Spain SPAIN 2023 - Blanca Paloma - Eaea

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Kicker]

Seems like we finally need to accept that Flamenco does not work in Europe. This is probably the most devastating result for Spain in the last 20 years... I absolutely did not see this coming.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Spain got absolutely disrespected tonight. Good grief.

 

[soulm8]

She was quite original, not everyone’s cup of tea though!

 

[NeoTen]

You know, in a Latin Eurovision, this would probably win.

I just say, bring Ruth Lorenzo back. That song. Damn still gives me goosebumps. Just go bilingual. But Blanca, she did well, do not forget that.

 

[Nicholas123]

Really surprised to see such a low t/v score. We all knew it would't be the most accessible entry for the public but that was shocking to me. I really loved this year, i wish you better luck in 2024

 

[Arion]

This was my 12 in the final.
Spain deserved better.

 

[Zeus]

Too sophisticated for Eurovision, too difficult, not catchy enough etc. I'm sorry for Spain.

Televotes yeah well okay but the juries really didn't do their job. What the hell was that? Israel and all? Are they kids or what?

Anyways, she can be proud, it was a great performance. Just forget about Eurovision, you deserve a better public.

It's not an immediate song.
I had 14 people watching the final and all agreed that the song was somehow unpleasant and disturbing.
But 5 points from the televote is really shocking

 

[cegs5]

When I heard 5 points it was a weird mix of disappointment and relief for not being zero.

 

[Uto]

They are industry plants. They are not kids, but they are marketeers who sell things to kids. So yeah, essentially same argument. Kick commercialism out of ESC. We need proper Marxists sitting there who seek to uplift the proletariat.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

Would Agoney have done better? Not convinced he would have.

 

[Leydan]

Surprised it was last but the televote score was predictable. Called it when she won Benidorm Fest, and songs like this my record isn't too shabby. Still a decent jury score though

 

[JenJen94]

One of the best vocals of the final, a thoroughly moving performance (I was crying all the way through it), and yet last in televote and tanked by the juries, not a single 12? For me, the biggest robbery of the night, absolutely deserved better than she did. She was my no 2

I'm pretty shocked. I knew it was divisive as an entry but I didn't realise it was THIS divisive.

Spot on! Insane really

 

[Mainshow]

I expected this song to finish Bottom 5 in the televoting but LAST?! -That was a huge surprise!

Her performance was absolutely mesmerising and she nailed it (vocally).
Unfortunately, the song was not accessible and very unpleasant to listen to (especially for foreigners - if they listen to it for the first time). It was my #36 this year and no one liked it in my family, either

I wish it got a higher result, though - since it was progressive, original, emotional and well-staged!

Really sad that one of my faves got dead last in televote. I blame bad karmas from the toxicity of fans all last year.

 

[lacrymea]

I never saw this coming. Totally undeserved. gave it 3 televote points, don't know where the remaining 2 come from.

I think it might very well be the rest of the world vote
