Barei is in 14th place in the Euro bets
The list of favorites for Eurovision 2016 is taking shape. Eurobetting places Russia, Sweden, Croatia, Australia and Malta as the top five favorites, with Spain ranking 14th, up from 20th. The rise of Barei and his 'Say Yay!' in the betting houses, according to EurovisionSpain, it was due to the entry of the single on Spotify, since 'Say Yay!' entered the list of most viral topics in recent weeks.
After analyzing the favorite songs, like every year, I end up once again throwing my hands at my head. There are always some - or some - that do show quality at the level of a Top 5, but the rest take too many references from winners from previous years. With this I am not saying that Spain deserves to win, although my Spanish blood and my usual evil losing will suffer again when the voting begins on May 14.
Euro bets place Sergey Lazarev (Russia) as favorites
We are going to review Eurobetting. Have you heard what this year's favorites sound like? Malta's bet, with Ira Losco and 'Walk on Water', brings us a theme that follows a similar scheme to that of Barei, but changing the dance for a fairly soft and commercial drum'n'bass base, very much in keeping with the festival . I like it, but without fuss. Australia, with Dami Im and 'Sound of Silence', does bring us the typical Eurovision song, with a typical female booming voice that walks through the power ballads as if they were in her living room. Sounds good but does not add anything new. In the case of Croatia, with Nina Kraljic and the new-age song 'Lighthouse', we do find something to highlight: Nina's control with falsetto. I do like this one. With Sweden, Frans and 'If I Were Sorry', we can go to sleep. This is the typical theme that if he had competed in one of our Eurovision Destinations, he would surely have been in the last places. Bored that you die.
This year it is Russia, with Sergey Lazarev and 'You are the only one', which starts as the favorite for Eurovision 2016. This is where I put my hands to my head to pull the hair that I do not have. Are we voting for the song or the hottie who sings it? Yet another electronic pop song, another video clip in which the protagonist interacts with the images a la Måns Zelmerlöw, with the difference that Russia is not even close to the eurodance of last year's winner, offering yet another song that walks the billboard of « AÑEJO »with all the gala in the world, and the only thing I like to be aged is the cheese.
If last year I applauded Loïc Nottet (Belgium) and Aminata (Latvia), this year - and speaking only of the favorites - I will try to be very attentive to Nina Kraljic (Croatia), since the rest do not bring me anything new that makes me accept a bad position for Spain. Come on, Barei!
