Week 83: Eurovision Week 2! #3 - Chanel - SloMo

[@nikolaos9652]

Excellent choreography on this one. And the fact that she was singing almost without break for the duration. Absolutely perfect submission

[@felipejiro1018]

Ahhhh! You can’t imagine how proud we were in Spain and how ecstatic it was to see this and how it was received by other countries during the voting :) Hahaha, the catholicism debate was fun to see. It was very hotly catholic, I agree.

[@benjamintic3653]

Its so ironic how Spain claims her now, even though when she won she recieved daily death threats and was bullied by spanish media. Its interesting to see how things are viewed diferently the second it actually gets popular

[@Dieghitos_94]

To be fair when she won the national selection she was really really hated by Spanish people, she also stated she received a lot of death threats after she won cause it should have been Tanxugueiras time to represent Spain.

[@TheRobiLive]

This is my favorite Eurovision Performance ever! They nailed every part of the Performance. Her dancing and the choreography obviously is amazing, her confidence, the backup dancers, the outfits look fascinating, her singing is great and she's never out of breath, even with all this dancing! Her song and this video have more streams and views than the second and first place from that year and she deserves it. She's the real winner of ESC 2022 and i will never stop loving this Song and Peformance.

The outfit is inspired by bullfighting, the outfits have a short jacket with big shoulders and are covered with shiny golden patterns. Yes they look similar to mexican outfits such as mariachis, those were probably influenced by spanish culture. And those crystals patterns, as a spaniard, they give me matador and feria vibes but also yes! catholic churches! They remind me of those complex and shiny church windows made of tainted glass, with those similar geometrical patterns. It was made by Palomo Spain, a big designer who has worked with people like Beyoncé

Me hace gracia que diga que la influencia de México sobre España y no al reves, y que es una ropa muy católica, para un país tan conservador que ver a una mujer dando la teta es por-ográfico que diga eso me parece de una ignorancia.Tampoco hay mucha inteligencia que resaltar de ese país.

[@wenyaliini]

As a Finn, I would definitely think that Spain is one of the sexiest countries in Europe. Those deep brown eyes and a language that rolls beautifully. Maybe Spanish people would feel differently. I have understood that the blond, blue-eyed Nordic people are also considered beautiful and sexy by some. What I'm most impressed by in this performance is how she can use her voice while dancing HARD the whole time! I'd be out of breath after the first 20 seconds, but she has an impressive dance break and continues doing some equally impressive runs with her voice right after that. Amazing skills and talent.

[@aliciaspain10]

ohhh thanks for your comment...and siiii a nice blond blue eyed Nordic is beautiful for me ;)

[@allenjohnson7686]

When they do react to Iceland 2019 we can do the Hatari quiz: 1. What is the daytime job of the male lead singer? 2. What flag did they wave in Tel Aviv? 3. Did they get a VIP treatment by El Al on the flight home?

[@emmybm15]

It was quite funny because like when we got to the jury scores (the voting is split between 50% jury votes and 50% public) we thought that Chanel wouldn't do well as the jury's are sometimes a bit like a bunch of old fuddy duddys but even THEY couldn't find fault in Chanel's absolutely brilliant performance! like gosh was she great!

[@samroozen6719]

Came for Chanel and got Spanish Catholic Church 😂 but as they say, you never expect Spanish Inquisition 👀

[@andreaalfonso1679]

I loved the Catholic discussion 😂. The outfit is like a "traje de luces", the suits the bullfighters (toreros) use. And I read somewere that shit was soooo heavy. I loved you went for more eurovision. If you are for a surprise, fantasy ride, I have some wild suggestions to make 😂

[@lucasegea1385]

The dress is from Palomo Spain and the jacket is inspired by the traditional outfit from bullfighters/toreros

[@LAUVERLL]

The jacket is a bullfighter that represents the costume of bullfighters from Spain, from bullfighting. Really, a bit of world culture. It makes a nod to our culture. Look and look for a bullfighter's suit. And at the same time it is a beautiful women's sequin suit. What Mexico or what milk. In any case, Mexico imitates Spain as almost everything it has comes from Spain.

[@alvarooConBy]

I am from Spain and I can tell you that when she won Benidorm Fest in 2022 (national final), everyone hated the song, they said that she would end up last in eurovision, but then we all got a surprise

[@juanantoniojimenez927]

The outfit she is wearing resembles the clothing that is worn by matadores in bullfights. The outfit is called "traje de luces" in Spanish. Depending on the role while fighting in the arena the clothing is more or less ornated. There are 3 different roles: picador, banderillo and matador. The matador usually is the most decorated one.

[@e.o.9094]

In terms of aesthetics I would choose Italy as the country with the most beautiful people in Europe (not all of them of course), and also Sweden for female beauty. But in terms of sexiness or attractiveness I would definitely choose Spain as the place to find it for both male and female.

[@stevoboss1074]

Thanks guys! This made my day :) I don't think the Catholic church would approve of this dress lol - It was matador-inspired though.

[@Camilof1974]

The outfit is inspired in the Matador outfit ( torero in spanish). The decoration of the outifit may seem like the Charro ( typical mexican singers, like the boy in the movie Coco ), i had never realized they were similar

[@Lxz3]

Hi! The suit she wears is inspired by how bullfighters (toreros) dress. What they wear is called “traje de luces” (suit of lights) which has a jacket called “torera”. That's the jacket Chanel wears in her performance. It seems Mexican to you because Mexican culture is very influenced by Spanish culture and mariachi costumes are inspired by Spanish costumes.

[@tommypicklez8285]

The outfit is inspired by Spanish bullfighters, in Spanish that type of jacket is called a Torera, which literally translates to “bullfighter/matador”

Some interval acts of Eurovision are worth rating too. I give you a suggestion to start with: Diodato (2022, do read about the back story of this song), from 2021 Davina Michelle and/or Afrojack + Wulf + Glennis Grace, Madonna (2019, not from her own channel!) and Riverdance (1994).

[@Haghenveien]

Well, there's actually a Catholic component because matador oufits and the robes of our Virgins, you know that we have statues of the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and the Saints, have very similar inspiration, and usually the brodery in made by the same people. Also, here in Spain, in general, modesty is not something that Catholics would focus in that much, if at all. I grew up Catholic, for example, going to mass every sunday, years and years of catechesis. Not a single comment on the topic. Actually, in Spanish the word modesty (modestia) translates as humility, and has nothing to do with the lenght of someone's skirt. So if there's any reference in the Bible about being modest, we just take it as being humble. Fun fact, we have this say that we use when someone is debating in their outfit might be a little too reveling that more or less goes like : "What worms are going to eat (in reference to the body), let Christians enjoy it" .
