Television, Controversy, Originality or Music? What sounds more?
The word "sounds" in popular speech comes from "noise" What else makes more noise? or is heard more often. In the globalized world of television and, controversy and / or music destcan on social networks. Yet for several decades, television has a target Eurovision, and search for a song to represent them.
Artists from across the continent where it is establecidad posit the European channel with a song, and then have a national presentation and then compete internationally against the representatives of the chains from other countries. It is necessary that the song stand out, that people are willing to buy and support the artist that represents it.
It's like a musical Miss Universe, where an important channel not only gives you the push traditional means but you catapult facing the continent. In the case of the version in Spanish and because it is Spanish-speaking, as it is a language that stands out in Latin America is likely to lean to the artist of that speech.
Personally, I remember seeing the presentation of these artists of that country. I had met "above" what was the competition, remember the song Ephuria Loreen, I loved it. And changing the channels I came across the contest. Objectively it was the most similar song and all the songs were "very popular" more of the same. Manel SPNP the proposal and a rock song that presented one of the 6 finalists. It was evident discontent of the public present in the TV studio, by Manel score had been tied with another artist who had participated three times in the consurso, and that this recent occasion also won.
The argument of the jury were; "Freshness"; "something different". Certainly it is a simple song, pop, romantica that distinguishes that sound something Indie Pop and Dance "New Pop" a kind of genre that igualitariza the sound of all popular songs today.
Although this song is not so danceable if has to talk about. Manel is good, because it's your time, you must generate sufficient impact because it will not have another arena to make themselves known, the time is now, even badmouth. She was not capable of the best voices, and most original song, but the sound was different and artists should show the past or the future. Unfortunately in the music world "polemics" notes the artist, either for good or bad reason. In the case of Manel, it is an ambiguous case should take to prove you have something else, but honestly the song is handled that way.
From the way he won, the video gives to speak, and that is the goal; fame through the television causing controversy, highlighting the originality or what makes this artist different from others and music that is cool to hear. Sometimes in the music world who becomes famous or sells more records it is not the best singer but he who sells better. For example the Boom Miley Cyrus Lady Gaga Post Disney or in the beginning, Britney. After "get fame" have time to show their cualiadades.
Although it is worth noting it is that there are sufiente of sounds made by computer, get out of the four walls, listening to a live guitar, enjoy the sea breeze. On the video, besides the obvious fits rescue that unlike all type One Direction (From going to the beach) in a British cart, videos he was a Jeep to the beach to see the girl - as they say the Spaniards mola him. Originality or not, honestly or not, for some musicians, rather, artists, it works. For some reason I remember his name, his hair, his shirt half shirt and guitar.
Do it For Your Lover.
