Bitch He emerges victorious in a final where nothing can be decided. The top lines were very close, and a collapse in one of the three sections that make up the voting could have determined who would win the Bronze Mic. She will represent Spain at the 2024 International Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö.
4 names started as main favorites with different offers. Jorge González surprised everyone with his staging reminiscent of a Chanel explosion in the semi-finals. Slow motionwith the theme – filling the gap – Hot. This clashed head-on with minimalism. st. Peter leading most of the rankings Two foreignersor he scared away all his inner ghosts with the more rock-oriented Angy Fernández. I know who I am.
However, there was one offer that stunned Eurofans from the first moment. Nebulossa managed to put the term Bitch a whole-of-society campaign rising up in heaven to demand a feminism that is as effective as it is empowering. It was described in this newspaper as “wrinkly feminism” because it is often the youngest voices that send such messages to the world. But María Bas created a new way to amplify the sound, adding elegance to the banality of the word.
Regardless, if there’s one thing Benidorm Fest has made clear to us in other editions, it’s that virality doesn’t give you victory, it just gives you a further level of influence that doesn’t have to be reciprocated with votes. When we look back, we can remember cases similar to those of Rigoberta Bandini. oh mom or with Vicco Night lightTheir songs continue to be heard and recognized on every stage they step on today, but it was not enough to buy a ticket. directly to Eurovision. However, this was not the case for Nebulossa, who managed to defy all theories and won the Bronze Microphone, which gave direct access to Malmö.
Although more than four offers were discussed, the finale is a matter of eight artists, and María Peláe, Almácor, Miss Caffeina and Sofia Coll were not going to make it any easier. While María Peláe and Miss Caffeina tried to show why they are among the most important artists of the Spanish industry in different fields, Villenero Almácor and Sofia Coll’s task was to dispel doubts. They give a completely clean performance, both vocally and on stage.
grand final
Blanca Paloma from Elche was asked to start the final gala of the Benidorm Festival once again with the song of María Peláe, in the entry order draw, which she performed as an innocent hand. Sender. If there’s anything Malagueña shows on stage, it’s her confidence and ability to tell stories through her music. Exactly showing the determination to bring back the national flamenco folklore to Eurovision, this song is a song with a clear social message, talking about freedom and the fear of losing it. The problem wasn’t María Peláe. Nor does the composition he performs have what it takes to become a classic in his discography. The real downside was that we had just sent it. Eaea last yearand Eurovision needed a different chosen song.
The next person to take the stage is Born in Tenerife, St. Pedro. It was the most different of the offerings that took place on the Palau d’Esports l’Illa stage in Benidorm. She is a rose and a black stage that adds more intensity to her performance. Bolero Two foreigners Far from being boring, he continued to display a minimalism that took his performance to a whole new level.
She’s the exact opposite of Angy, who manages to leave her inner ghosts behind on stage for the second time this week. It’s a punch mixed with commentary from an artist who knows a little bit about the subject. Thanks to his strong build, he managed to show his two natural sides and claim his return to music in style. I know who I am. He had already revealed that he felt like a winner being here, but that wasn’t enough for an artist who has been in the industry for so long and has a supportive fan base.
But if this grand final did anything, it was to confirm the accuracy of the bet. Implicit at first, Jorge González was serious. Both she and her dancers found the courage to reproduce the complex choreography throughout the song with a smile on their faces. And Jorge’s voice never faltered, which added something extra to his show.
When the Ondara duo took the stage, the audience went crazy. Nebulossa has once again shown its elegant pretensions through pop with synthesizers that can transport the audience through time. The change they made with their previous crossover was the interior, where they managed to enjoy the experience of facing this challenge even more.
The person who should have paid the most attention to her performance was Sofia Coll, who was trying to correct the imbalances she experienced in her last performance. This development was not enough and the artist failed to deceive the public. It was Ms. Caffeina who didn’t have to prove anything. Your theme Dot dot dot It sounded good at first glance, the only downside was the song itself, it didn’t connect with the audience (although it did connect with the judges). In this second appearance in Benidorm they maintained their dedication and reproduced their performance with the ease that comes with experience.
The controversial point of the night would come with Almácor. All eyes were on him, and so were all ears. But the pressure didn’t weigh on him and he made arguably his best pass to date. He was always seen adrift on stage, in great complicity with his friends. platinum sparkles and the people knew how to appreciate his devotion. But a mistake in the broadcast did not reveal all the potential that the villain wanted to reveal in special effects for the audience.
moment of truth
Because the night was all about knowing which bid is best suited to represent Spain at Eurovision. To discover this, It was necessary to verify whether the impact that Sofia Coll and Almácor had on television viewers in their respective semi-finals would change. in the grand final.
Both proposals failed to make the necessary impact on the home crowd, and perseverance meant that Nebulossa managed to win the Benidorm Festival. Even though the jury had an equal vote, St. Pedro could not keep up with a far-reaching proposal. Jorge González, on the other hand, continued to be punished by the jury, which did not accept his “fire”.. If there is one thing that is clear at Benidorm Fest, it is that the jury’s vote is very important.
With all this, Alicante repeats its Eurovision representation for another year, following Blanca Paloma’s flight in Liverpool. Moreover, He was responsible for presenting the prize to the winner of “De la terrera”. The next stop on the Ondara calendar is Sweden on May 11.
