Just a Moment to Sit Back and Enjoy

As expected, the huge success obtained by the Spanish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest held in the Italian city of Turin on Saturday evening caused a great deal of controversy amongst those Spaniards who thought she and her performance wasn’t “politically correct” these days.

As you may not know about what I’m writing, I’ll provide you with some information on how the process to choose our Eurovision Festival representative works. This year, Spain opted to organise a music festival, Benidorm Fest, in which the artists taking part presented their best songs to win the ticket to Turin. Although the crowd favourites were the female singer-songwriter Rigoberta Bandini and the female Galician folk trio Tanxugueiras, the contest jury determined that the winner was the female singer and dancer Chanel. This decision was very controversial since her song, her performance and her appearance were the last thing the so-called progressives would be expecting to send to such an international music festival. I suppose, and this is just my humble point of view, they wanted to show at this festival how much we care for relevant issues like nationalism, Tanxugueiras, and feminism, Rigoberta Bandini. On the other hand, Chanel was just a female singer and dancer. You may be wondering what is wrong with her. Not only did Chanel’s outfit leave little to the imagination, or at least its bottom part, but she was also wearing a “chaquetilla”, the short and rigid jacket bullfighters wear. Her song was the perfect one expected to be presented at a music festival like Eurovision, or at least it was so in the past. Chanel dazzled the audience as well as the jury. So much so that she obtained a well-deserved third position after Ukraine, for obvious reasons, and the UK.

To my mind, there are better places to show your commitment with social issues and I’m not saying that Chanel wasn’t doing so in her own way. However, I think that, one in a while, we should allow us to sit back and enjoy by watching a group of bands and singers dancing and singing less crucial songs, especially keeping in mind the situation we’re living through.

"obtained" isn't altogether wrong, but people usually achieve successes.

While it's not uncommon to hear "care for" in a negative statement ("I really don't care for that... "), when you express concern or importance in a positive statement it's about. "To care for" in a positive statement implies "to look after", e.g. "I care for my elderly mother".

Very good English. I thought the Spanish entry was much better than that of the UK

Do you mean that the Spanish singer was better than British one? I think the British singer was one of the best and oddly enough, both the female Spanish singer and the British male singer worn a very similar outfit.

You´re welcome. Yes - I thought the Spanish entry was better. Better song, performance and impact. I was surprised that the UK entry did so well, I preferred Spain and Norway (!)

The debate here is not clear to me. You mentioned that the other two possible representatives had issues: nationalism and feminism. Left wing feminism is what progressives would want to show.

What was the chosen singer's issue? The way you describe the one who sang in the competition, as too skimpily dressed...doesn't strike me as a political issue, but rather she was just being sleezy.

This is an interesting topic. I suggest you make some changes to make your points clear. I'm sure many people are talking about this topic.

Take care.

You can’t imagine the amount of people who have been speaking about Chanel achieving the third position at the Eurovision Song Context, especially those who criticised so much her being chosen. Now even the most radicals are underlying how well she did in Turin. However, there are still a few of them who say that in spite of her amazing performance, they are fed up of singer dancers like Shakira and Jennifer Lopez and that we don’t need more singers like those and that it had been better sending singers singing song with a deeper meaning. I’m not going to stand up for Chanel because she’s already a talented artist. Chanel has taken part in some of the most famous musicals, TV series and films. Nowadays, it seems that if you’re a woman who show more than some people think you should do, you can’t be a singer o a dancer any longer. By the way, nobody is speaking about the three male dancers who were part of the performance and who were showing their magnificent chests. The world is crazy.
Btw, many thanks easton for taking the time to read, correct and comment on my long post. I really appreciate it.
