Sorry Spain, not strong enough. I normally like your entries but this year, no. Sweden - too obvious. Greece - crap, instantly forgettable and she can't sing. Switzerland, too obvious (bring back the vampires!!) Ireland - rubbish, get over the fact that, like the UK, you can never win again and pull out. No doubt bosnia or something will win - the eastern bloc have it all sewn up

This song is gonna b one of the 2 best summer hits in Greece!!!
The one is Bulgaria ( on Saturday i heard it at least 3 times in a night club! )
N the other one's SPAIN!!! Everybody finds it toooo silly and gimmick though it's kinda Casolina and Macarena which were GRANT hits !

GOOD LUCK CHIKI CHIKI !!!
DON'T WIN EUROVISION BUT ROCK IT !!!

This entry has many chances and big ESC potential - televoters love freaky acts : Guildo, Raab, Poier, Verka....will be a dark horse but a nation wide PR campain makes little sense IMO as it is already a big hit - needs some international PR.

This song is crap. Spain, you had the most refreshing and intresting selection format this year, how come you chose something like this?

MADRID 2009,I THINK SPAIN HAVE MANY OPTIONS TO BE A WINNER THIS YEAR, IS THE MOST DIFERENT FROM ALL AND FUNNY,EUROP NEED LAUGHTING AND HAVE FUN , IS ENOUGHT TO BE LIVING IN THE 70` S ,ALWAYS THE SAME STYLE ,ABBA SOUND, ETC,

Come on,ppl !!!!!!! in my opinion,this song is smth horrible,SORRRYYY !!! Spain is my favourite country,I like everything which is somehow connected to SPAIN,but i simply can't stand this chiki chiki.....
And besides,I think that Spain was great last year and didn't deserve such a low place..I luv u,mi vida WAS REALLY HOT!!!
Good luck,however!
Kisses from Armenia

My predicition is that Rodolfo will place 6th in the final. He will get the LT United and Alf Poier votes.

I don't know why people hate it so much ... it's three minutes of mindless fun. Why does everyone has to be so serious? Might also become this summer's Macarena or Asereje who knows?

Nothing has gone wrong in Spain. This is all done on purpuse. From day 1, his promoters said that they wanted to wreck Spain's entry in ESC, because it's crap anyway and it's only watched by puffs.

What's the problem with this song¿¿??? Ok, it may not be Molitva,... but it's not as boring as many other this year's entries (Montenegro,Georgia,UK,belgium ,netherlands,denmark,hungary,p oland,lithuania,...)


DannyT [43795]

I also contend that not only does everybody know the moves but they have at least done the robocop part once if not the whole thing!!!!!

@ Owen Williams
Referring back to my other comment it makes sense because he'll sell there and make more money that way. Winning Eurovision ain't as big a payer as actually selling the song and obviously he has a better chance of doing that in Spain

What is the point in promoting your song for ESC in the only country that CAN'T vote for it?

LISBON 2009!!!!
