Congrats Canada! 6th place for Spain again, which is our best result ever at an Annual contest 

I had to leave and I didn't see it, but thanks @Federer91 for the Spain 12!

You are just teasing us.

Fun fact: I have never had a 12

Your song came close for me, but all the Spanish songs were too similar unfortunately. I’m also just not a fan of Latin Pop, but your entry was a nice surprise 

I think the Argentinan song is more "canción de autor" rather than Latin pop, and the strongest point of the canción de autor is usually the lyrics. Personally, I loved the meaning of the song, but  I think that for non-Spanish speakers will be difficult to vote the song unless they understand the lyrics

Thank you for the seven points @Cobi 

Thank you for sharing it! I have listened it a few more times after sending the votes and now I like it even more.

 PHILIPPINES 

I listened this song by chance a few weeks ago and I really liked it, so this year Philippines is going to be my second pick for the Festival of Music.

Binalewala - Michael Libaranda

 COLOMBIA 

This was the most listened song in Spain in 2019, so I thought about presenting it to represent Spain this year. Finally I selected the other song because I liked it more, but I will post the song here as the Colombian entry in the Festival of Music. It is a collab between the Spanish singer Rosalía and the Colombian singer J Balvin:

Con Altura - ROSALÍA, J Balvin

For football will they make an exception for players with 24 ys that would have took part in Tokyo 2020 normaly ? another problem 

Football rules do not mention the age of the players, it only says that "All players participating in the preliminary and final competitions of the Tournament shall be born on or after 1 January 1997", so everybody who was eligible to play this year, will be eligible to play in 2021.

I liked it! I would increase the quotas to add some combat sports (taekwondo, judo, boxing, fencing or karate) and sailing.

In Spain, 2200 cases and 50 deaths.

Epee World Cups in Buenos Aires (males) and Tashkent (females) have been cancelled. FIE might try to find new venues, as they already did for men sabre last week.

Fourth and last listen finished, and I just sent my votes to the host. It has been really tough to decide this year as I said before there are a lot of good songs I really enjoyed. In fact, one of the songs I liked the most during my first listen (2nd place) has not finally made the top12.

so it will be hled tomorrow in Luxemburg?

Yes.

hace 43 minutos, JoshMartini007 dijo:

Robles/Xiao will have an opportunity to qualify to the Olympics in mixed doubles, but they must defeat Wang/Sun in the semi-final.

It's almost impossible to beat China in table tennis, so we will not get the quota here, but hopefully we could qualify through the world ranking.

I just finished my first listen and 17 songs have made my first cut. I will have two more listenings in the new few days in order to give the points, but it's going to be tough, as I have really liked these 17 songs... Furtheremore, I was not expecting to hear so many songs in Spanish considering only 3 Spanish speaking nations are participating!

I think they're running out of options...

 

and I don't think they can still keep the date, as 1 week notice is really a short period...

 

let's see if later today or tomorrow they release an official statement...

 

however, in may there are still world cup stages on schedule, so they could use them to replace this weekend's even if they are outside the original OQP...

The Zonal Qualifiers are in April, so it would not be possible.

Great Germany !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Individual ?

It is not mathematical yet, but probably Marcus Mepstead  and the last quota between ,  and .

Yes, they did. I don't know the reasons.
