Carlos Higes gave a powerful performance to represent Spain in the grand final of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022. The moment highlighted a rising star who had already shined as a finalist on La voz kids. His song Miss, a bright and catchy pop track co written by Carlos Higes, Will Taylor, Primoz Poglajen, and Michael James Down, became a three minute celebration that made audiences across Europe want to dance along.
On stage, a modern staging approach used a lush palette of green, magenta, and blue neon lighting. Carlos was surrounded by four dancers, Mauro, Felipe, Juan Diego, and Adrián, all dressed in white to emphasize the boyband vibe of the performance.
With fourteen cameras rolling and a dynamic setup that included roughly seventy aerial and ground shots, the Spanish entry blended slower, emotive transitions on the bridge with rapid, energetic moves in other sections. The production incorporated split screen effects and six animated dancers that joined Carlos and the stage dancers, adding depth and motion to the live visuals. The result painted a vibrant and engaging story that carried the audience through the three minute showcase.
