“Sudden Lights’ favorite song at Eurovision 2021: Spanish Blanca Paloma’s “Eaea””

Brothers Andrejs Reinis and Kārlis Matīss Zitmani from the group “Sudden Lights” recognize as their favorite the song “Eaea” by Spanish singer Blanca Paloma, which will be performed in the “Eurovision” final on Saturday as the eighth out of 26. they expect a neighbor from Lithuania.

Gropa “Sudden Lights” will watch the grand final of “Eurovision” in Liverpool – it is not yet known, at the venue of the show or in their hotel.

In a conversation with the “Delfi” portal, Andrejs and Kārlis Zitmani, members of the group, say that purely musically, their heart this year belongs to 33-year-old Blanka Paloma from Spain. Although the brothers expect the Finnish rapper to win, Blanka’s song seems more appropriate to their taste. “My favorite song in the competition is the Spanish song, because it doesn’t try to be a catchy pop song. It’s a simple and beautiful song. Like our song, you want to listen to it several times until it gets into your blood. But once it gets there, it stays there for a long time . The visual design is also very strong – it’s more than just a show, it’s a whole performance. That’s why I voted for Spain,” explains the “Sudden Lights” soloist.

At the same time, he predicts victory for Finnish representative Käärijä. The fact that this rapper is able to “take” the audience was shown by the reaction of the crowd in the arena after his performance in the first semi-final. People have reacted much brighter than after the performance of the other favorite, Sweden.

When asked how he evaluates the songs of our neighbors Estonia and Lithuania, Andrejs says: “Both countries have followed quite a similar path this year, offering beautiful ballads. Both girls have good vocals, but I think the Lithuanian song is more memorable, so I think it will do better than for Estonia.”

The band’s guitarist Kārlis Zitmanis agrees with his brother’s statement that both Estonian and Lithuanian songs are enjoyable: “Lithuanian has a very catchy song, but the Estonian one is stronger in terms of vocals. The Estonian song is a bit more suitable for my taste, but I assume that Lithuania will be higher,” he says. musician.

Kārlis also recognizes the Spanish “Eaea” as his closest song – Blanka has so far proven herself as a very strong and prepared artist. “This performance is superior – vocals, visuals, confidence…” He also likes the Czech offering – a song about Slavic friendship by six feminist-minded ladies.

However, he predicts the victory in the “Eurovision” song contest to one of the Nordic countries: “I wish that the Finnish guy succeeds! This song appeals to me much more than the song of the previous winner (Sweden’s representative Lorin won the laurels in 2012 with the song “Eyphoria”). Finland there’s a lot more truth to the song and Käärijä is a cool dude!”

The winner of “Eurovision” will be determined on Saturday, May 13. LTV’s live broadcast will start at pl. 22 and will last until about two in the morning. You can listen to both the Lithuanian and Estonian songs here.
