Spain 🇪🇸 takes to the stage…
After Chanel’s all singing, all dancing performance last year, you’d probably forgive Blanca Paloma for feeling the pressure. But no – she’s bringing her own unique sound, doing it her way, and it’s three minutes of pure passion and power.

Her staging replicates all the magic we saw at Benidorm Fest in January, with two fringed red semi-circular structures in the centre of the stage which create a circle for Blanca Paloma and her five dancers to perform in, backed by black, red and white lighting. It's a really clever and dramatic use of the space, making it feel intimate rather than trying to fill the entire stage. Blanca Paloma's voice has a unique and extraordinary clarity, and we pretty much forgot to breathe for three minutes.

Spain 🇪🇸 have added some smoke...💨
For the final rehearsal, Spain has added some low smoke - it adds some extra atmosphere and adds a different quality to the light. Muy bien, España.

Moet je voorstellen dat ze nog de oude methode van het bekendmaken van de televotingpunten hadden gehad. Dan was er een enorme schokgolf door de zaal gegaan als Spanje het eerste land was geweest.
