The last of the Super Saturday finals, finishing at close to midnight in Europe, was Spain. Benidorm Fest final was a hot mess of bad clothing choices, mostly by Ruth Lorenzo, and some horrendous vocals from most of the artistes.
The winner was, again, chosen by a combination of 50% “Professional” jury, 25% demographic jury, and 25% televoting and for the first time in the contests history there was a tie for the Jury “winner” which sent everyone mad, including the hosts.

So there wasn’t a riot after all, sadly. Still, Spain has gone for the electronica sound which is not a bad thing and I understand that it has already gone quite large in the Spanish charts – which guarantees the gays – sorry – the public of Spain will be behind it. I’m a little annoyed that they have gone for a woman-type singer again but, hey, if Chanel showed them nothing then….
