I wanted Lo Malo to win. Arde was my second choice. The winning song was my 3rd favourite, but they're all very strong.

Yesterday there was another "goodbye Operacion Triunfo" show and we had another performance of Tu Cancion. The performance keeps improving, they removed the pianos (thank god!) and the stage effects are better.

 

 

There was as well another performance of Lo Malo which is becoming the hit of the series, outselling Tu Cancion in downloads in Spain and already officially number #1 in Spain this week. Tu Cancion is at #3.

The final version of this is available here (along with a 30 second clip of the music video).

 

I have an odd feeling about this, either it's going to do about as well as Spain usually do or the whole "marketable heterosexuality" is going to capture people's imaginations and it's going to do really well.

 

Plus last time we had a really open year where the opera based fave failed to live up to expectations we had another slightly cringey duet go on to win the whole thing. I wonder.

Will forever be bitter that Lo Malo didn't get chosen but I am really coming round to this. If they don't hate each other in two months and can sell the love story, I reckon it'll do rather well (top 10 let's say, and I'd be really pleased for Spain as a country)

I really do think this is a lovely entry having not been impressed on first listen. Their voices sound great together and the melodies and harmonies are beautiful.

Ugh. Not here for this Portugal-2017 rip off, yawnfest.

 

Out of ALL the years for Spain to do a song like this... ughhh. Just imagine if they'd actually given us a genuine 'Despacito' type, current and on trend without sounding too much like it's chasing trends, Spanish jam... :(

It really was the year of Lo Malo. It might have won if Aitana didn't have her solo song in the superfinal, effectively splitting her fanbase vote and allowing Alfred's and Amaia's to jointly push them to the win. Such a shame.

Lo malo is awful, the worst song in years. I am very proud of our song "Tu canción "

I think you should be! Hopefully follows in Ruth and Pastora's steps into the top 10. Both deserved higher!

Thanks from Spain. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

The final version is much better, more epic at the end. Perfect for the Eurovision final show. It remains top 10 (#9) in the paid bets.

English version released! :wub: :wub:

 

This song is so beautiful :wub:

 

But to be honest I think the Spanish version works A LOT better.

I only heard Lo Malo yesterday and it is EVERYTHING, what a missed opportunity!!

 

(even if it's a total Shape of You rip-off)

Actually, it is much better what happened to Lo Malo to be honest. It's been number #1 in Spain since release week back in January, it is selling tons.

I assume there were far more spanish people in Lisbon's arena than portuguese, they got far more cheers than anybody else, including Portugal.

Lo malo is the worst song i Heard in years. Tu canción is the best song . :yahoo: :yahoo:

Lo Malo is amazing.

 

Tu Cancion es una de las peores de 2018, superada solo x Storm y Noruega. The Spanish entry was one of the three absolute worst. Really really bad.
