Elvis was also a shock when arrived and newspapers wanted to ban him. Shock is what makes us go forward as society and embrace new views instead of old ones. Note: for European guys / Eurovision the shock level of this song is very low in fact, if this socks people embrace yourselves Eurovision get hit harder lol

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah, never said I had a problem with the song, or the dancers. I actually praised the music and performance, just not the message. Regardless of them being male/female. But, most comments on here assumed I have a problem with male dancers being on stage, words that never came out of my mouth, but then again, that is the problem with society. People assuming or changing the narrative.

[@Zuap]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Sorry for the way I passed the message, commented the song in general and other comments here, it was not directed at you in particular, it was to the comments section in general. It is nice of you watching it and giving feedback, all opinions are valid of course. In fact the 1st time I listened to it I was like: what is this, took me time processing xD Just sharing the after-thought of the processing :) Regards PS: the comments assumed you didn't liked the dancers part because you looked away and said the dance was not your cup-of-tea xD But no problem with that, we all don't need to like the same kind of stuff, just sharing experiences. People enjoyed your you taking time to watch this fest and giving feedback, don't worry :) This particular song itself divided a lot of people in Europe too, you're not alone. To me it was funny the word-play with Zorro (hero macho that does whatever she wants) and Zorra (female bitch that does whatever she wants) but it is a personal experience and is ok :)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@Zuap Hi there. You passed the message just fine, I didn't take anything personal. I also was stating what most people were assuming about my reaction here. But good point, I was caught off guard but this is the same reason the last MTV Music Awards were garbage. Just a bunch of singers bouncing around being all nasty and being over sexual, seems unnecessary. Other than that, the song is catchy, regardless if I understand it or not and their story of being unknown to winning a contest is awesome! Cheers dude! 🤘🏻

[@vampirikilla]

The context of the song is: you say Im a b#tch because I have fun, I go out alone till late, and If am sucessful you dont value and you say I dont deserve it so, ok, I'll keep on being a b#tch for you because Im not gonna change, Ill keep on doing what I like and makes me happy and being what I am. The lyrics and the message of empowering is important. Its a song against sexism and prejudices. You can notice also the contrast between the way she is dressing and the dancers clothes, because usually women use to wear less clothes and men use to cover their bodies with clothes, so, here is the opposite ;) and we can check the reaction is not the same generally speaking.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I actually see your point here and I appreciate the perspective and explanation. This does help clear the meaning up a bit and thanks for sharing that.

[@chibiusa4072]

@@DaneBramageROCKS To take that person's comment a bit further, the way the dancers are dressed reinforces the message in the second verse of the song. She is completely covered from neck to toe, including gloves, in a black, relatively conservative-looking outfit (not super-tight, no sequins, etc.). The male dancers next to her strip down into what is essentially sparkly lingerie. Yet, as she says in the second verse, "they call me a wh*re/b*tch no matter what I do". So while it's the men who are stripped down and gyrating - doing their best to be the focus of the attention - SHE is the one still being called a zorra despite being completely covered and not dancing suggestively. Once I noticed that dichotomy on my second or third watch, the entire thing completely clicked for me. It's in my top 5. Soy mas zorra todavia! If they're gonna call you a b*tch no matter what you do, then baby, be the biggest b*tch of all - a picture-perfect b*tch.

[@carmenfelipemenor-wz8dm]

I understand that you are shocked with the male dancers since it us very striking. Yet, they form part of the song message and it isn't casual. Their performance is intentionally to show a role change on the stage, as people are used to only enjoy sexy female dancers..... Why not men..? It is high time to change and accept everybody just the way they are without so many social prejudices. Regards from Spain

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah and that was not my point. I said the same thing about the MTV Music awards, it was the sexualization being presented, it is just tasteless. Gender had nothing to do with it.

[@WandaBarquinG]

I understand your point but for me the male dancers were unsightly as well.

[@carmenfelipemenor-wz8dm]

@@WandaBarquinG it was the same for me at first, I thought ....what an appealing taste!!! but when delving into the real song message I change my mind, I found more meaning about their striking performance and exagerated outfit on the stage. There is a real role change since we are too much used to see females as sexual objects. It is so normalize that very few people complaing about it. The bottom line is that every artistic expression always provoke mixed feelings and all of them are respetable. Regards from Spain

[@eleelee1970]

​@@DaneBramageROCKS I didn't see the MTV music awards, but I wonder: what is tasteless about sex? Sex is nice, sex is gorgeous, sex is healthy, sex is natural, sex is communication, sex is fun, sex is the way we all come to this world, you too. Sex is not a sin, but a blessing. Sex can come with love, pleasure or health. Only when not wanted should it be rejected. Sex and death, Eros and Thanatos, the two old themes of all times. Sex is beauty, so it CAN'T be tasteless "per se", by itself, by its nature.

Your reaction to the male dancers is exactly what this song is ultimately about. You saw two male dancers showing a lot of skin and that made you uncomfortable but almost every woman, in Eurovision alone, is put in clothing that looks exactly like that and no one bats an eye. The song is about sexism, so the dancers clothing and movements go 100% in line with the song

So you're assuming you know why I reacted the way I did because of male bare skin? Wow, thanks for that.

The performance is based on the lyrics. At first I also wanted females to dance, but due to complaints and the sexualization of females she decided to go with males. It was still a shock to people, so she still caused what she wanted. It was shocking for some. I guess I understand the performance better now. I would of liked females in prefession outfits and than take of their cloths to represent what people think of female empowerment, but his was still good.

[@Qluchi]

Por Dios... un adulto evitando mirar a los bailarines porque enseñan el culo? No lo entiendo. Para mi son parte fundamental en esta actuación. César Louzán Ferrío , un gallego afincado en Madrid con trayectoria envidiable como bailarín y profesor de danza contemporánea. Louzán, además, coordina varias de las escuelas de baile en Madrid en las que trabaja. También es muy conocido como Gaylicia, su alter ego drag y "una tía txulísima", tal y como describe su perfil de Instagram. Tan guay, que con ella ganó la Dragalada Drag Tour Madrid.

[@alexlaborda]

Nebulossa was formed in 2018 when the romantic couple decided to form a musical group. The name of the group alludes to nebulae because on a trip to Port Ainé they went to an astronomical observatory where they were constantly mentioned. Bas, 56, and Mark Dasousa, 49, are married, they have two children, one 23 years old and the other 11, and a dog. They generate income through a hair salon. But also, for years, they have had a great passion for music, they don't have a record label or set designers, they do what they can with what they have. They showed up at the Benidorm Fest with the intention of being able to reach the final and for people to know them and know about them, they never thought about being able to get here and go to Eurovision. They bring a song that has clear intentions, it has a very direct, empowering and danceable message, they have developed the feminist message that Zorra brings. A hymn to empowerment, which refers to feminine vindication and the resignification of a word that is usually used with pejorative overtones. ​

[@mariadelpilarllorentelasie4835]

Yo tengo una edad parecida a la de la cantante. Me pasaba lo mismo,si salias a divertirte,malo. Si no salías malo también. Tu propia familia te fiscalizaba. Tenías que ser modosita, dedicarte a la costura,y las labores det hogar. Cuando salías debias decir con quién ibas(fueran hombres o mujeres) tenías una hora de llegada,y pobre de ti que llegaras tarde. Supongo que no todas las mujeres sufrieron esta represión,pero estoy segura que la mayoría si. Esto era muy normal en un país como España,donde el franquismo y un catolocismo mal entendido,oprimia a las mujeres. Se justicaba hasta la violencia de género ,el hombre siempre tenía razón. Una vez superados muchos obstáculos,la mujer es más libre, aunque nos queda mucho todavía. Asi que,la canción de Nebulosa transforma una insulto a la mujer (zorra) en un empoderamiento de las mujeres,que ya no nos importa el que diran,que nos valemos por nosotras mismas. Asi que,no se si ganaremos en Eurovisión,y no se si entenderan la canción, sólo se que es un tema estupendo y creo que es de lo mejor que hemos llevado a Eurovisión.

[@AmyLarien]

I actually like the message and the analysis seemed a bit superficial (not necessarily yours but the infos you found). A community reclaiming a word that was used as an insult to take its power away isn't anything new, it has been done for a very long time by several minorities or communities with less social power. Also, with the whole lyrics the picture of "whatever I do, I will be called a zorra" is very clear, as well as the sexism surrounding those insults in the professional world. She says that even if she's successful it' never because she deserves it but because she's a zorra. Often when a woman gets a promotion the questions is "who did she sleep with" while nobody really asks that regarding a man. The reaction that the dancers get actually gets the point of the song as well, as when female dancers are half naked or with their butts out nobody will really flinch. Especially in the showbussiness world. Mine its not a complete analysis either but I hope that it gives other points of view 😊

[@ximitin]

[@boruttrost5750]

In these situations, a lot of guys are anxious to let everybody know they find male bodies repulsive, i. e., are not gay. I think the dude's reaction to the butts might also be due to that.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I'll be honest, I don't like when the girls do it either. That was my point. I did not like the MTV Music Awards because almost every female pop star was mostly naked, humping the ground or feeling themselves up and being nasty. This is the negative aspect I don't like and why I am over the sexualization. Those are not the role models society needs.

My favorite aspect of the song, in the way I see it, is the act of reclaiming a word that has been used to hurt and humiliate women for years. As a gay man, I resonate with that, and I find it very powerful. I come from a very conservative and homophobic country, so I think it's amazing how many Spanish people seem to embrace such a risqué and evidently queer performance. I think there are a lot of things that can be lost in translation and cultural context. It was interesting to watch your reaction and your first impressions though. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I was not sure about the history until the articles were read so I am gaining an understanding. Thanks for commenting on this, I was more taken back just by the sexualization alone and not so much who was delivering it. I was not even sure of the stance of the dancer themselves and did not verify their sexual preference so that made no matter to me!

I used to live in Spain, they curse like sailors over there. I don't see why it's a big deal as this is the typical way they talk?!?! However "Zorra" is an insult if a woman stays out too late having fun, while it's okay for men to do the same. There's also a line in there that anything she earned, she didn't deserve it. I can't tell you how many times in my life I've had people come up to me asking if my boyfriend bought my clothes, car, jewelry. I worked my tail off to go to college and be successful in my career. It's a song about owning the word so it's not a slur anymore/equal opportunity. I'm also about the same age as the singer. ;-)

La cultura española estuvo en América antes que la inglesa, los pocos indios vivos que dejaron los ingleses (vaqueros romántizados en los westerns) están en reservas malviviendo en los Estados Unidos de América que tienen nombre español ( colorado, Tejas, California...) porque huían de la muerte segura y les concedieron unas parcelillas en lugares inhóspitos perdidos para que acabarán por extinguirse solos) De las 13 colonias huían al sur los negros esclavos, para entrar en los dominios españoles y ser libres. Esa es la esencia de la cultura española. Mientras Inglaterra era genocida España construía hospitales, catedrales, Universidades se casaba y hacía mestizaje desde Argentina hasta más de la mitad de lo que ahora llamáis USA. Sin destrucción.

[@patrisande9563]

I believe the message is being a little bit misunderstood. She's saying 'if I go out alone, you'd call me a bitch, if I have fun, you'd call me a bitch...' so she's like 'if that makes me a bitch, then I am proud of it because I am happy as I am, I am doing no wrong and if a male did that things that would be no problem'.

I don't think it's so much the lack of clothing but more the distasteful, inappropriate and vulgar way they're shamelessly gyrating around each other, which would be fine if this was an adult show, but it isn't, it's broadcast during the time when children are exposed to it. I mean I've been to many pools, beaches and saunas, I don't often see people behaving like this there though.

[@silviarasheva253]

As a 46 year old woman, a European and a feminist, I don’t find this song and video controversial at all; I rather find them weak. By feminist terms, reclaiming gender equality through reversing the stereotypical roles is still embracing those roles. A bit like someone who was bullied empowering themselves by becoming a bully - it doesn’t work like that and this is not what feminism is for and stands for. I also dislike the vocal performance, I perceive it as weak and at times was irritated by it (off-pitch on two occasions?). Naked male butts on stage are not a shock. I find the dance choreography tried to be humorous or parodic, and the costumes were unflattering, so in combination those dancers did attract the eye but not in a good way, they were a bit ridiculous, but I think that fits the intended role-reversal message as well. They were made to feel cringey on purpose. Again, this is a message that as a feminist I disagree with. I think the human body can be sexual and shown as sexual in a respectful and tasteful way. For example, the music video of Austria is very explicit with suggestive male bodies and poses, and other than this portrayal being cliché as well, it is ag least not done to ridicule or humiliate. For a gorgeous use of the naked male body for artistic emotional expression through masterful choreography and videography, see Belgium ❤

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

This is a wonderful explanation. I think yo took what I was trying to say. Was not controversial in my mind, just tasteless. I watched the MTV Music Awards a few months back and felt the same way, it was just tasteless and unnecessary. Thank you for commenting, this is a great explanation to the submission, IMO.

one thing is what U.S. society tries to sell to the world about how its society and culture works, another thing is, with exceptions and a certain non-majority part of that society ,the reality. There are countries in Europe where steps have already been taken on equality, inclusivity, feminism, LGBT, migration, etc. (although there is still a long way to go) that would surely be difficult for you to imagine. Does it shock and bother you to see a woman and two men behaving like this?

I found in a lot of reaction videos that just because she is middle age they think she’s been around for ages , does that mean that you can’t start a career as a singer when you are middle age? Maybe she worked in an office until she was 40 and then decided on a career change lol it’s never too late to pursue your dreams lol People might not like how they put on the show and convey their message but the message is still necessary and relevant unfortunately

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah good call. I was not sure but I have been told that she was a hair dresser then the duo decided to make this song and enter the contest. She was relatively unknown until this contest. Which is awesome!

[@antoniocorreiarivera2780]

I can't find a better way to change such a horrible meaning as "bitch". A woman in her fullness, delivering a message of Freedom and Equality. It's an anthem for those of us who love "Live and let live, you'll be happier”.

[@enid9911]

I wasn't as surprised anymore by the gay dancers with their crossdresser clothing. I currently do research about closeted gays in the entertainment industry and I found out that at least half of the main marvel actors are either gay or bi so these half naked dancers didn't shock me anymore. Joan Rivers even joked in the 1960s that she can't find a Hollywood boyfriend because the men are either all married or "dancers", so it is actually very fitting what we see here. It is just not hidden anymore.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

That Joan Rivers is hilarious. But I could care less about their sexual affiliation, I just was not a fan of the over sexualized style. Seems unnecessarily IMO. I didn't care for it when the MTV Music Awards plastered it all over the place either.

[@campbell93jc]

Idk the message is about taking power and using the word that was for an insult back under her own umbrella to give her strength. Also i couldn't think of anything more rock and roll.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

True. Good point. Thank you.

[@maddilizarralde6506]

Here someone from Spain. Firstly, I have to say that the song is not my cup of tea, I wouldn't listen to it in my free time. However, when it comes to the meaning and what it pretends to visualize, it is quite huge. As you had read, the word "zorra" is used in a VERY despective way here towards women. If you go out alone you're a "zorra", if you dress with "less clothes" or a short skirt you're a "zorra", etc. So basically, although Spain isn't really considered a sexist country, you can still see and hear these kind of comments quite frecuently arround you. Nebulossa's intention is to change the meaning of this word to represent empowerment. When did we all agree that "zorra" means b*tch and "zorro" astute? Actually, this happens with some other words where the femenine form of the noun means something bad and the male version something good. Lastly, the dancers clothing and dancing style makes a reference to how we are so used to see women dancers with almost no clothes dancing along with the singer, while male dancers are usually covered up (at least they have pants). So in this case, they changed the roles, so she's all covered up while the two men are dancing with those "clothes". Hope this helped you understand some more stuff :)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

This does yes! Thank you so much for explaining all that and understanding. I appreciate it! Cheers.

C'mon guys, give Dane a break -- he had an honest reaction to the performance and was neither offensive nor disrespectful to any of it. Would his looking away from the sight of the male dancers be justified if he was gay? Or is it a prerequisite for all gay people to like that particular choreography and outfits? He may not get all the nuances of a (sub)culture but at least he made an effort to learn something about it and was not dismissive; both being commendable. We all should strive to peek beyond horizons that make our everyday life/tradition and exchange opinions with people outside our own tribe. The alternative to that looks much too frightening.
