Blanca Paloma - Eaea | REACTION | Spain 🇪🇸 | Eurovision  

EAEA is a flamenco lullaby. EAEA is an onomatopoeia that Spanish mothers do to calm their children while they are crying. The song tells the story of a mother who wants to be buried in the moon when she dies to see her child every night except one (the new moon day). The red strings of the staging are very typical in the Spanish flamenco costumes. Also the song has references to the poems of Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the most important poets of Spain. This is the most Spanish entry we ever had and we are so proud of her.

I'm so confused that no one knows IN EUROPE that flamenco is also a style of singing. Flamenco is not just guitars, dancing, and castanets. Glad that this entry will go to Eurovision, to educate fellow Europeans.

Flamenco is an art. This is not for spotify summer hit but an statement made from Spain with its huge cultural and ethnic heritage. In my country we go to opera houses or theater to appreciate this music. some parts are very poetic. When she is in the white circle she says. My child. When I die may they bury me in the Moon so that I'll see you every night. Every night but one This is unique, hypnotic, a jewel.

It's not a "party song", it's ART.

The version in Studio was in my bottom, but when I saw it in Live, it made me feel in trance the whole time. The backstage of the song is so powerful: is a song dedicated to her nanny (Carmen), a NANA, when little Blanca listening when she go to sleep Every night as a kid. After that, she makes an ancestral ritual of empowering Women, the matriarchs. The origins of the Earth. The red lights in the second part are the Beats of the Heart of her grandmother. The electronic base is soooo modern, and makes a flamenco vibe became so actual. The past and the future in 3 minutes. PURE art, a masterpiece, a full pack designed by her, with absolutely no mistakes. We deserve to win after 60 years this competition with EAEA. 🙌🙌

Perdón que no sea una canción de fiesta 😂 España ha querido una canción más artística que no una comercial. Cada elemento está pensado: los hilos rojos que caen son al estilo de las mantillas españolas, la luz blanca del centro es la luna de la que habla la canción ("que me entierren en la luna, para que todas las noches te vea"), la voz es pura y vibrante como en el flamenco, mezcla tonos electro, muestra la fuerza y sencillez de música folclórica andaluza. Claramente no es una canción Disney, ni para un anuncio comercial, ni para una fiesta. Es ARTE: bello para contemplar (aunque la contemplación ya no sea un valor muy extendido). La canción se la dedicaron a su abuela, que seguramente les cantaba "eaea" cuando eran pequeñas. ¡Vamos Blanca Paloma!

La canción es una maravilla, el problema es que no han entendido absolutamente nada y hay mucha gente que no lo entenderá. España es mucho más que fiesta, sol y paella... Es una pena pero me parto con sus caras, son un poema.

"not maybe the most typical Spanish song but..." This is flamenco champion, much more from Spain than any "party song"

I'm so sad watching people reacting to this and not understanding anything of it. 😢 Spain IS NOT Latin America and not every song is catchy as it was SloMo the last year. You're all used to catchy songs and lyrics, but that's not what Spanish music actually is. This is typically SPANISH. Also, the Eurovision songs usually aren't for listening on the radio hundreds of times once the show is ended. So, this is a perfect Eurovision song and for me, the winner so far. 🏆🥇 Bravo, España 🇪🇸, 12 points from Croatia.

España se cansó y por fin una represente que une el arte y esencia no me importa si gana lo importante es ser lo que somos musicalmente hablando fuera lo comercial al final en el concurso lo que me gusta es que me sienta identificada con la música voz y arte que hay aquí olee Blaca Paloma

Musica es universal y oleeee por el flamenco, muy bien por España 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

There is not another song like this. I understand that this is art and no every people is used to listen out from pop songs but that kind of songs make bigger the music and the festival.. ,🏹🏹🏹🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Roots and tradition made with so special way performance that Its close to another dimension, so spititual, connection of ancestors. Power of mother LOVE and empowerment of women. So passional and intimate moments and at the same time, strenght and courage of each high quality voice memo, expressing cheer her child, like an optimist screaming of beeing continously by him side, fighting and watching over him, in this Life and the other. Giving sense, that mothers LOVE never die, in spite of death. In those verses which say " my child when I die, please bury me in the Moon, so I can see you every night, every night but just one" its a masterpiece, Poesy, Deep meaning in its líric, and angelical voice and bringing something new, unique, really artistic. It brings all to betwich heart and soul. ❤ It makes you reach Heaven with that etnic and hipnotic rythm. If Europe can get It. Sure, Emotions and good quality dont see, just feel them. ❤💃🇪🇦👍😊😍

She is defenetly the shining star in the ESC2023 she is a potential weapon with a pure class artistic and unique presentation. Go Spain 🇪🇸!!!

What????? I love It!!!!! Very different and good vocals

SUBLIME, después de Blanca Paloma no hay nada

It is the most Spanish that Spain send

Wonderful!! A year later it’s still haunting and mesmerizing. This song and singer is other worldly. Love from Dallas Tx

Proud of my country 🇪🇸 submitting such a different song this year. The Blanca Paloma’s Voice It's like some notes fallen from heaven . Definitely a masterpiece ! I don't know what the result will be but for me she is already the winner . Bravo Blanca 👍 Now it's time to do it just as well next May in Liverpool!🇬🇧

Best song by far. Pure trance, pure passion.

The red ring is inspired by the fringes on the shawl of Blanca Paloma's grandmother, with whom she was very close. The women represent a ritual of invocation to the ancestors. Blanca makes the gesture of the goalkeeper, who when hitting the target, a vibration of red lights is observed. It is a typical gesture of Blanca Paloma, which has become iconic. Here she appears with an armor type top and the arm like that of a warrior (fragility and empowerment at the same time)

Solo tenéis que escuchar desde el ❤.

Spain 🇪🇸 love 😍 espectacular voz incleibre

This song is pure culture and Spanish folk, especially from the South, mixed with some electronic base (which I honestly don't like that much) This song is made for listening to it only in the stage with a full package. It also will need the help of the public to elevate it even more. In the spanish semifinal and final, everybody clapped at the rhythm of the song and it was epic (you can't hear it in the video with camera work but you can in the videos of people from the public) imagine that in eurovision with much more people in the public! I was afraid it wouldn't work with foreigners but I noticed in some parts you started clapping too, it's like an automatic response 🥰 Btw this year I'm so proud of her and this song that I don't care how we will end in eurovision, I prefer to lose with a song that represents us and most spanish people love than win with a song made just for winning and that most of us don't love (not the case of Chanel, I love her! But there were other songs on Benidorm Fest that were clearly made for winning but they weren't my cup of tea and I didn't feel represented by them)

English Lyrics: EaEa Ay come to me, my child Ay come to me, my child sleep next to me That in my chest there is shelter Little coat for your sorrows (chorus) YA EA EA EA EA EA YA EA EA EA EA EA Tears of the Nile Sleepless nights My child when I die bury me in the moon And every night I see you And every night I see you And every night I see you every night except one Ay come to me, my child (ay my child, my little one) Little of my loves That the night lights me up your eyes are sun YA EA EA EA EA EA YA EA EA EA EA EA Tears of the Nile Sleepless nights My child when I die bury me in the moon And every night I see you And every night I see you And every night I see you (Let's go there the Blanca Paloma) My child when I die bury me in the moon And every night I see you And every night I see you And every night I see you every night except one EaEa by Blanca Paloma ❤️‍🔥🇪🇦🕊🏹 Thanks for react to Blanca Paloma

Guys, this is real flamenco mixed with electronic sounds. All you’ve listened before was flamenco for tourists 😁 Welcome to Spain, the real one.

This is not just a song you normally listen to. This is art, it's pure and unique. It isn't sad at all. The official videoclip has english subtitles so you can read the lyrics and make conclusions

Another correction: Her sister didn't represent Spain in the firs Eurojunior. Although she participated in the National Selection for Eurojunior 2003 with the song 'Navegando en internet' in a girl group. Sergio Jesús Garcia was the Spanish singer in the first Eurojunior in Copengahen with the song 'Desde el cielo', finishing in second place.

Love it! Spain

Grande Blanca. She is great person. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks you from Spain ❤

Desconcierta porque es demasiado para los gustos convencionales. Va más allá de una simple canción con una buena voz. Buenas voces habrá varias; pero que aúnen misterio y profundidad, buen gusto, calidad escénica +vocal, raices populares y literarias y trasfondo personal del propio intérprete (pues se inspira en su familia) que interviene también en la composición y diseña la escenografía, no creo. Buena suerte al ESC este año. Saber elegir bien es difícil y en el ESC no siempre (por no decir casi nunca) gana el mejor. Por eso, querida 🕊 , que todos los pichones del mundo, las musas y García Lorca te acompañen en este viaje, porque lo tuyo está más allá de cualquier "Contest". Btw, a good election your logo image.

Ole paloma, pedazo de voz 💃♥️🙌🏻

This was my winner last year. I listened to this song before the final and i think this song has to grow on you so you listen to it multiple times, different versions of it like the studio version. Which i think wasnt as good as the live performance and that tell a lot. I can see why this potential got lost among other very memorable songs if someone only watched the final. I still get chills listening to this, well done Spain 🇪🇸

Jajajaja las caras de impresión ....es que es muy arriesgado llevar arte de altísima calidad pero abstracto completamente a la mayoría...Es como ver un Miró o un Picasso, a la mayor parte de la gente no les gustará ...Desconcierta a todos. Y gracias porque son muy amables con sus explicaciones...Pero hemos decidido por la calidad original en vez de lo genérico que escucha y es agradable a la mayoría. Desapercibida no pasa la canción. 🤣🤣🤣

Spain is always in the final, one of fives

Its not a song to put in your playlist. Its a traditional flamenco style song. Its a performance to live an experience like if you were in a spanish theatre.

flamenco is crazy....many feeling...party ..love...passion..all senses..is ethnic and ancentral music..many influencies cultures..

🕊️🏹❤️🇪🇸🇪🇸

Spain 🇪🇸 should win definitely this year !

The culture of other countries is difficult to understand outside their borders, but when it is art, and in this case flamenco is a discipline that goes hand in hand with lyricism and staging, everyone can appreciate it. In southern Europe it is also difficult to understand how alcohol is revered in northern Europe and we can come to understand that there it is something cultural that they have assumed. I think Finland's favorite song this year is about the need to drink, isn't it? Difficult for us to understand but respectable too 🙂 Regards

Spain TOP 3.👑🇪🇸

El Flamenco no es un arte menor al contraria a dado mucho a la música y muchos cantantes internacionales los incluyen en su música por una vez en estos tipos de concurso se tiene que reconocer y valorar olee Blanca paloma

Creo que hay que ser español y saber de nuestro folclore para entender está cancion

Correction from Leah: Alessandra's song doesn't actuallly start that similarly to this one... my bad! Albania's has a pretty similar start tho.

The closest ones to win the national final were "quiero arder" from Agoney and "Nochentera" from Vicco, both being more uptempo and radio friendly songs. "Arcadia" from Megara was also a fan favourite, a rock song. I think we chose the best option for Spain. Any bop or uptempo song would be compared with Chanel (and Chanel's shadow is too big), so the best was to go for something completely different than last year. And it has spanish essence and is something unique as no other country would send. I also don't even have this in my Spotify playlist as other NF songs, but I do appreciate the performance, like it is some piece of art that gets you mesmerized in live play. Also for your info, there's a rule in the Spanish selection that songs in Eurovision can't have more than half of the lyrics in foreign languages (I think the only one singing a whole song in English from Spain was Barei in 2016).

Muchas gracias, un abrazo para Finlandia

AMAZING 😍😍

You guys are funny… “so yeah, well, so, yeah, I think, well, yeah, ok, interesting, oh well,…” 😂

Awesome 💃🏻 Almost has a gypsy undertone to it!

AND...that's the winner

Las bulerías es un canto triste y esto es más español que el jamón es arte del sentido audiovisual, respeto que al que no le guste pero si de música o de voz hablamos no tiene ningún fallo lo que pasa es que estamos acostumbrados a artistas que se apoyan mucho con adornos musicales por que la voz no les llega para según que notas.

It is undoubtedly a risky bet on the part of my country. Or leads us to glory. Or it sinks us to the bottom of the classification. There will be no middle ground. A very pure flamenco that I don't know if it will be appreciated in Europe. Greetings from Spain.

Europa tuvo ❤ para ucrania y el que haga falta ,pero quedó un año anterior marcado con 🇪🇦 y 🇬🇧 tambien 🇸🇪 que los cuatro estuvieron en la final de voto europeo ,la canción de España este 2023 su letra (mi niño cuando me muera que me entierren en la luna y todas las noches te vea) solo tiene una referencia y es que a los críos se les ama y se les quiere eternamente frente a cualquier caída el amor de una madre o padre tiene que ser el ejemplo a seguir que sepa Europa que hay una letra muy simbólica detrás de esta cancion para seguir viviendo momentos tan difíciles.

Here the meaning of the song in english: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1NL_n_RCNbs.html&ab_channel=Llanostories

Qualitas qualitatis, arte, amor y pasión.Esto es España, no és solo música, también hipnotiza y embruja. Qualitas qualitatis, arte, amor y pasión.Esto es España, no és solo música, también hipnotiza y embruja.

So proud of this song..... but I have to say that, last year, Spain lost the Best oportunity to send a perfect folk song, with "Tanchugueiras", 💜💜💜💜💜💜

, #EAEA EAEA YA EAEA... is an onomatopoeia, it is when a mother whispers to her baby to calm him down and to sleep. I like the whole song by Blanca Paloma like you Donkey Bridge its, but what else... is when Blanca Paloma kneels and sings that about; when I die, they bury me in the moon, so I can see my child every night, except one, which is the night of the new moon or full moon, for me that is talking about the love that processes your child more beyond his death, there he left it... I loved seeing your reaction, I send you a greeting.

Para entender esto en toda su totalidad,siendo extranjero,una de dos,o eres una persona muuuy sensible o conoces mucho nuestra cultura.Si no,yo pienso que....solo veréis una canción más.

Viva España 🇪🇦

Welcome to flamenco 💃💃💃

It's a lullaby but could be a party song

🏹💃💃😘🇪🇦

It is the most tipical Spanish sound

we had enough party song from Spain last year with SloMo, glad Spain changed the style but mantained the quality

Solo añadir que ea ea no sólo se usa para acunar a un bebé. En los tablaos flamencos se usa para animar y con ese significado lo recoge la Real Academia de la Lengua Española. Es como decir :come on

The other 2 songs that could be a great show for Eurovision were Agoney "Quiero Arder" and Megara "Arcadia" that ended in 2nd and 4th place in the final.

I liked your analysis, about Paloma's song, this video reaction has been the one I liked the most. I agree that this song is risky. Not all the European public will like it. If you don't like this style of music it's complicated. Slomo was an easier song to listen to and put on repeat. This style, flamenco fusion is for people who like it. However, I think we will receive scores from various countries. In my opinion, countries like Turkey, Azerbaijan, Albania, or Armenia, are going to feel closer to this type of music. The Spanish people have not chosen this song to win ESC, we have chosen this song because it comes from our roots ;)

Watch Agoney’s Quiero Arder and Megara’s song

Winner

React to Vicco- Nochentera

😍👏👏🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

Why Donkey Bridge ? Story please

Remember Spanish song came first...

"maybe not the most typical spanish song" i'm sorry, genuine question, is there something I'm missing? this song is flamenco, the literal poster child for spanish culture, the stereotype everyone in the world thinks of when the country is mentioned...? I am very confused by this statement

I'll give you the rhythmic base of the song, in case you want to practice it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wL9_a4cMqTU.html&feature=shares 💃

The sound is very spanish! Flamenco.

It´s a bulería typical from Jerez - it´s a lullaby so monotonous but hypnotic - I hear here in Spain they are going to change a few things for the final so hopefully the song will be more appreciated. This song represents art and culture - unfortunately Eurovision has slipped into gay disco in the past

It's an excellent perofrmance, full of emotion, has heart and soul yet many people form Europe would not like it much since it's not their type of music they ussually can like so it doesn't matter how good it was they would still not be impressed by it much, I think in a different parallel world where most of Europe for some reason loved Spanish authentic music then this song could have a chance to even win..instead people in Europe like the evil and weird kind of music that Finland has for example..goes to show what quality these people all share and I don't think I like it.

LOL you didn't like It at all 🤣And it's ok, it's a controversial entry. No other song was close to this one

Some represent a musical style and a staging never seen before at ESC and backed by the popular folklore of a country, Spain is the only country in the world that could represent an electronic flamenco show at ESC. Spanish flamenco intangible cultural heritage of humanity UNESCO. Others represent generic songs with no sentiment or culture behind it. That is the big difference. Where some listen and see art, others only hear noises✌🏼🕊️💕

New versión of a clasic. The style is he flamenco os Rosalía

Don't even expect a song completely in English from Spain, the Benidormfest rules are, song practically full in Spanish. Also, Eurovision is for sharing different cultures, traditions and bring countries together not for choosing the best party song.

I really appreciate your elegant honesty. No words needed, your faces were already respectfully disliking the song. I'm spaniard and get completely your point. I mean, this is a flamenco folk song, folklore which belongs to the southern region in Spain (Andalusia) and so many spaniards don't feel represented at all by those sounds o relate to it either. This has been a risky decision by the Spanish public but we probably wanted to send to ESC something more special and unique than last years' entry and scape from the generic commercial dynamics. Of course, this is still ESC and the Eurovision public just wanna have fun, it's not an experimental indie music contest. In any case we'll be proud of this decision no matter the results, we're used to win the BOTTOM places!!! hehe

Haha, were you afraid of disturbing the fandom hype about the song? In fact your reaction is very common, at first you don't know what to think about the song unless you are raised listening to something similar and also understand the lyrics. There are Spaniards who directly hate this style of music but in my case and no matter the score it receives, I love it because there are traditions I love behind the music, lyrics, staging and the way of singing.

Thanks but in my opinion you should look into the lyrics and understand the meaning of the words before you are going to talk about...It is a lullaby and it is very artistic although I can see you didn't understand it.

GORGEOUS

Why is it so wrong that someone just doesn't connect with one particular song? I am from Spain, I like Eaea but no, this is not Spain as a whole and not everyone feels represented. Mind you, I don't normally feel represented with ANY Spanish entry lol Let's just agree to disagree and enjoy the festival!

this is not for everyone for sure

Such a beautiful song but it's a risk. I feel like it will live or die on its staging. If it's not staged well enough I think it will fail in the same way France did last year with Fulenn.

I can see in your face guys that the song didn’t like you

Party song this isn’t !

If Spain does not win this year, the festival has no credibility

Sorry guys ... this is very very typical song ... im sorry you follow the stereotypes of what people thing about us ... u americans? Even the man singing something in Spanish nothing about what song says 😔

Please have a look into Agoney's performance!!!

Que pena penita pena españa

Canta muy bien blanca paloma pero creo que para Eurovisión no es acertada no lo van ha entender es folklórica la canción creo que quedaremos de las últimas ya nos pasó cuando mandamos este estilo no nos entienden en eurovision

But am I the only one who finds this music creepy? Well, we can have a new Jamala only instead "1944" it will be "Eaea" a kind same history as well! What can i say: a good throat no doubt.

Buaaaa otra vez kedaremos 0 points

Your faces summarise your thoughts without words... Definitely is not for everyone's taste, including some Spanish people. For me, Karmento was a better option. Blanca Paloma has an incredible voice, but the song does not inspire me. probably the song for Eurovision was Vicco with Nochentera.
