Fusa Nocta

The search for Chanel’s successor is on, and Spain is ready to find its next Eurovision superstar. Benidorm Fest kicks off this Tuesday, with nine acts competing to claim one of the spots in Saturday’s grand final. 

Ahead of Benidorm Fest semi-final 1, we asked our readers to vote for who they think should qualify. And now, the results are in.

Fusa Nocta a favourite in Benidorm Fest semi-final 1

We asked you to vote for who you think should win Benidorm Fest semi-final one. And coming out on top is Fusa Nocta with “Mi Familia”. Fusa Nocta picked up a grand total of 1,743 votes — that’s 20.58% of all votes cast. 

Fusa Nocta — real name Mirian Nares — burst onto the Spanish trap scene after finding fame on season three of The X Factor. Now, she’s departing slightly from her typical urban style. Her Benidorm Fest track “Mi Familia” uses traditional flamenco elements, such as clapping and guitars.

Claiming the silver medal in our poll is Agoney with “Quiero Arder”. The dance-pop anthem was an immediate favourite with Eurovision fans, who were hooked on the song’s feisty lyrics and devilish beats. Our readers awarded Agoney with 1,496 votes — that’s 17.66% of all votes cast.

Rounding out the top three is Alice Wonder with “Yo quisiera”. Alice’s retrospective track also proved popular with our readers, amassing a total of 1,332 votes — 15.72% of all votes.

Full results: Who should qualify from Benidorm Fest 2023 semi-final 1?

  1. Fusa Nocta — “Mi Familia” — 20.58%, 1,743 votes
  2. Agoney — “Quiero Arder” — 17.66%, 1,496 votes

A non-flamenco song called ‘flamenco’ shouldn’t be in the final.
Megara, Alice Wonder, Fusa Nocta and Sofía Martin are my favorites

I really hope that Sofia will qualify, I mean her song is such a bop, unfortunatly it’s terribly underrated by the fandom 🙁

Well this is more flamenco than the actual “Flamenco”, but yeah it would be interesting.

Tonight is the final of Eurovision Song CZ 2023 and it’s taking place in Prague with five artists competing. I really love VESNA’s song, amazing music and lyrics.
However, I am sure they won’t vote it and instead they will send someone audience ‘friendly’

I’d be very surprised if she didn’t win, a clear cut above the rest. I think maybe even the best song of the season so far.

It stands out from the rest and if it wins, it has the potential for the top 10.
However, I’m afraid that international fans & jury may affect the result and choose a more ‘light & less controversial ‘ song.

Boy, this is a tough semifinal. Somebody is going to lose out, no matter what. I hope all the live performances are very good tomorrow.

He is the favourite one for the organization (RTVE). They just said today that they gave their punctuations according to the “foreign taste”. But I have been watching lots of foreign reactions and reading lots of foreigners’ comments in this site and others and he does not seem to be a favourite for nobody.

I think the odds are wrong about Megara and that they will qualify, but they won’t win.

Megara not qualifying would be such a disappointment. It would defo do well in esc. Also, why is this semi WAY stronger than the second semi, it’s giving esc 2018

I really want to ask this.

What do you all find in Artiz’s entry? Why would you pick it over Megara?

I can’t seem to find something positive about it. Asking respectfully.

slomo had success not because of the song, song was generic bottom latina stuff and before live performance nobody wanted it, also spain is always low with dance entries, exept random 2022 result

girrl Slomo is the most selling song by female solo artist in Spain in 2022. SloMo is certified for 3 Platiniums! That song was a hit and the performance made that song winner material.

I’m bored with Megara, i was waiting a stronger rock song. It’s very soft for me. But wait, nothing is still decided.

My favorite is Fusa Nocta, but I have a feeling she’ll ruin her chances with live performance
