JORGE, TEAR DOWN THOSE WALLS!

Jorge salió en un concurso en rusia que Dimahs era miembro del jurado y el le dio un 9 a su actuación , investigar eso fue en el 2021 😊

[@MariaM-zh6bg]

The song is not my favourite but his perfomance and vocals (he nailed every single note) are outstanding. If Jorge wins and goes to Malmö, his show will be even more fantastic.

[@rhysjones7002]

This was the performance of the night! This would be huge in Malmo

My winner, JUST LIKE CHANEL: without making noise & a catchy easy latin pop track, surprising and shocking us ALL live with the wow/surprise factor; discipline, great attitude and an absolute Eurovision mindset with the most "Made In Spain" performance. (A shame that the professional juries won't allow it to win).

[@Wiwibloggs]

WELL SAID!

[@yopyop1949]

Guys, I assure you that if he is selected to represent Spain in ESC, his voice and especially dancebreak will rise like Chanel did. Besides, we will all need a lot of water and cold to lower the temperature in Malmö 🌊😍

[@budigunawan1677]

This is Chanel+Noa Kirel with a Ricky Martin song. Best chance of Spain getting a top 10 or even a top 5. If Bejba can get top 10 this one is a no-brainer. And St Pedro's vocal and staging left a lot to be desired.

[@Chanelistap]

Yeah He's more like bejbah and bajbah didn't get top 10 televote because of skills but just because of a meme So yeah, I don't want that scenario for Spain because they deserve more

[@budigunawan1677]

@@Chanelistap Chanel and Noa Kirel finishes 3rd so top 10 finish is actually the worst case scenario.

[@Chanelistap]

@@budigunawan1677 Chanel would have won any other year. Noah would have won had Loreen not participated. This? We don't know because it's to early to call it, we don't have many songs yet and the dynamics changes a lot in the weeks leading up to the contest. The Only thing that can save him are televotes because he's hot. And that's sad because as an artist he deserves more than this

[@sjrsrs3527]

For me best song , and best option for good result for Spain in ESC.

[@Frankie_M]

I was screaming in front of the tv when i Saw the jury messing Up yesterday. I thought the jury was there to prevent that Spain sends the wrong song to Eurovision. They are doing the opposite at the moment. I agree Caliente could go top 5 at Eurovision!

[@Ciclopea2]

Hey, if they could make the show bigger with Chanel and turn it into what it became, this has A LOT of potential, and love what you pointed out about the authentic feel, the formula within the genre and the execution feels authentic, he's authentically hot too lol, Ricky Martin vibes 100%. Love the contrast of the dancers being graceful and kinda feminine and his masculine strong presence and movements, Spain could be a real contender with this one.

[@iinalumi]

William reacting to videos: talks about his they look. That's it!

[@rekiuk]

I like the fact that a straight guy can dance and be camp without caring what others will say or think. I hope he wins on Saturday. Tired of female divas at Eurovision, it’s time for a male diva. Hope Jorge will make us all caliente in Malmo.

[@joaquinmontano3615]

This is the best performance, the best coreogrphy and song is very sensual and song are catchy and Jorge does it very well, Are you agree???

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

People criticise it for being too similar to Chanel and Fuego and the dance break is criticised but THIS is much more Spanish. The dance break is FLAMENCO inspired. The red and orange colours are different too! This would do A LOT better than EeAa and would include EVERYONE including conservatives. The juries definitely robbed him! The demoscopic wouldn't have voted for him as winner if the mixing was wrong among them!

[@EdAPC]

Something about Jorge's performance reminds me of Efendi - Mata Hari 2021...but its way better.

There is a mystical quality, I totally hear you.

[@alejandrovicente733]

YASSS KING

[@budigunawan1677]

Prediction on ultimate finish in Malmö: Nebulossa - bottom 3 Angy - mid-place finish (11th-20th) Jorge - top 5 or top 10 St Pedro - can be top 5 to as low as 20th depending on the staging, and his live vocals doesn't impress me

[@budigunawan1677]

He's dancing flamenco in the dance break, and it's perfect.

[@deedee2]

Ko je ta žena within you, Jorge?

[@mercedes872]

Una señorita europea o americana

[@Chanelistap]

Sorry but it's too cliché for me and it's nowhere to be as good as Chanel was so these comparisons seem soo ridiculous to me. The vast majority of people gushing over him are doing it purely because he's hot but they won't admit it. And it's sad because he could come back with sth better next year.

[@Ama94947]

his dances has Flamenco influences.

[@a_sier90]

The best option this year…. He and sofia 😘😘

[@ontheground09]

He's said he'll improve the dance break part and they have worked on a new improved version of the song in case he wins, so I hope we'll get to see these changes... but the jury doesn't support him so we'll see.

Hey Freddy 😇

Trust me: He's the devil! 😈😈😈

[@Rialgaru]

On the other hand, this year in Spain we already have a Eurodrama! As opposed to Jorge, who is the rogue gypsy male, hot and sweaty, but then we have our sweet canary St. Pedro, who with his charm opens the doors of heaven to all of us...What do we do? Help us choose whether to send the angel or the devil to Malmö? Pedro or Jorge!! OMG! This looks like the last supper! 🤔

[@MissMaisel]

It's a really brave performance. You need to have a lot of charisma to do what Jorge has done. He wasn't my favorite but I like that Spain is bold and sends a man dancing and singing like this. Because we Spaniards are like that, calientes y valientes (hot and brave)

Once again like last year we send something that might be "fun" in Spain, but wrong for Eurovision, sadly we discarded him ( Jury) the best chance Spain could 've had!

[@Chanelistap]

The only good choice for Spain this year is Angy because of the "wow factor" - Spanish language today is popular thanks to Bad Bunny and that kind of music - if Spain sends a pop/rock song with 2000s vibes sung by a woman that's their chance because NO ONE expect them to do so in 2024.
