Spain: Lucia stays Galician

Daniel Motiño Camúñez reports:
Lucía Perez keeps on preparing her trip to Düsseldorf and the promotion of Que me quiten lo bailao. After a short trip to Zurich to make awarness among the Galizian population there, she has been in Granada before the football game Spain - Czech Republic, in the Moto GP in Jerez and in a couple or radio night shows, by night I mean 01:35AM and in a couple of morning TV-shows. However the impact in the media at this stage is below zero. Most of the Spanish people do not know about the song or the artist, and even some of them even think a ficticial duo called Lore y Macu from a Tele-5 TV Show, the same channel that tried to boicot Eurovision with Karmele and the Tsunami. Who to blame? TVE again; the national broadcaster's interest in the contest has been never lower, a situation that reminds the 80'. Lucia has not even moved to Madrid or Barcelona, she stays on Galicia and connects per telephone or via live conference when she is invited to any shows, always shortly. Lucía seems to stay confident in her home land, where she already has some popularity, and recently became "Predilect Daughter" from O Incio, her home town.

Today Lucia will release her new album Cruza los Dedos,  the first one to be released all over Spain, including Que me quiten lo bailao and Abrázame, thanks God she decided to drop C'est la vie it's all right; her producer is Chema Purón who discovered Lucía and has been next to her through all her career. Purón is not a new name for Eurovisión since he wrote Vuelve Conmigo and Colgado de un sueno. Lucía will be signing albums in the main Galician towns, and it is still to be confirmed when in Madrid.

She was also attending and singing in the Fashion Gala Lucus. She already announced that she will be wearing Galician fashion, which could be Zara or Adolfo Dominguez who knows and her dress wil be full of colour. Please not Lydia again! She has been asked about her favorite songs and they are United Kingdom, (well she said England...), Austria (thanks God she did not say Australia) and Switzerland. It might be a coincidence but are the three countries where she has focused her international promotion.

Another of the details of Que me quiten lo bailao is her dance routine and her staging. Lucía will be with five dancers, three male and two female ones who also will sing backing vocals - so typical for Spain..Are we doing Soraya again? The dance routine has been created by Lola González, director of the dance talent show Fame Academy where the three singers come from. Today will take place in Barcelona a flash mob with the dance routing, to support also Lucía and her song.

On a brigher note would like to highlight the great work from the AEV Spanish Fanclub who once again did this fantastic lipdub of Que me quiten lo bailao in Barcelona during its last meeting. Here.

ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel.

MALTA: THE QUEEN OF L-GHANJA TAL-POPLU - CORAZÓN MIZZI!

If The Travellers have proven recently one can do great singing in Maltese there's also someone else doing great stuff: Corazón Mizzi. While in Malta I was looking for some Maltese CDs only to find out they pretty much don't exist, and the most helpful staff in legendary D'Amato - probably the world's oldest record store today - suggested me Corazón's Hawn jien (2014 album). Having nothing else really to bring home I decided to go or it without even realizing it is the Corazón from Maltese Eurovision selections. And what a find it was! Thank you D'Amato! But let's start from the obvious: Eurovision. Corazón has been offering us songs in the Maltese Eurovision selection since 2009, actually making her best result this year with Falling glass , one of my favorites btw. I also liked last year's Secretly but that failed even the final. But Corazón's true calling is singer-songwriter in Maltese as this excellent album clearly shows. We have al

ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )
