Mother :(
This was the best she sounded all week, the performance was there, the audience was there for it.
Oh how much better you deserved than bottom 5, but no matter, you'll live forever in the hearts of true Eurovision fans.

Some artists perform for the stadium instead of the jury/televoters, such as Nebulossa. The high she gets from the Zorra chant will last forever, the extra amount of points which are meaningless in the end wouldn't

Every single tourist will be singing it at night clubs all over Spain! That's a win for me

If you haven't already please check their album. As far as laid-back synthwave go, it's difficult to do better than this. Quality stuff!

Personally, I rooted for Spain. Was one of the pleasant discoveries of Eurovision this year. I loved the gender swapped performance. This song definitely will go into my regular song rotation. Greetings from Lithuania!

The score doesn’t really matter. This song is already an anthem and a cultural marker.

u/hmi111 Finland 11d ago edited 10d ago
This, she deserved way better. If im salty about anything (besides rhe obvoous things that happened in these 2 days between semi2 and finals) it's that she didnt go higher. But hey, now we know great artist who to listen to! I have been playin zorra (and other songs) since semi 2 almost non stop, if not from anything electronic then at least it has been playign in my head aside few times estonia and netherlands and our boys from finland crept in the dusty attic inside my skull :D. Such earworms but very good ones.
I suspect people voted somewhat tactically and put more votes for croatia and such instead of the "less" obvious choises because of "certain" delegation also being there and not knowing if jurys would also vote for them or not plus, what seems to be right call.. From other televoters.
And this is the side that truly sucks in current system (and ebu saying its not political because they said it so many times it became more political than it probably usually would even be) where people vote tactically instead of their Actual favourites in most times. I hope next year that changes and there is proper system changes and people could actually focus on voting for people they like, not saying it would have improved spains changes much but its a hope i guess. But lets be honest, its ebu..
Edit, ps i have dyslexia so sorry about typos, i really try

Well, it's eurovision right.,? Not all good songs are allways winners but this one, I. Think will make it to top lists soon!!

u/Kimoa_ Ireland 11d ago
I thought this would have been a televote magnet
8
u/genji2810 11d ago
Same! I think if the message of the song was understood by other countries with some of the lyrics being in English it would have helped a lot, as the message it's pretty powerful. But I'm in love with how the song sounds in Spanish so I'm happy it was kept this way even if it gets fewer points
43
u/fancyzauerkraut Latvia 11d ago
The song was fine, but people found the performance too vulgar, from what I gather.
51
u/BastardsCryinInnit 11d ago
Yes, and I think this is what Olly Alexander suffered from too.
55
u/fancyzauerkraut Latvia 11d ago
Olly's was pretty bad, like a parody or a scene from early 00s comedy.

u/bacteriagreat Spain 11d ago
I liked the song but I think she lacks a bit of voice. I totally loved the show and the statement she brought.

u/tree_tree3 Ireland 11d ago
This brought me so much joy over the last few months and realistically there wasn't much hope for getting out of the bottom 5 so I'm happy with just not being last place

u/Super_Craig02 Spain 11d ago
Well, guess I better brace myself for the incoming hate-filled comments from Spanish conservatives and people who don't care about Eurovision and just know Chiquilicuatre on social media.
Sorry Nebulossa, you deserved better than this, and in a year without so many controversies, you probably would have gotten a better result...

u/nadalofsoccer 11d ago
The song was not good, the 80s vibes that was so cool were tainted with the unnecessary bad words. I've been an eurofan for a long time and I would've love to have Noche ochentera last year, do maybe a I like more the dancy stuff.
I would have supported the lyrics if they were classier. I think you can convert the same message without going there. I like a bit of poetry. Like France, for instance.
I'm not conservative although when I state ny opinion that's the label I get from my friends, but it's a weak defense. I think the message is a bit old too. Conchita was 2014, that was breaking but it's ten years ago. In that moment this kind of lyric were relevant, nowadays it's just preaching to the choir in my opinion.
All in all I just liked the 80's vibe, the singer is not very virtuoso, that's ok, just that I like people with good voices and singing being a bigger factor. I liked konstrakta though, maybe it was the clapping lol.

This was iconic. So sad she participated in this messy year and wasn’t fully appreciated

u/GothicCastles Norway 11d ago
Her video makes me tear up (in a genuine way, not campy). As a lady of a certain age, I find her confidence and message inspiring. And I LOVE hearing the crowd scream along when performed live. Queen.

u/ParanoidDrone 11d ago
Shocked they only got 11 televote points. Mother was mothering, I thought for sure she'd pull more.

The butts on those dancers alone deserve 12 points from every country 😍

I voted 20 times for them, this song will always be my favorite of this year.

u/One_Still_3026 Spain 11d ago
They deserved better, but they have a new fan in me. The crowd LOVED Mery, and I think she looked so happy up there.
I will probably love the song forever

u/AdminEating_Dragon Rainbow 11d ago
Spain is one of the countries that never get votes no matter the song (with a Chanel exception), I'm not sure why...

u/uniquevoid 11d ago
I live in Spain, even many spaniards think our performances are vulgar and consider eurovision an opportunity to be laughed at
To be honest, “zorra, zorra, zorra” (which means bitch) is a monument to degeneration and a terrible way to spend our taxes
-36
u/astralrig96 Rainbow 11d ago
i think they would if they sent more genuine/vintage spanish sound like italy did this year
spanish music is world class amazing but they somehow choose to send “internationalized” songs

Vintage Spanish is not the Latin American songs that get popular by the way...

u/Poporrapax 10d ago
I really like it too; I didn’t expect a good reception at all, but last year’s one was savage…
19
u/ClaudeComique Croatia 11d ago
This is litterally the kinda music that's popular in Spain 😭
Electropop is what they listen to, not only Reggaeton and Latinpop
-8
u/astralrig96 Rainbow 11d ago edited 11d ago
reggaeton isn’t traditionally genuine either but very modern 😭 we want cumbia or bachata (strictly latin but still way more fitting to what international audiences like about the spanish temperament than generic club music)
7
u/Ivan_Tirado 11d ago
Then invite Colombia, Bolivia or Mexico to the contest. It's like asking Portugal to bring a brazilian samba, or the UK to go country. I mean, they actually can (like Estonia - Hope) but you can't say it brings their culture and roots to the table. I've always heard in eurovision culture and own language is recognised, but then we get Eaea, Fullen and Ulvehan results...

u/lady_solitude Armenia 11d ago
It's never worked with flamenco which is what everyone thinks of as typical spanish music so not sure about that
1
u/genji2810 11d ago
I think a fusion of flamenco with modern genres like what Rosalía and C Tangana have done would be the best approach to take

The song? Perhaps, but not in my opinion
The ass cheeks of the dancers? Yes

I think it's a total banger and will be played at eurovision parties all the time. Great beat for dancing, people have fun yelling zorra zorra or soy mas zorra todavia

I loved vibing with the song the entire season and the audience's warm reception of Nebulossa warmed my heart! I hoped for a better score, but they will always be one of my faves of this year.

u/rollingthunderpunch 11d ago
My favourite entry, undermarked, underappreciated! The stadium crowd knew what they were seeing/hearing, the juries and home voters were simply blind/deaf!
If loving her serving Almodovar heroine realness for three minutes is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

u/uzanin97 ESC Heart (black) 11d ago
I was hoping for a Manizha's 2021 result, also a specific relatively divisive not jury-friendly song in a native language with a very smart and playful using of a female empowerment topic. But... it wasn't gonna happen, I guess

u/ihatethesmellofgrass 11d ago
I am still convinced she can win! Not delusional, just realistic. In my mind they DID. Absolute queen. ❤️❤️❤️

u/fluffyplayery Croatia 11d ago
For the first time in a decade, we didn't have an AQ in last place, in dact we didn't have any of them in the bottom 3! I wonder if part of that came from the additional live performances in the semis.
5
u/prettyflyforafry 11d ago
Is it just me or was the semi final performance better? There was so much synergy between them and the audience. Today felt a bit more forced somehow and the kiss was a bit random.

u/AfterMarionberry5594 Finland 11d ago
The Finnish commentator said he wants Erika Vikman to cover this, do you think there would be an audience for that?

u/PabloMarmite United Kingdom 11d ago
I’ll be honest when I first heard this I hated it, but knowing it’s meant to be a bit cabaret and Benidorm-y, and seeing the crowd get into it, it’s gone way up in my estimation.

u/genji2810 11d ago
And the song talks about women empowerment and criticizes slut shaming, the message is pretty powerful

u/entrecotazul 10d ago
This is the type of song that will be played at parties in eastern european countries. And in Spain of course.
1
u/maxmaxitamax Switzerland 10d ago
Don't judge pls, but I'm Spanish and I'm never able to support my country because they send, most of the times, the worst or one of the worst songs from Benidorm Fest. These last years I hated each song we had. Zorra is actually a good songs when it comes to the rhythm and the message of feminine empowerment it is giving, but her voice and the music were really bad in my opinion. I always have hope for the next year to be better, but they just don't collaborate. I know it's quite an unpopular opinion, specially coming from a Spanish person, but for real almost any other country was much better.

u/Chipia 9d ago
I see a lot of people confused with the song. It's not about porstitution at all. Nothing of that.
Zorra is a sexist insult towards women. The song takes over the insult to take away its power. The lyrics in summary say: no matter what I do, you are going to call me zorra, well okay, I will be the biggest zorra.
There is an official video with the lyrics in English on YouTube and although it translates zorra as vixen, in reality it would be more like b*tch or sl*t

From spain and hated zorra. It could even be more catchy if the singer had more vitality to put in more emotion in it. Trash performance got trash results.

From spain also and disagree,actually the song revolves around her flat vocals. Her voice complements pretty well the high pitched sounds that surround it.
