After months of waiting, the final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest has started in style at the Malmö Arena in Sweden. The multiple controversies surrounding Israel have muddied a contest where Spain appeared with Nebulossa, the duo from Ondara formed by Mery Bas and Mark Dassousa. Her song Zorra was chosen to represent Spanish Radio Television and the entire country after winning the Benidorm Fest.
The Valencians took the stage in eighth place, in the first half of the performance round. A complete number that has been greatly applauded and chanted by those present in the pavilion. However, Mery Bas has suffered a small setback that was noticeable in the final moments of her performance. The moment appears in the 39th second of the video published on X (Twitter) by Eurovision RTVE. Despite this, the public has celebrated her song effusively.
“Impressive performance by Mery and Nebulossa. I have never seen so many people chant a Festival song. The fans know her and like her, that’s a lot. We have already won no matter what. !! Congratulations!! Thanks for moving us. Aúpa España”, expressed one of the users. “How well Mery has done. Super proud of our candidacy for another year. “Let it now be what it has to be,” could be read in another of the responses.
“How the whole audience has vibrated, it was necessary to raise the gala and she has done it. We have to feel very proud of having once again won a good candidacy and this time to enjoy above all else,” expressed another user. A performance that has occurred two places after Eden Golan and her Hurricane, which have once again put Israel in the eye of the storm after the controversies of recent months.
On this occasion, the boos and whistles against Golan have been much more evident than in the semifinal he played on Thursday, being heard both at the beginning and at the end of the piece. The applause and cheers from the rest of the Eurofans present in Malmö have also been audible, trying to cover up other people’s criticism. The Israeli singer has not responded to these gestures and concluded her piece without further complications.
As happened two days ago, social networks have been filled with messages against this performance, with the majority of messages in the Eurovision RTVE tweet asking for the piece to be deleted. The moment of booing has also been immortalized by multiple users on platforms such as
