Ukraine Festival wins Eurovision and Chanel makes history by reaching third place with its great chanel
The forecasts were fulfilled.
This year it was
impossible to compete against Ukraine
, let's admit it.
The background of solidarity with the people who suffer such atrocious aggression and the unequivocal message against the Russian invasion that the
victory of the Kalush Orchestra
contains goes far beyond the artistic.
But Stefania is also a very competitive song.
And if music is something, it is emotion, and
it was exciting to see this band
compete in the contest in such complicated conditions.
But here what we have to celebrate is the chanelazo.
What a worthy third place!
Blessed are you Chanel among all women
.
There is no space to thank our representative for the hard work she has put in to put together one of the
most perfect performances with which Spain
has participated in the long history of the Eurovision Song Contest.
And above all to underline the quality of the great number that has been marked in the grand finale on the
Pala Alpitour in Turin
.
We have not put on stage the tits of the great Rigoberta Bandini.
But
there have been many ovaries missing.
Today it is a joke that the toxic politics that floods everything in this country so Cainite identified Bandini with feminism and charged Chanel for seeing
sexual objectification and
female subjugation in her song, her style and her interpretation, when what this Saturday has left all of Europe breathless has been a very empowered woman who one saw and only came out yelling at her: ole your pussy!
How
sectarianism blinds us
.
What a missed opportunity, Irene Montero.
Eurovision 2022 has been the most special edition for
all Spanish Eurofans,
probably since Ruth Lorenzo's, a decade ago.
It is true that in between there have been years like those of Alfred and Amaia or Miki who, for everything that moved OT, aroused a lot of interest.
But bringing triumphants to the Festival never ended up being a good idea and those of us who madly love this contest were clear that Spain did not eat a colín.
With Chanel everything has been different
.
And the emotion and illusion that a candidacy worked with the millimeter precision of an athlete has instilled in us is priceless.
Whoever signs this would not have chosen Chanel at the Benidorm Fest.
And even today I am still equally clear that
¡Ay mama!, Rigoberta's anthem, or Terra, by Tanxugueiras
, are better songs than SloMo.
And yet, it is stupid not to admit that the Catalan-Cuban was the best representative for this year.
Because we are facing an artist so great that she has
known how to extract oil
from the subject.
And the three-minute show that she has starred in is extraordinarily difficult -those who said that she danced very well but that she didn't sing shit, ask for an appointment at the ENT doctor- that she solves with the precision, perfection and roundness
that very few are able
seeing himself in a competition of these characteristics.
It can't surprise anyone that the Italian stadium has overturned as it has done to Chanel because every euphoric knows how to pay deserved worship to a diva touched by the divine halo like her.
What a pleasure to act
.
The choreography is very well thought out, with some extraordinary dancers who also have to be applauded.
And good lighting and production design work that have made the Spanish performance undoubtedly the most outstanding of the 25 at night.
This 2022 has been
the great revenge of the so-called Big Five
.
Along with Sweden, which by right should be part of this club of Eurovision privilege, it has been the big countries that have saved an edition with an average quality below that of the last editions.
But just to see what happened in the
United Kingdom, Spain and Italy,
this Festival was worth it.
How deserved the victory of Sam Ryder would have been;
he will forever be the moral winner of 2022. And how good it would have been for the contest if the next edition had been run by the BBC.
In any case, we have once again enjoyed a television night like no other, in which
that feeling of European unity
which, 67 years later, continues to radiate Eurovision, and which takes on a very powerful meaning in a context such as the current one marked by the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and an atrocious war that somehow has awakened all of us Europeans like a blow to innocence.
Good for the presenters.
A pleasure to see the
great Laura Pausini
and that iconic international star that is Mika, accompanied by a figure from Italian television who has proven himself as the great master of ceremonies of the night such as Alessandro Cattelan.
Although we cannot avoid nostalgia and feel a profound sadness thinking that, if she had not left us last year, this Eurovision Song Contest would probably have been presented by one of the greats among the greats,
Raffaella Carrá.
Let us finally underline that this year TVE has done almost everything well with Eurovision, and it is good to recognize it.
The commitment to the Benidorm Fest opens a path that must be consolidated and
serve as a platform
to choose our representatives for many, many years.
Eurovision 2023 starts tomorrow.
Now we have to start thinking about new artists, new songs, new bets.
And it would be good, yes, that in the next Benidorm Fest there is not so much difference between
candidacies as closed
and round as that of Chanel herself and others that presented themselves wrapped in an amateurism that demanded too much polish and reduced their competitiveness.
And long live the mother who gave birth to you, Chanel.
