You’re the first commenter I’ve seen who understands how hard it is to hit THAT quality of a vocal with THAT level of choreography. It was so impressive. That girl put in the work.
That's what I've been saying as well. Apart from Beyonce, what other singer out there can pull off vocals with I high intensity dance number? Even Normani struggled when she performed Motivation live.
Maybe you need to listen again because the vocals are heavily prerecorded, no long notes and a lot of oh oh oh ah ah ah sounds which are 'relatively' easy to push out. Also shes a trained dancer. Not saying its bad but its not THAAAT impressive and neither is beyonce... A song like ' karma"with minimal choreo is still more difficult to sing than this one with a heavy choreo
@@raymondkaumoana715 But the thing is I don't really think she nails it! I couldn't understand the lyrics as she failed to finish the verses and I am very fluent in Spanish... And I understand it's difficult, but if the back vocals weren't there there were parts we wouldn't hear her voice at all! So, I praise her dancing skills and the choreography, but it needs to be polished (though this isn't really my cup of tea, and the lyrics are very weak...)
Chanel posted on her Twitter that she learned to sustain her vocal by running on the treadmill IN HELLS while singing. The work ethic is off the scales
The clothes on both performances are made by Carmen Farala, Winner of Drag Race España. And, to add, they made the second look within 48h between the semifinals on Wednesday and Saturday’s Finals. Lots of love from Spain ❤️
I was rooting for Theje in Albania, but agreed with the other two. Things are starting to look out for Eurovision this year and we don't even have a quarter of the participants yet
Chanel is a natural performer from theater and musicals, she has the talent, the vocals, the dancing, the charisma, I mean, she even made it to the top 5 in the casting for the remake of West Side Story... she's that talented, and not happy with that, she spent 3 months running a treadmill in high heels while singing to improve her vocal ability for the Benidorm Fest. That's commitment .
You definitely pin pointed the thing I think is underrated about this performance: She's doing A LOT of choreo, but she isn't sacrificing the vocal. She sounds good, and she is supported JUST ENOUGH by the backing vocals. True of both Chanel and Ronela from Albania this year. This is the kind of excellence we should be demanding from our pop girlies.
Still not great vocals, at best. Having said this, she doesn't deserve all the hate from spanish fans. Just another artificial pop song. At least for me.
Rímela 👎 no se puede comprar con Channel . No se confuuuuuda señores que ella va rompiendo cadera Channel es la estrella 🌟 es la Jennifer L Europa en Eurovisión Channel Spain 🇪🇸 one☝️
I really wanna this to win in may,this is summer super hit. And I love Spain as the country, so many years without winning and low placing, this country deserves to collect huge number of points and to be first in may. Spain for win eurovision ❤️🧡❤️
she worked very hard. 1 month and a half running on a treadmill in heels, working on choreography and vocals. every effort deserves its reward and it is the most just thing that it goes to the eurovision and that it shines very high. she is a God
Yes exactly. You never miss! I understand why people prefer the other favourites over this bc of the song / concept, etc. But the point is, this performance is next level. Professional, polished, and BETTER THAN all the ESC pop girlies in the past. This was the moment to ELEVATE and set the bar higher for these pop-dance numbers and she DID. THAT.
I agree, definitely. It's the best performance that we've had in many, many years for Eurovision, by far. Her performance was the best of all. There were other interesting songs, but their performance was poorer, and besides, they were biased with political traits. There has been a lot of controversia from the fans of some of them. Many of us are tired of political bias in songs and of crazy fans, so, we welcome Chanel as a fresh breath of air, with a perfect performance and a catchy song.
We chose well for once!! So proud of our girl. I really wanted to see your reaction, I knew you were going to love it!! p.s Spanish eurofans need to stop bullying her on social media. What they are doing is beyond disgusting
You cannot image for how long I was waiting that Spain would send sb like her. The previous singers had a good voice, but the songs made me feel I was attending a funeral more than a festival, the presentation of the songs were really sad. Even though in my country (Spain) she is being roughly critized, I think Chanel is bringing the freshness I was longing for
I’ve see a lot of comments around that go the song is just fine but it’s only about the staging. For me, this was my one takeaway when hearing all the studio versions where I went “this is so going on my playlist”. The rest wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t truly drawn to them. This feels very similar to what happened to Eleni in so far that I loved her song from the start. I’m not saying there’s necessarily an Eleli result in it, because we don’t know the other songs yet… but no way this isn’t at least sniffing at the top 10’s heels. So all of you guys who want to believe Slo Mo has nothing to offer musically… you might want to think again. This is great.
Alesia can you believe that the Spain people are not happy for her, I can’t understand why, I agree all your points of view, and a lot of non Spain people here on TH-cam thing exactly like you, this will be at least a top 10, but for me it will be a top 3, I am obsessed with SLO MO!
You are so great!! Chanel did it. She was the best ever, much more than Tanxu or Rigoberta. Sooo great for Eurovision. This year Spain wins!!! Slo moo MO MO MO. Greetings from Spain!!
So far, out of the 4 songs released already, 3 are good and we have so many excellent national selections. If every other country sends songs that are as good as what we've been getting, we're going to lose so many bangers in the semis that it's going to feel criminal!
Chanel turned it out and really deserves it. I’m just mad that Terra won the televote and demoscopic jury, and only got third. It just made it all feel like a televised internal selection
out of all Eurovision songs and performances that have similar style (since 2018), the only one which has at least the same level of energy as Fuego is SloMo. yes, it has Fuego vibes, no one can deny it. but, this is in a different level.
the song is not Fuego in the slightest, as a test just listen to the studio version, it doesn't have the familiarity of El Diablo (Lady Gaga copycat). Chanel is a great performer but there is only so much you can do with a mediocre song (and no diaspora/neighbour voting), if Chanel finishes anywhere between 11th-20th place it would be a success already

Alessia, I'm from Spain, I have to thank you a lot because you're always very respectful with all you react to... Here, people it's disgusting right now because Tanxugueiras or Rigoberta Bandini didn't win but my winner was Chanel, so imagine how happy I am... My dream came true and I'm really happy 😭❤️
I am LIVING for your reactions haha This is exactly what we want from Spain for so long. I felt his will blow up throughout the season leading up to the first semi-final.
This is incredible... Chanel was on point... I would dare to make two comments - 1) Her voice would be incredible in a duet with Damiano from Maneskin and 2) J. lo and Shakira, who? -- Chanel shows what wonderful Spanish vocals could be.
@Alicia MartinYes, her education and formation was in Spain but you can’t omit the fact she’s Cuban. She is Cuban and a Spaniard citizen. Let’s correctly state that. It’s really not that difficult to comprehend.
@Alicia Martin That’s not what you said at first. We were both responding and editing our comments at the same time so it got lost who said what. Glad we are on the same page and educate others on that the fact that she is Cuban-Spanish. It bothers me when people say this authentic Spanish, Spanish flavor when it’s not. It’s a fusion, a collaboration of a Latin American genre, performer and Spaniard/European songwriters and producers. As a Latin American, it bothers me to see people assume everything is either Spaniard or Mexican when they hear Spanish or Latin music. If you don’t understand it, that’s fine but I will still be very vocal about it.
This is the first time I've been excited for a Spanish entry since Ruth Lorenzo But honestly first Maneskin, now this, and France killed it last year too... Now we just need Germany and the UK to get it together and we could be seeing the big 5 getting back on form
I hope that everything that Ben Mawson is saying isn't just PR. He is definitely saying all the right things, so hopefully Tap Records can help turn the UK's luck around and maybe create a Benidorm Fest style show of their own in the future. It only takes one song/performance as we saw with The Netherlands in 2013 and Spain's may be SloMo. With this song it would be the performance, let's face it Fuego was hardly a masterpiece of a song. Who knows we may have a Birds moment for all three this year.
I mean Germany has served a couple times in the past decade too, not to the same level as France or Italy but quality songs that made it into the top 10, plus before Måneskin they were the last big 5 win in 2010. Honestly for me it was Spain and the UK from the start, and Spain is already changing its ways so we only need the UK now
You’ve nailed it on the head Alesia, for me, Chanel has now completely changed my perception of artists who have a bad vocal while dancing, she’s just shown everyone in that category up, if you can’t sing while dancing then don’t dance
Upset Spanish fans will get over it when she delivers the best results in 20 years for Spain... I watched it with a large group of internationals and even the diehard Terra fans who didn't care much for SloMo said that Spain has to pick this one.
@@j.b.2263 Gurl she was picked 2nd by the democratic vote and 3rd by the televotes. Not last. A lot of Spanish people voted for her, and at Eurovision the vote isn't only the public's vote and anyone's vote other than the Spanish public. There are very good reasons for the score it got by each vote category. If you want to send successful entries instead of just local fan favorites you need to take these juries into account as well. If Chanel wouldn't have placed that high with third public she would've have won.
@@iftyhargil8359 Chanel was among the best 3 acts. Obviously she was going to get at least a 3rd place televote. The "international" jury they picked were basically two randoms lol. Head of delegation for Iceland? .... please. The juries basically gave Terra NO chance to win. There was no excuse to not rank the song in the top 3 or at least top 4.
Chanel is a powerhouse of a artist she's got a distinct light -which is what really saves "sloMo" is a normal pop song made great by a exceptional performer. still waiting for a moment and a song like the preview winers.
Not in love with the vocals- they're good, not great. What I do love is the entire package. The routine builds and builds each minute. Dance moves are powerful/athletic/commanding. Everything works. It's a feast. I predict she'll do very well.
Your videos are awesome and your reactions are spot on! You fully get the performance, staging, vocals and how it will look at Eurovision 🤟 one of the best doing reactions 🥳💃
This performance is IT! It is what Eurovision Fans have been craving for years. And please, I can’t hear those „Her vocals are weak“. Did y’all ever see routine danced with that much passion on the Eurovision stage? And don’t say Eleni, because choreography wise this is miiiiles ahead. The stunner did not invent dancey pop songs. Chanel delivered, she has a cute yet sexy aura reminding me of Camilla Cabello and she oooozes sex appeal. I still wonder how she was not out of breath, she must’ve worked sooo hard. The package is ready for Eurovision. Clearly the first place as of right now. I can’t believe I am saying that to a Spanish ESC Song. They really brought their A game! Wow. And Alesia, I see how happy you are with this song, I felt the joy and can just share the positivity with you. This is going to be amazing!!! 😍
Its much better than cyprus 2021 ill give it that...shes a ballerina but the song isnt THAAAAT good the final was really good overall... I could have seen at least 6 out 8 songs at Eurovision
Staging and performance yes, undeniably perfection. But the song itself is not as impactful as Fuego. I hope that they can revamp it somehow (I don't know how) The song needs some magic. Chanel herself is pure magic . I love it anyway. Go Spain!
@@nicopittortou2537 its a perfectly executed choreo... Whether that makes it perfect staging or performance as such is another question... I think its equal to fuego but different and its years later. So that already changes things. But fuego came out with surprise, here we already know the performance. I was referring to El Diablo btw
Please do it, react to the running ups. As a Spanish I am so proud of what was done this year with Benidorm Fest. Even if this wasn’t my favorite to win I am so happy. It’s amazing. The quality of the preselection songs makes me really happy. It made it difficult for me to vote but I love it cause that means I was well done. SPAIN IS BACK Thank you for your reaction.
Gracias and thanks for this. There are a lot of controversial thoughts in Spain right now due to the girl who was selected. Many people think Rigoberta or Tanxugeiras should have been selected insted of Chanel. She is amazing
I think this is going to finish top 5 this year in the final. It really stands out for being catchy and really well thought out, well delivered and well performed. I think this will get points from everyone.
Hearing you talking about the staging ideas for ESC, I hope that Spanish delegation continues with these changes and give Chanel a staging up to the song she’s singing, bc other contestants last year revealed that the delegation was rejecting contestants staging proposals or changes. I hope this year, after the polemics in the preselection, the delegation do right by our Chanel
It wasn’t my favourite, or my choice to win, but I’m not disappointed. After seeing it with the show in the semi it was obvious it could be a contender, before that it was just a pleasant enough studio track. It needs the show, and they delivered! There’s a couple of times where it feels the recorded vocals are doing some heavy lifting, but she can clearly sing even with all the choreo, which is impressive. Whatever the result this year, and I hope it’s better than the last few years, I will be willing then to keep Benidorm Fest going. It was broadly very high quality.
@@trinifernandez2906 while it's true the competition is called Eurovision SONG contest, the way that you go about the live performance matters a lot more than people seem to believe sometimes. If you have a great song but you cannot defend it on stage you will flop, like what happened with last year's UK. On the other hand if you have an ok song but you slay the stage you can get amazing results, like Fuego did back then. So while singers and composers deserve their chance on the competition (let's not forget we have had Måneskin, Duncan and Salvador as the most recent wins and they are all singers/composers) dancers and stage experts can also do their thing, especially if they can ace their singing the way Chanel did in all three of her performances while dancing and twisting her entire body for three minutes straight. God knows I wouldn't be able to finish that without losing my voice
@@guillemmartinez9958 Chanel deserved the win as other contenders did. But imo the weight of the votes jury- public (demoscope and general public) should be level. In San Remo, the model rtve chose, is 1/3 each with a lot more members in the jure and the demoscope ones They decided to give more power to the jury. And now we can see that even though an entry wins 2/3 "portions" isn't enough bc the other is the decisive one.
@@guillemmartinez9958 Of course, rtve has the right to decide how to do with votes. But there's the risk for Spaniards to be disappointed considering their election "secondary" yo the jury that is "first".

Totally agree that's the most hard thing stay dancing and still on tone. Unbelievable !

I hope that everything that Ben Mawson is saying isn't just PR. He is definitely saying all the right things, so hopefully Tap Records can help turn the UK's luck around and maybe create a Benidorm Fest style show of their own in the future.
It only takes one song/performance as we saw with The Netherlands in 2013 and Spain's may be SloMo. With this song it would be the performance, let's face it Fuego was hardly a masterpiece of a song. Who knows we may have a Birds moment for all three this year.
I mean Germany has served a couple times in the past decade too, not to the same level as France or Italy but quality songs that made it into the top 10, plus before Måneskin they were the last big 5 win in 2010. Honestly for me it was Spain and the UK from the start, and Spain is already changing its ways so we only need the UK now
@@guillemmartinez9958 You are right. I'm less concerned about Germany than UK's position. Germany is just inconsistent.
@@guillemmartinez9958 but Germany has also had some of the worst entries of the big 5
Let's go Chanel!!!✌🤩❤💛❤🔥⭐🥳👑🥰

Fantástica maravillosa Chanel ❤️🇪🇦 brutal
Chanel es puro espectaculo
Spain have a potential to win Eurovision Song Contest 2022
Her theatre training has definitely come in handy! She truly did that! The breath support is 100% on point!
You’ve nailed it on the head Alesia, for me, Chanel has now completely changed my perception of artists who have a bad vocal while dancing, she’s just shown everyone in that category up, if you can’t sing while dancing then don’t dance
Upset Spanish fans will get over it when she delivers the best results in 20 years for Spain... I watched it with a large group of internationals and even the diehard Terra fans who didn't care much for SloMo said that Spain has to pick this one.
Hope not. It still no excuse to not take the Spanish publics choice into account.
I mean 5 people basically erasing the whole of Spain doesn't sit right with me.
@@j.b.2263 Gurl she was picked 2nd by the democratic vote and 3rd by the televotes. Not last. A lot of Spanish people voted for her, and at Eurovision the vote isn't only the public's vote and anyone's vote other than the Spanish public. There are very good reasons for the score it got by each vote category. If you want to send successful entries instead of just local fan favorites you need to take these juries into account as well.
If Chanel wouldn't have placed that high with third public she would've have won.
@@brock988 of sure wasn't placed that high by THE PUBLIC she wouldn't be win regardless of the jury. That's a fact.
@@iftyhargil8359 Chanel was among the best 3 acts. Obviously she was going to get at least a 3rd place televote. The "international" jury they picked were basically two randoms lol. Head of delegation for Iceland? .... please.
The juries basically gave Terra NO chance to win. There was no excuse to not rank the song in the top 3 or at least top 4.
Chanel is a powerhouse of a artist she's got a distinct light -which is what really saves "sloMo" is a normal pop song made great
by a exceptional performer.
still waiting for a moment and a song like the preview winers.
Aguaaaa!! CHANEL the BEST this year!!!💖💖💖💃💃💃🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
I knew she would win when this part kicked in 3:06. It's THAT epic.
CHANEL ES ESPECTACULAR ES INCREÍBLE MUJER ME ENCANTA 🥰 ESPAÑA 🇪🇸
GURL, EUROPE SMELLS LIKE CHANEL!!!,,, DIVA, DESERVED WINNER !!! BRAVO SPAIN
My 2nd place won in Spain, and first place in Czechia and Albania sooooo, this seasons shaping up well so far
I would of been happy with Rayden or Tanxu but Chanel has the whole package
I love this song! Channel the best whattttt performancee Go girl!
What a fantastic show Benidorm Fest! Chanel Will do very well in Italy
Thanks for your reaction Alesia ❤️
Not in love with the vocals- they're good, not great. What I do love is the entire package. The routine builds and builds each minute. Dance moves are powerful/athletic/commanding. Everything works. It's a feast. I predict she'll do very well.
So let me guess. You expect an opera song sung while running in high heels 👠 and dancing... OK?
My number one Eurovision 2022 Candidate is Spain (Channel) 🇪🇸🔥🌟❤️🔥💯
Your videos are awesome and your reactions are spot on! You fully get the performance, staging, vocals and how it will look at Eurovision 🤟 one of the best doing reactions 🥳💃
This performance is IT! It is what Eurovision Fans have been craving for years. And please, I can’t hear those „Her vocals are weak“. Did y’all ever see routine danced with that much passion on the Eurovision stage? And don’t say Eleni, because choreography wise this is miiiiles ahead. The stunner did not invent dancey pop songs. Chanel delivered, she has a cute yet sexy aura reminding me of Camilla Cabello and she oooozes sex appeal. I still wonder how she was not out of breath, she must’ve worked sooo hard. The package is ready for Eurovision. Clearly the first place as of right now. I can’t believe I am saying that to a Spanish ESC Song. They really brought their A game! Wow. And Alesia, I see how happy you are with this song, I felt the joy and can just share the positivity with you. This is going to be amazing!!! 😍
Its much better than cyprus 2021 ill give it that...shes a ballerina but the song isnt THAAAAT good
the final was really good overall... I could have seen at least 6 out 8 songs at Eurovision
Staging and performance yes, undeniably perfection. But the song itself is not as impactful as Fuego. I hope that they can revamp it somehow (I don't know how) The song needs some magic. Chanel herself is pure magic . I love it anyway. Go Spain!
@@nicopittortou2537 its a perfectly executed choreo... Whether that makes it perfect staging or performance as such is another question...
I think its equal to fuego but different and its years later. So that already changes things. But fuego came out with surprise, here we already know the performance. I was referring to El Diablo btw
@@achnix3167 For sure better than El Diablo 100%. But the one it needs to beat is Fuego, which could not even beat the chicken song.
The performance was so cute, I was like "awwww" the entire time, omg!!!!!
Please do it, react to the running ups. As a Spanish I am so proud of what was done this year with Benidorm Fest. Even if this wasn’t my favorite to win I am so happy. It’s amazing. The quality of the preselection songs makes me really happy. It made it difficult for me to vote but I love it cause that means I was well done.
SPAIN IS BACK
Thank you for your reaction.
Love you Chanel!! Love you Alesia! ❤️
Waooooo, winner alert!
Gracias and thanks for this. There are a lot of controversial thoughts in Spain right now due to the girl who was selected. Many people think Rigoberta or Tanxugeiras should have been selected insted of Chanel. She is amazing
I think this is going to finish top 5 this year in the final. It really stands out for being catchy and really well thought out, well delivered and well performed. I think this will get points from everyone.
Yes, to everything you just said, YES.
GURL IM IN, QUEEN!!! Top ten alert!!
I'm from Spain and I absolutely agree!!
Hearing you talking about the staging ideas for ESC, I hope that Spanish delegation continues with these changes and give Chanel a staging up to the song she’s singing, bc other contestants last year revealed that the delegation was rejecting contestants staging proposals or changes. I hope this year, after the polemics in the preselection, the delegation do right by our Chanel
This is what was needed from Spain, you're right!! Always speaking true facts Alesia!! ✨
It wasn’t my favourite, or my choice to win, but I’m not disappointed. After seeing it with the show in the semi it was obvious it could be a contender, before that it was just a pleasant enough studio track. It needs the show, and they delivered!
There’s a couple of times where it feels the recorded vocals are doing some heavy lifting, but she can clearly sing even with all the choreo, which is impressive.
Whatever the result this year, and I hope it’s better than the last few years, I will be willing then to keep Benidorm Fest going. It was broadly very high quality.
If they want to maintain quality, good composers and singers need to feel they have a chance. This is what worries me.
It's more and more clear what happened.
@@trinifernandez2906 while it's true the competition is called Eurovision SONG contest, the way that you go about the live performance matters a lot more than people seem to believe sometimes. If you have a great song but you cannot defend it on stage you will flop, like what happened with last year's UK. On the other hand if you have an ok song but you slay the stage you can get amazing results, like Fuego did back then. So while singers and composers deserve their chance on the competition (let's not forget we have had Måneskin, Duncan and Salvador as the most recent wins and they are all singers/composers) dancers and stage experts can also do their thing, especially if they can ace their singing the way Chanel did in all three of her performances while dancing and twisting her entire body for three minutes straight. God knows I wouldn't be able to finish that without losing my voice
@@guillemmartinez9958 Chanel deserved the win as other contenders did. But imo the weight of the votes jury- public (demoscope and general public) should be level. In San Remo, the model rtve chose, is 1/3 each with a lot more members in the jure and the demoscope ones
They decided to give more power to the jury. And now we can see that even though an entry wins 2/3 "portions" isn't enough bc the other is the decisive one.
@@guillemmartinez9958 Of course, rtve has the right to decide how to do with votes. But there's the risk for Spaniards to be disappointed considering their election "secondary" yo the jury that is "first".
Llegó la mami....la mejor actuación de toda la historia de Eurovisión...alucinante!
Thank you so much from Spain !!
Espectacular España..💃🏻💃🏻🇪🇸🔥
Big 5 revival
Come on now 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!!! She need ur suport now!

Damn I really wanted Tanxugeira to win but this.. this is good. Something Spain should be proud of
That was a horrible mess
la he visto 100 veces y hasta ahora no me di cuenta que tiene bailarines jjjjj, solo puedes mirarla a ella
A start is born
