The first show of Misión Eurovisión, aired tonight by TVE, has revealed the names of the first five qualified artists for the semi-final, to be held next February 6th. Santa Fe, Nessa, Miguel Cañadas (chosen by the public), Gerard and Poker (appointed by the two advisors, Massiel and Mikel Herzog) are already qualified. esctoday.com analyses these entrants.

SANTA FE

One of the most alternative entrants at this first Gala was amongst the top positions from the beginning of the voting round. The four Cuban boys rocketed upthe leaderboard and once ahead, extended their lead to win with 195 points. They sang the song Esto es pa' ti, a reggae / hip hop style that has become very popular since the summer amongst the Spanish people. Santa Fe received 12 points from 8 Spanish regions (Asturias, Balearic Islands, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Galicia and Navarra).

NESSA

A powerful gospel singer's voiceis Nessa's most relevant vocal attribute. This girl who comes from the southern town of Almeria performed Anastacia's I'm outta love, a song that fits her voice quality properly. Finishing as runner-up with 149 points and direct qualifying for the semi-final is Nessa's reward tonight. Nessa was the favourite entrant for the viewers from her home region of Andalusia who awarded her 12 points. She received 10 points from the Balearic Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León and Melilla.

MIGUEL CAÑADAS

Miguel Cañadas, who sang A puro dolor, maybe the most famous theme of Son By Four, was placed 3rd in the final chart with 141 points. He was since the beginning of the show, one of the public's favourite contestants, both inside and outside the studios. His good voice and performance got 12 points from Murcia, Valencia (his bithplace) and from the mobile phone vote covering the whole of Spain.

GERARD

The youngest competitor tonight impressed the public with his special performance, different from the others: the song Sorry seems to be the hardest word, self-accompaniedon piano, brought Gerard to the 8th position. However, Massiel and Mikel Herzog, the two advisors, decided to rescue him andreward him witha place in the semifinal. 12 points from Catalonia was his highest votes.

POKER

Hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs appeared on stage on 13th place, and it seems that this number brought good luck to them. An original performance, with the faces of the group members full of makeup emulating the four card suits, received 97 points in total to take4th position. Although many points behind the three automatic qualifiers,Massiel and Herzog put them into the list of qualified artists in the end. Bon Jovi's song It's my life was their elected theme for tonight's show.

Other entrants received good scores: Baltanás, one of the public's favourites, got 92 points (5th place, and just two points behind Poker); and Amaia Saizar, ex-Bravo (Spain 1984), got 81 (6th).

On the other hand, the last three classified were Cristina Conde, Anabel's sister, who received 30 points; and Katia Ballester and Juan Ikaro, both with 22 points and closing the chart.
