aw thanks ❤

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Thank YOU Jose for an awesome song and adding to what will be an ELECTRIC Benidorm Fest! I cannot wait!!!!!! :-) ❤

[@e.o.9094]

Your reactions are always so genuine and respectful... My favorite so far (and by far) is Megara, but I know (and hope) things will be moving a lot during the next months and especially after the live performances. We'll have a good BF23 🙂

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Awwwww thank you so much ❤️💕 that is so lovely of you to say! I think BF23 is going to be insane...in a good way....i am really upset I can't go 😭

[@Alexander-jn3ek]

Alice Wonder has been growing more and more on me to the top. I've seen people crying when reacting to this song, it's so emotional it makes your hair stand on end. Pure emotion, experimental music so necessary to break out of the more commercial music, without the need for fireworks. Masterpiece. Spanish Salvador Sobral? This could be. I hope that the Spanish choose her to win the Benidorm Fest 2023.

Awwwwwww thank you. This was lovely 😍🌹 message to read. Thank you so much 🙏😊

[@krie3629]

Jose Otero's song strikes me instantly. It's incredible. It's not easy to love ballad for me but the lyrics and that goosebumps from the emotions lorddddd. Worth the repeat over and over again.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

It is an awesome example of a ballad for sure! In my top 3 currently :-)

[@palm2004]

Eaea is one of the most unusual and exciting pieces! Would make for an unmistakably Spanish entry that would stand out amongst the rest of the Eurovision entries. Douze points from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Its definately unusual and does certainly stand out again allot of POP! I have no doubts this will qualify into the final of Benidorm Fest. She seems to have allot of support on the ground in Spain. Oh welcome back palm2004 :-)

[@birkinater1139]

I am absolutely in love with benidorm fest 2023, I can't even mention a favourite yet as I like around 12 of them! and of those 12 I love 6 🤯🤩♥🇪🇸🕺🔥

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

It is soooooooo good right!!!!! I am so gutted I cannot go!

[@birkinater1139]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview My favourite is definitely José Otero "Inviernos en Marte"

[@sp9459]

I’m really into the song by Alice Wonder 😍

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Its definitely got something special! ❤

[@rafaolivera7784]

The thing with Blanca is that the song is flamenco-pop, very ethnic and very similar to a more original flamenco but with these deep electronic sounds and resources in the production exported from electronics and pop music. For me it´s mindblowing and I can tell that if you do not have the cultural background it hits different watching your reaction. My fav is Karmento, so SO powerful and encouraging .

[@barawen_who]

Your reactions are always the best, you enjoy it a lot Keep enjoying Eurovision! Love from Spain ❤

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Awwwwwww thank you so much. This was a lovely comments to read. Thank you 🙏😊

[@rosaline953]

I also think that mostly 'inviernos en marte' and 'arcadia' have a lot of potential but they are a bit underrated... I think it would especially be amazing that we finally send a spanish rock song, but I believe most of spanish fans are not ready for that yet... Currently I would say the favorites are 'mi familia' and 'quiero arder'

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I am so intrigued Alba to see how Spain responds to Arcadia. There are other countries that I think it would win - hands down - but will be interesting to see how Spain respond to it 💖

[@lazzstreets3072]

It was fun to watch your video 👍🏻 and I think you were pretty accurate for a first listening

Thank you 👍😊

WOW....what an amazing message to read. Thank you so much for this message ❤️ 💕

[@eurofancanarias5064]

Agoney, Blanca Paloma and Megara my favourites for a moment 😘 probably we change at the live perfomances how last year🥰

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Your right! No doubt things will change when we see things live! I mean I have always been honest...Chanel was not in my top 5 before the live shows....and then look what happened haha :-)

[@miz_salvatore2133]

This may not interest you, but RTVE was very smart to bring the songs out to Sunday the 18th with the World Cup final, since they were promoting the "Benidorm fest" and the songs throughout the day (RTVE broadcast the final). Our public television intends to win the "Eurovision song contest" and it was demonstrated with the great promotion they did with Carlos Higes with promos, inviting them to vote for him and Spain. And I am very proud as a Spaniard, that they finally want to win the ESC. 😍

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I have no doubt RTVE are going for the win next year. As you said totally smart move to release then early in line with world cup......sooooooo unbelievably happy to hear how much RTVE has pushed Benidorm Fest....there was concerns when artists were released with lack of famous artists....but the reaction in Spain and across the world after song release has been phenomenal! I am loving we now have another national selection that warrants a screening party like MeloFest :-)

[@lucasegea1385]

Quiero arder 🔥🔥 and Aire 🌬️🌬️ are my FAV 💗💗💗

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Camp classics! Love them 🤩

[@agustinpulidoramirez5127]

This blocke is so right by having spotted José Otero huge potential as the Real Spanish entry at this year ESC!!!

He's such a huge talent!!!!

[@pauvilchez4606]

the songs are amazing 💜🔥💕 my favs are Fusa Nocta and Siderland

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I have been listening to them non stop now they are on Spotify! Thank you Spain for delivering these gems :-)

[@a.m.rifkia.3rd493]

Felicitaciones to RTVE for another great edition of Benidorm Fest. there are no bad songs nor there are weak songs, but I don't know if it's stronger or weaker than last year's edition.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I think there are a few more this year I want to download already - but that might just be a statistical game as there are more songs this year! Its a quality year for sure! I would be very interested if bigger names were overlooked/rejected as the judging panel were only seeking quality songs!

[@terryseurovisionworld]

First of all, loving the Xmas jumper Shane. As always you have impeccable fashion taste 😁 Secondly, I totally decided to watch your reaction rather than edit my reaction videos, but heyho, that can wait until tomorrow 🤣 For me, this is a great selection of songs, and picking a winner is going to be a monumentally difficult task. I agree last year perhaps had more genre diversity. There is a lot of Latin-inspired pop here, which is probably the 'Chanel' effect in action. But a lot of it is pretty strong in my opinion, and I am really hoping they can deliver it well on stage. I won't say anymore because otherwise there will be no need for you to watch my videos. But yeah, in short, definitely looking forward to the live shows of BenidormFest 2023 😁

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Thanks for the love for the xmas jumper Terry! Be careful with CP by the way! This was my fourth upload in the end! I shed a tear after my third CP haha! Make sure there is no longer than 10secs of music and you not talking is my advice! Looking for the live shows too...oh and your reaction! We are not connected on social media are we? Was going to say which songs to be careful for, for the CP!

[@VigoJ]

My top 3 is: Agoney Artiz Aren E'Femme Agoney is by far my favourite, the song is spectacular. It was a shame it was the first song I listened to as all the other songs just didn't even come close to it.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I am the same as you - its a shame I listened to that one first as it is clearly a stand out track!

[@PauloCesarLira5]

Megara is my favorite by faaaar It's a very good selection of songs, I like most of them, but none hooked me like Arcadia did. I love this song and I'm hoping so much for amazing staging. It's quite different, it's a risk, but like you said, nobody wins by playing safe

[@jcim2003]

Congrats for this nice reaction!! and qualification!!!!

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Thank you so much 👍😊 💖

[@johnmoynahan874]

What a fantastic review video Shane. Many congratulations 👏👏 Loving the quality in BenidormFest again this year. Will not pin my opinions rigidly just yet. The "lives" will be deciding. But as of now, my 3 against the field are Agoney, Famous and my winner as of now......Megara!. I just hope they don't go all out to shock visually ( we have seen that before ), as i think the song is good enough without that paraphernalia. Vamos Espanya !! 👏👏👏

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Thank you so much John. Now I have listened to them all allot Famous has shot up into my top 6! From what KZbin tells me Famous knows how to deliver live on stage so I expect this one to do very well! 💖 PS. Thank you so much for your kind words John

[@draconianV8]

Very decent selection of songs for Benidorm Fest. My top 3: 1. Jose Otero 2. Agony 3. Siderland Jose's vocals are amazing and I pray that he can perform it well live with good staging cause I got eurovision winner vibes from it.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Jose's vocals are beautiful....you are right! Praying this is a MOMENT on stage live....I am loving listening to the studio version of this one on Spotify ♥️

JOSE OTERO. ❄️ That's it.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

His voice is stunning!

[@heylinsworld6673]

There's so many good songs this year! It seems like its shaping up to be a battle of the bangers and I am here for it! I personally think they should take the risk and choose Megara. Really high energy and memorable but completely different from Chanel last year. But that's just me. There are some really strong pop bangers in the mix as well, and I really like the more artistic songs as well. Can't wait to see them all live! As we know, everything changes in the live show. haha.

[@mariajosemartinez5135]

Arcadia is my favorite 😊

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

100% agree Heylin's world! Anything can change after the lives! Let's see! But all I can say I now have all songs on a playlist on Spotify and I am loving the amount of upbeat songs. Some songs I ruled out in my reaction I am now loving....Famous....in particular x

[@heylinsworld6673]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview Ahaha. Fair. La Lola is a banger! Fusa Nocta is a big grower for me. I didn't really get it on first listen but I've replayed it a Lot since. Very catchy.

[@roberarevalo6837]

Blanca Paloma has no infectious melody but it is a mesmerizing song and does not leave you indifferent. Although as a single it is not my favourite, I believe she will be one of the strongest presences on stage so I really can't wait to watch her live.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I agree with you. If we take Blancas performance last year as a bench mark then you can be assured this will elevate in people's rankings after seeing it live!

It’s gonna be awesome, no? So many good songs. I must say, Karmento and Alice Wonder’s songs benefit from understanding the lyrics, so look them up. I just LOVE Fusa Nocta. Her broken voice is just ❤️‍🔥 and then Agoney and Jose Otero’s songs are also so very good… and Vicco! Sharonne, another one with campy, inspiring lyrics. The lead singer of Meler also wrote Twin Melody’s song… I was so looking forward to this video and I’m glad you’re still candid Shane. Don’t know which one is my favorite yet….. agh!

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Haha I wish I was more candid and did more talking over the songs as there was some issues with CP! I think this was my fourth upload! I think I she a tear after my third CP haha! I was so excited to get into reacting to these songs I failed to check out the lyrics of the songs, which I totally get is lazy on my part - knowing lyrics really helps! My perception of some of the Ukrainian songs changes after knowing the lyrics! Some extra info I did know there Vincent i.e. lead singer of Meler writing Twin Melody's song - good to know :-)

Alice Wonder is the one. You should listen to her music, it's stunning.

[@walterk3248]

I find it very funny when he says that meler's song sounds like melfest 😂😂, it's a more American style in the choruses and the verses more in the Latin pop style, I'm American.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

☺️ 💖

[@tenjanuaryeverywhere]

I loved all of your reactions! You’re amazing! But I am actually stopping on Karmento’s. These songs are for the Benidorm Fest which is a spanish festival. I know the winner is gonna represent Spain but lets forget that for a moment. Karmento’s song is what’s actually giving the Benidorm Fest a unique sound, the sound of Spanish diversity. This will never win but I incredibly loved that we get to have her in the contest. Finally, Spain has its own brand to musically shine.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

That is totally fair! I agree with you 100%! You know I was thinking about this when I was going to bed last night - I think videos like mine - foreigners reacting to a Spanish song contest and have value if you are thinking past Benidorm Fest i.e. Eurovision. I think what foreigners think of songs is important - I would always be more curious to foreigner reactions to UK songs when they got released rather than Brits as they will be the ones voting for us. Your points are totally valid though - for a Spanish song contest Karmento rightfully deserves their place in this mix.

[@barawen_who]

I love Arcadia, and it is totally pop rock The pop rock we though it was hard rock when we had 15, and it is still good x)

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I can't wait to see if Spain will get behind it. Its a good song for sure. I'm just curious whether there wil be enough fans in Spain who will vote for it 💖💖

[@TheESCHermit]

I feel exactly the same way about Rakky Ripper. It wouldn't be my last place if it didn't have the Scooteresque sound in the chorus. I love and would be really happy with any of these at Eurovision 1: Agoney 2: Blanca Paloma 3: Alice Wonder 4: Karmento 5: Megara 6: Sharonne 7: Sofia Martín 8: Fusa Nocta I like: 9: Vicco 10: Siderland 11: E'Femme 12: Famous 13: José Otero 14: Aritz Meh: 15: Alfred Garcia 16: Twin Melody 17: Meler Not for me 18: Rakky Ripper Overall a great selection of songs. Roll on Benidorm Fest 2023!

It's either Alice Wonder, Blanca Paloma or Agoney for me. Although I sense live performances will again dramatically change everything this year.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

As you rightfully said! Live performances will inevitably change everything!

[@Shellydaliie]

Theres a number of songs in this selection that I quite like. Famous's song is very much like a World cup anthem which I think is cool (reminiscent of France 2010). Really like José Otero's song its very impactful and like you I was surprised with the vocal in the bridge if he can pull that off and the power of the chorus, that could be special. I liked the girlbands song, thought it was decent. Agony's song is very instantaneous. Also like Rikky's song. Theres not many songs in this selection that I'm instantly discounting interestingly, there's probably 2 I'd say that are not my cuppa, one of them being Sharon's song. Blanca's song sounds very interesting ,potential for cool staging particularly after last year. Arcadia's song, I dont mind it, it's decent but I already see myself sort of distancing from it because it seems to be a song people are really liking and I dont feel as enthusiastic about it. Overall, a very strong selection. Admittedly, last year I liked about 3-4 songs in the studio version (Chanel, Xienn, Blanca and tanxugueras *although I went off that with the staging* if I remember correctly) and for the live performances I started liking Rayden's song having initially felt somewhat indifferent by it (it was decent but I wasn't enthused but the live performance was brilliant). This time around, idk if its the fact that they all sound proper and not like demos but I'm very impressed with this selection. Can't wait to see the songs live.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I cant wait either! As you said they do not sound like demos...the quality is HIGH! I am the same as you at this stage....there are allot I like Michelle :-)

Well, well, well, our favourite English Eurotuber speaking about Benidorm Fest so... [rolling up my sleeves] leet's go!. I must admit that I am as surprised as with Ukranian results! I'm so glad that they send such interestings songs! I knew they would not be as bad as many people said. My favourites are Blanca Paloma and Megara. Blanca is such a HUGE artist, her voice is so perfect as well as her live. This song is so beautiful, you should translate lyrics into English ♥. On the other hand, Megara is all I've always wanted to Eurovision XD. I mean, a rock song could be very unespected from Spain. Kenzy has a powerful voice and an awesome attitude! I could be incredible. "I don't like rock", come to the dark side, Shane, we have cookies ;D. Finally, of course, their finals performances will change everything, as they did with our lovely Chanel. :) Have a great week!

[@victorcastanedab]

My favourite is José Otero, then Karmento (ethnic sound from Castilla La Mancha [the region Don Quixote takes place in]), Alfred and Vicco Funnily enough, Flamenco sounds like a Melodifestivalen wannabe 'Spanish' song, (and has, in fact a bunch of foreign songwriters [A Norwegian, A US citizen, An Englishand an Australian) and No nos moverán from Meler was written entirely by them and a couple other Spaniards (though to me it sounds too much like One Direction Xd). Same for Siderland. Not anything against your reaction, it was pretty good, I just thought that the way you commented on these two was funny to me! Xd As an extra fact, one of the songwriters of Uff! is Baréi, who represented us in 2016! I'm also not always a fan of rock, but kinda feel like Arcadia would be the fifth song of my top 5, so maybe we're onto something here! And yeah, there are definitely many meh songs in comparison to last year, I agree.

[@SayaKur0Zer0]

Agoney is definitely my fav. I think it's the most impressing at first hearing. Also Agoney's so good singing live and I feel that the chorus dance will be great. I wanna watch this live, but I think this performance's gonna be a great show. I like Aritz song too, but quite repetitive, same tempo all the time. He's a good dancer, so let's see it on stage. Megara, love it!!! But not for Eurovision. I quite like E-FEMME song, but their live the last time was a bit "high school festival performance", so I don't have many expectations in their performance. I was so disappointed with Blanca Paloma. I love her voice but the song is quite weird, maybe too experimental. But she's so charming in live that maybe I'll change my opinion about the song. Alice Wonder is too boring, sorry. I mean, her voice is beautiful and all, but I can't with this type of songs. So yeah, Agoney for Eurovision!! Thanks for your reaction btw, I just love watching you

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Don't apoligise haha....I think Alice Wonder's song - you either love it or you don't! I wish Blanca's song had more impact for sure! Agoney is definitely in my top 3 at this monent! Than you for your kind words Sonia :-) ❤

My number 1 song is from Fusa Nocta and I can't wait for her live performance because her MV is great. I also like Blanca Paloma, E'Femme, Sofia Martin. Spain's NS makes me miss our EMA even more (although I can't wait for Joker Out to release their song).

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Yeah it's super strange not having EMA this year 😕 I forgot to ask you your opinion on this Karmen! They would have only made this decision if they knew an internally selected song will do well.... soooooo really looking forward to hearing it :-)

[@karmen31792]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview I hope so too. I have listened to their latest album - it is promising. I know we want to do better in Eurovision, but at the same time for a lot of other artists EMA is a good starting point or a platform for promotion. Let's cross our fingers that the boys will get across their uniqueness and talent (and a little bit of handsomeness doesn't hurt either 😉).

[@moononastick8628]

My head hurts a bit there are so many - I’m going to need to re-listen. Agree there’s a lot of pop! I can see Agoney is getting a lot of love but.. this is giving me Michael Ben David (higher quality) vibes. Im not sold yet. The live shows are going to be a bloodbath 😂

Definitely a bloodbath! I can't wait :-)

[@jatojo]

Nochentera is my clear favourite. A double chorus - what's not to like! I find the lyrics good too. The only thing that worries me is that there is not enough "in your face", as you mention, Shane. "La Venda" was among my favourites in 2019, but it didn't score that well in the end, and Nochentera might have some of the same problems.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I am now obsessed with Nochentera! My only hope is staging makes up for the low key development in production. I think Vicco is with a big label so I am hoping they pay for something memorable!

[@jatojo]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview Yes. At least I'm pretty comfortable concerning her live abilities. So it's not going to be a Teflon Brothers & Pandora kind of disappointment. I think some of her competitors might have a problem there, as their songs sound much more auto-tuned.

[@carmenmora5348]

[@elenar4709]

I like a lot your reactions, you transmit all your excitement for Eurovision! I always have a hard time to pick my favourites because, while I really enjoy Eurovision a lot and been watching it since I was a child, the music I truly enjoy wouldn't fit in it, so I play by discard and then need time to see which of my non discarded songs grows on me best. I like Agoney and Megara, so far those 2 catch my attention most, also Alice Wonder but not sure, she is great but it's a ballad and ballads almost always bore me to death in the contest even if on their own they hold. I agree with you the paint by numbers boy band and the hyper autotune girl are a fast no. Vicco you enjoyed her song but I can't get past how cringey some of her rhymes are, fruta-disfruta killed me. Karmento I really like, great voice and feels honest, it's one I'd love to go see play live but not Eurovision material at all. Looking forward to the live performances!

[@alfarex6405]

Agoney is the best! And Fusa Nocta too, I love her song.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

From the comments here....both seem frontrunners at this stage! Can't wait for the live performances now :-) 💖

[@Dannoo]

I think my top 3 (thinking in Eurovision) Blanca, Fusa or Alice. My fav song was Vicco, but i dont know for liverpool.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Hey Danno! Welcome back ☺️😁 Now I have seen Vicco's music video I am even more sure this is a TUNE! But yes I am worried it will be a bit underwhelming live (based on the pace of the production) live on stage in Liverpool!

[@bayronsalas1929]

I really like a lot of this songs, but Fusa nocta is by far my favorite, this year the biggest album of a spanish artist was MOTOMAMI by Rosalía, and this one gave me the same vibes, I think people will really like it there and with a great stage it can elevate to make more dramatic. Agoney, Alice and Rakky are some that I'm really interested in. Aritz is very controversial artist because he was in FAMA (reality show of dancers) and he said some really awful things about feminist so... Idk if people will vote for him or support him.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Oh no what did he say? There seems to be allot of love for Fusa Nocta in these comments already .-)

[@bayronsalas1929]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview he said that feminist is the same as machismo (idk how to say it on English sorry) and he repeatedly said misogynist things that made a lot of girls on FAMA really uncomfortable. Fusa nocta knows how to perform and Famous too, I didn't like his song but if you saw his perform of Problem or Uptown funk on OT, you can know that he will serve Chanel level if he has a great choreographer and Aritz will probably dance a lot to but Idk if he can sing and dance at the same time. I have to say that Agoney's song reminds me a lot to Siren song by Maruv

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

@@bayronsalas1929 I see! Well thats a shame :-( I get what yo usay about Agoney's song! Its a stand out for sure! I have checked out some live performances of Fusa Nocta and she is definitely talented! Bring on Benidorm Fest 2023 :-)

Hi again.. just letting you know that I actually ended up translating Fusa Nocta's Mi Familia/My family and decided to make my first lyrics video. I hope this will help you and more people to appreciate better her song. Anyway, I hope the video is good enough and that you'll like it. It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2ezc6iZgt2nn9E

[@susanneekelund2425]

Hi Shane! I agree that there is great potential to find a very good winner among these songs. Many pop, dance songs. Some so similar in sound that it was difficult to pick out the favorites. I think the staging and vocal quality will decide. But some stood out a little more to me. Jose Otero, maybe my favourite! Sharonne, I already guessed you would like this😊. Yes, it has some strong harmonies in the chorus, I like it! It's a banger! Also good: Agoney and Megara! E'Femme are interesting, also Rakky Ripper, but not 100 % for me. Alfred Garcia has a nice song. Btw, many comparisons with Melodifestivalen here!😄 I can see your point, we tend to have some songs that lean towards the Latin sound. Speaking of POP/EDM, Sweden is known as a hitmaker (ABBA, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia etc). It is not unusual to see Swedish songwriters behind other countries entries. (Some BOPS with good dance acts from Mello that didn't make it to ESC: Danny Saucedo "Amazing", "In the club", Dinah Nah "Make me (La la la)", Måns Zelmerlöv "Hope and glory", "Cara mia", Magnus Carlsson "Möt mig i gamla stan", all Alcazars songs, just to name a few 😊). Looking forward to see all the songs live! 🌺

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Hahahahahaha ALLOT of comparisons to MeloFest! But as you know I love MeloFest so was not a disrespectful comment towards MeloFest :-) Of course I love Sharrone hahahahaha! My kind of pop tune haha! As you rightfully say....no let's wait....no clear stand out fave at this stage....so let's see the lives! I remember I think Rayden was my fave going into the lives and after lives he was like my fourth fave! 💖

[@susanneekelund2425]

The twin melody do not feel more Spanish than Meler and Siderland. People from outside of Spain believe that the sound of Latin America is Spanish and it is not.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

You are probably right....for a foreigner like me...any latin/flamenco element to a production sounds 'Spanish' to me :-)

[@nmrf7412]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview Flamenco without is a Spanish sound, but the other sounds that identify as Latin are not from Spain. Another thing is the use of the word Latin because France, Italy, Romania and Portugal are also Latin.

Actually they are singing in Catalan, not Spanish and their sound is something many Catalan bands have.

[@Konstantinos20]

Actually, Fusa and Paloma are the best. Agoney is a copy of Ukraine (Maruv) and Israel last year... I expected much more from him but for sure we need to expect the performance... Fusa has an experiment/experience song. Can't wait to see her live.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I think Fusa is more.of a risk. But risks pay off....whilst there are songs that I prefer more than Fusa....if we are thinking about winning Eurovision then this would be better than some of my faves....i totally get that! 💖

It’s interesting to see the reaction of Benidorm from people who doesn’t speak Spanish . Spain should keep an eye on this, because at the end , this people will vote (or not) for the song in Eurovision . There are some really good Spanish songs in Benidorm, but I don’t think, they are for Eurovision. Let’s see the performance , so we can “ judge”the entire package . Cheers !
