Spain: Benidorm-Fest is going to start! (UPDATE)

Finally the moment has come: the pretentious Spanish National Final Benidorm-Fest will have it’s start. The show starts at 22.40 CET and you can watch it here. Seven songs were supposed to be performed in both semifinals. However, Luna Ki decided to withdraw as Spanish tv, RTVE, didn’t allow her to use autotune in the contest. From both semifinals the top-4 will go through to the final upcoming saturday.

The songs of tonight’s semifinal are:

  1. Varry Brava, “Raffaella” (74 pts, 4th)
  2. Azúcar Moreno, “Postureo” (69 pts. 5th)
  3. Blanca Paloma, “Secreto de agua” (79 pts., 3rd)
  4. Unique, “Mejores” (55 pts., 6th)
  5. Tanxugueirras, “Terra” (93 pts., 2nd)
  6. Chanel, “SloMo” (110 pts., 1st)

The finalists are in bold letters.

Azücar Moreno represented Spain in the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest and became 5th with “Bandido”. They got stuck in every Eurofan’s memory as they walked off the stage; the backing tape didn’t match with the orchestra. They were allowed to start anew.

Dutch broadcaster delays decision on participation

The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has been allowed to delay their decision about participating in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organizes Eurovision, has given them until at least November 1 to decide. AVROTROS explained that a meeting with the EBU’s leadership has started a positive conversation. To give this conversation a chance, they asked for more time to decide if they will participate. The EBU agreed to this delay, and AVROTROS is thankful for it. The broadcaster started questioning their participation after the EBU disqualified Dutch artist Joost Klein from this year’s Eurovision final in Malmö, Sweden. Klein had an argument with a camerawoman, which led to his disqualification. AVROTROS disagreed with the EBU’s decision. Recently, Swedish authorities closed the case, saying there wasn’t enough evidence. Next year’s Eurovision will take place in May in Basel, Switzerland. The EBU hopes that the Netherlands will take part and plans to announce the list of participating countries by the end of the year. Share
