Spain 1993

'Hobres' (Men), by Eva Santamaria. Composer: Carlos Toro. Lyrics: Carlos Toro

This is a good song, but it is in completely the wrong environment.

'Hombres' (as if anyone in the lyricists target audience needs a translation) has one advantage that many Eurovision songs do not have. No matter which thirty second clip of the song you listen to, you will always hear exactly the same part of the song. That makes it easy when it comes to the recap clip, what a shame you judge a the song on the whole three minutes.

There's no real introduction to the song. It just starts at a convenient point in the melody for all the instruments to start at the same time. Santamaria finds her level almost immediately and away she goes. They've labeled the song 'dancefloor', the tempo as 'comfortable hip shaking' and the excitement level as 'three out of five'.

'Hombres' is acceptable for a nightclub as a song to catch your breath between the faster beats. On the Millstreet stage it's a bit... boring.

Points: 58. Placing: 11th.
