Spain – Following Thursdays edition of Objetivo Eurovision where the public Wildcard was chosen, TVE have released the other five entries in contention to represent the Big 5 Country in Kyiv. Joining Wildcard winner LeKlein will be Paula Rojo, Mirela, Maika Barbero, Mario Jefferson and Manel Navarro
The artists and songs that could represent Spain this May are:
Paula Rojo “Lo Que Nunca Fue”
Mirela “Contigo”
Maika Barbero “Momento Critico”
Mario Jefferson “Spin My Head”
Manel Navarro “Do It for Your Lover”
LeKlein “Ouch!!”
The songs can be heard below:
There are four female acts to only two male singers in what is already looking to be a female heavy contest this year. Do you think Spain will be adding to the female cast or will a male take the ticket? Which is your favourite?
The national final will be taking place next month.
The Eurovision Times 
I have just listened to the Swiss hopefuls and fear that Switzerland might come last in the semi final once again.
it’s worse every year, “Exodus” is worse than a Belarussian esc entry, the worst entry of the year definitely
I agree. I am listening to the Eesti Laul SF 1 songs now. Pretty disappointing too but perhaps I have been spoiled by too many editions of ETSC and FdlC …
and glorious past EL editions themselves
Indeed. Most of the songs just sound dull so far …
Antsud though <3
I am not there yet …
Liis Lemsalu with a eurotrash? I want “Üle vee” back. :(
It’s a good song but alas I have never been into Estonian ethnic sounds. :(
I’d probably go with “We Ride With Our Flow” without loving it. I’ll stop stalking you now. LOL
There wasn’t a single song I listened to until the end. :(
On to SF 2 now. Let’s hope that things get better …
Oh my, after having checked the Swiss and Finnish hopefuls and half of the EL entries, the Belarussian NF is still in first place on my list. LOL
A friend from PB told me that Malta is stronger than usually. I’ll check those songs tomorrow night.
Switzerland does have her though <3
I don’t recognize her atm. Who is she?
Ginta Biku.
Beautiful woman,trashy song :)
Thanks. Another blonde … ;) I only listened to the audio files while doing my taxes.
You should definitely watch this. So bad, it’s good!

You got me ROFL. Thanks. :)
The list of the 40 candidates of the Moldovan preselection has been announced:

I recognize several names. I am glad to see Big Flash Sound and Valeria Pasa back, I hope they have good songs.
Wow,i forgot the songs.Here is Valeria: http://trm.md/ro/audio-eurovision2017/?p=10
And here is Big Flash Sound: http://trm.md/ro/audio-eurovision2017/big-flash-sound-logic/
Thanks! :) Valeria’s link does not seem to be working. I liked Big Flash Sound more last year, but they have a valid proposal.
This one works:

Better than last year, I think, but nothing to write home about. Valeria is an excellent live singer though; she will make it soar on stage.
After the Saturday live edition a maximum of 14 songs will qualify.
Noted. :)
So many new songs and news coming everywhere!
Some of you may already this; the Portuguese singers from SF1 are known:
Márcia (Márcia)
Golden Slumbers (Samuel Úria)
Fernando Daniel (Nuno Feist)
Deolinda Kinzimba (Rita Redshoes)
Rui Drumond (Héber Marques)
Lisa Garden (Pedro Saraiva)
Salvador Sobral (Luísa Sobral)
Trio led by Kika Cardoso (Nuno Gonçalves)
It seems that at leat 3 songs will be performed in English in both semis. Fernando Daniel has just won The Voice of Portugual and he has made quite the impression on people; he also got involved in some kind of scandal involving photos and facebook posts. I do not watch The Voice and I am not particularly impressed by his demeanor, but he seems to be a good live singer. He will most probably fare very well with the televoters.
Here is Fernando Daniel; the Portuguese fans are very happy, but they think that Nuno Feist is not the best composer for him:
he’s pretty and I do like his voice ;)
He is good!I hope he’ll sing a contemporary song.
I am eager to listen to Golden Slumbers tackle Úria’s song (it’ll be an American folk song kind of thing so he said):
I found that Deolinda Kinzimba from Luanda, Angola, is also from the same “The Voice”…she is GREAT, I already LOVE her..she is also the finalists and she has a lot of views! GOSH some of her performances give me goosebumps!! <3
The promising is that I found many Portuguese fans writing that Rita Redshoes has AMAZING songs.. :)
Here’s the latest song from Rita Redshoes, Marco:
P.S. – Kika Cardoso was born in Africa as well (Mozambique); she will be singing with two countertenors – Luís Peças e João Paulo Ferreira.
Kika and her guys call themselves Viva la Diva.
Eesti Laul.Ariadna shines on stage even in the acoustic version of her song.I wouldn’t say no to an Ariadna win. :P
My fave!
Not bad. Better than most Eesti Laul 17 stuff I’ve heard so far.
cute guitarist!
lol.I didn’t notice.
More of him and his tattoos:
Nice
One of the first things I hear this year from EL. Classy.
It’s not a good year for Eesti Laul overall so it’s indeed one of the better ones.
Taken from the Moldovan preselection.This guy sings a song titled “2 Cats”.lol
This has been a long day and I still have not had dinner. I am leaving you with this one (Georgina Kanizsa, from A Dal 17, is the soloist):
:)
Ooops, wron link:
Look Totova with “Hosszú idők”, accoustic performance! I LIKE it!! :D
So do I.
One more Ukrainian semifinalist:
ILLARIA:
Obviously not a winning entry. :(
More room for Vivienne to take the crown. :P
With such strong competition i don’t think any of them will win,tbh. :P
I think Illaria won’t even reach the final.
Nah. Vivienne Mort all the way!
It helps that we don’t know her song, so I can imagine a masterpiece.
I actually really like it, it’s a pleasant song, but not a masterpiece by any means. With a good stage performance she can bring it to life too.
I like it too but i’d never choose it for esc.She hasn’t written the song while she’s a very talented composer and i feel it’s too eurovisionised and in English.
Aghiazma’s entry:
So many links and so little time to go through them. :(
I just wanted to add that initially this link was about Spain ESC and the consequences, and evolved into other ESC matters which I completely understand and I kept checking here for comments about Spain, which got lost after a few comments, so thus now when I’d like to comment on Spain, that whole idea is gone, in the end whatever I want to say is lost, just for your ESCtimes reference potential Spanish contributors here in Spain don’t bother posting because the thread has been overtaken, as a journalist and for your reference
