Spain SPAIN 2025 - Melody - Esa Diva

[ESC United Mod Team]

Is this really what Benidorm Fest was intended to produce? This song could be straight from a low effort internal selection in the 2010s.

Like, it's sad, especially when all other automatic qualifiers are at least decent.

Portuguese middle-aged gays will be voting for this. I am sure.
She will get 7 or 8.

You mean the "yaaaas kweeen"-crowd?

 

[goncalovieira]

Well, last year they only gave .

But last year was a middle-aged (to old) woman without a good voice.

But the performance also clearly targeted a queer audience.

The yass kweeen crowd do appreciate good vocals and ogae has let us know that they do like Spain, could be good for 20 televote points across all of Europe. Does anyone know how they ranked zorra last year.

 

[Mainshow]

Wow. 20 pts now? That would be incredible!

Spain has become a my guilty pleasure this year

 

[ayzelto]

I don’t get how this went from 36th to 17th in the odds. Honestly, how did that happen? This year, I think I’m the least into Eurovision I’ve ever been. None of the songs really catch my attention. Overall, it just feels like a weak year. Honestly, I look at the lineup and I can name so many entries that could easily flop. There just isn’t much that stands out.

About the criticism towards the Spanish entry, I get it, but I think people are making too big a deal out of it. What’s interesting is that while a lot of Eurofans are being critical, here in Spain it feels like a completely different atmosphere. People are actually really into the song, probably the most I’ve seen since Rosa or Beth. The promotion has been everywhere. However, the song isn’t for me either.

I really hope the overall level improves in the next few years, because I’ve been a fan since 2001 and honestly, this year hasn’t really done it for me. It’s just bad overall.

The revamp (I personally hated it) plus her pre party performances

 

[shameless]

I have to say that I cannot get this song out of my head despite immediatly switching it off when it pops up in a short clip. It is that instant hook which might make it a guilty pleasure for many despite being basic AF.

 

[empo21]

i think this will do similarly to other Spanish entries ://

 

[Milos-BC]

can definitely do better than this. Overall, it is bland and too generic for me. I expect it to end between 20th and 26th place.

3 points.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

In televote it'll pick up points from a few countries, nothing spectacular, might get 20 points or so

Melody was on point, maybe I don't really like the "Poderosa!" screaming, but I can overlook that... but just a bit confused of the screening behind. Those ruins are meant to portray her as Greek godness? Please eggs plain*!

 

[theditz83]

I'm just shocked that somehow, I didn't hate this.

Never thought I'd forgive whoever it was that decided adding a basic donk beat was a great revamp, but somehow I found myself enjoying this performance tonight.

It's still a hot mess - not quite the iconic hot mess of Benidormfest which will go down as one of my fave NF performances ever - but Melody is a moment. I see she's drawn first half, so hopefully she doesn't get a death slot and has a change to stand out!

 

[theCONWEL]

I've been so against the revamped version of this song since it was revealed but my god I think Melody gave my favourite performance of the night I think the song has a ceiling results-wise for sure but she's doing everything possible to sell it
