Sometimes the supposedly unimportant acts as a perfect metaphor for the world in which we live. This is the case of Benidorm fees, organized by RTVE to select Spain’s representation in Eurovision. The voting system was mixed: 50% professional jury, 25% demographic votes and 25% telestem. Is what happens in a competition with a certain predilection for the geek relevant? Well, considering the enthusiasm and disappointment it has produced, it has.

Two performances were elevated to popular altars: the trio Tanxugueiras Y Rigoberta Bandini. Both smelled of their own, in truth, of strong and proud women. In the Galician women, one felt the beating of the roots. With Bandini, mothers were honored with special complicity. The former won the popular vote. But the jury’s vote upset the election and Chanel won. Powerful, sexy, very sexy, with little chance of Eurovision and much interest in the music industry. Floating in the air, the feeling that the popular voice was a simple disposable toy and the imposition of stereotypes and prefabricated cultural corsets. A perfect metaphor… and very unattractive. RTVE got excited. It would have been a ten, had it not been for the disappointment.
