Final of the Benidorm Fest: the duel between breasts and tambourines was a matter of hips

  • The expected fight between Rigoberta Bandini and Tanxugueiras was not like that, and in the end, Chanel and her live ‘SloMo’ won the day, which was the favorite of the professional jury’s casting vote.

It was a little over two months before he was born Chanel Terrero when, on May 4, 1991, sergio dalma assaulted the legendary Cinecittà studios in Rome with the scorching hyperballad ‘Bailar pegados’. That song, on fire with passion, “embraced to the beat, without ever separating your body from my body”, ends in a formidable fourth position, a Eurovision milestone that has since been only enhanced by the now-forgotten Anabel Conde, second in 1995 with ‘Vuelve conmigo. Since then, the disaster and emptiness, the blow and the hassle: of the last 16 issues of the festival, the representative of RTVE was on 12 occasions behind the 20th position, including the last position of Manuel Navarro with the unrepeatable symphony of roosters and memes ‘Do it for your lover’ in 2017.

This short journey to the clouds of the past comes to me to look at the present and the future with a certain ray of light, thanks to the dazzling Chanel and her song ‘SloMo’, that sounding “ready to break hips, break hearts” & rdquor; who will represent Spain in Eurovision on May 14 in Turin, and which already today elevates the Catalan artist of Cuban origin to the category of new ‘queen of the fan’, a worthy successor to icons of tear and tear like Eleni Foureira or Helena Paparizou. Through the initial predictions that dared a duel in the sun (from Benidorm) between ‘Ay mama’, Rigoberta Bandini’s national anthem on the female body, and ‘Terra’, Tanxugueiras’ telluric anti-border appeal, the young singer of Olesa de Montserrat shook her hips more and better than anyone to conquer, among unpleasant cries of “tongo”, the Benidorm Fest, from where it was taken, in addition to the bronze microphone for the winner, the precious ticket to Turin, the Italian city where the 66th edition of Eurovision will be held.

Jury delivered to Chanel

The duel between breasts and tambourines was ultimately a matter of hips. The controversial professional jury, which put the Tanxugueiras congregation at war in the first semi-final by trimming them and dropping out of the four finalists, already had its penchant for the first day the vibrant Latin freshness of Chanel, and this Saturday they repeated their pampering by awarding 51 points to Rigoberta Bandini’s 46 and Tanxugueiras’ uncertain 30, which kept them from any hint of glory. The voice of the demographic jury was missing, those 350 people selected by RTVE as a sample of the entire Spanish population, and the lifelong telecommunications vote, but given the excessive weight of the professional jury, which accounted for 50% of the voices, it started to create the impression that the surprise was about to jump: Eurovision, yes, I started smelling like Chanel.

The two modalities of the popular vote surrendered to Tanxugueiras, but the gap was already too big and they had to settle for third place with 90 points, behind Rigoberta Bandini, with 91, who ultimately did not win in any of the three juries. not and gave. with only five points behind Chanel. There was shouting at the Palau Municipal d’Esports L’Illa de Benidorm against the decision, probably because ‘Ag ma’ It would have been the best and bravest song sent to Eurovision by RTVE in centuries, both for that euphoric Eurodance refrain reminiscent of the glorious ‘Divine’ with which Sébastien Tellier represented France in 2008, and for the kilotons of vengeful power of his exaltation of femininity. Or why ‘Terra’, and its powerful anti-border play to the tune of a tambourine, was a daring multicultural proposition in times of gloomy uniformity.

The point is that the victory of ‘SloMo’, impeccable and refreshing example of dembow, was received by the audience on the set with sad cries against it. The soulless appearance at the end of Blas Cantó, the last participant in Eurovision and in charge of handing over the trophy to the winner, was buried by the cries of “Rigoberta, Rigoberta & rdquor; and “Tanxugueiras, Tanxugueiras.” The public, like the country in general, was polarized to the tension between Rigo and the Tanxu, without realizing that, without them in dance, Chanel and ‘SloMo’ will be the best and most effective proposal RTVE has sent to Eurovision for a long, long time, equipped with a powerful international calling and a wonderful sense of entertainment, highly professional and well worked in the laboratories. “You like everything I have. I sweeten your face in mango juice. It shoots up when I turn it on. To the end, I do not stop.” Beware Turin, Chanel is coming.
