Finally it starts: the old, new Benidorm - the Spanish preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin.Although the aligning television broadcaster RTVE of the ACT, Luna Ki, has broken away, but both your favorites Tanxugueiras and Azúcar Moreno (picture image) have to be done in the first semi -finals.Which four of the six acts get the tickets for the final on Saturday evening?You can see the show here.We blog for you live from 10:40 p.m..
Such a result must be celebrated and moving.It's good that there is the Hymn of the Benidorm Festival.She is entitled "Vita Est", was composed by the musician Pepe Herrero and listed by the RTVE orchestra and choir.It is a symphonic piece that is inspired by classic topics like "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" and was combined with large modern compositions by composers such as Hans Zimmer."An epic soundtrack, the aim of which is to overcome borders and generations."
So back to the realities.There were 886 submissions for the 2022 Foundation.From this, fourteen contributions and acts were selected, which now make up in two semi -final among themselves, which will see and hear in the final on Saturday.The or.The winner then has the honor of representing Spain at the ESC.
Seven songs should actually take part in the first semi -finals.However, Luna Ki withdrew her contribution because she is not allowed to use a autotune in Benidormer Palau Lilla.So we will only hear six songs.These are:
- Varry Brava – Raffaella
- Azúcar Moreno – Postureo
- Blanca Paloma – Secreto de agua
- Unique – Mejores
- Tanxugueiras – Terra
- Chanel SloMo
Alaska, Inés Hernand and Máximo Huerta lead through the programs.
When determining the qualifiers, Spanish television does not make it very easy for us.There is a jury (50%), a demoscopic panel (25%) and the televoting (25%).The exact voting procedure can be read here.
The question remains who the five jurors are: Estefanía García (coordinator of the RTVE Orchestra and Chores), Felix Bergsson (head of the Icelandic ESC delegation), Marvin Dietmann (choreographer, who staged the appearance of Blas Cantó last year), Miryam Benedited (choreographer) and Natalia Calderón (singer, actress and vocal coach).
These are your favorites for the first semi -finals.
Which four acts should progress in the first semi of the Benidorm Fest 2022?
Total voters: 267
Loading ...And here you can hear all the songs of the Benidorm Fest 2022 in continuous loop.
The show starts at 10:40 p.m. and should be over at 11:55 p.m..Click here for the live stream.Before, during and after the show you can comment on the events under this post.
¡Buenas nukes Desde Benidorm!Spanish television today only knows one topic: the Benidorm Festival.And rightly.Earlier, Karina showed us her home in Jaén in a show at 8 p.m..Now there is still a report with funny ESC recorders from the ESC. „Locos por eurovisión, grandes éxitos" – heißt es in der Programmankündigung.That is not a lie.Splendid!
By the way, I'm really in Benidorm.I have been here late in the evening since yesterday.Here are some impressions from the city.I will continue to fill the next few days.But I can't promise that I will get in touch with the acts.For this, Spanish television should have reacted to my accreditional inquiries ...
So the program of the show brings me in the mood.So many hits to sing along and hum in.Is that also what ARD understands by an ESC day?
So, we are already over time and there are still Amaia and Alfred to see.A love story ... which unfortunately is also over (if I am properly informed).Now the end is announced.Then it is switched live according to Benidorm.
The festival begins with short statements of the candidate.The Primera Semifinal starts without applause - but after greeting it comes from the moderator.The audience sits and everyone wears mask.Moderator Máximo briefly explains the rules and welcomes moderator Alaska. Für sie gilt „Mehr ist mehr".She is right!She welcomes the juror.In German also Marvin Dietmann.
Inés Hernand is greeted and reports from the Greenroom, which is still empty-and pink (as she says, I find it more ocher-orange).She promises comparatively frequently when explaining the demoscopic jury.
There are basically only men in the audience.This is not surprising, after all the cards were distributed to the ESC fan clubs.Máximo leads to Varry Brava.You will be presented in a short video.Her song was inspired by the late Raffaella Carrà.
There is no start number 1.
2.Varry Brava - Raffaella
The performance begins in black and white.The singer wears a sack -like coat of crocodile, hat and sunglasses.It becomes a chorus and all three band members carry red-light disco outfits.The stage is also very red-and there are disco balls.It is fun and is a good start.We are musically here in the disco-pop swing, whereby the stanzas also include speech singing.Haha, an overhead keyboard-of course also in red.Great!Wonderfully crazy.The vocals are decent or.sufficient.
I am biased and give 7 points (from 10)
After the appearance there is a short player with reference to the possible participation in the ESC.Then Alaska and Inés register and announce the next act.
3.Azúcar Moreno - Postureo
Flamenco-like picture at the start.The two singers in black and white.To the chorus, leave your little podcast and come to the edge of the stage.In the background they have four dancers in black.I didn't find the deep vocals in the stanza so convincingly now.The chorus is of course stirring and the two shine.The backdrop with the two women's shadows during the bridge is great.A real eye -catcher.As a performance, the song gives me more joy than as a pure audio version.
7 points
4.Blanca Paloma - Secreto de Agua
Oh, it starts dark.Then comes a headlight and you can see Agua on the floor.The singer is in white on that.The dress is partly at your feet.Now dramatic white light comes from the background.Marvin Dietmann should open the heart.And the wind machine also for the chorus.Yeah!Blanca works nicely with her arms.That gives the scene applause after the chorus.The vocals are truly artistic.She also has a charisma.Musically not my cup of tea, but I have to say that in combination what can.The total with the headlights is a bit of a dolle ESC in Ireland in the 1980s.
8 points
I may have got a little too high with the first points.
5.Unique - Mejores
A wing on stage.The boys are dressed in black.Shortly after the start it gets faster and the singers come dancing on the stage.The vocals are not sitting at every moment.The color bags from Jendrik are used for the chorus.OJ, here the show is really better than the singing.The song already has weaknesses (and I say that that has a soft spot for this kind of music).The best is the pre-chorus.The synchront dance is of course great.What?!A gay kiss and then also pyro technology.My God, they really give everything.
6 points
It continues with the big favorites.
6.Tanxugueiras - Terra
Mystical start in orange-yellow.The singers in black come out of a pedestal and then go to their microphone tripods.There are upper body -free dancers with skirts for the chorus.Of course, this evaluates that.The Tamborines are passed on.The gold leaf was generously distributed to the artist's freely accessible parts of the body on stage.So I think that the two dancers succeed in enthusiastic about the song.However, the singers manage to transport their likeable, latent aggressiveness.
Persönlich: 10 points für die Tänzer, 3 Punkte für den SongGrundsätzlich: 8 points
And already comes the last post.
7.Chanel - Slomo
Red-carpet situation.And again dancers without shirts.They were probably off.But the singer also makes a real show.This is even a big show.Flickering black light is added to the chorus.A lot happens there.And honestly: that's really professional.The singing fluctuates something through the whole.But she is really a pro and has great charisma.So Latino-Pop can work without being too greasy.Horny dance!Ms. Foureira would be jealous.Love it!And I say that, although the song was not a favorite of me.Hammer!That screams Eurovision in the best sense.

Sí, Estoy Flipando!So for me it is clear: Chanel it is.Now the telephone vote is opened.Now it can be coordinated for 15 minutes.There is a quick run.
Colleague Benny has already written it in the comments: Spanish television really put on a great selection.And these were all finished numbers in which many ideas, money and work flowed.In addition a decent musical range.You want that for the German preliminary decision.
As a break act, Salvador is Sobral in Benidorm.He sits calmly on the wing and sings in Portuguese.And that fervently.Would he have won the ESC with it?And then it was over. Und er sagt noch „Viva las gallegas".He probably has clear favorites.
Inés leads interviews in the greenroom.Blanca Paloma's sister is also there.She was already for Spain at Junior ESC (if I understood it correctly).And another quick run.
Ok, I'll tap: the men fly out (Varry Brava and Unique).Except the dancers, we see them again on Saturday.
The vote is over. Es folgt ein weiterer Act: Marlon singt „De perreo".The appearance is a classic band situation.Perhaps a little more authentic and also well sung, but not quite as entertaining as the competitive contributions.
The juror have coordinated individually.Now we will find out the sum:
Chanel 55 PunkteBlanca Paloma 41 PunkteVarry Brava 39 PunkteAzúcar Moreno 39 PunkteTanxugueiras 38 pointsUnique 28 points
It is boowed in the audience.Tanxugueiras would be just out.
Now comes the demoscopic vote.This is exciting.
Azúcar Moreno 18 pointsBlanca Paloma 20 PunkteTanxugueiras 25 PunkteChanel 30 PunkteVarry Brava 15 PunkteUnique 12 Punkte
I lie down with my taste quite well.
Now the last 25% come from the televoting.Chanel is likely to be in the final.
Blanca Paloma 18 pointsVarry Brava 20 PunkteChanel 25 PunkteTanxugueiras 30 Punkte
For me now the transmission stalls.Azúcar Moreno received very few points from televoting and are out with a total of 69 points.Unique have only reached 55 points in total and must also leave the festival.
In the final, Chanel, Tanxugueiras, Blanca Palomund Varry Brava are.Congratulations!
The four contributions that have qualified for the final are briefly allocated, then the credits come.After this exciting and somewhat surprising decision, the second semi -finals will continue tomorrow at 10:40 p.m..We will then be there again with a live blog for you.
Of course we also talk about the Benidorm Fest on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in our ESC compact live.
