i hate it when broadcaster choose songs just for the variation and with no consideration how it might do in the big final of 24th of may... there are so many songs that could do better in the final than the ones they have chosen...

The jury won't choose any of these overrated and completely unknown semi-divas that nobody apart of eurofans will miss in the final. I think that they'll pick another rock song or, if not, something different of the 9 song already selected. It's clear that TVE wants a varied final.

It's a shame for Anael, who had a great song

@Keith Timmons - you are a bit naiv if you thinkthat the top 5 will be just the same as the top 5 by the public from myspace... the whole impression of a song changes when you see it performed live and with a show...

so Rudolfo might be last and Innata might actually win.. it all depends on how the artist sell the song.

If Spain wants a good result on Eurovision,they must choose Coral!!
"Todo est en tu mente" is the best!!

Ohhh.... Where is Mirela? It was the best song in selection of Spain. I want to see her performance in Belgrade. Her song is so good like Beth in Eurovision 2003.

TVE is embarrassing. I hope Eurovision will never come to Spain if this is our statal broadcaster. In my opinion Mayte should be in the Final, but my personal winner is La Casa Azul with La revolución sexual.

When I said they gave a list this morning, I meant in the TV show "por la mañana" on TVE1.

It's getting confusing. This morning, when they gave the list of the 5 wildcards they didn't mention Innata and put on the list LaLaLa Love You instead. Now here http://www.rtve.es/F(...)994ab3f0f6a4c cbe644 no mention of Null System, and we have Lorena C instead...

Anael, is the best option to make a decent final...

Well, does it matter which song they choose to replace it with? If the public chose 5 songs and a jury of experts chose the remaining (seemingly random) 5 songs, then obviously the public televote would follow the public selection. Or do they think that everyone will somehow suddenly change their minds?

I've just seen in tve's webpage (http://www.rtve.es/) that the five chosen by the jury includes Lorena C (Piensa gay).
No mention to Null System there...

Although I am swedish myself, I do not like Aneal's song so much. Though it would be nice to have another Swedish song in the Spanish selection.
