Eurovision 2016: This is how the six candidate songs sound

After being 30 seconds ahead of us, RTVE released the six candidate songs for Eurovision 2016 in their entirety so that all Eurofans could analyze them before choosing our next representative. I don't know about you, but after having listened to them a lot of times I can't help but shout out loud that of: Again ?!

Although there are topics with potential - few, but there are - it ends up being a bit frustrating to meet again the same kind of song as always, the same old Latin rhythms and the Orozco-Sanz-flamencorro voices with which we have so often returned from the festival with our tails between our legs. We are going to go in parts, starting with the issues that I would discard and that I would give a chance to. This, as always, is a mere opinion.

Before getting into the songs themselves, the first mistake that some of the artists have made falls on something as important as the level of quality within the production. Something as important as the first listen ends up being a jug of cold water, since that artist from whom you were expecting something with all your desire has ended up presenting something that sounds like a demo. Then they always come with the "The final version will be much better" and other decorations. Bad. A positive example: I don't like the Maria Isabel song, but it's so well finished that you eat it whole and it even sticks to you without you noticing. This would be a most suitable candidate to represent us at Eurovision 2016.

We now go to the negative points. Salvador Beltrán with 'Days of Joy': good voice and good intention in a passable song that has little to do with what Eurovision has been like in recent years. Salvable, the chorus. Xuso Jones with 'Victorious': Xuso's vocal quality never fails, but everything else does. Although the theme is already a mimicry of what were two of the winners of recent years ('Euphoria' and 'Heroes'), and I do not mean that it copies anything, but because of the pattern that follows, 'Victorious' fails in the production, which sounds outdated, with unattractive sequences and with a level of English by Xuso that is quite debatable. Maverick with 'A happier world': here I do not save anything, a total laboratory product for another talent-winning voice. A song without any personality. I don't think there were no better candidate songs than this one.

And we end with the positive points. María Isabel with 'Life is only one': as I said before, this is a song that is so well done and, above all, so well finished that it ends up being attractive on the nose. It is not my favorite. Barei with 'Say Yay!': Total love-hate. How well this girl sings, it is pure fire, but the product presented sounds so like a demo that it ends up losing much of its strength. You urgently need to update your music streams. I like a lot. Electric Nana with 'Now': it is not the most Eurovision song, but perhaps that is what attracts me the most about it. Electric Nana's voice is correct, with intention, something that a song like 'Now' needs. For me, 'Now' is the song we should take to Eurovision 2016.

Barei: "Say Yay!"

Electric Nana: "Now"

In the question of whether we should bring songs in Spanish, I do not enter, since I think that this mania of «Letter in Spanish yes or yes». Already since they check if the artists live as a couple without being married or if, in the case of being married, virgins arrived at the marriage ... not to clash with the old tone.
