Paula Vazquez presented the gala looking radiant and charming in a green dress. 5 finalists qualified to compete in the grand final (3 via public televoting along with 2 via Mision Eurovision Jury).
20 candidates showed off the best of their vocal skills. Most of the acts were accompanied by impacting and colourful choreographies including dancers and special effects. Santa Fe was accompanied by a gospel choir during their performance. NASH had violists with them on stage, while Paco Arrojo had a dashing performance. Paco had cabaret dancers and acrobatic effects during his performance.Most of the singers opted to wear either black,redor white. NASH and Rebeca looked mindblowing in white!
