I’m a big fan of songs in Spanish, so I always expect Spain to come up with a song that will to finally conquer Europe. I was glad when they decided on the internal selection of their representative. Blas Cantó got a chance this year to represent Spain with the song Voy a quedarme.
It is a beautiful ballad with beautiful lyrics, which has an even greater beauty precisely because it is sung in Spanish. However, the song did not leave a big impression on me. It’s missing some x-factor in it.
Maybe it’s just my impression considering I know a wide opus of Spanish musicians and that’s why I’m sad that strong and quality songs don’t come to the Eurovision Song Contest.
I think Spain can really win after many years but not with this song. Blas Cantó is a great singer. The song Universo is was a far better choice, it had immediately entered my ear, I think it would have stood out in the competition.
I really wish Spain all the best in the competition and I hope that in the near future a real hit song will appear which will bring them to the top of Europe.
Do you agree with my opinion? Do you believe that the song Universo could have achieved a good result for Spain?
