Yes, Spain can win Eurovision with Chanel: this is what experts and eurofans say

Spain's representative at Eurovision, Chanel Terrero, drew three standing ovations from the press center with each pass of her second rehearsal on the Turin stage, which fills with lights and warm tones with Spain's performance.

Chanel brings new choreography and various arrangements in the base of the song. Warm lights and outfits inspired by bullfighting are the characteristics of the 'performance', which includes a large red fan at the end.

Dressed in a design by Córdoba-based Palomo Spain, a black jumpsuit and leather jacket with more than 50,000 Swarovski crystals, Chanel is accompanied on stage by dancers Exon Arcos, Josh Huerta, Pol Soto, Raquel Caurín, and María Pérez.

'SloMo' includes new arrangements that delve deeper into both Spanish and Latin American tradition, nodding to Chanel's cultural references. A new production and mix of the song, respectful of the original version, that gains in strength and surprises with small details.

The staging prepared for the Eurovision 2022 final also preserves iconic elements of Chanel's performance in Benidorm, such as the 'dance break', although with new lighting that further highlights the strength of Spain's candidate on stage; and the strobe effect of the chorus that represents the slow motion that the song alludes to.

The novelty of this performance came at the final part, with the introduction of choreography in the last chorus; a solo by Chanel with progression of ascending high notes, which showcase the versatility and vocal qualities of the singer and dancer; cascade of fire and pyrotechnic elements and a very Spanish element: a fan at a moment in the performance.

During the three minutes of performance on May 14, a total of 18 of the 24 available cameras in the show were used, and more than 70 shots that underscore and focus on the talent, energy, and magnetism of our Spanish representative at Eurovision.

After the second rehearsal, Chanel held a new press conference in which she was very satisfied with today's result on stage: "We are very happy although we are not going to stop working and perfecting to make the best performance on May 14".

The end of the press conference witnessed a very important moment: the draw for which half of the final she will perform in. Luck has decided it will be in the first half.
