She is a television cracker.

The reason is none other than the possibility - the real possibility - that the artist will bring the coveted Eurovision glass

Blanca Paloma flies high to the final of the Benidorm Fest after an unmitigated victory

So when

entered the set of

last night with that hand in motion and that

it was very difficult for

not to fall into the net into which so many have already fallen.

It's no secret that

doesn't like dancing.

He is not good at it and every time a guest goes, as happens every time Cristina Pedroche comes, which makes him go off script and shake his skeleton, the presenter suffers.

I won't tell you if what is playing is flamenco or, as

wanted to make clear last night , "something else".

Fear was not only felt by

.

Blanca Paloma, the 'bicimami'

"I have to tell you that I got a little scared" ,

blurted out after

's entrance through bulerías

and the attempt to coordinate an accompaniment step.

"I have a lot of respect for people who dance and sing flamenco well," the presenter explained.

Oops, watch out!

walks with lead feet and even more so when talking about flamenco.

doesn't want what has already happened with

to happen to her, that nobody get angry, that flamenco people don't believe that what she does doesn't deserve to receive that name.

"I am many things besides flamenco",

wanted to make it clear from the beginning and just in case.

"The

can be the one to rock or the one to make a fuss. And it has a lot of folklore and we have brought it to this new flamenco, although I have a lot of respect for it. We don't put the word flamenco in and that way they don't get angry. Let's have the party in

".

Lead feet, many lead feet.

Because as much as in this edition of the

the only controversy has been the 'haters' and what that pressure from social networks means for those chosen, then comes another: to like or not to like and to compare or not to compare .

And

does not hide or avoid it.

He knows that his

has been compared to

, he knows that just like what happened to the Catalan artist, the new flamenco thing opens wounds and, just in case, what can be avoided is avoided -"flamenco as such is something else - and what one can face, one faces.

Blanca Paloma

did not want to bother that flamenco and repeated it to

at the beginning of the interview on several occasions.

However, the fact that he looks too much like

, to the face.

"Of course my life has changed. I go by subway and they recognize me, so now I go everywhere by bike, although I did that before because I am the 'bicimami'."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Just in case.

It was not even necessary for

to put it on the table.

Recadito with perennial smile.

Yes,

.

You have to have a lot of tables or have prepared a lot for the tsunami that has only just begun and know how to get out with this art.

That is also valid and a lot when you are going to face

.

"Do you think that the success of Rosalía can help your subject to be better understood in Liverpool?"

had put

to the egg .

But she also knew how to respond: "Of course, she and other artists who have taken flamenco all over the world and have made it heard to understand it".

The value of Blanca Paloma in El Hormiguero

He could say it louder, but not clearer.

Five minutes into the interview and

had already got rid of probably the most uncomfortable question to answer.

But just in case there was any doubt that the choice of

to represent Spain in

has a good chance of making history, the artist wanted to make it clear that the

is not shouting, as she has been criticized, and that the

"is so different that it is the first Eurovision song with a bulería compás".

And por bulerías she broke into a performance for voice and guitar that

had prepared in 24 hours.

For those who have doubts.

You have to be brave for a while.

They compare her with Rosalía, but also with

and the one Who drives my boat that left Spain with zero points in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest tied with Turkey.

"Remedios was ahead of his time, but I get on Remedios's boat and with great pride."

.

Any more?

There were not going to be many more, but the culmination was the performance and, above all, the ease of a

who, although she has been preparing for years, is a rookie in being a new star: "I have worked longer behind. the scenarios before but once you try the scenarios you realize that this is where all the freedom with which I want to express myself resides, there is no turning back".

Three months of preparation for a three-minute performance,

pointed out when

asked her who pays for

and if there is a limit on companions.

"There is a very limited limit," confessed

, who also prayed that she hoped that

would not cost her more money because she has already spent a lot to get to where she has come.

"I'm psyched for everything," she insisted several times.

"It motivates me a lot. My eye is on Spain after what she did," she acknowledged about Chanel's performance at Eurovision 2022. "I am very satisfied with the staging we bring and I think it is already well received

"

Just as

has been aware of the comparisons and also of the criticism,

fans in Europe have welcomed her

De ella

with more than open arms .

Blanca Paloma

goes all out on stage and off it.

As she said at the end of the interview, in her house, in the place that television should occupy, there is no silly box.

There are plants, there is Grandma Carmen's shirt, who is honored by the

, and there is the wall, white, with nothing, "like a blank page to be able to project."
