St. Pedro (164 factors), María Peláe (131 factors), Jorge González (122 factors) and Almácor (115 factors) are the 4 artists who full the record of eight finalists for Benidorm Fest 2024. They will compete this Saturday alongside the categorized on Tuesday, Nebulossa, Angy Fernández, Sofia Coll and Miss Caffeina, in a gala that will likely be broadcast stay on La 1 (22.05), for profitable the Alicante contest and representing Spain within the Eurovision Song Contest this May in Malmö ( Sweden). From this gala will come the successor proposal of SloMo from Chanel and Hey by Blanca Paloma.

The canary St. Pedro is positioned within the shortlist of favorites. He has opted for minimalism to defend Two Strangers (String Quartet), one of many favourite candidates for months. It is a traditional bolero that, along with the cautious string preparations that announce its title, provides a extra elegant Latin jazz piano and an efficient vocal efficiency.

María Peláe has returned to “spread potatoes” with Sender, model of one of many songs from his newest album, however the shadow of the Hey of Blanca Paloma and her poor analysis within the Liverpool televote final yr. Her music got here in second place this Thursday, thanks above all to the help of the skilled jury on the gala offered by Ruth Lorenzo, Marc Calderó and Ana Prada.

Jorge González has taken his harem of dancers to a sauna to defend Caliente. As has occurred different occasions on the Benidorm Fest, as soon as once more a strong staging has promoted a music that’s not present and never very unique, which seems like Ricky Martin from 15 or 20 years in the past. His harem would most likely be bigger if it weren't for the truth that European laws prohibit it. Although jurists have spent months debating whether or not the European Union would block Puigdemont's complicated amnesty, for the actually necessary issues, every little thing is far more tied up. For greater than half a century, the EBU has restricted the variety of folks on stage throughout a Eurovision efficiency. More than six is ​​an orgy. It's not allowed. The low rating given to him by the skilled jury has generated so many boos within the Alicante venue that its spokesperson, Beatriz Luengo, has gone into Buika mode to silence the protests.

In this version, Almácor is the consultant of the modern style, quevedismo, with Platinum glitters and a staging designed for tv. With its flaws, his proposal has many issues that, for instance, will not be present in Omar Montes' songs: diction, reasonably intoned stay voice (which was heard a lot better stay than in his broadcast, in an odd impact of autotune reverse that the RTVE galas are having) and a refrain. One that can be catchy. His music is appropriate for every little thing, for the Los 40 Urban radio system, for Eurovision and as a soundtrack for the preliminaries within the subsequent horns of The island of temptations.

After the afternoon rehearsals, the sensation conveyed by the specialised press was that we have been in a second semi-final that was extra aggressive than the primary, which has meant that one of many favorites, Marlena, was unnoticed of the final eight candidates, as was Yoly. Saa, Roger Padrós and Dellacruz. It's been an amazing week for lesbian visibility. So a lot in order that he died of success. As Eva Güimil superior this Tuesday, the lesbian vote has had its work piled up. He's too busy saving Chiara from being eradicated. Triumph operation in addition to to additionally help their many representatives on the Benidorm Fest: Peláe, Yoly Saa and Marlena on this second semi-final. Even Dulceida was centered on Saving Chiara in her tales from her Instagram whereas Ana Legazpi sang “And we will give ourselves a viral kiss” on Summer Love by Marlena. Legazpi has taken benefit of his 30 seconds of speech on TVE to ask for a vote for the contestant of the Prime Video program. And the general public has listened to her and positioned her music in penultimate place within the televoting on the Benidorm Fest.

The analysis of the skilled jury is value 50% within the three galas on this version. The different half falls on the general public vote, though on this case it’s divided into two: 25% corresponds to the demoscopic jury – a statistical number of 350 those who represents the Spanish inhabitants – and 25% relies on televoting, that’s, of the messages and cellphone calls made by viewers of stay galas.
