“Grandma Carmen, if she had seen it, I don’t know what would have happened. She has a trick. On the cover of Grandma there was a trick. (She refers to the EAEA single where her grandmother comes out). If you see on my chest grandmother, there are some fringes that have been on stage. That circle of fringes is like the womb from which I emerge and where I am going.” with these words Blanca Paloma has confirmed the meaning of her performance in it Benidorm Fest 2023.
A set full of symbolism and with a very personal touch for her so that one of the most important people in her life was present. And the result could not have been more spectacular judging by the vote of both the public and the jury.
White Dove has managed to enter through the front door in the final of the Benidorm Fest 2023 and now we will have to wait to see if it finally manages to rise as a Spanish representative for Eurovision 2023 with this performance.
She claims to feel “at home” when it comes to defining her time at the Benidorm Fest. “There is always pressure. We want the message to get through. But I do believe that the experience has left its mark. I have enjoyed being on stage” she has acknowledged on the level of demand that she has noticed from the stage.
His proposal is something different from what has been sent to Eurovision in recent years, but it may have a place, being so from our land: “I think we haven’t had the opportunity to send flamenco since Remedios Amaya. I have a deep respect for flamenco. It’s not pure flamenco. I’d love to follow that trail”.
Blanca Paloma has shown, in addition to talent, a lot of ambition to get into the final: “I’m going for everything, I have it clear” acknowledges the interpreter. “I have become that character, that archer who accompanied me during the previous Benidorm Fest” she points out about the archer’s posture at the end of her song.
The singer has started with a very close-up, where she has played with the shadows. As soon as she has moved away from the plane we have begun to see hands clapping from the sides. But that’s just the beginning, Blanca, who is a great set designer (she has devised everything herself), knows perfectly well that this is television and she has devised each shot so that you can’t stop watching. Those clapping hands have become bailaoras who have accompanied the artist at all times.
