Excited… Or so it seemed. Ana Rosa Quintana and her collaborators began TardeAR on Monday afternoon to the rhythm of Zorra, the song that Nebulossa will bring to Eurovision representing Spain next May after winning the Benidorm Fest 2024.
A feminist, protest anthem, with a message for the LGTBIQ collective and against ageism, which however does not seem to have convinced everyone. Artists, journalists and even Pedro Sánchez, president of the Government, spoke out, although in favor, ensuring that “the ‘fachosphere’ would have liked to have Face in the Sun.”
Some words that did not please Ana Rosa Quintana, who had harshly attacked Sánchez since the beginning of the program. “In Spain, anyone who disagrees with Pedro Sánchez is a facha,” the presenter stated, referring to Pedro Sánchez’s “fachosphere”.
The presenter gave way to the collaborators to know their opinion. While the youngest of them, Marina Riverss, claimed that she was delighted with the song and being called a “bitch”, her classmates did not seem to agree.
“Songs like this have been made for many years, we have not invented anything,” claimed Cristina Tárrega, who assured that she did not understand the controversy that had been generated with the song. “Does it bother you when they call you ‘bitch’? I personally don’t like it.”
“It’s a ‘I want to and I can’t’ by Rigoberta Bandini,” said Susana Díaz.
For Fernandisco, the song will possibly be among the top 15 positions at the festival, due to its fun aspect. Now, María has to prepare thoroughly, because she stated that she “sings badly.” “She has a long way to go until May,” noted the music expert.
A similar opinion was held by the audience present in the program, to which Ana Rosa addressed to ask what they thought of Nebulossa’s song to represent Spain in Eurovision next May. To the journalist’s surprise, only one of them – a director of the program – was in favor of the issue.
The controversy, however, was brought about by a question from Xavier Sardá, who suddenly questioned his colleagues about their sexuality. “Is anyone at the table gay?” he asked, suddenly. “I’m a bit of a sissy,” Tárrega responded.
“So what are we doing talking about Eurovision if we are not gay,” said Sardá, making Fernandisco jump from his seat, incredulous at what he had just heard: “Xavier Sardá, this is a show for all audiences.” Cristina Tárrega went further: “What we had to do is thank the homosexuals, because thanks to them we have recovered our enthusiasm for the festival. They have given it color.”
