Spain 2025: Melody - Esa Diva

What's the gist?
Alejandro Abad, who represented Spain and wrote another couple of songs for Spain, uploaded a series of tiktok videos that went viral where he exposéd the guy who co-wrote Q. Conmigo with G:son, and who has been in the comitee of preselection since the beginning of BF. Apparently he has blacklisted artists, songwritters and more. G:son was not even one of the original writers of Esa Diva (this is all said by A. Abad). There is a lot more but I don't think you have words for such a level of mess. A few days later José Pablo, director of RTVE, said things are about to change next year in the process of selecting songs; it can't be a coincidence. A. Abad says more outrageous things, but I can't be bothered, you get the idea.

Well don't tell me, this has been such a scandal in the Spanish Eurovision bubble, that I thought people that breathe and live for Eurovision would know, and there are a few of them here. The animosity I got here in the last 24 hours for no reason, why? I had to block someone yesterday because I don't want to read an unpleasant and full of himself person giving me shit for no reason. I forgot about this place for months, and surely if I didn't end up in a hospital for 2 weeks I wouldn't even logged in here due to extreme boredom. I don't get why I'm perceived like a joke now...:square: I don' like the feeling, but I'm back to my normal life next week, so whatever. x
 
I checked and it turns out the calls are coming from RTVE! :shock:
 
Oh good they haven’t messed with the structure just added some oomph to the production.
 
Standing by my judgement of 5 points from the juries, 125 points from the public
 
Well… as expected, it’s considerably worse.

Usually I’m in favour of the “just put a donk on it” approach but I don’t think it’s served them well here.

But at least it’s substantially the same song so I’d imagine I’ll warm up to it eventually.
 
Thomas G:son et. al. confirmed DEAD

I say that with full acceptance based on online reaction that the UK is also a lock for bottom 5 - if that's any consolation :D
 
I love how the final shot makes it look like she’s just been told to sashay away on RuPaul’s Drag Race :D
 
I think that sounds even better! Can’t tell how it’s going to do but think it will be their best result since Chanel.
 
I think it’s fine. There’s almost always a knee-jerk against revamps, but it’s really not that radically different and I do think it sounds more live performance-focused now.

The Diva! Diva! backing vocals that kick in halfway through are very Dana International. :disco:
 
I think she should have played around with repeatedly changing the tempo in the remix. That would make it fresh and contemporary and not all an unlistenable gimmick.
