The Misión Eurovisión puzzle is already completed. TVE has aired tonight the last qualifying Gala, in which 12 soloists and 4 duets performed on stage. The Spanish public chose three of the soloists and the only duet going through the semifinal via televote, whilst the organization appointed one of the soloists. esctoday.com offers you all the fortunate names with a brief overview for each.
The following are the 5 selected acts that are taking part in the semifinal, to be held next February 10th.
GERARD AND MIRELA (duet)
The youngest participants at the duets modality, both already individually qualified, had a great chance to show their aptitude once again. They did not waste their opportunity and gained the most of the public support. Their performance, a Spanish version of Mariah Carey's Without you, beated the other potent duos: Two Heaven (Baltanás and Mercedes Sayas), Rebeca & Paco Arrojo and Rut Marcos & Yolanda.
MERCHE LLOBERA
Definitely, the youngest competitors have been the public's favourites tonight. Merche Llobera, who hails from Madrid, is 19 years old and has participated at other programmes aired time ago by TVE: Veo, veo and Música Sí. She has also experience in the interpretation world, having given her voice to some characters in TV series: CSI or Falcon Beach, to name a few. Her performance, Si tú no estás aquí, gained 191 points and was placed first since almost the beginning of the show. Balearic Islands, the Basque Country, La Rioja, Ceuta and Melilla rewarded her with 12 points.
FRAN
Fran Pahino was born in Valladolid 31 years ago and is descended from a family of artists. He has been devoted to music for 12 years, and has developed his career as a soloist and as a member of different bands. Fran climbed positions tonight and became the runner-up with 154 points. Most of them came from Castile and Leon (his homeland), Galicia, Murcia and Navarre.
MIRIAM ROCA
Miriam is 19 years old and comes from Mequinenza, a town in Aragon. She started developing her musical abilities at the age of 5 and now she lives in Barcelona. 113 points, the third place and, therefore, the direct qualification for the semifinal are her reward tonight. Aragon, Miriam's natal Autonomous Community, gave her 12 points.
LUIS AMANDO
There has been a novelty about the organizers' election tonight. Massiel and Mikel Herzog have not pronnounced the name of the rescued competitor, but it has been given to the host Paula Vázquez inside a closed envelope. Luis Amando has been the name that has completed the list of qualified acts for the semifinal. After being placed 8th with 85 points, Misión Eurovisión bore his experience, especially at musical plays, in mind.
The final scoreboard tonight has been fixed as follows:
01. MERCHE LLOBERA, 191
02. FRAN, 154
03. MIRIAM ROCA, 113
04. DAVINIA, 95
