This was the second semi-final of Eurovision: 10 qualifiers, a lot of pop, high excitement and a euphoric audience. This has been the first time that Blanca Paloma has seen the M&S Bank Arena with a large number of "expert" audiences.

The audience has not paid a ticket: they are producers, managers, critics, friends of the delegations and, of course, reporters. The result was more than 20 seconds of ovation for the Spanish representative. Elche, who played Eaea in eighth place, after Cyprus, presented a performance without surprises.
